Even if dancing contestant Marissa Jaret Winokur doesn't take home the trophy on this season's "Dancing With the Stars" show, the Broadway star still views herself a winner. She and husband Judah Miller, writer of "King of the Hill," are expecting their first child.

Winokur, 35, the former star of the Broadway musical "Hairspray," survived cervical cancer seven years ago. A surrogate mother is carrying their baby and the pregnancy is said to be five months along.

According to People.com, Winokur said, "[The year] 2008 is beginning to be the best year of my life. I don't care if I win or lose 'Dancing With the Stars' because I now when the show is over I will have the beset prize - a baby. After cancer I never thought I'd have a baby. This is truly the best time of my life."
