The cast of the "Footloose" remake have been on their feet this week.
On Tuesday, former "Dancing with the Stars" performer (and two-time winner) Julianne Hough marked her return to the show, which is taped in Los Angeles, with a special performance alongside her "Footloose" co-star, and fellow dancer, Kenny Wormald. She also performed with her brother, Derek, one of the show's professional dancers.
Less than 24 hours later, the two co-stars were on the other side of the country in New York for a special red-carpet screening of "Footloose."
Hough, who is battling a cold, spoke with us about her emotional return to her old 'DWTS" stomping ground.
"It's pretty crazy but you gotta love it," said of her chaotic itinerary. "Sometimes you get a little sniffle and a little cold, but it doesn't matter at the end of the day."
In fact, tit was more than a sniffle that misted her eyes Tuesday at "DWTS."
" I knew that going back there and promoting something like "Footloose" on the show was going to be overwhelming," Hough said. "But I haven't done anything live for so long, so to hear the crowd and the applause and just seeing all the faces that I knew on the show and all my friends, it was a little overwhelming."
Speculation has intensified as to whether this new "Footloose" will in fact live up to the 1984 Kevin Bacon-starring original. Audiences will get to see for themselves when the remake opens in theaters nationwide this weekend.
The 'Dancing With The Stars' professional has been dating the 36-year-old 'American Idol' host since last year and despite rumours her boyfriend is planning to propose, Hough would only admit the pair are extremely happy together.
She said: "I hear those rumours too! I'm right there with you girl. I think I've been engaged probably like ten times by now." "I'm very, very happy, he's wonderful. "
Ryan recently denied he is already engaged but admitted he is smitten with Julianne, 22.
He said: "I'm not engaged. I'm very happy."
Meanwhile Julianne is reported to have had a bust up with her 'Burlesque' co-star Christina Aguilera at a pre-Golden Globes party on Friday (14.01.11).
Witnesses revealed Aguilera left Julianne visibly upset when she approached her at the bash at Soho House in Los Angeles, attended by stars such as Julia Roberts,Colin Firth, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore.
An insider told "Christina really got in her face," before unleashing a torrent of verbal abuse at her, threatening to ruin the dancer's developing country music career.
The insider revealed Julianne was "visibly upset" by the incident.
They added: "The whole thing was troubling. People felt bad for Julianne."
A spokesperson for Christina, 30, denied the altercation had taken place.
