On Wednesday night's finale of NBC's "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here," actor Lou Diamond Phillips was named winner.

Lou bested wrestler Torrie Wilson and former basketball pro John Salley in the finale, taking the crown for his preferred charity, the Art Has Heart Foundation.

The non-profit provides college scholarships to low and moderate income high school students who have been negatively affected by geography, family circumstances or other challenges. To find out how you can help, visit www.arthasheart.org.

Controversial stars Heidi and Spencer Pratt came back for the show's finale. Heidi told the show's hosts that she feels better after being evacuated from the Costa Rican camp due to an ulcer. "The doctor says that I'll be ok if I stay out of the jungle," she said cheerfully.

  • i thought snjaya would have won, seeing that he is jungle boy. you notice how he looks like a young 'George of the jungle' or 'tarzan'. But any way, congrats Lou, we are proud of you.
