Kirstie's crackhead brother offers diet advice, and her dysfunctional parents intervene

Kirstie's attempt to meet No Doubt lead singer Gwen Stefani lands her in jail, where she reconnects with an ex-boyfriend who has a surprise for her.

Kirstie tries a new diet theory and surrounds herself with small things.

Kirstie Alley is at the end of her rope. After years of being on top, with a hit show in Cheers & Veronica's Closet, she has hit rock bottom because she is now fat - almost 300 pounds according to tabloids. Kirstie, desperate to rekindle the fame she once had off of Star magazine, requests a development meeting with Jeff Zucker for a project she has been thinking up. During this time of woe and anticipation for her, she seeks a man, and meets a ""big black guy"" who makes her feel needed and wanted. And even though her playmate works for NBC, Kirstie is rewarded with a development deal, so long as she loses a few pounds.

One of the rumors regarding Kirstie's weight gain is that she is having a kid---with Kid Rock! Elsewhere, she is on a mission to land a role in Charlie's Angels III.

Kirstie tries to get a lucrative deal from NBC because she realizes that she is low on cash.
