Short Takes : Kirstie Alley Wants to Know

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Kirstie Alley says she’s willing to pay the supermarket tabloids for the names of people who leak information to the reporters of Tinseltown.

“Those sleazeballs who write this crap are so slimy they’ll gladly inform on their informants for money,” the star of “Cheers” and the new movie “Sibling Rivalry” said in Sunday’s The Tennessean.

“I’m about to get a list of the people at Paramount who are feeding them stuff. I’ll make sure they won’t work there again. No way will I dignify those people by suing them,” she said. “I try to ignore everything, hoping people will realize what total lies they are telling.”
