  • Julianne Hough Enlisting Help of Fans to Choose Her Wedding Dress

    Julianne Hough is one very busy lady. She spends lots of time preparing for and appearing on Dancing With the Stars each week. On top of that she has her own lifestyle blog. That’s why she’s decided to enlist the creativity of her fans to help with her wedding.

    In her blog on Wednesday, Julianne Hough asked a very important question of fans in the title of her post.

    What’s My Bridal Style?

    The Dancing With the Stars judge posted five different wedding gown selections, and she’s asking fans to decide which one is the best style for her to wear on her wedding day to Brooks Laich.

    “I hope you have as much fun checking these out as I did throwing it all together. And please–I want your honest opinion!” Julianne Hough wrote. “What kind of bride do YOU think I should be? Which is your favorite?? Help!”

    It’s abundantly clear that Julianne Hough can’t decide between the five wedding gowns she posted.

    “When it comes to style I find myself fitting into all of these categories–it just depends on what day it is!” she says.

    Which one of the five dresses posted do you think would best suit Julianne Hough? She could wear a burlap bag and she’d still be a beautiful bride.

    Surely she won’t do that, however. Of course she wants the perfect wedding gown for her big day.

    Will you be among Julianne Hough’s fans who vote for the best dress?

  • Julianne Hough Completes Awe-Inspiring Physical Feat, Not Dancing

    Julianne Hough is known for her strength and agility, but most are familiar with her exhibiting these traits on the Dancing With the Stars ballroom floor. Hough proved her physical feats lie in other areas last week when she completed the Spartan Beast challenge. The 13- mile obstacle course isn’t for the faint of heart, and even though Julianne Hough says there were areas in which she could have done better, just finishing the challenge is a major accomplishment.

    Hough’s sister and brother-in-law put their team together, and since their last name is Wise, the team was called the Wise Asses.

    “Team W.A. endured and overcame about 30 intense obstacles, which included crawling beneath barbed wire as we were being sprayed with hoses. It was beyond difficult to do! There were three upper body challenges. There was one I definitely couldn’t complete: a set of vertical monkey bars. When faced with an obstacle we couldn’t get through we had to drop and give officials 30 burpees. Thirty! It inspired me to step up my strength training game, so stay tuned for a post on that!” Julianne Hough writes on her personal website.

    Julianne Hough shared a picture of her team via Instagram.

    “I love physical challenges, but the Spartan Beast was SO MUCH more than just a really intense (and very messy) workout. You can see all our action shots and read about what the day was like for me over on juliannehough.com. (link in profile),” she captioned it.

    She even shared a short video clip of her and her team in action.

    “……… Wait for it…….. Boom Ninja Warrior! #spartonBEAST ?,” she captioned the clip.

    Julianne Hough knows all about teamwork. She and brother Derek Hough have teamed up in the past as dance partners.

    Recently engaged to Brooks Laich, it seems teamwork will forever be a part of Julianne Hough’s life.

    Did you think the DWTS judge had it in her to compete and complete the Spartan Beast challenge?

  • Nina Dobrev Shares Childhood Photos Via Instagram

    Nina Dobrev, former star of The Vampire Diaries, is a beautiful young woman. Not surprisingly, she was an adorable child, too.

    The actress recently shared a couple of those sweet childhood photos, much to the delight of her fans.

    This first shot features a little Nina Dobrev holding a pair of pet rats.

    Yes, rats.

    “Are those rats? Why am I playing with rodents? That can’t be sanitary!” she captioned the picture.

    In this next shot, an adorable Nina Dobrev, dressed in overalls, is enjoying a juice box.

    “Juicing became trendy over the past few years. Whatever. I’ve been juicing since the early 90’s…#NBD #OGjuicer #FlashBackFriday,” she captioned the photo.

    Not everyone who is cute as a child grows up to be a nice looking adult. That can’t be said for Nina Dobrev, however.

    This weekend, Nina attended the Creative Arts Emmy Awards in L.A. and likely knocked the socks off photographers who were covering the event. Wearing a long baby blue skirt with a slit that exposed ample thigh, and a tight black tank top, Nina Dobrev was dazzling. She paired the look with black and white high heeled sandals and a small metallic clutch.

    Nina wasn’t the only celebrity having her picture taken at the event. She posed for a selfie with Julianne Hough and her fiance Brooks Laich.

    Nina Dobrev will grace the big screen in October when she stars in The Final Girls.

    Do you suppose that adorable little girl had any clue about the success she would achieve as a Hollywood star?

