Valerie Bertinelli Defends Kirstie Alley

Kirstie Alley is not fat. She has not gained back the weight she so famously lost as a Jenny Craig spokesperson. At least not according to Valerie Bertinelli, who tells ET, "I have seen Kirstie and I think she looks terrific."

Valerie, who was targeted by photographers last year when she went to Hawaii halfway through her Jenny Craig weight-loss program, knows what it is like to have unattractive photos hit the Internet and magazines.

"I saw those pictures and they were not flattering," the former "One Day at a Time" star admits, "I remember thinking, 'Why do they care about me?' Then, 'You idiot! You are a spokeswoman for a diet company.'"
