American Idol Finale was full of shocker this Wednesday! Season 11's finalists, Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips, both had a big night. They heard performances by some of the biggest names in music today - Rihanna, Reba McEntire, and Judge Jennifer Lopez.

"After a record breaking 132 million votes," Seacrest said at the end of a two-hour broadcast, "the winner of American Idol season 11 is ... Phillip Phillips!"

This is not all. Before announcing the results Ryan Seacrest acknowledged former contestants, including the couple whom PEOPLE first reported moved in together in January.

Seacrest called them both to the stage and said, "dim the lights," like he does at every results show. As the elimination night music played, Young said, "This has always been home to us and I felt that this would be the perfect place to ask a simple question."

Then he got down on one knee and continued: "We have conquered Broadway together. We have created our new music together. We have an amazing group of people around us. And with the help of David Webb jewelry I have a way to make this last forever. Are you ready?

"I love you to death. You're my best friend. I want to make this last forever and I will do anything in my power to have the most ... amazing life together if you will have me. Diana Nicole DeGarmo, will you marry me?"

A tearful DeGarmo nodded and said yes.

"I'm so speechless right now," she said with a new ring on her finger. "Wow, babe, you picked a good one! My makeup's running."

Wow! What a romantic proposal!

After seemingly endless weeks of grueling rehearsals and memorable performances three couples - Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas; Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd; and William Levy and Cheryl Burke - were left vying for the coveted mirror-ball trophy during two nights of competition.

And the winners are ... Donald and Peta!

"Amazing!" Donald shouted when asked how he felt by host Tom Bergeron, who handed the couple the mirror-ball trophy as confetti fell in the ballroom and his former competitors from throughout the season congratulated them.

Katherine and Mark finished in second place, and William and Cheryl landed in third. "It was an amazing experience," William said. "I'm going to miss all of you."

"Thank you so much Mark," Katherine told her partner. "It's been an absolute dream." "I had a wonderful time working with Katherine," he said. "She's an angel."

For the final performance of the season, Donald and Peta did crowd-pleasing cha cha that earned - you guessed it! - another perfect 30. Len offered the NFL star this compliment: "We've had some great footballers on the show over the years," he said. "My feeling is you're the best we've had."

The expectedly explosive fifth and final season of "Breaking Bad" will premiere Sunday, July 15, at 10 p.m., starting with eight all-new episodes and ending with eight more next summer. Eight episodes of Bad's supersized fifth and last season, currently filming on location in Albuquerque, will air on Sundays this summer, with the series' final eight episodes following in summer 2013.

The highly anticipated news has been met with ecstatic reactions among the show's obsessive fanbase, particularly via a few dedicated celebrity fans like "Parks and Recreation" star and general funnyman Aziz Ansari. "BREAKING BAD IS BACK JULY 15TH! F--- YES," he tweeted, an enthusiastic reaction that fellow fan John Legend shared and then expressed with a retweet of Ansari's excited sentiments.

In addition to the "Breaking Bad" news, AMC also announced the debut of its newest unscripted series, "Small Town Security," on Sunday, July 15, at 11 p.m. ET and the season-two premiere of the epic western "Hell on Wheels" Sunday, August 12, at 9 p.m. ET.

Jaleel White and partner Kym Johnson got their groove back with a crowd-pleasing cha cha on Dancing with the Stars Monday - but some other contestants struggled to keep up with the competition. Gladys Knight's rumba Monday night just didn't have the smooth moves of the Temptations or the rhythm of Smokey Robinson. So she and partner Tristan MacManus ended up as one of the final bottom couples, along with Roshon Fegan and Chelsie Hightower, whose rumba wasn't much better.

Gladys and Tristan are heading home.

The singer and her partner faced off in a dance duel with Roshon and Chelsie. After both couples performed a jive, the judges voted. Although Carrie Ann Inaba chose to save Gladys, both Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli picked Roshon.

"I am just so amazed at this journey. It's been absolutely extraordinary. I learned so many things ... I'm just overjoyed," Gladys said after hearing the news that her time on the show had ended.

Of the remaining contestants, who'll be back on Monday to perform once again, she added, "They are already stepping up way, way, way beyond anything that's ever been on this show."
