Kirstie Alley's Organic Liaison = Weight Loss!? - RantRave | Published Opinion.
25 February 2010, 7:57 pm



"Fat Actress" Kirstie Alley has launched a new weight loss company: Organic Liaison. It sounds intoxicating, and much like Kirstie Alley herself, unique and crazy.

Two years ago, Kirstie Alley quit Jenny Craig's weight loss program and promised she was going to dream up her own way of losing extra pounds. Fast forward to this week: today, Kirstie Alley went on Oprah to unveil "Organic Liaison," her new organic weight loss program.

The site (http://www.organicliaison.com) promises an "innovative way of liaising people from conventional eating habits." Meaning eat less, and drink our products! Organic Liaison is based on a system of dietary supplements, natural products, and a system of online support. Somehow, Kirstie Alley's Organic Liaison is supposed to make losing weight "fun."

I was skeptical, so after a few Google searches, I found out that "Kirstie Alley's Organic Liaison" has attracted the attention of Anonymous – those guys who hate Scientology. It looks like they've pulled together a lot of information about Kirstie Alley and her weight loss program. They say that the costs of Organic Liaison (a membership fee and supplements) would go to fund Scientology. Hmm…

The Kirstie Alley Organic Liaison site promises that it's approved by the USDA, which is good, but I don't know. It seems expensive. Organic Liaison starts with a "Rescue Kit," which costs $139, then a monthly membership of $10 or an annual membership of $89. Plus the whole weight loss program is based on organic food, which is NOT cheap.

I don't know. I'm torn on the whole program. If I were you, I'd check out the website and find out if I can afford the whole Kirstie Alley Organic Liaison package before buying into it.

OMG! If Ms Alley's weight loss program works so well, why on earth does she need to go to this place?

If Kirstie (still?) had talent as an actress, she would not need to build a new career based on her weight problems.  There are roles that someone meeting her physical profile could play, but I guess it's easier to be a disgruntled has-been and a tabloid star than a talented and respected older actress.  I can't say scientology helped her in any way.

Blogger has encounter with Kirstie, knows more about cult's anti-gay policy than she does.

Kirstie Alley Diet Scheme: Scientology Front? - Hollywood Reporter (blog)
15 March 2010, 9:27 am

The blogs are alive with speculation that Kirstie Alley’s new diet scheme, called Organic Liaison, is a front for Scientology.

It sure seems that way.

Let’s not forget that Alley is a devoted member of the sect. She fronted a PR pamphlet for them in 2007 called “Keep Scientology Working.” (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Secrets/Kirstie/)

Organic Liaison’s advisory board includes a prominent Scientologist named Michelle Seward. Seward is also the CEO of Protege Financial, a Scientology-based company. The two other execs at Protege — Mark Francovich and Scott Foulk – are longtime, high-ranking, practicing Scientologists. Not only that: The corporate office for Organic Liaison is in Clearwater, Fla. — headquarters, not coincidentally, of Scientology. Organic Liaison is in the same building in Clearwater as the World Institute of Scientology.

Another member of the advisory board, Thomas Lovejoy, has a long association with Scientology through its so-called “Artists for Human Rights.” That group includes noted sect members Kelly Preston and Anne Archer. Archer’s son, Tom Davis, is chief celebrity wrangler for Scientology. Preston, of course, is married to Scientology cheerleader John Travolta. Coincidentally, a Tom Lovejoy was one of the earliest teachers of Scientology, way back in 1954. (Click here http://www.truthaboutscientology.com/read/dianotes/dianotes-03-31.pdf)

Also: Organic Liaison’s accountant is Saul Lipson, a highly placed Scientologist.

Another member of the advisory board, Soram Khalsa, MD, is also considered something of a “quack to the stars.” Khalsa is a Beverly Hills doctor who has a clinic for alternative medicine. According to his bio on Khalsa’s website:  “In his private medical practice, he integrates phytotherapeutics, homeopathy, acupuncture and environmental medicine with traditional internal medicine.” Here’s a good piece on Khalsa by freelance journalist Alex Pareene (http://trueslant.com/alexpareene/2009/07/09/quack-to-the-stars-dr-soram-khalsa/).

Oprah Winfrey recently let Alley shill her diet plan on her show. It’s not the first time Winfrey has devoted a massive amount of time to Alley or Scientologists like Cruise and Travolta. It’s certainly a bewilderment.

Kirstie Alley denies 'front' for Scientology - msnbc.com
16 March 2010, 11:04 am



After regaining all the weight she lost for Jenny Craig, Kirstie Alley has embarked on another public diet. But this time, the weight-loss program she’s selling is her own — and, the actress said, reports that’s it’s somehow connected to her Scientologist religion are unfounded.

On Tuesday in New York, TODAY’s Meredith Vieira asked Alley directly whether the “Organic Liaison” diet program is connected to Scientology.

Video: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/vp/35889399#35889399

“It’s such bullsh....” Alley started to say, before Vieira interrupted and stopped her from finishing a barnyard epithet.

‘It’s not true’
Vieira said that several Web sites and Scientology critics have reported that the directors of Alley’s company are top-level Scientologists, and that the business’s address is at the same building that houses Scientology offices in Clearwater, Fla.

“There are a lot of questions about how close these two groups are, and whether this isn’t just a front for Scientology,” The Hollywood Reporter’s Roger Friedman told NBC News.

“It’s not true. It’s not true,” Alley told Vieira. “I’m the top executive. The address in Clearwater is my accountant, and he’s a Scientology Jew. I don’t know what to say to it.”

Alley is one of several Hollywood celebrities — Tom Cruise and John Travolta are others — who are high-ranking members of the religion founded by science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard. Two years ago it was widely reported that she donated $5 million to the religion, earning her “diamond meritorious” status.

Vieira asked Alley if Scientology shares in the profits from her weight-loss program.

“No, they don’t. I’m way too cheap to do that,” she said with a laugh.

Battle of the bulge
In 2005, Alley, who had ballooned to 200 pounds, signed on with Jenny Craig as a spokeswoman and did a series of commercials that followed her as she lost 75 pounds using Jenny Craig products.

Then Alley and Craig parted ways and the former “Cheers” star started gaining weight again. This time, she hit 230 pounds before she decided to develop her own weight-loss program.

Alley also signed with A&E for a reality series that will chronicle the 59-year-old’s efforts to get down to 145 pounds.

The show, “Kirstie Alley’s Big Life,” also features her two adopted teenage children, son True and daughter Lillie. It’s something of a departure for Alley, who professes to hate reality shows.
......
A Pied Piper?
Alley said a side benefit of filming her own reality series is that the paparazzi who once camped out outside her house have disappeared. She assumes that’s because people who make a living photographing others don’t like being photographed themselves.

Alley said that pursuing paparazzi have disappeared since she started filming her reality series.
Alley’s Organic Liaison program costs about $5 a day, or about $1,700 a year, for the three supplements that are supposed to cleanse the body and curb appetite, according to her Web site. It advocates eating organically as being healthier.

The site has two disclaimers. One says: “Organic Liaison is a calorie-based weight loss program. Weight loss differs depending on the size, age, gender and activity level of the individual and is often more rapid at the beginning of the program. A weight loss of 2-3 pounds/week is expected as an average.”

The other says: “These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.”

Gee. A similar statement is required by law to be placed on the bottom of every E-METER scientology makes.

[Lorelei]

^^^
Well, it is required by law to be placed on eMeters, but Scientologists choose to put it on the bottom where it cannot be easily seen, from what I understand.
