Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Kirstie Alley, the fiesty duo who had an always entertaining partnership on season 12 of Dancing With the Stars, have now been teamed up again on the upcoming season of DWTS: All-Stars.
Cheryl Burke will be back together with her season three champion partner, football great Emmitt Smith. Other pairs will include: Joey Fatone and Kym Johnson (season 4), Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas (season 11) and Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani (season 8). Drew Lachey and Gilles Marini (who had both been partnered in the past with Cheryl) will now paso doble with Anna Trebunskaya and (reigning champ and Max’s real-life girlfriend) Peta Murgatroyd. Pamela Anderson and Tristan MacManus, Helio Castroneves and Chelsie Hightower, Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy, Shawn Johnson and Derek Hough, and Apolo Anton Ohno and Karina Smirnoff round out the other pairs.
There will be one final pair that won’t be revealed until August 27 after fans vote over whether they want Sabrina Bryan, Carson Kressley or Kyle Massey to return to the dance floor.
