LOS ANGELES — Kirstie Alley and "Dancing With the Stars" partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy have taken a tumble in the ballroom during the live performance show.
Just seconds into their rumba routine to "Over the Rainbow" on Monday, Chmerkovskiy fell to the floor, taking the 60-year-old actress down with him.
A limping, apologetic Chmerkovskiy later told the judges that his thigh "just gave out."
After a few moments the pair recovered and went on to earn the praise of the judges and a score of 21 -- one point higher than their score for last week's quickstep.
Judge Carrie Ann Inaba says, "Sometimes tragedy leads to amazingly beautiful moments."
KATIE Holmes is desperately hoping that people tune in to her new TV show The Kennedys — the miniseries that airs Sundays on ReelzChannel.
In the show — which was scrapped by The History Channel in January — Holmes plays Jackie Kennedy opposite Greg Kinnear as JFK.
And the actress — who’s married to Tom Cruise – is keen for the project to be a success.
During a recent interview, Hows described the eight-part miniseries as “like a Greek tragedy” and said she admired Jackie’s devotion as a mother.
“I hope people find it and watch it,” Holmes said.
The show premiered this past weekend.
Meanwhile, Katie has revealed how she was left shocked when her daughter accidentally picked up some penis-shaped candy.
The actress was recently pictured treating Suri, three, to a trip to an ice cream parlor, where the little girl was seen grasping the rude candy, and insists she thought they were a type of US confectionery called Swedish Fish.
“Recently, I took her to get ice cream in New York at this place called Serendipity that we go to all the time. It’s for kids,” Katie said.
However, the brunette beauty was horrified when she realized her tot was holding a comedy packet of sweets shaped like male genitalia.
Spelling out the word, an embarrassed Katie said, “P-e-n-i-s gummies. I said, ‘Oh wow those aren’t Swedish Fish!’
“They are called p-e-n-i-s gummies and they look like it. She was holding the box and I was like, ‘OK, wow, we don’t need that right now.’ “
The former Dawson’s Creek star was then left with a dilemma with how to take the offensive sweets away from Suri in case she asked what they were.
“I thought if I said, ‘Put that back!’ then she’s going to say, ‘What is this?’ and I really didn’t want to have that conversation,” she said.
The 32-year-old actress is still surprised a family-orientated establishment would sell such a lewd product.
“I was like, ‘Why are they selling these here? This is for kids’,” she said.
