Dancing With The Stars Finale

Here must fabulous images of star.

1.

Highlights from this season's 'Dancing with the Stars' include Maksim Chmerkovskiy baring his chest and Jake Pavelka going pantless for 'Risky Business.'

And that champion is! NICOLE SCHERZINGER!!! She's very excited, which is cute. Evan says he's 'satisfied'with his experience and is 'so proud' of Nicole. Nicole is crying. Mark Ballas comes out and puts Derek on his shoulders. Aidan Turner follows suit and puts Nicole on his shoulders. Lots of hugging and confetti. And that's it!

2.

Nicole and Derek decide on their Argentine tango for their 'favorite' dance, because its 'fierce' and Nicole got a lot of good feedback on it. It was, and tonight is still, phenomenal. They even change up some moves at the end to make it even better this time around. At one point, Nicole stands on Derek's foot and he basically floats her through the air. Tons of applause.

3.

And now, their final performance - a jive to Proud Mary. A back flip to kick it off from Derek and some SERIOUS jiving with some SERIOUS hairography. I think I have to catch my breath after that one. Len outright says Nicole should win. Bruno says Nicole and Derek have produced some of the most stunning dances he's seen and this one was the 'crowning glory.'

4.

Here goes Kate Gosselin! Still painfully terrible, but she is smiling. And now, a surprise transition to 'I Will Survive' and a costume change! Um, and now Kate is up on some lift thing with the camera in her face, rising above the crowd, with smoke coming out below her. I don't...I don't get it. It's over and now she's just standing up there, alone, on top of the lift. Tom Bergeron can't stop laughing at the ridiculousness.

5.

Jake and his betrothed, Vienna, are dancing. But not together?? BUT TO 'ON THE WINGS OF LOVE'! OK, now they're dancing together (they were dancing with pros). ABC really wants Jake and Vienna to happen. Where's Regina George to tell them they're not going to happen?

7.

a shirtless (but be-tied) Damian Whitewood, Niecy Nash and Louis Van Amstel (with cameos by Tony Dovolani and Dmitry Chaplin). I don't think ANY of us were ready for that jelly. Afterward, Niecy comments on her new svelte figure: 'I feel like a weave on a stick!'

9.

Erin says she knew she wouldn't make it to the end, but she came into the show under really 'crappy circumstances,' and she's gotten her smile back thanks to the experience. In her good-bye package, she says Maksim 'brought [her] back to life.' Aw. They have one last dance, the cha-cha-cha, and its adorable.
