What does one do after spending about 14 weeks working on Dancing With the Stars?

Get some much needed rest.

"I definitely need a break to allow my ankle to heal properly for about a couple of weeks," Mya told me earlier today during a break from rehearsing tonight's finale.

Mya and partner Dmitry Chaplin proved last night why they are this season's best dancers. They nabbed two perfect scores for their paso doble and the megamix, and a 27 for their Hairspray freestyle.

And Mya is also fun to talk to—no matter how tired she may be. I'm going to miss waking up to her voice every Tuesday morning. Read on for the last of our exclusive weekly chats.

Move over, Kim Zolciak!

There's another blond Housewife who wants in on the music biz.

When I caught up with Gretchen Rossi of the Real Housewives of Orange County at the American Music Awards, she told me she had a very good reason for being there...

It's happy feet time!

With just a couple of days to go until the disco ball trophy is handed out on Dancing With the Stars, we thought we'd check in with some DWTS vets to find out what they think will go down when Mya, Donny and Kelly waltz as if their lives depended on it…

Mya definitely wants to make it to next week's Dancing With the Stars finals, but she's also kinda looking forward to the day when it all comes to an end.

"I'm very nervous because if I make it to the finals, we have four dances next week," Mya told me earlier today. "It's going to be another hell week, and our bodies are so broken down."

But not so broken down that it prevented her from coming in first place last night with an 87 out of a possible 90 between three different dances. But the best part has to be that she and her partner, Dmitry Chaplin, have really won over Mr. Grumpy Len Goodman.

Read on to find out what Mya thinks about Len admiring her backside, the possibility of Dmitry going completely shirtless and why she needs to watch the Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Bridget Marquardt may not be flying to Indianapolis when Kendra Wilkinson gives birth next month, but that doesn't mean she's not thinking about her.

"I bought her so much stuff," Bridget told us at the recent Nu Pop Movement watch launch in L.A. "Tons of stuff. From the stroller to the car seat to toys and clothes and diapers and everything. So I think she has everything she needs from me."

Except a certain holiday outfit…

Robin Leventhal knows she wasn't exactly the most liked contestant on this season's Top Chef.

"They hated me," Robin says of her fellow cheftestants. "I think they just wanted to hate me."

Yikes.

There's more. Read on to find out what she says about being eliminated last night for a—gulp—simple panna cotta, Eli's Circus Circus disaster and her not-so-pleasant reunion with Mike I.

Sure, Mya and Dmitry Chaplin grabbed a perfect 30 with their '70s-themed samba on last night's Dancing With the Stars, but the singer says Donny Osmond was the real star of the night.

"Donny and Kym Johnson rocked the house," Mya told me earlier this morning. "It was hilarious with Donny and his Jheri curl. He was like Michael Jackson, George Michael, Prince and Boy George all wrapped up in one."

But Chaplin's mustache also made quite the impression. Read on for more of this week's installment of my exclusive morning-after chats with Ms. Mya…

Drew Barrymore and Justin Long are so totally square.

The maybe-couple had brunch together yesterday at Square One in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. "They were by themselves for a while and both sitting on the same side of the table and then two women joined them," a fellow diner says.

Speaking of Mr. Long...

Khloé Kardashian isn't the only member of her family facing weighty issues.

Big sis Kourtney Kardashian, 30, admits she's nervous about gaining too many pounds during pregnancy. "I weigh myself every day," she told us at the Kardashian Charity Knock Out event in L.A. earlier this week. "I've gained 26 pounds since getting pregnant, except I gained three pounds since yesterday."

Being eight months pregnant and understandably bigger than usual hasn't stopped the E! reality starlet from conquering a red carpet in heels. But it sounds like Monday's event could be Kourt's last until after she gives birth...

Maksim Chmerkovskiy and his then fiancé Karina Smirnoff made their Broadway debut last summer in Burn the Floor.

But Chmerkovskiy says producers have only asked him to return, which he'll do right after Thanksgiving.

The hunky hoofer says there's no way he would have gone back if Smirnoff was part of the deal. The two called off their engagement just days before they danced together on the Emmys in September.

"I wouldn't do it if she was asked back," Chmerkovskiy told us last night at the Sony Cierge event at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Instead, another one of DWTS' pros will be joining him...

Is Khloé Kardashian already too comfortable with new hubby and notorious sugar junkie Lamar Odom?

The 25-year-old E! reality starlet shed 25 pounds prior to tying the knot with her basketball beau Sept. 27. But since meeting Lamar, Khloé has found it tougher to stay focused.

"I stopped my QuickTrim diet for a little bit around the time I met Lamar," Khloé told us Tuesday at the Kardashian Charity Knock Out event at the Commerce Casino outside L.A. "I was so in love, and I was at my perfect weight, and I didn't want to do it anymore. Since marriage, I've gained about five pounds."

But Khloé assures us she's ready to get serious again...

It seems Len Goodman has it out for Mya and Dmitry Chaplin. Week after week, the resident grumpy judge of Dancing With the Stars always finds something wrong with their performance.

But Mya isn't letting it get to her. "If I fell on my face I might be embarrassed, but I'm happy and proud of myself for coming this far," she told me this morning. "I don't care what other people have to say."

Besides, Mr. Goodman isn't Mya's biggest concern right now—the flu is! It's already struck Derek Hough, Mark Ballas and Lacey Schwimmer. Donnie Osmond also talked last night about feeling a bit under the weather.

Yikes!

Find out what Mya has to say about staying healthy, meeting Cloris Leachman and next week's plan to perform two dances.
