It’s been one week since the end of Dancing With the Stars, and two weeks after Joanna Krupa was kicked off. So how has she been keeping herself busy? Well, she’s taking part in a PETA campaign and wants to encourage people to never buy puppies and kittens, only adopt. This is mostly in reference to puppy mills and their horrible conditions.

What’s Hot On TV Tonight – Dancing With the Stars Season Finale!
It’s the big night tonight with the performances of the three finalists. For something different tonight, they’re not doing both a ballroom and a Latin, as well as a freestyle.