    Hough, in an interview with Redbook, revealed the secret of their happy relationship: “We’ve been open and honest from day one.”

    The two are also big believers of PDA. The Dancing With the Stars celeb posted another sweet photo of her and fiancé kissing via Instagram . The photo was captioned: “What a week it’s been! I’m just so happy and feeling so loved from all of you, and wanted to give you a quick update on everything.”

    Hough is planning to take a break from social media so she can spend more quality time with her fiancé. She said she is very much excited about the preparations for her wedding. She promised her followers to return soon to social media with more photos to share.

    Now, many are asking if Hough will move to Arlington after the engagement since Laich practices there at the Kettler Capitals Iceplex. He also has a home in Arlington according to Washington Post. Still, there are is no confirmation if that will happen soon.

    Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich started dating back in December of 2013, shortly after she and Ryan Seacrest called it quits.

    In a recent interview with Redbook magazine, Hough explained her new outlook on relationships that came after attending a seminar on creating your own destiny.

    “I was not into it at first, but I learned so much about myself and why my relationships didn’t work that by the end I was on a high. I was seeing a couple people, but immediately [pretends to text guys], ‘You are nice, but this is going nowhere,’” she said. “The next day my Curve co-star introduced [Brooks Laich and me]. It couldn’t have been a better time. We’ve been open and honest from day one.”

    It seems Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich were destined to be together.

    No word has hit the media yet as to when the pair will tie the knot.

    Julianne Hough will no doubt be a beautiful bride.

  • Julianne Hough Over Ryan Seacrest, Brooks Laich Love of Her Life

    Julianne Hough appears to be completely over Ryan Seacrest, and has actually dubbed boyfriend Brooks Laich the love of her life. In an Instagram photo the Dancing With the Stars judge and Safe Haven star shared recently, she appears very happy. Of course it’s important to note that Brooks Laich isn’t the only one who received the aforementioned term of endearment.

    “A little nature walk with the loves of my life!” Hough captioned the outdoor photo with Brooks Laich and her two dogs. “Amazing goal tonight sweetheart! @brookslaich xoxo.”

    See for yourself.

    Did anyone ever really believe Julianne Hough and Ryan Seacrest would stay together forever? She has always been so creative and so youthful. Energy just flows from Julianne Hough, whether she’s acting, dancing, or giving constructive criticism on Dancing With the Stars. And he’s–well, he’s Ryan Seacrest. Sure, he’s a nice guy. But he’s not match for Julianne Hough.

    Do you think Brooks Laich might be the real deal for Hough? After all, he’s at least one of the loves of her life. The two started dating last winter after they were set up by a mutual friend. Julianne Hough dated Ryan Seacrest for three years.

    Hough spoke to ABC News back in April about her relationship with Brooks Laich.

    “We are going to make it work,” she said. “In every facet, whether it’s family, friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, whatever.”

    Maybe Julianne Hough is anticipating a walk down the aisle? Do you think that’s the direction this relationship will take?

  • Brooks Laich Called ‘Love of My Life’ By Julianne Hough

    Brooks Laich and Julianne Hough seem to be taking things to a different level after dating for a year.

    The Dancing With the Stars judge publicly declared on Instagram that the NHL star and her two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are the “loves of my life.”

    “A little nature walk with the loves of my life!” the 26-year-old actress wrote alongside the pic of the couple and Hough’s two dogs, Lexie and Harley.

    The Safe Haven actress and the Washington Capitals forward began dating last December after being set up by their mutual friend, actor Teddy Sears.

    In April, Hough was very adamant that she was going to do everything possible to make the relationship work.

    “We are going to make it work,” Hough told ABC News. “In every facet, whether it’s family, friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, whatever.”

    A little nature walk with the loves of my life! Amazing goal tonight sweetheart! @brookslaich xoxo

    Hough’s last long-term romance was with Ryan Seacrest. They remained together for nearly three years before ending their relationship in March 2013.

    “Every relationship, there was nothing wrong or bad, but there was nothing right,” Hough shared about their relationship in the August 2014 issue of Redbook. “I had one foot out because I didn’t want to get hurt. And I didn’t say what was on my mind because I didn’t want to ruffle any feathers. I needed to be perfect.”

    Hough said it was a seminar she attended with her family that changed her attitude, just in time to meet the “love of her life.”

    “I had this epiphany when my family went to a six-day seminar [last November] about creating your own destiny,” she told Redbook. “I learned so much about myself and why my relationships didn’t work that by the end I was on a high… The next day my Curve costar introduced [Brooks and me]. It couldn’t have been a better time. We’ve been open and honest from day one.”

