Alley, Kirstie – People magazine reports that the actress and former Dancing with the Stars contestant will promote 100 Days of Dance, a program that encourages people to lose weight by dancing “for 100 consecutive days.”  If you participate, please realize that this is not 100 days straight: you must take breaks, eat, and drink water, because doing nothing but dancing for 14 weeks will help you lose weight and also die.
