"Kirstie Alley has described her Dancing with the Stars partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy as a &amp;quot;special guy&amp;quot;. The actress, who has reunited with her season 12 pro for the current all-star episodes, joked that ABC needed more scenes of the duo together.  &amp;quot;ABC just needs more footage because there&amp;#039;s not enough footage of us for the next 10,000 years,&amp;quot; she quipped in an interview with People. Alley, who revealed that a chapter in her upcoming memoir is devoted to Chmerkovskiy, added that she is going to work hard on the all-star season. &amp;quot;We feel like a bit of the underdogs of dancers, but if we have more weeks, we are changing this, and I will be freakin&amp;#039; spectacular,&amp;quot; she joked. Chmerkovskiy&amp;#039;s girlfriend Peta Murgatroyd - who is competing in the show with actor Gilles Marini - recently said that she has &amp;quot;healthy competition&amp;quot; with him.
