We are bubbling over with excitement here at BettyConfidential as the new season of Dancing With the Stars is premiering tonight. Of course we aren’t rubbing our hands together for Kelly Osbourne or any of the other contestants, because it’s all about Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff.

Their doomed love affair is set to play out weekly on our TV screen, so be watchful of sly glances and cold stares from Maksim.

The sexy duo officially parted ways at the beginning of the month, and even though Maksim claims to not be worried about this new season, we’re anticipating some major tension.

"It's not about the show. It's just us,” he told People. “To me it was never about anybody else or the show. It was about us. That's what was important to me. We'll see how it goes."

Don’t forget to check out the two-hour season premiere of DWTS on ABC tonight! (People)
