Start placing your bets: Round two of Kirstie Alley v. George Lopez has begun! As you know, earlier this week, the TBS late-night host compared Alley to a dancing pig. Alley, naturally, fired back via Twitter, writing, “Just remember what happens to the big bad, drunk woolf …falls in a boiling pot of vodka. Piggy laughs.” He quickly tweeted an apology saying he “misjudged the joke,” but the damage had already been done. But wait! There’s more! Instead of letting bygones be bygones, Alley tweeted at Lopez that she didn’t need or want his apology. “I want your kidney dude..on behalf of ur X and all the women uv insulted…give it back.” (Alley was referring to Lopez’s ex-wife, who famously donated a kidney to her then-ailing husband. Harsh!) She later tweeted that “I want ur Kidney dude” will replace “here’s your ring back!” Is it just me, or will that one not pick up steam?
I’m all for drama on the dance floor. (I give it a Len Goodman seh-ven!) But will Alley’s drama outside of the ballroom help or hurt her DWTS chances? Fans tend to love the bigger-than-life personalities on the show, but could this venom-laced back-and-forth just make the charming frontrunner look… catty? Then again, she didn’t break a window, so maybe fans will just chalk it up to celebrities being celebrities. After all, it looks like this feud is coming to an end: In what appears to be Alley’s final tweet on the matter, the Dancing star wrote, “take life as lightly as u can and then move on …even u George ….u are forgiven…..:)….”
What do you think about the feud? Does it make you love Alley more for standing up for herself? Or do you think her replies to Lopez were just as insensitive? Sound off in the comments below.

George Lopez to Kirstie Alley: Sorry!
‘Dancing With the Stars’: Ralph Macchio and Kirstie Alley are the show at its best
HE HAD IT COMING. IF YOU DISH IT MAN UP AND TAKE IT. BY THE WAY THAT WAS NOT HUMOR IT WAS GEORGE BEING A BULLY!!!!!!!!
Kirstey called her self a PIG on her reality show “Fat Actress.” Now she’s whining because somebody else said it? Please. She’s just looking for publicity. She wants the fat people to feel victimized and vote for her.
Susan you’re a dipshiit!
George “started it” and Kirstie will finish it! She may have made “fun” of herself but he wasn’t, he was only attempting to seek ratings by hitting a fan favorite below the belt… and sadly, it worked… he has traded temp attention for a world of hate and deserves all the shiit that follows.
Seriously? Because she said it about herself it’s okay for someone else to say it? Is it okay for another person to discipline your kid too?
Ricky Gervais is a million times more meaner than George. I Love George.
I believe that it is okay to make fun of yourself, but it is not okay to make fun of others. It reference to the “pig” statement, it is thus fair of Kirstie to say it herself, but not for others. She should’ve left it at that.
I’m going to call attention to controversial and demeaning word, the one recently edited from a historical body of literature, that some dudes, who think they are the bomb, call each other because they think it enhances their bomb-ness. But if you call them this same word, you’re racist. So Susan, your argument is irrelevant.
Just wanted to point out, Fat Actress was not a reality show. Kirstie played a comedic version of herself in much the same way Jerry Seinfeld or Larry David did. It was a scripted sitcom, centering around a fictionalized version of Kirstie Alley’s life.
Comedy, your name is a joke. Ricky Gervais may be meaner than Lopez, but at least he’s funny and on point sometimes. Lopez would never do a Tourist joke in the hopes that Johnny or Angelina would come on his show.
Careful Susan. All the fat pigs will pick on you now.
Alley should have taken the high road. EVERYONE thought Lopez was wrong. But now, Alley has decided to wallow in the mud with Lopez. They both lose.
wallow in the mud….lol!!!!
LOL wallow in the mud. Good one!!
She IS a fat pig. If she wants the media attention participating on a national show, she has to take the media scrutiny that comes with it too.
I don’t think this will hurt her chances as much as being 100lbs overweight will.
I hope her weight doesn’t hurt Kirstie as much as your limited IQ has hurt you.
I do quite well thank you. How does my prediction that someone with a weight problem will fail at a very physical activity lead you to believe I have a “limited IQ”?
Gee, dave…how are things up there in your world of perfection? Judge much? Did you watch Kyle Massey in the last DWTS? Not a skinny man, yet he still made it to the finals. Oh, wait, maybe that was the issue…an overweight MAN should be encouraged, laughed at (Sam Kinison, John Goodman, Kevin James, etc.) but an overweight WOMAN? Well, she is just a fat, pig loser, right dave? What a tool you are…
Kristie moved beautifully on the dance floor. Lopez was a jerk and now Kristie needs to let it lay and move on.
Shut up! She is doing well for a woman her size. Better than some of the other skinny chicks. George always makes fun of people but his comedy sucks a**!!!
wow @ melissa “more meaner” eh? LOL At least Ricky Gervais is witty and intelligent; George Lopez is a has-been (oh wait make that a never-was) hack.
Kirstie Alley is a pig c|_|nt!!!!
Do you talk to your mother with that mouth?
