Julianne Hough done with "Dancing"

Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before. Julianne Hough is leaving Dancing with the Stars. Sound familiar? That's because she said the same exact thing at the end of last season, but then her cute little booty was back on the hardwood for this season with her boyfriend, Chuck Wicks. Me thinks this time, she's gonna stick to it, though. But have no fear, she's not leaving for good.

I'm not doing next season. I'm gonna take one off. We definitely went further than anticipated. I think he could have made it a little bit further. But you know what? It's the name of the game and it's about fan base and hopefully our country fans will follow us into music.

Her job on DWTS is obviously going to be there when she's ready to return, since she's one of the more popular professional dancers on the show. I think it's a good idea for her to use her success on Dancing right now as a springboard to try and focus more on her music and make a name for herself in that aspect, too. Plus, some of Chuck's fans may end up following her now, too, since they probably scoped him out on Dancing. Good move, Julianne. I approve.

Chuck Wicks booted from "Dancing with the Stars"

Even though they absolutely killed it in their cha-cha on Monday night (to the point that the judges scored them a total of 51 out of 60 for their dances), the fans decided that Chuck Wicks and his partner (and also girlfriend) Julianne Hough should turn in their dancing shoes. They were booted off of Dancing with the Stars last week after what Chuck calls a rally of Melissa Rycroft's fans.

It shows you how many fans Melissa has. I think the team dance did us in, [but] to all the critics that thought we weren't going to last: We did it. Now I'm going to go out on tour and enjoy doing what I love, and that's country music.

I'm actually really surprised that Ty Murray is still on the show. No offense to him, but I just think he moves kinda awkwardly around the dance floor, not to mention that Chuck and Julianne were LOVED by the judges. But hey, that's the way the cookie crumbles I suppose. (Or maybe I should say that's the way the dance floor rotates?)

Julianne Hough wants to marry her boyfriend

Julianne Hough sat down for an interview with People magazine and spilled the beans that she plans on marrying her boyfriend of 5 months, country star Chuck Wicks.

We definitely want to go there. The minute we met it was perfect. The first date we had we both had that feeling like we were going to fall in love with each other.

Okay, talking about marriage 5 months after dating? Sounds like such a lovely 8th grade relationship.

Julianne Hough done with Dancing?

Julianne Hough told AOL TV that she won't be returning for the next season of Dancing with the Stars, and mentioned that she'll be touring next year.

I won't be coming back for the spring season for sure, but I might be coming back for the fall season. I'm actually excited about that. I've been on the show for four seasons straight and in between all that, I went on tour, I recorded an album. It's hard having to squeeze all that in and do a good job at it. I'm going to be working on my next record -- writing, which I didn't have time to do last time. I'm really excited -- I'm going on a big tour next year, which I don't think has been announced yet. It's a pretty big tour and we're about 98.5% sure it's going to happen.

Hmm...a pretty big tour that hasn't been announced yet? I'm going out on a limb and saying she'll be on the 2009 lineup for Countryfest -- someone give us the credit of breaking the story when it's actually confirmed.

Julianne Hough is one tough mother effer

We reported earlier last week that Julianne Hough had to be rushed to the hospital after the live Dancing with the Stars show, but it's been pretty hush-hush about her ever since. Well, we got the skinny for ya right now -- she's been diagnosed with endometriosis (which I believe is a cyst in the ovaries) and has to have her appendix removed later this week.

DESPITE all of that, she kicked ass in Dancing last night with her partner Cody Linley, and said she'll continue to dance away even after her appendix comes out. Chuck Wicks better watch his back, because a determined girl is quite attractive.

Julianne Hough hospitalized

Julianne Hough was brought to the hospital after the Dancing With the Stars live broadcast last night for stomach pains. Apparently she'd had them all day long, but by the time the show rolled around, it was extremely painful. And don't believe what you heard about her collapsing on set, because she didn't. No word yet on what was wrong or if she's even still in the hospital.

Ya know, her boyfriend Chuck Wicks was in the audience. I wonder...pregnancy?

Julianne Hough dating older man

The Dancing With the Stars alum is dating fellow country singer Chuck Wicks, who is 9 years older than her (he's 29, she's 20). She said he's a great guy and she got really lucky.

A guy named Chuck? Really, Julianne? You want an older guy, I turn 25 on September 3rd. And my name isn't Chuck.

Julianne Hough: Dancing onto the country charts

She conquered the dance floor and won two trophies on Dancing With the Stars, and now she's conquering the music charts. Dancer-turned-singer Julianne Hough dropped her self-titled album last month, and that sucka debuted at #1 on the Billboard country chart. She recently sat down with The Boot to chat about her switch from Dancing to music, what kind of songs she wanted to sing on the album, and why she chose country music. Check out the interview here.

I realize I'm usually funny in posts, but this girl is girl-next-door-gorgeous, so I've been a little sidetracked.
