SO well deserved!!!!

Check out the video (above) of JR Martinez winning season 13 of Dancing With the Stars, and taking home the coveted mirror-ball trophy!!!!!!!

We were definitely impressed with the progress that Rob Kardashian had been making each week, and of course we LOVE our gurl Ricki Lake….but we're quite pleased with JR's win! He is a true inspiration to us all!

Congratulations and thanks to all the contestants who contributed to this wonderfully exciting season of DWTS!

We'll look forward to seeing Pee-Wee win compete next season! Ha!

What do U think? Did JR Martinez deserve to win???

It all comes down to this!

This isn't the final three we thought the show was going to have when the show started, but all three of them have certainly delivered over the last nine weeks. Consistently pulling in high scores - sometimes even double perfect scores - these celebs have proven that they have exactly what it takes to own a tacky, disc ball trophy and each gave it their all in last night's final competition round.

But who stole the show? Who will walk away tonight with all the glory? Let's watch and see! Check out the video (above) to see Ricki Lake take to the floor one last night and leave it all out there with a Cha Cha. Then, click the jump to watch Rob Kardashian and J.R. Martinez twirl their partners around the floor with ease!

Who do U think won the night? Who's going home with a little more pride tonight???

Ricki Lake is coming back to daytime TV!

The syndicated The Ricki Lake Show was cleared in fifty percent of test markets across the country and will launch in September 2012.

The show will join newbies like Jeff Probst, Katie (Couric), and Steve Harvey. Ricki will be on Tribune Stations and will replace Anderson on WPIX.

The new incarnation is described as

Hope Solo is having a tough - big time!

The soccer star, who was eliminated Tuesday night Dancing With The Stars, would normally be doing the pretty-routine exit tour that is given to most axed contestants, which includes a spot on Jimmy Kimmel Live the night of boot, and then an interview on the following day's Good Morning America, but due to it being during the semi-final rounds of the competition, the network has instead decided to promote the remaining three contestants - Ricki Lake, Rob Kardashian and J.R. Martinez - before the finale next week!

However, it may in fact be to her benefit, as during her Extra interview, she got choked up and later refused to speak with any press, which, according to her rep, was because she was too "emotional." She's returned home to Seattle until the finale.

Aww! Poor thing!

It must stink to get so close to the end, only to get eliminated!

Keep your chin up, gurl!

You had a great run, and you should be proud of your performance!

The top four on this Dancing with the Stars battled in the semi-finals and Ricki Lake stole the show!

Ricki had previously been in the top spot before J.R. Martinez leap-frogged her. Ricki samba-ed her way back to number one with a perfect score!

J.R.'s ankle caught up with him and he was jumped by Rob Kardashian while Hope Solo is almost certainly the next one to go home.

Rob got the 10 points for the cha-cha rally but the night belonged to Ricki.

Check out the video above and see Ricki sashay her way to 30 points!

More dangers in the online dating world.

Ricki Lake recently admitted that she was almost duped into marrying a British charmer who she says was a "user and liar."

The talk show host said that she planned to help her British suitor get a green card and even met with immigration lawyers on the matter.

Lake said the following in an interview:

We don't blame you, Derek! It was pretty dramarrific!

As we mentioned before, Dancing with the Stars contestant Maksim Chmerkovskiy started up some dramz (above) after he received an unenthusiastic response from the judges for his rumba performance with Hope Solo.

Now, Derek Hough has opened up about Maks' DWTS incident. Here's what he had to say about it:

So nice. Such camaraderie.

On Friday, GLSN held an held their annual Respect Awards in Beverly Hills, with a special presentation for Chaz Bono and all the good he has done for the LGBT community.

As he has been such a great friend and competitor to those on the show, many of his fellow Dancing With The Stars showed up to show their support.
