Dancing With The Stars

The show may be over, but the Dancing With the Stars finalists will still be on their feet a lot over the next few weeks.

Champ Kristi Yamaguchi — the second female to win in the show's history — will raise the green flag at this weekend's Indy 500, "hopefully bringing some good luck to Helio [Castroneves, last season's champ]," she told Us after her win Tuesday.

In the meantime, the Olympic gold medal-winning figure skater told Us, "these feet are going up — maybe swimming by the pool!"

Her newly single dance partner Mark Ballas told Us he turns 22 on Saturday.

"We are going to Vegas to have a party with some friends and family," he said.

Meanwhile, pro-football player Jason Taylor, who came in second place, may act.

"Absolutely, that is something that does interest me," he told Us. "The great thing about this show is that it opened a lot of doors of opportunity."

(His ideal flick? "Probably an action-type film. I would have to play the good guy!")

His partner, Edyta Sliwinska, is "going to Poland and have my mom take care of me — I am exhausted! I might take some time off next season. I need to breathe and relax."

As for Cristian de la Fuente — the first finalist to be eliminated?

He is set to is to undergo surgery Friday for a ruptured tendon in his biceps that he suffered on the show.

"It's 8:15 a.m.," he told Us. "I have invited all of TMZ to be there. I will give them all the blood in a jar!"

Take a look back at the show's over-the-top styles here.

Apolo is a short-track SPEED skater -- not a FIGURE skater.

I heard that Interview as well and Mark cleary stated that he doesnt know where all the rumors are coming from that he and Sabrina are still as close as ever and nothing has changed and no one really what their relationship is like because the dont publicly have their relationship out in the open like all the other celebraties I really hope the best for Mark and Sabrina they are cute together and have great chemistry

There were no complaints when drew lachey won and he was in a boy band. So was Sabrina from Cheetah Girls, and Scary Spice, and Apolo from season 1 was a figure skater too and there's joey fatone.

Why all the hate towards kristi when a crap load of other contestants on DWTS had dance background???

When did DWTS turned into miss america?

5:24 PM Kristi_Won! Says:

Really glad that Kristi won --- very fair. No one said anything about Apolo Anton Ohno winning on the 4th season not being fair --- he is a Olympic ice stater too. Everyone is just jealous... that they want Jason or Cristian to win because of their personality. This is a dancing contest--- not a personality contest.

Obviously Mark and Sabrina have broken up, I guess he can let the cat out of the bag now that the competition is over and he has all the votes he needs to win.

I totally agree withe 100%.... I dont like her either.. shes ugly with a flat butt and no curves whats so ever

KRISTI SHOULD NOT HAVE WON!! Jason and Edyta should have won - she does all those moves from figure skating, posture, etc... UNFAIR ADVANTAGE. Besides, she is ugly with her flat face and her partner was a jerk with his facial expressions. UGH!!!

JASON AND EDYTA WERE THE BEST!!!!!

Okay Im totally confused by what they are saying about Mark being single????? I thought he and Sabrina are still together and that they confirmed that with a blog on his myspace has anyone heard different???? Or Are Mark and Sabrina still together I really hope so they make a great and cute couple

Mark IS NOT SINGLE!!! Did any body hear his interview on the radio the day of the finals? He said he doesnt know where all these rumors come from! He and Sabrina are still dating and seeing each other as much as they can. They are both very busy!

I totally disagree with you all...she should have won....She can skate but can't dance....Did you see she had no rythem when she did the free style...I thought she was great and deserved to win......She worked as hard as anyone else and also got some harsh comments from the judges when she needed it.....I think this was the best DWTS ever....Christian should have come in second and Jason third......They all did a good job.

I totally agree with you!! I didnt think that she should of won! I agree with everyone else that she can dance but she been training for a long time. I know figue skatoing isnt the same with dancing but technically she still has that! I hoped that Jason won he started with no knowledge of dancing! Its a bummer!

I don't think that she should've won. It isn't fair. As a figure skater, she took dance lessons I'm sure and learned how to be graceful and use her arms. She had an unfair advantage and Jason should've won, he had no experience at all. Kristi was a favorite from the 1st episode, the judges already picked her to win.
