Gorgeous "Dancing with the Stars" host Brooke Burke gave her thoughts on which celebrity would be great for season 14 of the popular reality show, saying, "I think Kellan Lutz would be a good get... Oscar De La Hoya..."
The host added that she thinks her husband, David Charvet, "is a great dancer. I think David should do it."
The new "Dancing with the Stars" champion J.R. Martinez talked backstage with "Extra" special correspondent Tony Dovolani after his big win, talking about how his mother was there to help celebrate!
"I was like, 'Where are you?'" Martinez laughed. "She's like 4'11", poor thing, hidden in the crowd. But it's amazing to think that 8, 12 years ago, she was teaching me how to walk after my injury in Iraq. Now to say I am of those winners on the show is amazing."
In a powerful Season 13 finale, the "Dancing with the Stars" mirror ball trophy went to J.R. Martinez and his partner Karina Smirnoff!
The soldier-turned-actor, whose triumph over severe burns received in Iraq brought raw emotion to the ballroom, had excelled throughout the competition. During Monday's performances, J.R. and Karina came in second, but danced a daring, high-energy freestyle to "Whine Up" by Kat DeLuna. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba said the lifts were the "sickest" she's ever seen. Watch the performance that gave the dancing duo a perfect 30!
Ricki Lake and her partner Derek Hough were eliminated earlier in Tuesday's show, leaving Rob Kardashian and his dancing mate Cheryl Burke to perform one last time against Smirnoff and Martinez. After the votes were tallied, Martinez was named the winner.
Controversial "Dancing with the Stars" alum Chaz Bono paid a visit to The Grove and revealed he is rooting for "J.R., but it could be anybody's game." Bono, who was eliminated from the competition series last month, said, "Everybody's coming back for the finale."
The transgender advocate recently appeared on Howard Stern's radio show, where he expressed interest in hosting a talk show. Chaz explained, "Actually, somebody tweeted me this idea of me, J.R. (Martinez), David (Arquette), and Carson (Kressley) doing something together. And I just thought, 'What an interesting group of guys we all are, this could be really good.'"
"Dancing with the Stars" finalists Rob Kardashian, J.R. Martinez and Ricki Lake took to the stage on Monday night and showed off some impressive moves, with Rob earning a perfect 30.
Rob's famous family cheered him on in the audience, with older sister Kim making her first appearance at the studio since announcing her divorce from Kris Humphries. The Kardashian clan wore matching white button-down shirts and black jackets for the action-packed evening. Rob commented, "They dressed for the occasion!"
That would Rob Kardashian and his partner Cheryl Burke, who took the leaderboard for the first time in this "Dancing with the Stars" competition.

Kardashian and Burke earned a perfect 30 for their retro, Charleston-utilizing freestyle. "This competition is often won or lost in the freestyle round and to get a 10 you have to blow us away. Consider me blown!" raved judge Carrie Ann Inaba.
"Dancing with the Stars" finalist and soap star J.R. Martinez and his girlfriend Diana Jones open up on "Nightline" to discuss their relationship.
Jones, an executive assistant staff member at "All My Children," said she wasn't bothered by J.R,'s scars when they first met on the set of the soap opera. "The minute I met him, I didn't see them [the scars]," Jones said.
Moments after "Dancing with the Stars" said goodbye to contestant Hope Solo, "Extra" special correspondent Tony Dovolani spoke exclusively with the emotional soccer star.
"Tears are okay. I'm human," said Solo, who was comforted by Dovolani.
Solo and partner Maks Chmerkovskiy had a few run-ins with the judges during Season 13. She explained, "I just don't feel like the world got to see the real me, but that's okay. 'Cause I'm going to go back to my world where I can be myself and be respected."
Did she think her emotions got the best of her? "Nothing got the best of me. I'm very proud of who I am. At the end of the day, I had to stay true to myself."
