Extra TV Rumor about DWTS Pro (or Star?) in Footloose!
UPDATE: A new report says that Derek Hough has talked to the people from Footloose, but no agreements have been made. We’ll keep updating as we get more information.
Here is the quote from Extra:
UE: ‘Dancing’ Jackpot!
Posted by ExtraTV Staff on May 4, 2009 1:31 PMABC
“Extra” reveals the “Dancing with the Stars” competitors that are about to hit the jackpot! Movie roles, million dollar deals — only “Extra” knows the one star tangoing with the offer of a lifetime.
So…Derek or Julianne?? Or Both? Or someone not previously rumored? Place your bets here! 😉 I’ll go out on a limb (not really, since the picture below was included with the article) and say Julianne, although it will kill me to not see Derek as Ren.
Derek really seems like the only logical choice. Julianne must focus on her singing career so I don’t really see why she’d do Footloose right now. Derek is the pretty boy and Footloose needs a pretty boy like Derek. He just fits the part.
It’s Derek, no question. If they are choosing one Hough for the movie, they will choose Derek. He is perfect!
I wouldn’t get people’s hopes up about Derek. It’s just going to make things worse if it’s Julianne, and if Extra is right, everything points to it being Julianne.
one more thing…. wasn’t this Extra blurb about yesterday’s show? I’m confused.
I think that the Extra for yesterday was probably already shot by the time this was posted. Hard to say – often if bigger news comes up, a story they promote will get bumped. I expect we’ll learn something today either way. I do agree about not getting hopes up about Derek – I would prefer it be him, but I’m skeptical. He talks about him and Julianne both being up for a part in Footloose – and how they both obviously can’t get it – here: http://www.purederekhough.com/2009/05/04/derek-hough-on-elliot-in-the-morning-talks-about-footloose/
