Another season of Dancing with the Stars came to an entertaining end this week.
And, when all was said, done, juked and jived, former Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor Alfonso Ribeiro was voted the latest champion, taking home the mirror ball trophy with partner Witney Carson.
Based on the history of winners through this competition's storied history, Ribeiro was a surprise victor. He's not an ex-athlete. He hasn't won a single medal in any Olympic Games.
But one should never underestimate the power of The Carlton.

Dancing with the Stars: All the Winners!

1. Kelly Monaco and Alec Mazo

The soap star captured the first-ver mirror ball, while Mazo never again finished higher than eighth on Dancing with the Stars.

Where, however, does Alfonso Ribeiro rank among all-time Dancing with the Stars first place finishers?

Kendall Jenner has gone all Mean Girls on her critics.
The half-sister of Khloe, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian has filmed a video for Dazed magazine in which she takes a literal page from that beloved comedy.
In the following footage, we see Kendall jotting down insults from her critics, such as those who think she's only a model due to her family connections and those who think she once "made out with a hot dog."
It's a pretty creative way of getting back at the haters, we must admit. Take a look now:

Kendall Jenner

Kendall Jenner will never be a real model... Kendall Jenner is a spoiled brat... Kendall Jenner is ugly, evil and greedy... It’s crazy to think North West can already read better than Kendall Jenner.

In October, Shia LaBeouf acknowledges to Ellen DeGeneres that he's done some dumb things.
But the actor apparently isn't done saying some dumb things. Some really, really, really, REALLY dumb things.
In a recent email interview with Dazed and Confused, LaBeouf claimed that a woman raped him in mid-February during the actor’s bizarre #IAMSORRY art exhibition in Los Angeles.

"One woman who came with her boyfriend, who was out side the door when this happened, whipped my legs for 10 minutes and then striped my clothing and proceeded to rape me," LaBeouf says of an incident that took place while he stood silent with a paper bag over his head.
The moronic actor them says this woman "walked out with her lipstick smudged to her awaiting boyfriend who i image was quite hurt by it. All this happened in front of hundreds of people."
LaBeouf was arrested earlier this year for disorderly conduct and reportedly checked into rehab this summer.

Roseanne Barr spent her Thanksgiving this year backtracking from a joke most Twitter followers believe went way too far.
Late Wednesday night, the comedian posted a photo of her swollen/ravaged face online, quipping that she just "got in a tussle w bill cosby" and "U shoyld see that mfer.”
The former sitcom star later deleted the picture and the caption and explained that the following image was due to a "chemical peel" she got to "look more sexier."

Barr, of course, was originally joking about the ongoing Bill Cosby scandal in which that legendary actor finds himself at the center of numerous sexual assault allegations.

As previously documented, a number of cats and dogs celebrated Thanksgiving this year by eating WAY too much.
By they weren't alone.
Celebrities from all walks of entertaining also gathered with family and friends for this festive occasion, as one famous singer built a snowman with his pastor's daughter.

Do you wanna build a snowman? Justin Bieber sure did, with his pastor's daughter on Thanksgiving 2014.

Another enjoyed himself some deep fried turkey, while a comedic actor and a dramatic actress both rooted on their favorite football teams.
Elsewhere, no one wanted to join Howie Mandel for a meal... Kelly Osbourne watched The Twilight Zone... Jennifer Lopez bowed her head in prayer... and at least one comedian was very confused about what to eat on Turkey Day.

Thanksgiving isn't just a day to watch football, reunite with relatives and cite the 10 biggest turkeys in Hollywood.

From stuffing to mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie to apple pie to cherry pie and everything in between, America came together as one nation yesterday and stuffed their collective faces.

1. Too... Much... Turkey...

Wake me up when it's time for dessert!

But it wasn't just human beings who went up multiple waist sizes in one afternoon.
It was also their cats and dogs, as most pets were fed extra table scraps or rewarded with their own bowl of festive pickings. The result? A food coma that will likely last all weekend long.
Above, we've posted 17 photos of adorable animals who look like you probably feel today. Click around, smile at their expressions and take solace: you are far from alone.

As previously reported, Scott Stapp is broke.
The Creed singer opened up about his dire situation via a strange video on Facebook Wednesday, telling fans he’s been under a “vicious attack” by the IRS, which has frozen his bank accounts and left him “penniless.”
Stapp asserts that money has been stolen from him and insisted in the footage that he's "sober," emphasizing that "truth will prevail."

Scott Stapp: I'm Broke!

Yesterday, meanwhile, Stapp conducted a radio interview and claimed his 2012 criticism of President Obama during a Fox News segment is why the government has made him a target.
"I believe that the IRS situation is definitely a result of me expressing my dissatisfaction with President Obama," he said. "Absolutely. 100 percent."

Ryan Knight, a former reality star best known for his role on The Real World: New Orleans in 2010, passed away this morning.
He was 29 years old.

According to friends of Knight (per TMZ), Ryan was out parting with a group of people on Wednesday night.
He ended up back at a friend’s home and was discovered dead this morning, seemingly having choked on his own vomit.

Miley Cyrus celebrated Thanksgiving this year in the most Miley Cyrus of ways.
The 22-year old took to Instagram to post a number of selfies and inspirational quotes, expressing gratitude for all she has while, of course, cursing.
"How did I get chosen to be the one with this life?" the artist captioned the following picture. "Feeling f--king thankful & it's not the season."

Cyrus didn’t get drunk or dress up as a taco for the holiday, but she did continue.
"It's going to sleep in silence nothing but these baby angels and a book after a long loud day filled with making what I love," she wrote. "Alone time but I'm not alone! I'll take a soul over a voice box forever."
