Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Maksim Chmerkovskiy may have met his perfect match — and we're not talking about Karina Smirnoff. The Dancing with the Stars pro is paired with the feisty Debi Mazar, and if you've seen Mazar's multiple tweets praising him to no end, it's clear they get along famously. "I think since we're both from Brooklyn and have that similarity, we just get along," Chmerkovskiy tells TVGuide.com. "We both can dish it out like hell and we can both take it. This whole back-and-forth thing is great and whenever you meet somebody who can make fun of themselves, it's always refreshing." Not so refreshing? Joanna Krupa calling him "a little impatient." See what the unabashedly honest dancer has to say about her comments and find out who he thinks is a dark horse this season.

"I can assure people that will not happen!" Krupa tells TVGuide.com. "That would only happen to a person like T.O. That was just a bad vibe from the beginning." How bad?

Mya
Mya is aching — but she likes it. "My torso's cramped," she tells TVGuide.com about rehearsing with her Dancing with the Stars partner Dmitry Chaplin. "But it's a good sore, like I should've been doing something in the gym before he battered me today!" The singer/actress is hard at work perfecting her moves with Chaplin, but don't think her dance background puts her at a large or even unfair advantage. It just puts more pressure on her, she says. See what else she has to say about her new gig and if she'll pay tribute to the "Cell Block Tango" she performed in the musical Chicago on the show.
