Julianne Hough Laughs Off Seacrest Romance Rumours

Filed under: American Idol,Dancing With The Stars,Julianne Hough,Ryan Seacrest

Reality TV-turned-country music star Julianne Hough has dismissed reports she’s dating Ryan Seacrest – insisting she’s only ever met the American Idol host in a professional capacity.

The Dancing with the Stars beauty has been linked to a string of suitors since her year-long relationship with country singer Chad Wicks ended in November, including Kings of Leon rocker Jared Followill and comic Dane Cook.

Hough was recently rumored to be romancing Seacrest after the pair was spotted enjoying a dinner date.

But she has laughed off the speculation – revealing they were joined by her manager during their mealtime meeting.

She says,

“It’s so crazy! I keep hearing these rumors, but I don’t know (Seacrest). I know him from interviews. We’ve had lunch together with people – my manager, and stuff like that.”

Julianne Hough & Chuck Wicks Split

Filed under: Julianne Hough,Split

Julianne Hough and her country music cutie, Chuck Wicks, have split, according to several reports.

“This was mutual,” a source said of the break-up. “They needed some time apart.”

Julianne, 21, met Chuck, 30, while on tour with Brad Paisley in 2008, and the pretty singer said their first date was very memorable.

“Our first date – it was sushi and then a walk somewhere,” Julianne told Access in 2008. “We can’t tell you the rest ‘cause that’s kind of a personal thing, but… We’ve got all these sentimental things from our first date that are like, kind of everywhere.”

After their first romantic outing, as the tour continued, the two seemed to live out of each other’s pockets.

“We would go on dates everyday ‘cause we would be on a new city,” Julianne recounted. “We would go hiking, we would go biking, we would go do all these different things — that’s the adventurous side of him… We got to see like four different sides of each other every single day that usually would take people six months, eight months to really get to know.”

All sounds so optimistic, wonder what happened?

Filed under: Chace Crawford,Julianne Hough,Kenny Ortega

The upcoming remake of classic 1984 dance movie Footloose has been thrown into jeopardy after director Kenny Ortega quit the project, according to reports.

The High School Musical filmmaker was said to have been unhappy with the tone and budget of the update and decided he no longer wanted to be involved in its production, reports trade paper Daily Variety.

A spokesperson for Paramount Pictures has refused to confirm speculation about Ortega’s reasons for leaving, but hinted his recent work on the Michael Jackson movie This Is It has taken its toll on the director.

He says,

“Coming off of the extraordinary project, Michael Jackson’s This Is It, director Kenny Ortega has decided it is premature for him to commit to his next film and will not be moving forward with Footloose as previously reported.”

Filming is scheduled to begin in March, with Chace Crawford and Julianne Hough set to play the lead roles.

Filed under: Cher,Christina Aguilera,Julianne Hough,Movie News

Former Dancing With the Stars beauty and two-time pro champion Julianne Hough, who has turned country music princess, has begun rehearsals for Burlesque starring Christina Aguilera and Caesars Palace headliner Cher. It’s the movie debut for our former Las Vegas Academy student.

Christina also makes her long-awaited silver screen debut as an actress in the story of a Hollywood burlesque club owned by Cher. Julianne plays one of the other dancers all seeking fame and fortune in Tinseltown.

Burlesque is directed by Steve Antin, who is the brother of Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin, the producer of Matt Goss Live From Las Vegas at the Palms, and Jonathan Antin of Blow Out. I’m told that Burlesque will not be anything like Showgirls, which was assailed by critics and won more Razzies than any other movie bomb since Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman’s Ishtar — remember the Duck?!

“The film is sexy, but you will not have stripping. There’s no cheap lingerie shots, so don’t expect G-strings and pasties. It’s about female empowerment, ” one insider said.

Also starring in the flick, which will feature songs from Cher and Christina, are Twilight’s Cam Gigandet, Kristen Bell and Stanley Tucci. Cameras roll later this month, and the film is set for release on Thanksgiving 2010.