  • Julianne Hough On Ryan Seacrest and Brooks Laich

    Julianne Hough graces the cover of the August issue of Redbook magazine and within its pages she dishes on her split from Ryan Seacrest and her bold move to take a chance on new love. Julianne, who is presently on tour for “Move Live,” her dance extravaganza with brother Derek Hough, says there was more to her split from the American Idol and radio personality than what the media was initially told.

    When Julianne Hough and Ryan Seacrest announced their split back in March of 2013 they cited their crazy schedules as the catalyst for the break up.

    “Every relationship, there was nothing wrong or bad, but there was nothing right,” Hough says in the magazine. “I had one foot out because I didn’t want to get hurt. And I didn’t say what was on my mind because I didn’t want to ruffle any feathers. I needed to be perfect.”

    Nine months later Julianne started dating hockey player Brooks Laich, and she has a whole new attitude on love.

    “But now I’m not holding anything back, because I’d rather get my heart broken than never know what it is to be completely, madly in love,” she says. “If I had been this open in my last relationship, who knows?”

    It seems a six-day seminar on destiny–and creating your own–may have contributed to Julianne Hough’s new outlook. The young woman has faced many obstacles in her life. Maybe this seminar helped move her past at least one of them?

    “I was not into it at first, but I learned so much about myself and why my relationships didn’t work that by the end I was on a high,” she says. “I was seeing a couple people, but immediately [pretends to text guys], ‘You are nice, but this is going nowhere.’ The next day my ‘Curve’ costar introduced [Brooks and me]. It couldn’t have been a better time. We’ve been open and honest from Day 1.”

    Happiness seems to be a way of life now for the former Dancing With the Stars pro. A recent Instagram post is captioned, “Good morning! Let’s be happy today, tomorrow, and for the rest of our lives! 🙂 Have a joyful day everyone! Xoxo” Her outlook is almost contagious.

    Julianne Hough and Ryan Seacrest never seemed to be right for each other. Aside from their age difference there always appeared to be something lacking between them. Julianne has now defined this, learned from her inability to let go, and moved on to a happy, love-filled life. She probably wishes the same for Ryan Seacrest.

    For now Julianne is dancing her way into pure, unadulterated happiness–in both her career and her private life, too.

  • Julianne Hough Opens Up About New Boyfriend

    Recently, we ran a story about Julianne Hough’s dating life and how she wasn’t in a rush to be coupled off with anyone, but now she’s opening up about her hockey boyfriend Brooks Laich and said she couldn’t be more content. But, she was initially a bit hesitant to reveal any details about the relationship.

    “You know I’m not going to talk about that,” she said in a recent radio interview. But then she broke down and starting talking about Laich a little bit.

    “He’s a wonderful guy,” she said. “I’m very lucky that my friend I shot Curve with, the movie I just did, introduced us.”

    An inside source for Us Weekly said Hough and Laich are ideal for each other and they have loads in common, like sports. “It works out well,” said the source. “They’re having fun. She’s happier than ever.”

    But it’s not just Hough that’s opening up about her new love, Laich is doing the same, as he spoke with a separate radio station and admitted that he feels extremely fortunate to be dating the blonde beauty. He also went into detail about how they met.

    “I’m a pretty lucky guy,” he said. “On set, apparently, he (the mutual friend) was talking with Julianne, and then asked her if she’d been seeing anyone, and she said no or whatever, and I guess he was watching our hockey game at the time,” described Laich. “I guess he just showed her the iPad and said, ‘Well I’ve got a guy for you.’”

    In an interview with the E! Channel, Hough also spoke about her workout regimen and said she actually had to slow down a bit, because she was exercising too much.

    “It’s been a challenge and I’m not going to lie,” she said. “I went through ups and downs and fluctuating. This last year has been about moderation and not killing my body and sleeping. Honestly, doing workouts throughout the day. I’ll just be sitting there, doing my tricep dips or something. Just anywhere.”

  • Julianne Hough Says It’s Hard To Remain Single

    Sometimes after a long and committed relationship ends, the best medicine for yourself is to be single and stay away from being seriously attached to anyone, and you should do this for at least a year or two, until you’ve mastered the art of being alone but not lonely.

    And that’s exactly what actress and dancer Julianne Hough tried to do, after she ended her relationship to media juggernaut Ryan Seacrest a while back.

    But it doesn’t seem like she accomplished her goal, because Hough is now dating hockey player Brooks Laich. Plus, she likes the feeling of being in a committed relationship, she said.

