Maksim Chmerkovskiy from 'Dancing with the Stars' is returning to the Broadway ballroom dancing smash 'Burn the Floor' on November 27. Last time, he danced with his then-fiancée Karina Smirnoff. This time, he's with Kym Johnson who just won the DWTS crown with Donny Osmond. Maks spoke with PopEater about Osmond's victory and his image on the show.

What's harder: Broadway or DWTS?
I think I enjoy Broadway so much more. DWTS is not just about dancing. It's also about dealing with your partner and their insecurities. You turn into not just a dancer and an instructor, but also a psychiatrist and a shoulder to cry on. I look forward to Broadway because it showcases exactly what I do and I get to do it the way I want to do it and not alter it because of who I'm dancing with. I just enjoy the hell out of it.

Do you think Donny Osmond deserved to win?
I think so, given what the show is. There are certain things you have to do to win the crowd. Mya was obviously one of the best dancers we've ever had on our show but I think her and Dmitry didn't get the message across how much she wanted to win.

Donny Osmond was declared the new champion of 'Dancing With The Stars' on Tuesday night, taking home the show's mirror ball trophy in the season finale of the ABC contest reality program. Osmond, the former teen pop star of the singing Osmond family, said the show has been a highlight in a career of ups and downs. "I did it!" Osmond exclaimed. He promptly rushed to the audience and plucked out his wife, Debbie, whom he carried across the stage. Helping push Osmond over the top was his performance Tuesday: an Argentine tango, performed with his professional dancing partner, Kym Johnson. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba hailed it as "artistry in motion." It earned the top score of the final performances Tuesday.

Less than a week before the 'Dancing With The Stars' finale, Mya is feeling the painful effects of dancing for over ten weeks now. Working eight to fourteen hours a day, she's ready to face her competitors, Donny Osmond and Kelly Osbourne. But it's also obvious she's itching to wind down and focus on getting her life back to normal.

Following Tuesday's finale, she'll fly straight to New York for press and "hopefully go to Maryland for Thanksgiving to see my family after all of this is over. Then, I am going to take time off to relax and recuperate," Mya tells PopEater.

It has been a great year for Susan Boyle, and now the 'Britain's Got Talent' runner-up will sing on the hit ABC show, 'Dancing With The Stars.' According to Access Hollywood, Boyle will perform 'I Dreamed a Dream,' the Les Miserables song that skyrocketed her to fame last April.

After week 6 and the disappointing critiques Jitterbug, 'Dancing With the Stars' contestants Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel wowed the America and the judges with an amazing performance on Monday night. PopEater managed to catch up with the dancing couple during a break in their busy schedule.

December's Playboy cover girl Joanna Krupa is standing up against women who view the men's magazine as sexist and demeaning. "I think they suffer from lack of knowledge and tunnel vision... What is feminist about discriminating a photo shoot just because it involves female (partial) nudity that happens to give men pleasure? Pathetic," Krupa told Fox New's Pop Tarts. What really upsets her is that actresses like Kate Winslet and Halle Berry can win Oscars after having performed intense sex scenes -- yet her shoot in Playboy will cause an outcry.

Say goodbye to Michael Irvin and Mark Dacascos. 'Dancing With the Stars' booted the football great and the 'Iron Chef America' host from the popular show on Tuesday despite Irvin's best scores of the season and a dance-off by the Food Network star.

Former Dallas Cowboys receiver Irwin finished his run on the hit ABC show with his highest score of the season: He earned 23 points out of 30 for his fox-trot with professional partner Anna Demidova on Monday's episode.

Former NFL star Michael Irvin scored just enough points to hold onto his place on 'Dancing with the Stars' - Irvin narrowly advanced through Tuesday's elimination episode, while actress Melissa Joan Hart and snowboarder Louie Vito got the dancing boot. "That's the game," said 'Sabrina, the Teenage Witch' star Hart. "It's tough. I was hoping to make it one more week."

This week, the 'Dancing With The Stars' couples danced to the dark and sexy paso doble. But who barely missed the mark and got eliminated? Find out, after the jump!

Melissa Rycroft, who parlayed an epic rejection on 'The Bachelor' to a successful run on 'Dancing With the Stars' earlier this year, has announced she has a case of the swine flu.

"I am indeed recovering from a bout of the H1N1 flu virus," Rycrof, 26, tells Usmagazine.com.
