was catching up with her "Dancing with the Stars" chums Mark Ballas and Derek Hough when their reunion was cut short by criminals who burglarized the boys' van in Roseville, MN.
It's the Fourth of July! In addition to commemorating our Declaration of Independence, many stars across Hollywood are telling ET just what makes them proud to be an American!
Memorial Day has come and gone and with it the oh-so-comfortable bulky sweaters and concealing sweat pants of winter. Now, it's time for skimpy sun dresses and bikini bathing suits. Don't despair! It's not too late to get into shape for the sizzling days of summer -- and ET's favorite celebs tell you how they do it!
CHRISTIE BRINKLEY loves to jog and go kayaking; "Dancing with the Stars" judge CARRIE ANN INABA stays fit with aerobics and kick boxing; and this year's "DWTS" champ KRISTI YAMAGUCHI's secret is a healthy, balanced diet.

After a thrilling sixth season, "Dancing with the Stars" crowned its new champion on Tuesday night. For the first time since season one, a woman was named queen of the dance floor -- Olympic gold medalist ice skater KRISTI YAMAGUCHI took home the mirror ball trophy!
The season finale opened with thoughts from the three finalists, Kristi, CRISTIAN DE LA FUENTE and JASON TAYLOR. Cristian, who tore a muscle in his bicep a few weeks ago during a routine and has danced with only one arm since, said the show made him realize: "In life, everything is possible if you really work hard for it." Jason said bashfully, "I feel like I've kind of, found a new me a little bit," and added jokingly that he'll dance in the future "for the right price."
Tomorrow night, "Dancing with the Stars"'s coveted disco ball trophy will be awarded to either KRISTI, CRISTIAN or JASON, and tonight, a man who knows what it feels like to win the show is backstage with the finalists! Last season's "Dancing" winner, HELIO CASTRONEVES is getting the scoop on the final three's thoughts on tomorrow's big night, only for ET!
America has voted and CRISTIAN DE LA FUENTE, JASON TAYLOR and KRISTI YAMAGUCHI are the three "Dancing with the Stars" finalists. If Kristi makes it to the final two, it will be the first time in four seasons that a woman has had a shot at winning the disco-ball trophy, and she may just be the one to do it. But first, all three competitors took to the floor for a cha cha face-off.
Tonight's the night that will decide which of the three "Dancing with the Stars" finalists -- JASON TAYLOR, CRISTIAN DE LA FUENTE and KRISTI YAMAGUCHI -- will take home the coveted disco-ball trophy based on their performances on "Dancing with the Stars."
We're backstage with the final four "Dancing" pairs, KRISTI YAMAGUCHI and MARK BALLAS; MARISSA JARET WINOKUR and TONY DOVOLANI; JASON TAYLOR and EDYTA SLIWINSKA; and CRISTIAN DE LA FUENTE and CHERYL BURKE. Hear what the 'Dancing' stars had to say about all their bumps and bruises along the way and see what contestant turned the table on his partner!
Monday night, "Dancing with the Stars" launched its semi-final night of competition with some strict rules: No lifts were allowed and the dancers chose their dances randomly, by drawing them out of a giant disco ball. The dances were dances that they had done before, but with new music and new choreography -- so there was a lot of work involved.
Hollywood.tv parties with "Dancing" stars past and present! JASON TAYLOR, KRISTI YAMAGUCHI, CHERYL BURKE, WAYNE NEWTON, KARINA SMIRNOFF, DEREK HOUGH, LISA RINNA and hubby HARRY HAMLIN all stepped out last night for the DWTS after-party.
"Dancing with the Stars" is down to its final five: KRISTI YAMAGUCHI, JASON TAYLOR, CRISTIAN DE LA FUENTE, MARISSA JARET WINOKUR and MARIO -- and Monday tonight, each competitor had to dance both a ballroom dance and a Latin dance.
The heat was on in the ballroom on Monday night's competition show. "Dancing with the Stars" was down to its Final Six, and each of the six couples still in the running had to perform two dances this week: one ballroom; one Latin.
The competition continued to amp up on Monday night, as the celebs took to the dance floor on ABC's hit "Dancing with the Stars."
JASON TAYLOR and EDYTA SLIWINSKA opened the night with their sultry cha cha. The judges had mixed reviews, granting them a score of 24 out of 30. Judge LEN GOODMAN said, "My heart went out to you, you made me smile, because you were trying to count." Judge BRUNO TONIOLI said he was "flamboyant" and "cheeky" but the "footwork wasn't as good as it could have been." Judge CARRIE ANN INABA, meanwhile, said he had "big man syndrome" and also noted, "You're dancing smaller than you should be."
