5 hours ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Last night on Dancing With the Stars, Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough were crowned the winners of season 16 and were bestowed the honor of hoisting the mirror-ball trophy.

"I just tried to take it one week at a time, one dance at a time," the North Carolina-born Pickler told People after her victory, »

Who Won 'DWTS'?
18 hours ago | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Kellie Pickler has been crowned the "DWTS" winner.
The country singer was named the Season 16 "DWTS" champion after weeks of competition, beating out Disney star Zendaya, Super Bowl champ Jacoby Jones and Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman.
"This is amazing," Kellie said, before Jacoby put the "DWTS" winner on his shoulders as she held the Mirror Ball trophy with her partner Derek Hough.
Shortly after the results were announced, Kellie, who initially didn't hear co-host Tom Bergeron name her the "DWTS" winner, spoke with ABC News. "This has been an unbelievable night. I'm kind of lost for words," the "American Idol" alumna said.
"I'm very proud," a very poised Zendaya, who was the runner-up, told "DWTS" co-host Brooke Burke Charvet. "I get to leave here with an amazing experience so I'm happy."
After he found out he wasn't the "DWTS" winner shortly before the show ended, Jacoby joked that he'll be »

18 hours ago | Access Hollywood | See recent Access Hollywood news »
"Dancing with the Stars" has crowned Season 16's mirrorball champions.
It's been said that the freestyle is the dance that can win the season and that appeared to be the case for Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough, who won "DWTS" on Tuesday night.
Despite coming in one judges' point behind the perfect-scoring Zendaya and pro Valentin Chmerkovskiy over two nights of competition in the finals, Kellie and Derek clearly impressed the public with their gravity-defying Monday night freestyle. And when it was all said and done, the fan vote (which was combined with the judges' score for their ...

Dancing With The Stars 16 Kellie Pickler & Derek Hough Won The Whole Show Tonight
18 hours ago | OnTheFlix | See recent OnTheFlix news »
Dancing With The Stars 16 Kellie Pickler & Derek Hough won the whole show tonight. Tonight's finale show kicked off with a performance from a couple of the dance pros,and they were joined by the final 4. Then Kellie & Derek did an encore performance of their Freestyle routine from last night. From there, we learned that Alexandra & Mark landed in 4th place,so they were immediately eliminated at that point. Next, the female finalists and DWTS female pro dancers did a "girls" routine. After that,they brought back some previously voted off celebs from this season to do performances with their dance pro partners. They included: Wynona Judd, Lisa Vanderpump, Dorothy Hamill,along with past champion Kristi Yamaguchi,and Andy Dick. Next, we saw rap star,Psy, perform his awful,new song,titled, “Gentleman.” His dancing was also lousy. I wish they would just quit inviting him to perform on these shows. »

Is it us, or has "Dancing with the Stars" lost its mojo? Even the makeup has less pizzazz than it once did, in its Cirque de Soleil heyday. Tonight, the Season 16 cast returned to the ballroom to open the finale Tuesday with a choreographed dance to rapper Pitbull's "Don't Stop the Party." Noted tonight was host Tom Bergeron and co-host Brooke Burke-Charvet asking for help for the Red Cross relief efforts for Oklahoma. Nice. Country star Kellie Pickler, in second place after Tuesday's results show, and her pro partner Derek Hough performed an encore of their moving freestyle dance from the night before. Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman and her pro partner Mark Ballas are first to go »

After 10 long, highly predictable (and occasionally entertaining) weeks, Dancing With The Stars’ Season 16 finale offered variations on – anticlimax alert! — what we’ve been witnessing since the premiere: Disney teen queen Zendaya still dazzling (her samba, Cha Cha relay and hip hop-themed freestyle on Monday scored a trio of perfect scores from the judges), Kellie Pickler in hot pursuit (just one stinkin’ Cha Cha-fueled point behind), and a game Aly Raisman (just 4 points in arrears) primed to potentially crash the party.
But with these leading ladies a mere heel and toe apart on the Judges’ Leaderboard (sorry, Jacoby Jones, you were »

'Dancing with the Stars' Season 16 finale: Aly Raisman and Mark Ballas land in fourth place
19 hours ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Despite some really impressive finals dancing on "Dancing with the Stars" Season 16, Aly Raisman and Mark Ballas placed only fourth and were subsequently cut first from the finale results show.
It was actually a bit of a surprise that Aly and Mark were the first to go from the "DWTS" finale. After the performances on Monday night, the couple was in third place. They were a few points off the nearly perfect leaders -- Zendaya and Val, Kellie and Derek -- but were well ahead of Jacoby and Karina when it came to points. Aly and Mark's 61 points seemed enough to keep them safe about Jacoby and Karina's 56.
And this has been a popular couple throughout the season. Not always at the top, Aly and Mark were always high enough up and good enough dancers to escape the cruel blow of the bottom two.
That all came to an end with the finale results. »
