This story is from The National Enquirer, which regularly uses Kirstie Alley’s twitter feed for leads on ways to hilariously mock her in their deadpan journalistic-sounding style. (I love them so much.) So at first I assumed that’s how they came up with this story, and that Kirstie’s crush on Bradley Cooper is similar to the way she was cyber drooling all over Jamie Foxx. I searched her Twitter feed, though, and couldn’t find anything on Cooper there. So if she didn’t tweet about Cooper at all, that shows me that this story is probably true. It’s so random it must be. Plus Kirstie is delusional enough about her size and sex appeal to actually do this. She supposedly is “desperate for a date” with Bradley Cooper and thinks “she can have any man in Hollywood.” She’s trying to get mutual friends to set her up with him. Mwahahah!
The 60 year-old former “Fat Actress” – who has dropped an astonishing 100 pounds in the past several months – has been asking mutual friends to set her up with [Bradley Cooper], who is 36. But her cougar crush isn’t likely to work out, say sources, because the handsome actor is “just not that into her.”
“Kirstie has been desperate for a date with Bradley,” an insider revealed.
“Since dropping the pounds, Kirstie believes she can have any man in Hollywood – and Bradley is her number one pick.
“They have mutual friends, and Kirstie told them she wanted to meet Bradley. She thinks once he gets to know her, the feelings will be mutual.
“Bradley is just about to start production on a new movie that shoots in Philadelphia. Now Kirstie is telling pals that she has some business to do in Philadelphia and that she hopes Brad will find time to have a coffee with her…”
Bradley’s not really interested! “Bradley is looking to meet somebody to settle down with an start a family,” added the insider.
And that’s not Kirstie!

Again, I totally believe this! Kirstie was married to Parker Stevenson, so she might have a “metrosexual, bland, possibly not straight” type. I also love how the Enquirer is so understated about the fact that Kirstie doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell. This story just amused the heck out of me.
Kirstie is shown out in candids in September. She’s shown in the header in July. Bradley Cooper is also shown in July. Credit: Pacific Coast News and WENN.com
It would be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic!
Just too hilarious. LMAO.
Bwahaahaaa!
Kirstie looks fabulous in those bottom photos. She may actually be a Size 8. (Although she would claim she were a 4)
Well you know, now that she is a size 4 (maybe even a size 2 by now, what with the speed at which she claims she is shrinking), she is hot stuff. I bet she wants to be the next Demi Moore and she is looking for a young douche-bag.
Well she better tell them to hurry the hell up before she gains all her weight back.
@Celebitchy: so love your analysis into this story….searching Kirstie Twitter pages for anything on Cooper….those National Enquirer folks is a hoot
She would squish his weeny self like a grape.
I believe that May-December romances can and do happen, but putting friends in the awkward position of setting you up with someone young enough to be your child (regardless of gender) is creepy, especially if the person has expressed that they are not interested.
Kristie – get a grip on reality. That purple dress makes you look HUGH as does that denim jacket. At least you look better in the black outfit – but please, get a haircut and toss those awful sunglasses in the trash.
I just dont know what to tell you any more – you need to get in touch with your inner self and accept your age and experience. There are men in your age group who would probably love to spend time with you since you have a wonderful sense of humor.
Stop trying to be something you are not – a teenager or twenty-something leggy blonde.
He’s GAY for crying out loud!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! I didn’t even read the story! omg LMAO
It seems Kirstie would be willing to be his beard. That would be interesting to see.
I don’t think she’s his type. Wasn’t he dating J Lo
Brad Cooper is asking friends to shoot him in the face.
Well, I keep asking my friends to set me up with George Clooney
I wish my friends would set me up with Robert Downey Jr.
Yes, I’m married and yes I know he is.
Its a fantasy. Im entitled.
I would say her chances are the same as mine: nil!
Oh really Kirstie?? Didn’t know you liked to beard because dude is GAY!
If she has a chance with Bradley Cooper, all of us could have it too!!
Bradley’s photo = deer stuck in headlights with terror in eyes
Sounds about right.