Stop yelling Karen, you disgusting cow.
what you see is what you get…i like that in a person. I am sick of these facking people
If anything, it helps her, because it will fire up people that are on her side but that might not have otherwise had DWTS on their radar.
iT WILL FIRE HER FANS UP AND THEN SHE CAN GO HOME AND HAVE ONE OF HER SERVANTS FIRE UP THE GRILL, WHAT A FAT PIG!
Damn! She went for the kidney! Stay down George and wait for the ten count.
@ John
Lol that’s funny
Love Kristie Alley. Say what you want about her but a) She is a beautiful woman. b) She is VERY talented in everything she does, c) Has a great disposition.
So what if she has a few pounds. A person can always lose weight. Lopez on the other hand is like Calvin Klein Eternity. Because he’s ugly. Forever.
Ugly or not … he’s an idiot forever.
@Brett
I totally agree with you
YES Kirstie has such a pretty face, in fact she’s got several of them!
I had a liver transplant in 2001….What Alley said was wrong and people should be upset….It was a bad joke and George did say he was sorry for it and she should have accepted his appolgy….what she said was very out of line
Shut up Dirk.
Relax and have a drink.
Nice!
Let’s see 30 min on the Elyptical while maintaining the aprprpoiate HRfull body lifting routine unless I see something more interesting to do.Ending with 100 body squats I love it when I it’s difficult to sit downTotal 60 minute w/o I’ll report back tonight when I’m done. Thanks Joe I love this sight and your motivation and inspiration!!!
Yeah, it’s wrong to call someone fat, but OK to make fun of a kidney transplant? And Kirstey called George a drunk, but she was a coke addict. Hmm…glass houses. They both need to let it go.
Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.
Yeah… Kirstie should have just taken the “high” road.
What does your liver have to do with George’s WIFE’S kidney?
Her comments to George were meant to imply “Hey George, how about giving that kidney that your X wife donated to save your life back to her since you are a lowlife drunk”. That’s why she left him, because he was drinking and abusing his body, after she could have died donating a kidney to him. Read her comments again to George and you might “get” what she is saying.
I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. Thank goodness!I never watch DWTS, but chaugt Ralph completely by accident I’m hooked for the season for him. I also did not realize he is 49 I could have sworn he was younger than me! (Looks it, but that’s another matter.)Go Ralph and Kirstie! Go Sugar! Go me!
Kirsty=funny lady.
Georgie=not funny.cancel show.
stu – that’s the best thing written on this board…thank you!!
Good for Kirstie for pointing out what a douche Lopez is. If he can`t stand having his own dirty laundry aired he should never have insulted Kirstie Alley, everyone knows she isn`t afraid to stand up for herself and fire back. Reap what you sow.
Looks like she needs the Massengil more.
Lopez has never been funny and his digs at Alley proves my point. He’s the pig not her.
Hurt her?!? By being bullied by Lopez, she’s gained the sympathy of people who didn’t care a bit about her before. It will help her.
george lopez is at best a raceist and I can’t find the words to describe how he treated his wife after she saved his life. He’s a real turd and I hope there’s a place in hell for him.
Kirstie,when a person of such low class and intelligence gets on you just turn your back and ignore him. See if he has the guts to dance. Bet he doesn’t
George is a comedian, he made a joke. Kirstie made a joke back. Stop trying to make mountains out of molehills, and everyone can go back to being friends. It’s just showbiz after all…!
That kind of comedy isn’t funny, it’s hurtful. And it isn’t just hurtful to Kirstie-it’s hurtful to other people who are over weight and struggling to get or stay normal
Trading insults are never funny.
You have too many L’s in your name, you extraneous ho!
George Lopez has never been funny. Why does he get work? Because he’s Hispanic? Kirstie does have a weight problem. Watching an overweight person dance is a bit odd. But that is no reason to be rude and call her a “Pig”. Lopez is a hack and always has been a hack.
“Watching an overweight person dance is a bit odd.” Um, welcome to America??
I’m not sure Danny knows what odd means.
do u know how many overweight people hide in thier houses,are afraid to go out an try to do what everybody eles in he world has the right to do. because they r stared at, mocked, ridiculed as odd. if u knew the heartache u would cheer them on.it is the only acceptable discrimination.
thats what happens when you self medicate with food. Put the burger down and slowly step away..
I’m with Dirk; I donated a kidney to save a family friend. Alley with her ignorance and cruelty called for his death with the kidney comment.
I don’t think she called for his death. She was pointing out that his wife gave him a kidney and saved his life, and he repaid her by dumping and divorcing her. Now that’s a POS.
I agree. George Lopez didnt ask for his illness, and has gone through extremely tough times fighting to stay alive. Kirstie on the other hand chooses to eat herself to an early grave.
I tend to see fat people for what they are; greedy selfish destroyers of life and the planet. EAT UP KIRSTIE, MAKE SURE TO HAVE PLENTY OF GREASE!
Speaking of ShowBiz, they can make lemonade out of lemons by having George Lopez demonstrate his dancing chops versus Kirstie’s on his show. George will get a lesson in humility, his ratings will go up, and he’ll have a learned a valuable lesson; “No publicity is bad publicity!”
