Kirstie Alley was always a favorite, so it was a big surprise to see her go home! Along with Gilles Marini, who has always been a fan favorite. What happened?

Kirstie told fans, “To do it once, was one thing. To be asked to come back and do it again was an honor. I learned more about dancing. And I want to thank Max, he’s so patient with me.”

Meanwhile, a very emotional Gilles thanked his number one supporter…his wife! “Without her I am nothing!”

Are you surprised that Kirstie and Gilles were sent home? How do YOU feel, Hollywoodlifers?

Robert Pattinson may still be reeling from his breakup with Kristen Stewart, but it seems there’s another starlet wanting to sink her claws into the Hollywood hunk. According to the National Enquirer, Kirstie Alley is “spearheading the efforts to lure” the 26-year-old actor to join the Church of Scientology — and has even visited his home!

The publication reports that the church is looking for a new celebrity to become the face of Scientology since the group’s previous frontman, Tom Cruise, has caused such embarrassment in light of his recent divorce from Katie Holmes.

“He’s young, he’s talented and he’s got a lot of money. Rob’s like a young Tom Cruise. He would appeal to younger people in a way that older celebrities, such as Cruise and John Travolta, might not,” claims a Scientology follower.

According to reports, Kirstie is so intent on having Rob join the sect that she’s even shown up at his home to plead her case. “I didn’t get a good look at the driver except that I noticed that the person had a lot of hair — so it was probably female,” reveals a source.

Do YOU think Rob is actually contemplating joining Church of Scientology, HollywoodLifers?

Kelly Preston was shocked when she fit into a pair of size-4 Hudson skinny jeans — she hadn’t been that size since high school! “I didn’t know if I was going to frame them or wear them!” she gushed to People. “It wasn’t one of those things where you’re lying on the bed trying to get them on, exhaling. I could still breathe!” So what’s her secret?

After the 49-year-old gave birth to son Benjamin, she was afraid she would be 20 lbs. heavier the rest of her life.

“My whole purpose was this baby, and he brought us so much joy, so if I had to weigh more for the rest of my life because of it, then I would have,” she revealed. “But I didn’t want to. I’m just like any other normal woman!”

Here’s how she got fit fast:

• Basketball with her 11-year-old daughter Ella
• Tennis with her husband John Travolta
• A slim-down diet of moderation
• Organic Liaison, a weight loss and natural supplement program created by Kirstie Alley

Let’s all stand up and do the slow clap for Kirstie Alley. For years now, we’ve watched the TV star yo-yo diet and struggle with obesity, but now, in the quiet of her own home — without reality shows and endorsements — she’s lost 100 pounds. Simply put, it’s unbelievable.

“I’ve lost 100 pounds,” Kirstie — who’s now wearing a size four — told Entertainment Tonight. “I feel like I’m back in my element. I honestly didn’t even realize what I looked like.”

Most recently, Kirstie competed on season 12 of Dancing with the Stars, where she lost the majority of the weight and finished in second place behind Hines Ward. Throughout the entire show, I was drawn to Kirstie because of her carefree, upbeat attitude — and hilarious sense of humor, especially when it came to her sexuality and looks.

It’s hard to believe Kirstie is 60 years old. Even when she was 100 pounds overweight, she looked — and acted — 20 years younger. What impresses me even more: it’s her attitude toward life that keeps her young, not plastic surgery!

“I haven’t had plastic surgery but here’s the reason: People do plastic surgery to make you look younger,” she said. “I don’t think it makes you look younger. I [think] it can make you look weirder.”

As someone who’s younger and looks up to many older female figures in Hollywood, it’s refreshing to hear this point of view. It seems like most everyone in the public eye who’s “aging gracefully,” has “had to” go under the knife.

Kirstie,  you look fantastic, but more importantly, you finally have your health under control. You’re an inspiration to anyone who has extra weight to lose — be it 100 pounds or those last stubborn 15.

Good luck with maintenance! We’re pulling for you.

Kirstie Alley made some serious waves earlier this year when she appeared as a contestant on the hit reality show Dancing With The Stars and the world watched her drastic weight loss each week! And we are happy to see the star has managed to keep the weight and take front and center at the Zang Toi runway this fashion week.

Not only did Kirstie manage to make it to second place in the dance competition show that season, the star also lost almost 90 pounds by the end of the season, making her a reported size 4! Kirstie’s confidence looked higher than ever as she wore two different looks on the runway– a huge sparkling ballgown and a simpler black shirt with leggings– she even wore the skin tight black out out and about later that in day in NYC with her boyfriend. The girl clearly has nothing to hide with her hot new figure and we can tell Kirstie agrees!
