They say it’s inevitable that the former Cheers star will be getting advice from Scientology on how to act and what to do in the house.
Tony Ortega, who runs one of the influential anti-Scientology blog The Underground Bunker, reveals that she could be getting tips from the leader David Miscavige, who’s best friends with its most famous member, actor Tom Cruise.
He said: "I think it's quite possible that she will get some instruction from David Miscavige about what he'd like to see her say or do on the show. And if she does try to recruit someone on the show, it will no doubt be a disaster – and perhaps a ratings coup.
"But this is Kirstie we're talking about, and so I wouldn't be all that surprised if she tried it."
In the past, Alley has launched a defence of the church and fell out with one of it’s mostly famous defectors, actress Leah Remini, who’s gone on to be an outspoken critic of the controversial religion.
She told The Howard Stern show: "First of all, I just want everyone to know I have hundreds of friends who have come into Scientology and left Scientology. You're not shunned, you're not chased. All that stuff's bulls***.
"When you're generalising and when your goal is to malign and to say things about an entire group… when you decide to blanket statement that Scientology is evil, you are my enemy."
But Ortega is hoping that Alley, who’s admitted in the past to a heavy cocaine addiction, will get a grilling from the other contestants, unlike staunch Scientologist singer Stacy Francis last year, who was let off the hook by housemates.
"Last year, Stacy Francis was on Celebrity Big Brother and she did make some news for talking about her involvement in Scientology. But it was the typical sort of celebrity Scientology moment. Stacy made some vague references to how it gave her tools for life and that it was misunderstood by the public.
"I would say there's a good chance something similar will happen during Kirstie's stay in the Big Brother house. Someone may bring it up and she'll give a speech about how the press has it all wrong and how helpful it has been in her life.
"Of course, we would all like to see her housemates ask her some real questions about Scientology, about the forced abortions, missing executives, extreme fundraising, and of course the nutty ideas of [founder] L. Ron Hubbard.
"But chances are, Kirstie won't be asked those questions, and she won't volunteer any real details.
"On the other hand, this is Kirstie Alley we're talking about, and as her Twitter account proves, she can be pretty unhinged. So who knows. Something actually interesting might happen.’
Tom Cruise’s former Scientology bodyguard Brendan Tighe recently claimed that Kirstie was flat broke and would often have to work for the church raising funds so that she earned commission. He also said that she’d regularly be hitting on the members, especially the Italian contingent, at the HQ, in Clearwater, Florida, called Flag.
Tighe said: "Kirstie Alley I met hundreds of times. I feel sorry for Kirstie on so many levels, it’s very apparent she’s done so many drugs, her brain is so scrambled.
"Whatever the current mess was in her life, she’d plaster it all over the place. She would have her latest crush, often an Italian, as they came to Flag a lot, so she would hang out with all the Italian Scientologists. She’d have wild parties, well, as wild as they get in Scientology, and blow lots of money. She spent so much money that she’d have to fundraise for the IAS [International Association of Scientologists] – she was doing it virtually full-time, getting ten per cent commission on any donation.
"Scientology saved her and it was like a safe haven for her. She’d go in and out of different modes. There was a big event and she decided to buy 200 designer dresses and give them Sea Org women so they had something nice to wear, even renting hotel rooms so they had somewhere to get dressed.
"Next, she’d flip and be eating a bag of popcorn down the hallway in baggy clothes trying to hide her weight. For her Flag was somewhere to hang out, she’d walk along in her bathrobe and slippers.
"She would go off her diet a lot, they would have hundreds of boxes of Jenny Craig [famous US diet brand] in the freezer when she was giving up on her diet and we’d have to get rid of the stuff. She’s very much into Scientology though, zero doubt in her mind."
