Nicole Scherzinger and partner Derek Hough won ABC's Dancing With the Stars tonight, beating out Evan Lysacek and Erin Andrews for the coveted mirror ball trophy.

When Nicole and Derek danced to "Proud Mary” they earned a total of 30 points, but their win doesn't come as much of a surprise, given the fact that Nicole is the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls, which has showcased both her vocal and dancing abilities over the years.

Still, winning a dancing competition is no easy feat, so congrats to her and Derek!
