We love Julianne Hough.
No, seriously, we really, really love Julianne Hough.
But we can't defend the Dancing with the Stars professional for this outfit. Call us crazy, but we'd rather see Hough in nothing at all...
Julianne Hough's foray into the world of country music has already paid dividends with a number-one ranked album. Her self-titled CD, Julianne Hough, hit the top of the charts in May.
Now, the new career for the Dancing with the Stars professional - don't worry, she'll return to the series this fall - is paying off in personal ways, as well:
Hough is dating fellow country crooner Chuck Wicks.
"It's very difficult to date – I just got kind of lucky!" Hough said to People Magazine about Wicks, who she got to know when the two joined Brad Paisley on tour this summer. "He's just a great guy! He's awesome and really, really talented."
Chuck Wicks better treat Julianne Hough well. We've got our eyes on him! (And on her, of course. Yowza!)
Countless rumors about which celebrities will appear on Dancing with the Stars this season have been floating around. But here's one return we can confirm:
Julianne Hough will be back on the show!
The 19-year old beauty released her first self-titled country album earliet this year. It debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's country album list and No. 3 on the Hot 200 albums list.
Still, Hough won't hang up her Dancing with the Stars just yet.
Breathe easy, guys. Julianne Hough is coming back to Dancing with the Stars.
"Julianne will come back on the show, and she's going to be able to sing on the show," said Kim DelGrosso, creative director of Orem's Center Stage dance studio, the performing arts center that ABC has drawn a number of professional dancers from for the series.
Derek Hough, Julianne's brother, will also return for the upcoming season. It begins on September 24.
Kim Kardashian? Dan Quayle?
Think again, says the gorgeous Julianne Hough of Dancing with the Stars, who has no reservations about giving her opinion on who she'd like to see on next season's cast. Her first choice ...
How about country legend George Strait!
"I'd like to see a country artist get out there and dance," she said at an event to celebrate her new Juicy Fruit Jingle held at Nokia Theater in NYC. "They're really not known for their dancing skills."
Another option? Former American Idol contestant and current country artist Kellie Pickler, who's friends with Julianne Hough!
"I told her I thought it would be fun," Kellie said. "It's only a couple of months. It's not like you're signing on for the rest of your life."
Julianne Hough might be a popular celebrity. But she had no idea why so many people left messages of congratulations on her phone last week.
"I was like, 'Congratulations for what?' " Hough told People Magazine from Morristown, Ohio, where she was due to perform with Brad Paisley, Jewel and Chuck Wick.
Therefore, when Hough's publicist, informed the 20-year-old dancer/singer that she was nominated for outstanding choreography for Dancing with the Stars, Julianne was shocked.
"I'm nominated with some of the best choreographers out there," Hough said. "I mean, Kenny Ortega did Newsies and High School Musical, and then there's all the So You Think You Can Dance choreographers... I feel completely blessed to be in their company. It's incredible."
It's also well-deserved. Congratulations!
Julianne Hough is beautiful, talented.
Julianne Hough is more than just a beautiful face.
She's also more than an impressive dancer.
Indeed, the Dancing with the Stars professional is now a successful singer! Her self-titled debut album has landed at number-three on Billboard's The Billboard 200 and at number-one on the Top Country album sales charts after selling 67,000 copies in its first week of release.
The CD also represents the highest country debut for any new artist since 2006.
"Country music has always been my passion," said Hough. "Having the opportunity to make a record in Nashville and then getting to share that with the world is beyond my wildest imagination."
Moreover, Hough's single "That Song In My Head" climbed three spots from No. 32 to No. 29 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart.
"There are so many people to thank for helping me achieve this dream," said Hough. "From my family, the writers and musicians, and to everyone at Dancing with the Stars."
What the heck, we'll take some credit, too! We have been talking up Julianne for months now. You're welcome, honey!
Sorry, Jason Taylor and Cristian de la Fuente. You may have a legion of fans, but Julianne Hough isn't one of them.
"I'm really rooting for Kristi Yamaguchi," Hough told Entertainment Tonight when asked who her favorite remaining contestant on Dancing with the Stars was. "I think she's phenomenal and that she deserves to win. She just has the most consistency throughout the whole show."
Meanwhile, since her elimination on the show, Hough has been busy promoting her self-titled debut album, which will be released tomorrow.
"I'm so excited. I can't wait for everybody to hear it," the beauty said. "Everybody knows me as a dancer and doesn't really know that I've gone through so many experiences in my life, even though I'm 19. So with those experiences come great songs -- and passion and emotion through the songs. It's going to be a whole new side that people get to see of me."
We understand this headline is about as ground breaking as announcing that photos of Deelishis nude are vomit-inducing.
Still, Maxim has reminded us of just how gorgeous Julianne Hough is by ranking her at the 30th most beautiful woman in the world for the magazine's annual poll.
Take a look at the photo below, however. Might this Dancing with the Stars beauty be ranked 29 spots too low?
Julianne Hough is considered, by Maxim, to be the 30th hottest woman on the planet. Where would you rank her?
Julianne Hough, the gorgeous two-time winner of Dancing with the Stars, will sing the national anthem at this year's Indianapolis 500.
Hough, of course, won last season's competition with Helio Castroneves - and he just happens to be a two-time Indy 500 winning driver. She also plans to sing a few songs from her debut country album, which will be released May 20.
"I've never been to the race, and it will give me a chance to cheer on my friend and dancing partner, Helio Castroneves," Hough said.
The Indianapolis 500 is scheduled for May 25.
While Julianne Hough might be a Dancing with the Stars champion, there's one dance this beauty won't go through with: the horizontal mambo.
We're talking about straight up, boning, people!
Indeed, the insanely good looking Hough claims she's a virgin, which might explain why she split with fiance Zack Wilson last year. For how long can a guy be teased?!?
"I want to be with that special person," Julianne says in the new issue of CosmoGIRL! "I think to have sex before marriage is an individual [decision] ... [waiting] will strengthen that relationship.
Hough added that she isn't judging those that do engage in pre-marital sex (rest easy, Paris Hilton!), "but I think when you say no, down the line, it will be a better decision."
"I tried to go out and mingle with people in the industry and date people, but I felt I was different than most of them," Hough says of her difficult dating. "I don't drink, smoke or do drugs, so those things immediately separate me. It's all very enticing, though."
