Julianne Hough Off Footloose and Back on DWTS Season 11?
[picappgallerysingle id=”8567281″]
I haven’t seen too much news and talk lately about Julianne Hough and her possible return to Dancing with the Stars season 11. However, from past information it seems like Julianne Hough still had a commitment to come back on DWTS. It’s mostly just been a question of when (although, I guess she could buy it out or something).
US Magazine just reported about Chace Crawford dropping out of the remake of Footloose and Julianne also mentions that she might have to drop out of Footloose as well. Here’s the relevant quotes:
Julianne Hough is bummed Chace Crawford dropped out of Footloose.
…
The former Dancing With the Stars pro — who quit the show to focus on her singing and acting career — says she may have to pull out of the ’80s remake as well because of scheduling difficulties.“His schedule couldn’t work because of Gossip Girl and mine almost didn’t work because of DWTS,” Julianne tells Us, “so we’re still actually working on mine to see if I can do it.”
Does she miss DWTS? “I do and I don’t,” Julianne says. “I miss the camaraderie and dancing, but I’m busy doing my music. I’m touring with Sugarland this year. I have a single out in June.”
Maybe I’m reading into this a little bit, but it seems certainly possible that Julianne Hough being on DWTS season 11 is the conflict that could mean she has to drop out of Footloose, no? I actually think that Julianne Hough fans will see this as a good and a bad thing. Good to have her back on DWTS season 11, but bad that they won’t get to see her in Footloose.
On the other side, Princess Heidi and her band of Derek Hough fans will certainly be very excited that Chace and possibly Julianne won’t be on Footloose. Why? Because that gives them renewed hope that Derek could replace Chace in Footloose.
It was also fun to see Julianne Hough on the ACM awards show last night. She stumbled her words a little bit, but she looked great. Here’s a video of part of her ACM presentation and a video showing her (and other beautiful women’s) fashion at the 2010 ACMs:
i hope that Julianne will comeback becouse i miss her dancing, she is amazing, if she do comeback to season 11, they should do a all star , imagine how amazing would be to see Juianne dance with Apolo again, imagine only good dances every single week, that would be a dream come true.
i also really miss Julianne in the pro number, she really is amazing, the best dancer IMO, last night i watch her dancing with tony to Ralcal flats and her dancing with Derek to Jennifer Hudson, just amazing.
i read that earlier on another site and i too am convinced she is coming back. however, i think she is full of it when she says dwts is causing her a scheduling conflict with the show. i think it is more like b/c kenny ortega dropped the project they cannot get any big names to attach themselves to the project. once zac efron and kenny dropped off, this movie was doomed. it will be good to see her back though.
I think you need to re-read the article, Jeanmom (and John) – Julianne was saying that her original casting almost cost her the role the first time around, not that it is DWTS that is causing problems this time around. She doesn’t actually say what the scheduling difficulty is this time. It’s written badly, but she changes tense right in the middle and says “almost didn’t work out” then goes on to say they’re looking at her schedule now. If DWTS were at issue they wouldn’t have to look – they know when that shoots in the fall. I think touring is at issue. I guess we’ll see. Lots of Derek fans are now being picky and saying “if Kenny Ortega isn’t directing….” – I say, get the boy on the big screen and hope for the best. There are no guarantees when it comes to movies – 9 out of 10 turn out to be crap.
Yes, the tense and the way they cut the quote is messed up. Could mean her touring schedule and not DWTS season 11 is what they’re checking on. Still seems like she’s under contract with DWTS for another season, no? I’m not sure DWTS will keep putting off her not being on the show. So, maybe she’ll be on DWTS season 11 and just do the touring and movie in summer?
Kenny Ortega is a big loss for that show, but I’ll be surprised if Footloose doesn’t do well. You’d have to royally screw that up.
it would be good for Derek to be in a movie. however, there are things that could completely torpedo your career and this could be one of them. too much drama in the beginning.
