He couldn't stop crying. He jumped into the arms of Jackson, who lifted the 5-ft. 4-in. prodigy over his shoulder. "I've probably got Henry by 50, 60 pounds, to be kind to myself," says Jackson.

One thing that can be said for Stacy's searches is that they have sustained after her 2006 appearance on the show, more than doubling the volume of searches she experienced before taking up ballroom dancing and at peak times increasing over 1700%. With search terms as a proxy...
