Interview: Julianne Hough on Music, Marriage & More
Dancing with the Stars sweetie Julianne Hough is looking forward to a country Christmas in Nashville with her family and boyfriend, singer Chuck Wicks. But first she's got some business to take care of. The dancer-turned-country crooner, who braved the frigid weather in New York City to support MasterCard & Home Depot's "Overjoy of Giving" event on Monday, tells Star about her holiday plans.
Are you done with your Christmas shopping?
"I haven't even started my Christmas shopping, I have been so busy! I think I am going to get Chuck luggage since his luggage gets beat up from being on the road. My sister wants the Wii Fit. My brother Derek is the hardest person to shop for. Maybe a gift certificate to a guitar store."
Speaking of Chuck, will there be wedding bells anytime soon?
"I am really happy. That won't be for a while. We are just enjoying our relationship and the many stages of it."
Let's set the record straight: Are you returning to DWTS next season?
"I am not sure if I will do the spring or fall show. I will definitely take a season off to focus on my music. I don't know which season yet because I need to see which fits in best for touring, recording and writing."
It sounds like you have a big soft spot for the show.
"Absolutely! I understand completely my fans love seeing me on the show and I am where I am at thanks to the show. Of course, the people I met are great. I will miss being on it and I will watch from home. But people have to take what they have and go for it. Also, it would be really hard to do two things like this at once.
In addition to your country album, you also have a holiday album out right now. How did you pick the songs?
"These are the songs I listened to while I was home wrapping presents. When they would play I would dance around the kitchen while my dad cooked omelets. The songs are universal, they are not necessarily Christmas with the exception of one."
How are your plans going for your next album?
"I am in the midst of starting some songs now and I haven't written before so that has been a lot of fun. I haven't started recording yet so I don't know when it is coming out. The first album was a learning experience. I can't wait to work on this one. I will be more prepared then I was last time."

I like her being on dancing with the stars but i like her singing to its up to her
-- Jeana
I think she should be able to do both. I love hearig her sing in fact i have" That song in my head" as my ringtone on my cell. But i also like watching her dance. She's a beautiful person inside and out. She loves dancing i can tell that, but she also loves singing so i think she should follow her dreams so wherever her heart leads her whether in be singing or dancing i think her fans should stand behind her descision. I LOVE you girl your my hero and i will always stand behind you. <3

Dear Julianne,
I like your dancing and singing. I think you are my hero. I would like you to be my friend and email me. My friend is named Suzie Gale. She wants to meet you and be your friend too. -- Julie Ann Hunt
Everyday she reminds me more of, KELLIE on Regis.
-- Mick
She looks just like Kristin Cavallari!
-- Derek
She could get some fertility treatments, push out a litter of kids and have a reality show - with their gene pool it will be a talented bunch. It could be called The sound of Wicks.
-- Kate
