News

After last night’s Dancing With The Stars finale, there was even more interesting scoop backstage.

JR Martinez admitted that he made a mistake during the Cha Cha.

“I panicked a little bit at the beginning of the dance, so I rushed it and went too fast.”

In addition, Derek Hough said that even if he doesn’t win the mirror ball trophy, he picked one up for his partner.

“There’s a store down the street that makes mirror ball trophies for fifteen bucks, so I’ve already got that made just in case,” Derek jokes.

Other good news for Derek? Former DWTS contestant, Kirstie Alley picked his team to win.

“I think they all did a really good job, but my favorite is Ricki because I love Ricki’s spirit,” Kirstie exclaimed. “She always seems joyous when she’s dancing. She works really hard at it, which I admire, and she’s been consistent. I just love her so I want her to win.”
