Dancing With The Stars' Maksim Chmerkovskiy Celebrates Birthday In The Ballroom

To celebrate his 32nd year of life on this planet, Dancing With The Stars pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy through a ballroom bash in New York City last Friday!

His dancing friends like Tony Dovolani and DWTS competitor Kirstie Alley (who looks fantastic) attended, while even The View's Sherri Shepherd came out to have a ball.

Other notables walking the red carpet at the Hammerstein Ballroom included Jersey Shore's Angelina (yeah, she's still around), Maksim's brother Val Chmerkovskiy, and ESPN reporter Erin Andrews.

Happy birthday, Maksim! Hope it was a good one!

How Will Kirstie Alley Keep Off The Weight In The New Year

We weren't sure how Kirstie Alley's plan to keep the weight off would differ from last year to this year, but somebody asked her the question anyway, and the answer surprised us a little!

After losing so much weight from Dancing With The Stars, we're sure it'd be a struggle for anyone to keep up the regiment without the show, but it's all about the effort. And she's going to put forth that effort by dancing for 100 days:

“My love is the Argentine Tango and I would love to go to Argentina in these 100 days. I’ve got to make [John] Travolta dance with me. Jonathan Knight is going to dance with me. I have a whole fleet of people who said they would dance with me, so I’m excited. People don’t have to do monotonous, zombie workouts that are boring. The thing about dancing is that it’s free and you can do it anywhere and any time… I want everyone to experience some version of ‘Dancing with the Stars.’”

That IS absolutely true, though! People don't have to do boring, monotonous workouts to stay fit. There are all kinds of fun activities out there!!

While we think it'll be tough for sure, we also have faith in you, Kirstie! We're so proud of how far you've come! No backsliding!

Kirstie Alley Still Dances To Keep Her Weight In Check

But won't get near a treadmill!

Kirstie Alley, who famously lost 100 pounds since competing on Dancing With The Stars, admits she loves to dance to keep the weight off, but using treadmill would make her slit her throat!

At Tuesday night's finale of the ABC reality competition show she told sources that she dances "almost every day", explaining:

"[DWTS] gave me something I can do every day that I actually love that doesn't feel like a hardship or a grind. Come on, getting on a treadmill every day would make me slit my throat."

If that's the case, we're glad she's found a replacement for the cardio machine. Ha!

The 60-year-old actress shared that after losing weight, "maintenance probably is the hardest part."

Luckily, she still remembers what her dancing partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, taught her during her stint on the show last Spring.

"To warm up, I do the cha cha that Maks and I did," she says. She also regularly attends a ballroom fitness class which "kicks your ass, it's crazy."

Keep it up, gurl! You look fantabulousss!

That's Not Very Healthy, Kirstie!

Kirstie!

That's not very healthy! We thought you were back on the right path!

We know it's extremely hard to stay on course, but we know you can do it — you need to get back into the swing of eating healthier and quit that smoking!

Kirstie Alley was spotted out and about in El Lay… smoking! Not cool!

You can do it!