    “I’m a relationship girl, and I feel so grateful for the ones I’ve been in,” said Hough in an interview with Self magazine. “They’ve been excellent. I’ve been hurt but never angry, and they’ve helped me grow to be who I am today.”

    There are some relationship experts who’ve said that most people don’t really know how to be alone, and that’s why they jump into relationships so quickly, and that’s the very reason why Hough said she wanted to remain single for a while.

    Apparently, she spoke to Self magazine shortly before meeting Laich, because she wasn’t looking for a relationship at all, she said.

    “But my goal has been to be single for an entire year,” she explained.

    “There have been moments when I’m like, ‘This sucks.’ But my dad used to say to me, ‘When you feel happy with who you are, you won’t need anybody to fill a void.’ So for now, I’m focusing on my work and my soul. I honestly don’t care if I meet somebody or not. I’m just loving life on my own with my own two feet on the ground.”

  • Julianne Hough Spotted Out With Hockey Star

    Julianne Hough has been a singleton for a while now–since she broke up with Ryan Seacrest last March, it’s believed–but the 25-year old was spotted out recently with a hunky hockey star, prompting rumors that the two are an item.

    Hough and Brooks Laich were seen walking in L.A. and holding hands on Sunday afternoon after a trip to Disney Land on Saturday. They were also spotted together the day before Valentine’s Day, but it’s not known whether they were together on the big day.

    Hough and Seacrest were together for over two years, but ultimately called it off after what a source said was a timing problem.

    “Honestly, their schedules were too hectic,” the source said. “It just got to be too much. I think they both just sort of knew they couldn’t do it anymore. The travel and lifestyle got to be too much.”

    Since their split, Seacrest is rumored to be dating model Shayna Terese Taylor. However, he and Hough were spotted together at a Hollywood pre-Golden Globes party in January and appeared to be having a friendly conversation.

    As for Hough and Laich, the pair were set up by mutual friends and are said to be very happy with one another.

    “It works out well,” a source said. “They’re having fun. She’s happier than ever.”

  • Julianna Hough Dating Brooks Laich

    It looks like the gorgeous Julianna Hough is no longer single. Sorry guys!

    The Safe Haven actress sparked romance rumors with Canadian hockey player Brooks Laich when the two were spotted holding hands.

    The couple went for a hike with Hough’s two dogs. Both looked relaxed in casual clothes and hiking shoes.

    Hough and Laich were spotted together the day before Valentine’s day holding hands and constantly smiling.

    While it’s not exactly clear that the new duo spent the 14th together, both took to social media to spread a little love. Perhaps they were meant for one another?

    Hough captioned the Instagram pic with, “#regram #truth #love #valentinesday #everyday”

    And when the two aren’t spending time with the dogs, they’re still having a ball.

    The couple stepped out together the day after Valentine’s at Disneyland in Anaheim, Ca., where they were spotted holding hands and sharing a kiss or two.

    One insider eve said,”She’s happier than ever.”

    The former Dancing With the Stars pro has dated anyone since her split from Ryan Seacrest in March of 2013. Hough has mostly been spending her time with her close girlfriends.

    Hough’s rep hasn’t made any comments about the newly blossoming relationship, but we’re confident they will work out perfectly since they both like to stay active and like to have fun together.

  • Julianne Hough Holds Hands With New Boyfriend

    It appears that Julianne Hough has a new man in her life and that man is hockey player Brooks Laich of the Washington Capitals. Rumors that the two may be a couple have been spreading for a while but after photos surfaced of them holding hands while taking a hike, these rumors were confirmed.

    Sources close to the couple say that they were set up by a mutual friend and that they seemed to hit it off with their mutual interests in sports. “They’re having fun. She’s happier than ever,” said the source.

    Hough and Laich have not been shy about their relationship and are often seen together in public. Over the weekend they were spotted at Disneyland in Anaheim, California where they held hands while walking around the park and even shared a romantic kiss.

    The next day, the couple was seen holding hands while taking a hike with Hough’s two dogs. After their hike, the couple must have felt hungry because they were spotted together at Bristol Farms buying groceries.

    Laich appeared to enjoy spending Valentine’s Day with his new girl and tweeted a message wishing happiness to others. His tweet seemed to confirm that he was indeed having a Happy Valentine’s Day himself.

    Hough broke up with Ryan Seacrest in 2013 and hasn’t had any serious relationships since. She recently revealed a new pixie haircut that looks great with her soft features and seems to fit her bubbly personality well. Perhaps her new look is what inspired her to take a chance on love again and start dating Laich.

    What do you think of this couple and how do you like Julianne Hough’s new pixie haircut?
