 Dancing with the Stars: Maksim Chmerkovskiy talks frankly
Although the Season 9 premiere of "Dancing With the Stars" is still weeks away, professional dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy said that there are already competitors to look out for.
"Donny Osmond -- he has a fan base that's so massive that he doesn't even need to dance, period. I think he'll do great. He's a great entertainer." Maksim, who is partnered up this season with Debi Mazar, told this to a famous television channel.
Maksim further added that singing star Mya, who is paired with Dmitry Chaplin, is expected to do well, as is Lacey Schwimmer's new dance floor partner.
"I think Mark Dacascos, on paper, is great. I remember watching him doing his thing with Jet Li," "He could be one of the dark horses people don't think about. I think Debi will be great. [She could be] a dark horse too." Chmerkovskiy said this about the "Cradle 2 The Grave" star.
One star heading into competition Maksim is taking no notice of, however, is model Joanna Krupa.
His fellow cast member from ABC's summer reality show, "The Superstars," previously told the magazine that Maksim is "a little impatient," something that seemed to set Maksim off.
Maks told the magazine, "She doesn't even know me. I'm very happy we're not partners," "If she wants to jump on the bandwagon of thinking I'm impatient, that's fine by me. My focus is Debi. It's silly of [Joanna] to say that since she's never said a word to me."
Maks added that he is not the bad guy that people make him out to be.
He said, "People always think, 'Wow, Maks is so mean.' I'm not mean. Yes, I'll be frustrated, but I know what to get out of this person so we'll be there Thursday. If I was always nice, pleasant and not educating my partner, then they won't get out of this show what they themselves want," "What happens is people sign up not knowing what exactly they're signing up for. When they're freaking out, I go, 'Listen, if you do exactly what I say, you'll be fine.' Sometimes we need to push our partners because that's what they want us to do."
