Dancer Maksim disses Marie Osmond!

Is this really such a smart idea?

Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who participates in the “Dancing With the Stars” finale tonight with his partner Mel B. (aka Scary Spice), doesn’t think Marie Osmond deserves to be in the final with him and Scary along with Helio Castroneves and partner Julianne Hough.

“I know first-hand there are a lot of celebrities on the show that went through similar situations this season and decided not to make it public,” he said.

Ouch!

That might cost Maksim some votes. Marie is a showbiz survivor who enjoys enduring and deep affection from the public.

The final results will be revealed tomorrow night on ABC.
