Martinez. The newly crowned champion will co-host the pre-show of '<a href="http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/cnn.heroes/vote/">CNN's Heroes: An All-Star Tribute</a>' on Dec. 11.<br />
<br />
Martinez will also take part in 'CNN Heroes: Where Are They Now?' special (Thurs., Nov. 24 at 8PM ET), which will feature guests such as George Lopez and Rainn Wilson discussing the CNN Heroes who have inspired them.<br />
<br />
Before joining the cast of ABC's '<a href="http://www.aoltv.com/show/all-my-children/184013">All My Children</a>,' Martinez joined the military at 19, and in 2003, he was deployed to Iraq. After serving two months as an United States Army infantryman, he was <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/03/jr-martinez-interview-dancing-with-the-stars_n_992193.html">badly injured</a> when his Humvee truck ran over a landmine. He suffered a coma and intense burns on over 40 percent of his body, lost most of the hair on his head and one of his ears. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/23/dancing-with-the-stars-jr-martinez-cnn-special/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

Martinez may have been crowned the <a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/22/dancing-with-the-stars-season-13-finale-the-winner-is/">'Dancing With the Stars' Season 13 champion</a> and walked away with the coveted Mirror Ball trophy, but only one star took home the newly christened Crystal Ball.<br />
<br />
That's right -- AOL TV had it's very own award to dish out to one very lucky star.<br />
<br />
Unlike the Mirror Ball, the Crystal Ball doesn't go to the most skilled dancer or even the star with the most likeable personality. Instead, it went to the person who I believe rose to the challenge week after week and, in the end, walked away from the experience somewhat transformed.<br />
<br />
So who took home the incredibly shiny Crystal Ball? The answer may surprise you ... <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/23/dancing-with-the-stars-season-13-the-crystal-ball-winner/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

You're welcome, now stop reading.<br />
<br />
Everyone else, read on ... It was all smiles backstage last night as the three finalists and their pro dance partners walked the post-show press line. We've all heard the stories of award-winners keeping their trophies in the bathroom or in a dark cupboard, but where does <a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/22/dancing-with-the-stars-season-13-finale-the-winner-is/">the new 'DWTS' champ</a> plan to keep his/her coveted Mirror Ball trophy?<br />
<br />
"Right now I'm going to put mine in bed. I'm going to tuck it in, and it's going to roll around with me. And then after that, once we've kind of grown apart, I'm going to glue it to the hood of my car and drive around ... and honk my horn and it will be my own parade." <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/23/backstage-at-dancing-with-the-stars-finale/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

<br />
The pair were grinning ear to ear, each holding the trophy they'd earned over the past ten weeks. It was a close finish between Rob Kardashian and J.R.

<br />
In what might have been the most evenly matched finale ever, it was anyone's trophy to take home on the Season 13 finale of '<a href="http://www.aoltv.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars">Dancing With the Stars</a>.' And indeed there was a shocker -- at least when it came to the top two.<br />
<br />
Going into the <a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/22/dancing-with-the-stars-season-13-finale-who-will-win/">Season 13 finale</a>, it really was anyone's Mirror Ball to win -- or lose. <a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/22/dwts-rob-kardashian-says-i-really-want-that-trophy/">Rob Kardashian</a> was on top after a stellar freestyle, while season-long frontrunners J.R. Martinez and Ricki Lake were tied for second, trailing Kardashian by three points after <a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/21/dancing-with-the-stars-season-13-finals/">Monday night's performances</a>.<br />
<br />
It was an intense 10 weeks for all three contestants, but in the end it all came down to a fight between the most improved of the season and the indestructible fighter. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/22/dancing-with-the-stars-season-13-finale-the-winner-is/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

And perhaps even more surprising? He deserved to.<br />
<br />
But just because he's <a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/21/dancing-with-the-stars-season-13-finals/">leading the pack</a> heading into tonight's grand finale (Tues., Nov. 22 at 8PM ET), doesn't mean that you should count out J.R. Martinez and Ricki Lake just yet.<br />
<br />
Ricki's been Season 13's ringer. She has the performance background, the technique and, from Week 1, she was in it to win it. Did I mention that she's also had the biggest physical transformation?<br />
<br />
J.R. was the relative unknown with the heroic background. He's relied on his natural talent and personality to get him through week to week, winning the hearts of millions of Americans. Then there's Rob. Every season has an underdog, and this season, it was Rob. Sure, he may have millions of fans and tons of celebrity support, but he's had to fight for his spot in the finals. Do any of you remember his disastrous Week 1 waltz?<br />
<br />
So who will take home the Mirror Ball and become the <a href="http://www.aoltv.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars">Season 13 'Dancing With the Stars'</a> champion? Let's discuss ... <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/22/dancing-with-the-stars-season-13-finale-who-will-win/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