LOL!
It’s like she thinks that because she’s a normal weight again, the last twenty years didn’t happen. I really think her self-image has reset to 1990.
Nope, dont believe it – if she said it, she was just trying to get people to do what they are doing now – keeping her in the news. But….could be she just needs a new gay “Bestie”. I love Kirstie – she is way too funny!!
Is he a $cieno too?
This is absurd…come back to Earth, Kirstie. You seem so desperate for attention that it’s a turnoff. Let someone show an interest in you for a change.
HAHAHAH! I don’t care if the N. Enquirer story is BS, I love the thought of Kirstie Alley desperate to beard the Coop!
No Kristi no. Just find an old rich dude in your age group and be happy that you are looking good.
Bitch please!
Smells like desperation to me…..trying to stay in the rags Kirsty?
He’s gay so she thinks he could always use a new beard and she could use free publicity.
Her hair always looks disgusting. Her part could rival Britney’s.
Run Bradley, Run!
Oh Why Not.
She looks like Fergie’s sister, or mother.
Hehehehehehe.
That’s funny enough to last me all night.
On another note… where’s her arm in the pic with the purple dress?? Is it inside caressing her own boob?
Perhaps she’s trying to rescue him with Scientology, where all closeted messes go. See also Travolta, Cruise, etc, etc
LMAO! In my SATC Samantha voice, “No man wants to f@ck grandma’s pussy!”
If this story is true she really isn’t living in reality! However, I have to say, she looks great for being 60. I’m sure she could meet a nice 50 or 60 something man who would be really into her and treat her well. I like Kirstie-I think she’s funny. It’s interesting to me that after all of these years she’s still in the public eye-girlfriend knows how to put it out there(:
P.S. I know it will never happen, but wouldn’t it be entertaining if they actually did end up dating?
lol, poor girl. Isn´t she like 60?
@jenn OMG she DOES look like Fergie. She is a bit softer and prettier, though.
Well – she’s crazy, but she does look amazing for sixty.
She wishes!
Why is it necessary for her to get with a younger man to feel attractive or sexy. I don’t get it. anymore than a guy needing a younger woman to feel young. At some point it evens out and just looks pathetic. Find a guy your own age or a bit older/younger.. Enjoy your life. She is doing what too many women do when they loose weight. You are still the same person just in a smaller package.
Tired of her and Jennifer Hudson and a few more making it all about their weight. Bravo and super great that they lost the weight. Now move on and live a healthy life.
WELL…..if he wasn’t gay before, he is NOW!
Regarding the pics: The first one of Kirstie in the purple dress: flattering color but the fit around the belly is unfortunate. The second pic: LOVE the denim trench!
Regarding this story: I can believe it’s true but if Kirstie thinks she can get “ANY MAN” in HW, she’s delusional. I mean, did you see how sexy Cooper was in the first Hangover? Kirstie’s not even worthy to date Bradley’s perfectly coiffed hairdo, IMO.
Why does she always look like she just smelled something bad?
She looks great for 60, I think…but not Demi Moore great. She’s super delusional.
She’s a delusional old woman.
I think that purple dress started out as a designer sling for celebrities with broken arms and then the designer said ‘what the hell’ let’s make it a dress as well – how ubiquitous..!!
I always remember her accepting an Emmy twenty some years ago when she was still married to Parker Stevenson and she said to him “thanks for giving me the big one”….kinda says it all doesn’t it….
She actually looks good in that all black outfit. Certainly not a size 8, but perhaps a 12-14? And her hair! For once it looks like she actually brushed it. I am envious of her locks (when she manages to style it). Hopefully she doesn’t have extensions.
And Bradley Cooper? I don’t think he wants a cougar, or a Scientology nut at that.
Is he really gay? What proof do you guys have? Oh and I’m not asking in a nasty snarky way, I’m curious cause I did not know he was if he is:-0)
Well, if those purple glasses he’s wearing are beer goggles, she might have a chance!
My 68 yearo old mother is sexier than Kirstie. Why is KA so full of herself?
