Kirstie Alley Kills It on 'Dancing'
Glittering star Kirstie Alley and former "Karate Kid" Ralph Macchio came out on top in Monday night's premiere of "Dancing with the Stars," with Kirstie earning 23 points, right on the dancing heels of Ralph, who earned 24.
Alley even got some extra support from pal Kelly Preston, who "confiscated" Kirstie's Twitter to urge fans to vote for her. Preston told "Extra" she voted eleven times for Kirstie!
Macchio, paired with professional dancer Karina Smirnoff, delivered a graceful fox trot that put him in the lead from the jump. "That was just an amazing surprise," judge Carrie Ann Inaba exclaimed.
Kendra Wilkinson looked like a dancing pro in a skimpy blue ensemble, dancing a cha-cha that garnered 18 points.
The two low-ranking performers of the night included Wendy Williams and Mike Catherwood. Talk show host Williams received 14 points due to her "timid" performance that didn't display enough personality, said the judges.
Rounding out the low scorers was "Psycho" Mike Catherwood, who snagged 13 points for his "uncoordinated" dance that made him look "constipated."
