True, Hines Ward took home the "coveted mirror-ball trophy" (as Tom Bergeron always absurdly calls it) and Kirstie Alley placed a surprising second.

Like last season's hugely likable Kyle Massey (among others), Kane went from Disney Channel obscurity to primetime network stardom thanks to a sparkling personality and slick dancing skills. Here's hoping she can keep the career momentum going. She's already launched a new website, ChelseaKane.com, which smoothly integrates music, style and nightlife tips with social networking. This girl's got moves.
