    AceShowbiz – Kirstie Alley is one of outspoken Donald Trump supporters, so it won’t be surprising to know that she’s not a fan of CNN. Still, the former “Cheers” star took to Twitter to further make public her sentiment towards the liberal network with a condemning tweet on Friday, October 30.
    Criticizing the network over its constant fearmonger, Kirstie wrote on the blue bird app, “I now Know why my personal friends who walk around in SHEER TERROR of contracting Covid are simply CNN viewers!” She went on to say, “I decided to watch CNN myself to get a their viewpoint and oh my God DID I EVER!!!! IF YOU TOO WANT TO LIVE IN TERROR WATCH CNN!! FEAR OF DYING IS THEIR MANTRA! OMG.”
    It didn’t take long for CNN to catch wind of the tweet. The network decided to hit back at the actress with a more personal jab in its response. Replying to Kirstie’s tweet, CNN said, “Kirstie, you are welcome to change the channel – just like countless viewers did every time ‘Veronica’s Closet’ came on TV,” referring to the NBC sitcom starring Kirstie as Veronica Chase. “But don’t downplay the loss of nearly 230K American lives. And please, wear a mask.”

    In response to CNN’s vicious clapback, NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck wrote, “This is some grade-A juvenile stuff here, CNN. But this is also very on-brand of you. No class. No ethics. It’s all a game.” Another user added, “That washed up actress, Kirstie Alley went after CNN. It did not go the way she’d hoped.”

    Kirstie Alley and CNN were feuding on Twitter.
    However, some others jumped to Kirstie’s defense, calling out CNN for being unprofessional. “Unprofessionalism at its finest! Continuing to show your true colors CNN,” one said. Meanwhile, another reply read, “Here’s something I did not know: Veronica’s Closet was the #3 rated show in 1998 — pulling in 24 million viewers every episode. Which is what, more than the entire CNN prime time lineup pulls every week?”
    Earlier this month, Kirstie received huge backlash after declaring her support to Donald. Calling out the haters, the 69-year-old tweeted, “Don’t think I’ve ever seen so much name-calling in my life. Definitely not on my site here anyway I guess I’m not allowed to have a viewpoint without being called a really nasty names by what I’m going to suppose are really nasty people.”

      AceShowbiz – Kirstie Alley has weighed in on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ decision to add representation and inclusion to one of the standards for a movie to be eligible for Best Picture category. Taking to her Twitter account on Monday, September 8, the actress publicly disagreed with it.
      “This is a disgrace to artists everywhere…,” the 69-year-old actress wrote on the blue bird app. “can you imagine telling Picasso what had to be in his f**king paintings.”
      She went on saying, “You people have lost your minds. Control artists, control individual thought .. OSCAR ORWELL.” Echoing the sentiment was James Woods who simply said, “Madness.” Dean Cain appeared to be on the same page as he retweeted the tweet.
      Their responses come after the Academy announced earlier in the day that it updated standards for Best Picture. It was said that as part of its Academy Aperture 2025 initiative, films have to meet two of the following four standards to be eligible to win the Oscar for Best Picture.
      The four standards include on-screen representation, themes, and narratives, creative leadership and project team and industry access and opportunities. The last one is audience development.
      Calling it a “catalyst for lasting change”, the Academy revealed in an Instagram post the new regulation is “to encourage equitable representation on and off screen in order to better reflect the diversity of the movie-going audience.” It continued, “Our new representation and inclusion standards will help ensure that Best Picture nominees reflect the diverse world around us.”

      The requirement, which is a response to the #OscarsSoWhite controversy in 2016, is scheduled to take full effect at the 96th Oscars in 2024. Meanwhile, the 2021 Oscars will take place on April 25, 2021 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
