Last night, Dancing With the Stars sweetheart Kelly Osbourne brought a James Franco-sized dose of meta performance art to part one of the season finale. During her freestyle routine, the star hustled and cha-cha-ed to "I Will Survive" before taking a devastating tumble, but Osbourne quickly rallied by picking herself off the floor and touch-dancing her way through the rest of the number as her family cheered on. Her fall most likely knocked her out of the running for first place, but Osbourne can sit back and lick her wounds as fellow survivor Whitney Houston takes the stage to perform "Million Dollar Bill" and her classic "I Wanna Dance With Somebody."
