Kirstie Alley break-down on DWTS

Kirstie Alley is beginning to feel the strain.

The former Cheers star apparently broke down in tears while rehearsing with her her Dancing With the Stars partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

Kirstie broke down when Maksim told her to “stop talking” during Monday’s episode of Dancing With the Stars.

“I need a break!” Alley wailed. “You scream and jump around and I’m frustrated.”

According to Chmerkovskiy, 31, Alley has what it takes to win the competition she just needs a little help getting there. “I don’t care about her physical shape because I know she can do it,” he explained.

“Maks puts a lot of pressure and expectations on me. I think that’s why I like him, so I have to take it up a notch,” Alley added. “I have hugely high standards for myself and so does Maks, so when I think we’ve pushed ourselves as hard as we can push, we push harder.”

Sources recently revealed that Alley will profit the most from her experience on Dancing With the Stars.

“The weight loss business is worth hundreds of millions of dollars,” a source told the PopEater website.

“She has already lost 70 lbs dancing and hasn’t wasted one minute to capitalize on it.

“Kirstie is no fool. She used her over 800,000 Twitter followers to make sure they tuned in and bought her product and has no plans of stopping any time soon.

“She’s creating a brand of product that can be sold around the world 24/7.

“It’s like what Joan Rivers did with her jewelry collection.”
