Kristi Yamaguchi takes the crown! She’s the first female winner of Dancing with the Stars in several seasons — and the very first contestant to get perfect 10s in all 3 dances!

“It’s great to know after having two kids and not competing for 16 years that I can still push myself,” says Kristi.

In mere hours, Dancing with the Stars will begin its two-part season finale (watch for it on ABC, Monday at 8 p.m., EST and Tuesday at 9 p.m., EST).

Who are you placing bets on? Will Olympic skater Kristi Yamaguchi add this gold medal to her collection of trophies, or will NFL star Jason Taylor make the winning kick (…and swing…and swirl…) Others are rooting for Cristian de la Fuente, who made a comeback after injuring his left bicep several weeks ago.

Reports say the couples practice ten or more hours a day. Hopefully, it’s worth it. (Tip: no doll costumes, please!)

Everyone thought that Marissa Jaret Winokur and Tony Dovolani would be eliminated from Dancing With the Stars, but it turned out that Mario and partner Karina Smirnoff were sent home. He took it gracefully, though.

“I’ve had a great time, a great partner and great competition,” Mario said: “Len, thank you for all the comments you made. Ultimately, you helped me become a better ballroom dancer. The comment about me being an inspiration to young people, I want to say that the real great ones are the young men and women fighting for our country…I had a ball. Thank you guys.”

A dramatic injury on Dancing with the Stars has fans debating whether or not Cristian de la Fuente is a cry baby or a hero.

What do you thinK? Can “severe muscle cramp” merit a trip to a hospital or is he just trying to save a mediocre dance by throwing in theatrics?

No, their clothes didn’t fall apart during the performance — but you kind of wish someone ripped them apart before they even saw the light of day. These are the strangest costumes ever to be worn on the Dancing With The Stars stage. Some are wacky, some are just plain tacky.

It was a shocking night at Dancing with the Stars with crowd favorite Adam Carolla getting kicked off, and Priscilla Presley slipping into an illegal move that nearly got her booted, too.

Dancing with the Stars fans, you will “heart” this commentary. It’s funny, accurate, and heck of entertaining. Go to I “Heart” DWTS with Griffin Matthews and poke fun at judge’s comments, costumes, and what promises to be one of the weirdest bits of advice a father could ever give.

Can’t wait till you get your Dancing with the Stars fix? Here’s something to tide you over until the premiere on March 17: the photos and bios of the newest DWTS cast. It’s an interesting mix of former air force hotties (gotta love men in uniform!) and Olympic medallists.

One of the top reality shows intersects with the top daytime talk show! The Dancing with the Stars cast guested on Oprah. The show will air on Thursday.

Dancing with the Stars sixth season will start without pro dancer
Maksim Chmerkovskiy. However it’s not true that the hot dancer — who brought his celebrity partners Laila Ali and Mel B. to the finals in two consecutive seasons — is quitting the show. He just needs break. “He is part of the Dancing family, and he will be back,” says his rep.

Apparently the show’s difficult schedule had left him feeling burnt out. “After coming down from two seasons back-to-back, 10 weeks each season — 14 weeks, if you count all of the rehearsals — it puts a lot of pressure on a person and it takes its toll,” the dancer said.

However, fans will get their Chmerkovskiy fix: he will be in special group-choreographed dances.
