The new season of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" has two well-documented 800 pound gorillas: Maksim Chmerkovskiy, the most argumentative and mouthy of all the pro dancers, and Kirstie Alley, no shy Petunia herself.
The former Showtime "Fat Actress" star has waged a public battle with weight loss, being the main spokesperson for Jenny Craig, only to regain the weight lost, and be let go of her contract for the sin of it.
Last season, Maksim Chmerkovskiy had words and a tense back-and-forth with Carrie Ann Inaba over his scores with dance partner Brandy Norwood.
Now his season 12 partner is Kirstie Alley, who is putting her all into dance practice and making Maks a happy camper, according to People.
"I'm ready to choke myself out!!! Everyone tells me I have more energy than they've ever seen... DANCE with Maks and I'm like a heroin addict" - Kirstie Tweeted.
Maks returned the Tweet with a rare early huzzah for his partner: "[Kirstie] is trying really hard to impress me! I must admit.........I'm impressed!" he Tweeted.
