Video: Kirstie Alley and Maksim Kiss Passionately on DWTS!
Kissy, kissy, Kirstie!
The most talked-part of Kirstie Alley's second Dancing with the Stars routine with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy might not be part of the choreography.

At the conclusion of the duo's quick step routine during Monday's show, Chmerkovskiy clutched Alley, 60, for a deep dip -- and they both leaned in for a wet kiss!
After the routine, Alley told host Brooke Burke that the lip-lock wasn't planned. "It was spotaneous," the actress confessed, giggling. "I wasn't gonna do it!"

The on-the-fly PDA worked for the judges. "The connection between you and Maks? That was unstoppable!" Carrie Ann Inaba gushed of the couple. "You are so in your element! I love watching you dance. It was faaaabulous"
But in rehearsals, Alley struggled with an old foe: Her weight. "I've never been confident with where I am [no matter how much or little I weighed,]" she admitted as she she fought to master the quick choreography. "You have to find a [weight] where [you feel], 'This is good.' I don't want to be dead when I do that!"

(Alley says she currently has about 40 pounds left to lose, and is dropping about 5 per week thanks to her sweaty DWTS work.)
She even asked Chmerkovskiy whether "skinny girls" encounter the same difficulty mastering the steps.
"Don't worry about your weight," judge Bruno Tonioli urged the star after her dance. "You have talent. [Just] be yourself!"
The duo nabbed a respectable 20 points for the night.
Tell Us: Do you think they have good chemistry?
Tell Us What You Think
22Im an attractive 48 yr old woman recently "pursued" by a lovestruck 31 yr old male. I laffed it off, pretended it was just a mutual joke and finally, when I could ignore no longer, I cornered him and said, "what are you thinking?" Why aren't you after the pretty little 28 yr old in the next office?" He responded, "you excite me, she bores me. You're interesting, I love to hear you talk, I can debate even argue with you, intelligently and it's good fun She bores me. Most girls my age bore me because they're so superficial. They'd rather play games, it's all about sex with them and believe it or not, I DO enjoy othe things. With you, I can see the whole house, not just the bedroom. I want to hang out with you because you're the coolest chick I've ever known, I wanna be your lover and your best friend. I just wanna hang out with you for the rest of my life...What's so wrong with that?" I was stunned. I started to tell him, "look,you're cute as hell and if I was 20 yrs younger", when he interrupted me and said, "if you were 20 yrs younger, we wouldn't be having this conversation. It's all the you became over those 20 years that made you someone I'm crazy about. This isn't about age, or our friends or coworkers, it's about us and no one else. You in or not?" So, I can see Maks falling for someone like Kirstie. Is it really possible that it's genuine? Damn straight. I'm rooting for them in EVERY respect, they BOTH deserve to be happy. I hope they win and live happily ever after (together).
What I would give to be in Kirstie's shoes this season dancing with Maks. I have a crush on Maks and I'm 68.
They are really good dancers. I really like Maksim. I am very impressed w/ Kirstie. It doesn't matter if you're skinny.
Yes, I think they have chemistry. Remember, she's an actress and he's a pro! And even if they didn't have chemistry, I don't think anyone would notice.
Some men like cougars. Don't hate the player, hate the game. :P
Are u people serious? You actually think that Kirstie Alley and Maks make a good couple? OK.. Maks can only get a woman in her 60s? Maks.. the Maks I've been following for years.. riight.
I hope I can look and move that good when I am 60! Kristie is hot! And I think girls with curves and little extra weight actually look better dancing because there is more to shake and Kristie proves that.
wow...Maks' lips are truly a cougar's dream come true!!
MY GOD, SHE'S OLD ENOUGH TO BE HIS MOTHER!!!!!!!!!
Go Kirstie! love it!
I love Kirstie, always have, and she is one hot 60 yr old. I do believe it was part of the choreography though. Go Kirstie you are kickin a$$ this year!
YAY! I love Kirstie Alley, she's so down to earth, what a great show.
Lots of chemistry...they are entertainers...just b/c they kissed doesn't mean they are romantically involved. You can have chemistry and not be involved...though I hope they are...she is the ULTIMATE cougar!!! Rrrroooarrr!!!
Ugh I love Maks!
i think they are adorable together. i love them, and with kirstie, for some reason maks is hotter!!!! no idea why!!! but he is.
Maks and Kirstie see have fun together, but for people to imply an intimate relationship is crazy...Maks already has a Mother. He had off the charts chemistry with Brandy,but no one talked about that. I wonder why...SMH
anyone who think maks is attracted to her is completely nuts. kirstie is old enough to be his mother and then some!
They actually make a great couple. Their chemistry is great and he has never looked happier! She can sure move, weight or no weight, and that's not easy with extra weight. She's a beautiful, sexy woman...always!
Kirstie is a very sexy woman.
Yes, I think Kirstie an Maks have chemistry because I don't think Kirstie would have it any other way! A great dance pairing!
