KIRK COSTUME FORCES JASON ALEXANDER INTO CRASH DIET

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- A cramped Captain Kirk costume has forced "Seinfeld" star Jason Alexander to go on a crash diet. "TV Guide" reports that Alexander decided it was time to shed some pounds after he had to squeeze himself into a Captain Kirk costume for an upcoming UPN "Star Trek" special. When jumbo Jason put on the skintight costume, he says he "never looked worse" and has been on a crash diet ever since. You won't see the slimmer Alexander for sometime though, because he wears a fat suit for his role as Boris Badenov in the upcoming "Rocky And Bullwinkle" live action film.
