trousdale beverly hills dancing with the stars dwts Maksim Chmerkovskiy

Maksim Chmerkovskiy was all smiles and sexiness when we caught him at Trousdale last night, but earlier in the day the Dancing With The Stars hunk went on the defensive against Elisabeth Hasselbeck after she made tasteless comments about his dance partner Erin Andrews.

On The View yesterday, Hasselbeck quipped that Andrews' costumes were too revealing, saying, “In light of what happened and as a legal [matter] and as inexcusable as it was for that horrific guy to go in and try to peep on her in her hotel room ... I mean, in some way if I’m him, I’m like, ‘Man! I just could’ve waited 12 weeks and seen this -- a little bit less -- without the prison time!’” After that Maks tweeted, "I'm the one designing @ErinAndrewsESPN's dresses for the show, so I'll just assume that @ehasselbeck is jealous...and stupid 4 her comments."

Andrews added, "I think people can have opinions about the costumes and the show ... but my biggest complaint is she's a woman and a mother and there was giggling [and] it was a mockery of something I've lived through this past year ... I felt like it was a slap in the face for victims of stalkers and victims of sexual predators."

Hasselbeck has since publicly apologized for the incident, and on The View today she revealed that she has called Andrews to personally apologize as well.
