Late night talk show host Chelsea Handler recently had Jenny Craig spokesperson Valerie Bertinelli on her show.
After batting Kristie Alley around on the comedy panel and making fun of her new weight loss documentary/TV show, Bertinelli came on strong at the start defending Alley from the panel.
"Girl, I saw the panel," Valerie said straight-shooting Chelsea. "You rise up off my Kirstie."
After Chelsea realized and remembered the two were friends, Valerie explained that she had looked up to Kirstie Alley during her own weight loss struggles.
"She was my mentor," said Bertinelli. To which Chelsea comically responded, "Well, that's your problem."
When the crowd's laughs subsided, Valerie continued to explain. "Ninety-five percent of people gain back their weight in five years," Bertinelli said. "And I've only been at this for two years so you might be making fun of me next year," she added.
Valerie, who will be 50 years old soon, works out and helps maintain her weight loss with runs on the beach. And while she admits to not getting much further than the parking lot on her reported 5 mile runs, she says running is her new thing.
"The first 20 minutes, I want to slit my wrists," she said while continuing to back up her enthusiasm for the sport. "Running is it," she added. Recently in a bikini on the cover of People magazine, Valerie confessed to quitting alcohol for 15 days prior to her bikini shoot
In addition to dishing on Val's weight loss, the two ladies chatted about Chelsea's Playboy cover, being a mother of an "18-and-a-half" year old "virgin" son and Valerie's new book.

No more fat jokes about anyone, except Kirstie.
It is how she makes her living. She should sell her fat in a can and call it FATFAST.
Oh yeah, if VB gains back the wait after she's dong shilling for Jenny, crucify her too!
Her show was good and inspiring to me, but I could've done without the "f" word so many times! Guess I'm old fashioned but I'm going to watch it again. If it doesn't stop I'll quit watching. They can do the show without having to beap out so many words. I've always loved Kirstie Alley but was very disappointed.
