Everyone was shocked when Shawn Johnson was announced as the winner of Dancing with the Stars on Tuesday night over Gilles Marini, but no one was more surprised than Shawn herself.

“We hoped it’d be our names, but we kind of thought Gilles had it.  But we’ve come a long way and worked really hard,” said Johnson during a Wednesday morning appearance on Live with Regis and Kelly.

When asked if having a gymnastics background was an advantage or disadvantage, the tiny powerhouse had this to say:

“I would say [it was] a disadvantage, just because I’ve had 16 years of gymnastics experience and habits behind me,” she explained.  “They hurt the dancing side of it.” … “I think in gymnastics, they’re trained to be so focused and stern,” he said.  “In dancing, you’ve got to bring out that personality.  So I kind of broken every gymnastic rule there is.”

Congrats to Shawn… It’s awesome to see a young person with so much determination and class.

Robert O’Ryan- the lunatic pedifile who was arrested for stalking Shawn Johnson- will have to stay away from her for at least three years, per a newly granted restraining order.

The request was granted by a judge in a Los Angeles court on Tuesday with the 17-year old Johnson’s parents present along with their attorney Laura Stone, according to Access Hollywood. Robert O’Ryan, the 34-year-old alleged stalker, was not present and remains in custody.

“The intent of the order is to have Shawn and her family be protected from this person,” Stone told Access. “The next thing is going to be a preliminary hearing in the criminal case [against O'Ryan].”

Hopefully the restraining order will never be an issue because he will be locked up. Psychos like that can’t mingle with normal society… I certainly don’t want him anywhere near MY daughter!!!

Robert O’Ryan was arrested and served a restraining order after trying to break onto the set of Dancing with the Stars to meet Shawn Johnson.

According to court documents that accompanied the restraining order application, Robert O’Ryan was stopped by security at CBS Studios, the lot where Dancing With The Stars  is produced, after he jumped on a fence on Monday afternoon. When the police searched his car they found a loaded shotgun and handgun, as well as duct tape and love letters.

Robert O’Ryan, is being held on $35,000 bail on suspicion of carrying a loaded firearm in public.

The records state that he told security guards and police that he packed up all his belongings and traveled to California from Florida in the hopes of being with Shawn Johnson. He believes that Shawn Johnson speaks to him personally through the television set and through ESP and that they will have a child together, he stated he would be with her no matter what.

Shawn Johnson is “in fear of her life,” her parents’ attorney wrote in a restraining order application. The restraining order which was issued on Wednesday had sought protection for Shawn Johnson, her mother, her father and her Dancing With The Stars  pro partner Mark Ballas. A hearing on whether to grant a lengthy restraining order will be held April 14, 2009.

Wow, what a nutjob! Poor pint-sized Shawn is probably scared to death! Thank goodness it was nipped in the bud pretty quickly.

Shawn Johnson captured the heart of every American watching the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. Looking at her you would think she is a tiny little teenager, but deep down she is a headstrong, determined fighter who never gives up. I was beyond pumped when I heard she would be competing on the spring season of Dancing with the Stars. That chick has major athleticism and great rhythm- two huge advantages she will have over many of the other contestants. My guess is that she will make it really far in the competition, much like fellow gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi. Here’s some background on the power house gymnast:

At just 17 years old, Shawn Johnson is the youngest competitor ever on “DWTS.” But age won’t be a factor for the Olympic gymnast, who already proved to the world she was a top-tier, world-class competitor when she brought home a gold and silver medal in the Summer 2008 Olympic games.

Johnson is the gold medalist for women’s balance beam and a silver medalist in the individual all-around. Though she is in the midst of her junior year of high school in Des Moines, Iowa, Johnson has shown she can balance almost anything.

She may be the youngest, but she will be one of the most mature having worker so much harder in life than 99% of people her age. I am rooting- and voting- for you, Shawn!!!

Shawn Johnson finally took home a gold for some killer work on her best apparatus, the balance beam. That girl can land on the four-inch wide piece of wood like nobody’s business.

“To finally get the gold on my final routine in my Olympic career – er, experience, it’s the perfect ending,” Shawn said. “It means more to me than any medal ever could.”

After getting screwed in the individual all-around competition, she went on to also take silver on floor. Though she was amazingly technical, the Romanian who won that competition totally deserved it. She was both technical and artistic- a perfect blend of Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin. But the beam is where Shawn finally got to shine. Two girls fell, several bobbled, but Nastia and Shawn rocked it. Though Liukin’s execution scores were better than hers, Johnson’s start value was a whopping 7.0 which gave her a total score of 16.225 over Liukin’s 16.025. Shawn had her gold.

“Coming in, I really wanted it,” Shawn said. “But I mean, I didn’t care what I got. Any medal or no medal at all, I just wanted to come out here and give the best I could.

“To end with a gold, though, really made me feel – proud.”

Shawn will go home to Iowa at the end of these Games with four medals. One gold (beam), three silvers (team, individual all-around, floor).

Nastia will head home to Texas with five medals. One gold (the individual all-around), three silvers (team, uneven bars, beam), one bronze (floor). She tied the U.S. gymnastics record of five Olympic medals at one Games, set by Mary Lou Retton in 1984 and duplicated by Shannon Miller in Barcelona in 1992. She also now holds bragging rights in her own house – with one more medal than her dad and coach, Valeri, who won four medals in Seoul in 1988 while competing for the Soviet Union.

It’s unbelievably obvious that these Olympic judges preferred Nastia’s artistic style to Shawn’s technical prowess, but Shawn never seemed to let that bother her. She went out there, kicked butt and sucked up the bad scores, grinning through it all. She’s one mature 16 year old high schooler.
