Now that she got her weight under control at last, Kirstie Alley says she feels like a new woman. She’s ready to date and love again and, according to a new report, she knows just the man she wants next: Bradley Cooper.

The National Enquirer (story via here) says that it has it on very good authority that Kirstie is so smitten with Bradley that she’s literally beginning friends, mutual friends, to get her on a date with him.

Since she believes she could land any man now that she has a killer figure once more, she doesn’t see how Bradley could actually resist her, the report says.

“Kirstie has been desperate for a date with Bradley. Since dropping the pounds, Kirstie believes she can have any man in Hollywood – and Bradley is her number one pick,” an unnamed but admittedly reliable insider says for the latest print issue of the publication.

So, to get to him, Kirstie is pulling all the ropes – and she’s confident she will get her dream date one day.

“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,” the insider explains.

The actress has even come up with a plan to meet Bradley accidentally on purpose, as the saying goes.

“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…” the tipster dishes.

There’s only one problem, though, the spy continues: Kirstie is not Bradley’s type and, believe it or not, the age gap (she’s 60, he’s 36) has nothing to do with it.

“Bradley is looking to meet somebody to settle down with an start a family,” the insider explains. So, fat chance for the romance to happen.
