Incredible Shrinking Kirstie Alley

In this photo combination of file images released by ABC, actress Kirstie Alley and her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy perform on the celebrity dance competition series, "Dancing with the Stars," in Los Angeles, on March 28, at left, and May 16, at right. Alley has been losing weight week-after-week during the competition, and when she performs on the season finale, she'll do it in a much smaller dress (38 inches smaller) than the one she wore on the season premiere.