Yet <a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/21/dancing-with-the-stars-season-13-finals/">last night</a> Rob Kardashian and partner Cheryl Burke scored their first perfect 30 for their freestyle dance, which helped put them ahead of fellow finalists Ricki Lake and J.R. Martinez.<br />
<br />
Speaking to reporters on the post-show press line last night Rob and Cheryl were elated with their performance, with Rob telling <a href="http://uk.eonline.com/news/watch_with_kristin/backstage_dwts_surprising_perfection/276380" target="_blank">E! Online</a> that their success is due to his increased confidence. "I gained confidence as the weeks went on and took it a little more seriously. I still have fun with it," he said, but "something clicked and I really want that trophy. I really realized it's possible."<br />
<br />
Ricki Lake and Derek Hough joked that they've already bought their own Mirror Ball trophy just in case they lose out tonight. "There's a store down the street that makes mirror ball trophies for fifteen bucks," he laughed, "so I've already got that made just in case." <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/22/dwts-rob-kardashian-says-i-really-want-that-trophy/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

It's time to light the lights ... It's time for freestyle dances on the 'Dancing' finals tonight.</em><br />
<br />
Yes, that's the theme from 'The Muppets,' slightly altered for this joyous occasion. <em>That's</em> how happy tonight's freestyle dances made me. Seriously. We all know by now that the "Judges' Choice" routines are super boring -- and not all that important in the end -- but the crazy-fantastic free-for-all freestyles? Now that's what we've been waiting for all season, and it was night of surprises on '<a href="http://www.aoltv.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars">Dancing With the Stars</a>.' I don't think anyone could have guessed that Rob Kardashian would be on top of the leaderboard tonight or that Ricki Lake and <a href="http://www.aoltv.com/celebs/derek-hough/676740/main">Derek Hough</a> would underwhelm in the finals.<br />
<br />
But the most surprising/fantastic/heart-pounding moment of the night belonged to <a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/08/29/j-r-martinez-dancing-with-the-stars-all-my-children/">J.R. Martinez</a> and Karina Smirnoff. The hip-shaking pair stunned the crowd, the judges and themselves with their daring routine -- and it was clearly the best routine of the night, if not one of the best routines the show has ever seen. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/21/dancing-with-the-stars-season-13-finals/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

He has won the coveted Mirror Ball trophy all three times he's made it to the finals, and many believe that his work with celebrity partner Ricki Lake this season on the newly redone dance floor will earn him a fourth.<br />
<br />
You might be surprised to know, then, that he's not especially worried about extending his perfect record. "Previous seasons, I've definitely felt the pressure to win, like it was mine to lose and, luckily, I won, but this season I don't feel that sort of pressure," Hough tells AOL TV. "I really like everyone that's in the final, and I think whoever wins totally deserves it."<br />
<br />
With the grand finale of Season 13 looming (Mon., Nov. 21 at 8PM ET), AOL TV caught up with Hough to talk about his freestyle finale plans, the possibility of new judges and his laid-back new attitude -- one that apparently doesn't prevent him from throwing a few friendly jabs at fellow pro Karina Smirnoff. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/21/derek-hough-on-dancing-with-the-stars-judges-theyve-been-th/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

He's seemed dangerously close to boiling point all season and last week capped off an <a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/14/dancing-with-the-stars-season-13-semi-finals/">on-air altercation</a> with judge Carrie Ann Inaba by dropping the f-bomb when talking about her to reporters.<br />
<br />
Although Maks and partner Hope Solo's bad-tempered and uneven run on the show has come to an end, they're still due to perform on Tuesday night's live finale when each of this season's 12 couples returns to the dance floor for a special performance. But will they show up? After their elimination Maks and Hope were <a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/16/backstage-drama-at-dancing-with-the-stars-elimination/">conspicuously absent</a> from the post-show press lineup, and he rattled fans by writing in <a href="http://www.tvguide.com/Celebrity-Blogs/Dancing-Maks-Hope-1039908.aspx?rss=breakingnews" target="_blank">his blog</a>: "What's next for me? I have no immediate plans at the moment. I'm not even sure if we're going to be at the finale!" <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/21/will-maks-perform-on-the-dwts-finale/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

We've had <a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/09/27/nancy-grace-wardrobe-malfunction-dwts/">Nipplegate</a>, <a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/14/dancing-with-the-stars-season-13-semi-finals/">injuries</a>, accusations of <a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/10/05/did-cher-fans-save-chaz-bono-from-elimination-on-dwts/">nepotism</a>, <a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/10/25/maks-vs-len-dancing-with-the-stars-contestants-speak-out/">dancers feuding with judges</a>, <a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/dwts-maksim-chmerkovskiy-derek-hough-hate-each-other-2011211" target="_blank">dancers feuding with each other</a> ... Now it's been reported that the strain of last night's semi-finals elimination all proved to be just too much for one dancer.<br />
<br />
Each week the dancers go backstage and chat to reporters on the post-show press line, but last night one couple was conspicuously absent. According to <a href="http://uk.eonline.com/news/watch_with_kristin/backstage_dwts_hope_solo_leaves_in/275354" target="_blank">E! Online</a>, one half of the eliminated couple "was so upset about [their] elimination from the competition that she was unable to hold it together for interviews."<br />
<br />
<strong>!!SPOILER ALERT!!</strong> If you don't know want to know who was eliminated last night, you might want to stop reading right about now. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/16/backstage-drama-at-dancing-with-the-stars-elimination/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

