"DANCING WITH THE STARS"

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The season finale of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" is tonight. And, Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins seems to be the one to beat. She earned a perfect score of 60 for her two dances on last night's show. Celebrity contestants actor William Levy (LEH'-vee) and NFL star Donald Driver finished one point behind. Tonight, the finalists will perform one last routine. Judges' scores will be combined with viewer votes to determine who wins and takes home the mirrorball trophy.
