14 DAY TRIAL // One of the surprise contestants on the latest season of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars is 60-year-old actress Kirstie Alley. Just in case anyone had doubts about her determination to win it, partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy is tweeting up a storm to prove the contrary.
Alley has been partnered with Maksim and, though some obstacles have come up along the way and they’re working really hard in rehearsals, it would seem they’re doing just fine.
The brand new season of the show premieres on March 21, which means Kirstie and Maksim don’t really have that much time to get their routines by heart.
“She is trying really hard to impress me! I must admit.........I’m impressed!” Maksim tweeted of his dance partner.
Not only is Kirstie doing her best to get the routines done, but she’s also lots of fun. “Having an absolute blast at rehearsals, so far,” Maksim added.
This is confirmed by the actress herself, who’s also taken to her Twitter to let fans know how rehearsals are working.
“Getting stronger and stronger every day... and feeling more and more alive... this dancing is good for the soul,” the star tweeted some hours ago.
She then added lots of nice words about her partner, who is just as much fun in person as he appears to be on television, Kirstie assures fans.
“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,” she writes.
“Maks and I get along like butter and sugar.... We’re cookie dough...hehe,” Kirstie jokes.
Ever since the official cast was announced, Kirstie has been talking to the media about her expectations from the show. First of all, she wants to win it (understandably); secondly, she aims for some weight loss.
The actress says she’s already dropped 60 pounds on her own weight loss program, and she’s hoping she can lose some 40 pounds more with dancing. It seems she’s already on the right path, judging by her tweets.
