No ifs, ands, or butts about it: with the intense training for Dancing With the Stars, Kim Kardashian’s famous booty will get smaller. But the reality star assures men everywhere that there’s enough derriere to spare. “I’m sure my butt is going to shrink, but there’s so much of it, I’m not worried it’s going to go away,” Kim tells In Touch. The 27-year-old is exhausted from rehearsing for the September 22 premiere of the hit ABC show’s new season, but excited to put on her dancing shoes with partner Mark Ballas. “I want to dive into each theme and really become the character,” Kim says. And even though an August 24 run-in with a hotel coffee table resulted in a hospital stay for a cut foot — which had to be Dermabonded due to the long healing time required for sutures — Kim is keeping up with her practice sessions. “I’m going to wear heels tonight!” she promises. Kim and her dance partner, Mark, practiced their dance moves on August 20.
