Kirstie Alley has managed to use her volatile weight fluctuations as a great avenue of income via TV deals that chronicle the ins and outs of her waistline.

A&E is the latest network to take the bait and go for it with Alley as single mother struggling with fame and weight issues whilst doing battle with Joy Behar on Twitter.

"#Kirstie Alley calls me Joy Bewhore. Compliments! Compliments! 4:34 PM Jan 22nd from TinyTwitter"

You get the gist of it: Alley will take us along for another ride on her latest weight management regimen as she juggles life.

Showtime had a run with Alley in the clever "Fat Actress."

A&E presents “Kirstie Alley’s Big Life,” a new real-life series that will chronicle the life of Golden Globe, Emmy winner and prominent Scientologist Kirstie Alley.

The show will reveal her new weight loss program to her life as a single mother trying to raise two normal teenagers in the Hollywood spotlight.

The series premieres Sunday, March 21 at 10PM ET/PT with back-to-back episodes.

“This show has been cathartic for me...shown me who I really am...again,” says Alley, “And it’s really freaking funny.”

According to A&E, one major theme in the series will be chronicling Kirstie’s comedic and unique take on her battle with weight loss, which coincides with the launch of her new weight loss company.  She's also producing a feature film, patenting multiple inventions, working hard to raise two normal Hollywood teenagers, True and Lillie, taking care of eight ringtail lemurs, and on top of everything, looking for love.
