STAGE TUBE: Kirstie Alley Has Broadway Aspirations; John Travolta Approves

Kirstie Alley's 'Dancing with the Stars' debut landed her on 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno' last night. Alley discussed everything from her 'Dancing' experience to her new weight-loss system, Organic Liaison, to her desire to do Broadway. Click below for the spot!

When she told John Travolta she'd signed up for Dancing with the Stars and her intentions to act on Broadway, Travolta replied, "Oh honey, I could have just made a call and gotten you a play right now. Same guys who did HAIRSPRAY. They'd love you."

Alley goes on to talk about her dancing partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, and earns a little razzing from Leno about the two of them and any "sexual chemistry."
