Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough are unstoppable!

Dancing with the Stars' third episode was a prom-themed event, and while there can only be one prom queen and one prom king, the leading couple from last week, Kellie and Derek, managed to outshine everyone… AGAIN!!!

The country star and her professional dancing partner took their crowns last night as they earned 25 points for their "Footloose" jive, which according to judge Carrie Ann Inaba was "ridiculously amazing."

Ryan Lochte is a hunk, an Olympic athlete and a total hunk! LOLz!

A high school senior from Suffolk, VA named Danielle Jennette started a twitter account @ryanlochteprom and started tweeting @ryanlochte in an attempt to try and get Ryan to go to her senior prom with her.

She was able to actually get his attention because she's also a swimmer and she started raising money for a charity he sponsors, Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy.

Due to the fact that he is training literally seven days a week for the 2016 Olympics he was unable to take her to prom.

So he did the next best thing… he sent her a dozen roses and a personal letter that read:

At a Missouri high school, Linda was a senior and prom was approaching… and she was considering not going!

She suffered from cerebral palsy but loved Missouri Football, so her family thought, who better to take her to prom than wide receiver T.J. Moe and quarterback Corbin Berkstresser?

In Iowa, a high school student, Rachel Bird, invited Tim Tebow to her prom via Twitter.

Sadly, he never responded.

So she decided to do what any other normal high school girl would do… She and her dad built a cardboard cutout of Tebow, slapped some cologne on to it (srsly) and took THAT to prom instead.

She said:

"I didn't want to go with just anybody just to have a date."

To her, Tebow was the best with his good looks and Christian faith, so she literally took him to her prom — and, obvi he was the life of the party!

The funny part is that of course, girls wanted to dance with him and guys wanted their picture taken with him.

"I think more people took their picture with Tim than they did with me."

He was such a great prom date, things are getting serious as she plans to take him to college with her in the fall.

What does her dad think about all this?

"I think as long as he's made of cardboard, it'll be okay."

Ha!

We wonder if he'll be just as big a hit at her college… or if she'll be branded that girl who talks to the Tebow cardboard cutout at night. LOLz!

Awww!

We're so sad this boy is losing his mother, but are happy that she got her dying wish when she watched her youngest son graduate high school with his entire class…from her hospital bed.

Blake Vilett and his entire graduating class at Parsons Christian Academy in Florida, put on their cap and gowns at the hospital so Mary Vilett, a mother losing her battle with lung cancer, could watch her son get his high school diploma.

The family and students gathered at her bedside for nearly two hours to not only celebrate her son's graduation, but her dying wish.

"She deserved it more than me because she's the one that made it happen," her graduating son said.

The dying mother fortunately witnessed another adolescent milestone for her son when she saw him wear his first tux before heading off to his senior prom.

We wish the Vilett family the best as they deal with Mary's tragic circumstance, but are so glad they were still able to find joy despite the sadness of losing a loved one.
