Scotty then walked back on the stage and hugged all the other season 12 finalists and told co-finalist Lauren Alaina, “I love you baby!” SWEET!
Scotty ended the night like any shocked and thrilled Idol winner should: Trying to eat the confetti pieces falling from the ceiling..Congrats Scotty!

The winner of Dancing with the Stars, Hines Ward, sent this message via his Facebook page to his fans:
“OMG! I can’t believe it! First I want to say THANK YOU to all my fans and Steeler Nation, Bulldog Nation, and HineKym Nation for voting us to the Mirror Ball Trophy victory. Kym (Johnson) and I worked our butts off in this competition. Hats off to Kirstie/Maks and Chelsea/Mark each well deserving of the Mirror Ball. But you fans pushed us over the top. Kym and I are so thankful. Pittsburgh is back on the map! Hope I represented well. I still can’t believe it! Hines”
Here is what Hines told the LA Times:
“I knew Kym was gonna try to do all that she could to win for us [despite injured neck], for me. I felt good. I don’t have any problems with my hands and I knew I could hold her up with lifts and not let her fall.”
“I mean, I use my hands for a living. If you remember, when Kym got injured she was not in the air. She was already on the ground. So I felt OK with lifting her, ’cause I had no plans to ever let her fall. And I felt good doing them with her.”
“That, along with winning the Super Bowl MVP is the ultimate goal both individually and as a team. It says we are good at what we do as professionals. Winning the mirror ball trophy symbolizes overcoming my fear of the unknown.”
“It says that I was able to excel at something I knew nothing about, to rise above difficulty and take risks. Both prove hard work pays off. Both are special.”
Hate to break it to you guys, but Kim Kardashian is no longer single. The 30-year old reality star is now engaged to New Jersey Nets star Kris Humphries.
Humphries, 26, seems to be a bit of a romantic. He got down on bended knee in her Beverly Hills home to propose with rose petals all over the ground spelling out, “WILL YOU MARRY ME?”
Kardashian, who has been dating Humphries for only six months, told People: “I didn’t expect this at all. I was in such shock. I never thought it would happen at home, and I never thought now.”
Humphries gave Kardashian a custom-designed, 20.5-carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond ring.
“Kris really didn’t want a big celebration, but he had jokingly told my mom he’d be fine if there were mini-horses there. Later that night at the party, my mom brought out two mini-horses, covered in glitter, for us! It was hysterical!”
Season seven American Idol winner David Cook performed a cover of the 1985 song by Simple Minds, Don’t You (Forget About Me) at the American Idol season ten finale Tuesday May 24, 2011. The song has also been the boot song once the contestants were voted off all season.
Lauren chose to re-sing Flat on the Floor. Her voice did not sound any worse for the wear. She strutted down the stairs confidently shaking her hips and was full of sass. Watch her performance video below:
The youngest American Idol match up took place Tuesday May 24 when 16-year old Lauren Alaina and 17-year old Scotty McCreery went head-to-head for the Idol crown.
Scotty won the coin toss and like the gentleman that he is, he deferred to Lauren. Lauren chose to go second. So, Scotty opened the competition and sang Gone to represent his favorite song of the season.
Favorite Song of the Season Round:
Scotty worked the crowd like a seasoned pro on his replay rendition of Gone, starting his performance in the aisle and high-fiving the audience as he walked towards the stage.
Finalists’ Singles Round:
Should Scotty win, his first single will be Love You This Big. Jimmy Iovine introduced McCreery’s single, praising his confidence. As usual, the Idol’s first single does not suit the contestant’s voice.
