Ralph Macchio and Kirstie Alley Lead 'Dancing With the Stars'

"Dancing With the Stars" kicked off Season 12 on Monday Night with a huge television audience and a new group of celebrity dancers.

 Ralph Macchio, of "Karate Kid" fame, garnered the evening high in points – 24 – egged on perhaps by wildly screaming females of all ages.

The 49-year-old’s foxtrot left the judges with their mouths agape. "What an amazing surprise," voiced Carrie Ann Inaba, adding she was shocked "that you had such elegance."

60-year old Kirstie Alley, earned 23 points with her cha cha. "The best of the night," declared an enthusiastic Bruno Tonioli. "I feel like we’re just scratching the surface," he added.

Alley really played to the crowd with her slapping her own butt and giving one of her breasts, a lift.