To come one week shy of the finale is absolutely brutal, but each of the remaining contestants was all smiles. Simply making it this far is quite an achievement, and all four have proven themselves talented and worthy of their place.<br />
<br />
<strong>!!SPOILER ALERT!!</strong><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/14/dancing-with-the-stars-season-13-semi-finals/">This week</a> Hope Solo struggled the most with the judges, but J.R. Martinez wasn't so far ahead on points that a surge of public support couldn't save her. Rob Kardashian and Ricki Lake were probably feeling pretty safe, but we've seen bigger surprises in the past. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/16/dancing-with-the-stars-week-9-elimination-video/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

Things got pretty awkward during the judges' critiques of <a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/01/dancing-with-the-stars-week-7-performances/">Hope Solo</a> and Maks' sexy-but-clumsy Argentine tango. When Carrie Ann started to criticize their sloppy lifts, she called out Maks for <em>smiling</em>.<br />
<br />
"That's fine, Maks, you can go ahead and keep smiling," she said, thinking that the professional looked a little too smug for her liking. Maks looked visibly stunned. I was pretty stunned too. I'm still not sure what she meant. Was he smiling inappropriately?<br />
<br />
Well, this didn't exactly go over well with Hope, who, after weeks of tension, exploded. "Maks was smiling because we should be smiling," the soccer star told Brooke Burke. "So Carrie Ann, thank you, Maks was smiling. This is my partner. Finally, we're happy!" Maks tried to stop his partner from making <a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/10/24/dancing-with-the-stars-week-6-maks-and-len-have-a-major-fallout/">his previous mistake</a>, but the damage was already done.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, for Hope, Carrie Ann wasn't smiling when she gave the pair an 8. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/14/dancing-with-the-stars-season-13-semi-finals/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

Instead, he's focused on making it to the finals, a feat he never thought possible back in week one.<br />
<br />
"He's gained so much confidence in himself," Burke tells AOL TV. "He's not even the same guy that he was in week one, and he's just proved to everybody that he is really talented."<br />
<br />
Now, Kardashian is one of four celebrities vying for the Mirror Ball trophy and eternal ballroom glory, but he's not letting the pressure get to him. "He likes to keep everything light," says Burke. "It's just a show, not a real competition."<br />
<br />
With the semi-finals kicking off this week (Mon., Nov. 14 at 8PM ET), AOL TV chatted with Burke about Kardashian's improvement, the judges' harsh criticisms and her close friendship with the Kardashian family. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/14/cheryl-burke-on-dancing-with-the-stars-its-just-a-show-not/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

Martinez. The 'Dancing With the Stars' frontrunner took some time out of his hectic training schedule to spend the day with a few lucky vets. With the help of his 'DWTS' pro partner, Karina Smirnoff, Martinez honored his fellow veterans with dance lessons.<br />
<br />
Joseph Gallagher, Linda Bates, Jennifer Boman, Daniel Lennon and Lorena Alvarez learned the cha cha cha, a fast-paced dance Martinez and Smirnoff have yet to take on in the competition.<br />
<br />
"We think this would be very therapeutic for a lot of troops and a lot of families," Martinez said. "This might be something we'll think about doing later down the road." <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/11/j-r-martinez-veterans-dance-lessons/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

     <title>Should 'Dancing With the Stars' Only Do One Season a Year?</title>

Is over-saturation to blame? Tom Bergeron has an idea.<br />
<br />
"One season a year works very well for 'American Idol,'" Bergeron told <a href="http://www.tvguide.com/News/Dancing-Stars-Tom-Bergeron-1039480.aspx" target="_blank">TV Guide.</a> "I certainly think that's one of the things that should be considered going forward. I would be looking at the spring season very carefully." <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/09/dancing-with-the-stars-seasons/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

But with America helping to steer the decisions, only J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff likely had a restful night's sleep after the season's first double perfect scores.<br />
<br />
<strong>!!SPOILER ALERT!!</strong><br />
<br />
Nancy Grace and Tristan MacManus again scored the lowest overall total from the judges, just as they had last week. But whereas last week the gap between Grace and David Arquette was only three points, this week there were seven points separating her from the next lowest scorers, Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/09/dancing-with-the-stars-week-8-elimination-video/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

And, being Nancy Grace, she had a zinger or two to let us know how she really feels about it.<br />
<br />
"Well, once I found out it was a guilty verdict that's really all I needed to know," she told <a href="http://www.ontheredcarpet.com/video?id=8422733#global" target="_blank">OnTheRedCarpet.com</a>. "I only wish it had been murder one, because murder one deserves life behind bars, not four years."<br />
<br />
Discussing Murray's future prospects, Grace told <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/nancy-grace-conrad-murray-verdict-dancing-stars-258566" target="_blank">'THR'</a>: "When he gets out, I got news for him ... God's gonna get him. He's gonna be mis-er-able. He can run but he can't hide. Hey! He and Casey Anthony can have a tea party in four years." <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2011/11/08/nancy-grace-talks-conrad-murray-verdict/">Continue Reading</a>]]>
