Posted Apr 12th 2011 at 01:05 AM by AOL TV Editors

Kirstie Alley has stumbled into a run of bad luck on 'Dancing with the Stars'. But it wasn't a stumble that tripped her up this week. Rather, she lost her shoe during a spin with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

It may not have looked like a massive tumble, but Maksim Chmerkovskiy clearly injured something rather painfully toward the beginning of his rumba with Kirstie Alley on 'Dancing with the Stars' this week. Chmerkovskiy said his "thigh just gave out." In a number filled with emotional meaning for Alley, it was a shame they got off to such a shaky start. Even after they recovered their feet, ...
