Julianne posted a blog on her myspace:
I'm a HORRIBLE blogger!!!!!
Hey guys,
yes it's really me! i know it's even hard for me to believe! lol how sad is this, i forgot how to post a blog because it's been so long i actually had to have Chuck show me how to do it! ha ha
where should i begin... ok, i think everyone knows i'm back on dwts this season. it was a last minute deal. i was set on taking this season off and then last minute the show asked me to do it because they had asked Chuck to do it and they thought it would be cool if we danced together... at first i still said no because i wanted to focus on my music BUT then i thought about it for a day and figured this out. i can still write, go on tour and work on Julianne Hough the country singer because chuck will be my partner and that will be a huge luxury. Also, if i would have taken this season off i would have had to go back on the fall season when i will be trying to promote a new single off of my new record so it would have been harder to do that if i was on the show.. i don't know if i'm making sense, but i wanted to clear that up with everyone, i know there had been some confusion, and the LAST thing i want to do is confuse my fans. you guys have been supportive of me from the beginning..... i can't thank you enough!!!
ok, so now i can go on to talk about rehearsal.. ha ha it has been so much fun and really hillarious to see chuck try to dance ha ha.. even thinking about it is funny! he is actually doing very well though.. i was really surprised! Today it was a great day, we TOTALLY fell on our butts.. lol that will definitely make it in our package the first week.... ha ha
it has been a little challenging trying to find studios that have mirrors and wood floors on the road.. i think we actually rehearsed at a theatre on a college campus....
SIDE NOTE : Jerry, chuck's tour manager, and chuck are totally dancing on the bus right now! Jerry was being the girl.. ha ha ha really funny thought i would tell you guys.
ok what else,.... lexi bexi is laying on my lap right now and snoring so loud it's awesome!!! i have never loved something so much as i love my little girl... i kiss her more than she kisses me... lol
All week i've been on the road with Chuck practicing and then going to his shows.. not gonna lie, i've been a getting a little antzy cause i haven't had a show PLUS i'm on a bus with even more guys than are on my bus, so i'm going a little coo coo!! my highlight of today was going to walgreens and getting a BUNCH of makeup and girly stuff like that just to feel like a girl again...
ok chuck is getting a little offended now cause he's reading this over my shoulder ha ha
i'm going to get ready to go watch him ROCK his show tonight... i'll be flying to Des Moines tomorrow for a show with Toby Keith so i'll try to write another blog tomorrow :)
thanks for all your support you guys are the best EVER!!!!!
OH yeah, i feel weird asking for this BUT.. I was fortunate enough to make the ballot for Top New Female Vocalist for the ACM's this year and the best part is, it's fan voted so if you guys want to see me up there in vegas on april 5th, go to GACTV.com and vote :) thanks a bunch, you guys are the best!!

Lacey Schwimmer Dishes on Dancing with Jackass Star Steve-O
In 2008, dancer Lacey Schwimmer went from So You Think You Can Dance veteran to Dancing With the Stars newbie with a few fleet turns of the foot. And in a stellar showing, she took Lance Bass all the way to the finals before going on a nationwide tour with the show. Back for season 8, Lacey is partnered with comedian Steve-O and spoke with PEOPLE about why she was wrong about the Jackass star, whether they have any stunts planned and why she thinks they’ll do well in the competition.
So let us have it — how’s Steve-O?
Steve-O is a workhorse. He is here everyday, five hours. He says, “Is five hours enough, Lacey? Do you think I need more than that?” So he’s just such a hard worker and we’re in very intense rehearsals everyday.
Were you worried that because of his history he wouldn’t be the most disciplined partner?
Absolutely, and that’s what I thought going into it, too. I was like, “Oh, man. He’s not going to want to practice and this, that and the other.” But I walked in and the first thing he said to me was, “I’m taking this very seriously. So you’re the boss. You tell me what to do. I’ll do whatever you want.” Ever since, he’s been such a great person to work with.
Were you surprised?
It’s funny because he’s been eleven months sober from drugs and alcohol and so I think his mind is now thinking, “I really have to now achieve this goal. I have to do this.” His head is really clear. I look up to him in that sense because as hard as he’s working on so many things, I feel like I should be working harder. I wasn’t expecting how nice of a guy he turned out to be and how much of a gentleman and how adorable he is. He’s so sweet and so cute and everyone who meets him just falls in love with him.
Does he have any dance experience?
He comes from a background of circus training. He graduated clown school, I believe, and he has these really interesting tricks that he can do that I’ve never seen anyone on the show do before. So we’re definitely going to try and incorporate what he already can do and I’m trying to develop things that he could potentially do.
How about incorporating elements of Jackass into your routines?
Of course! He’s already told me things that he’s wanting to do on the set. I’m like, “You have to remember that this is live television and it’s ABC Family. I don’t know if me kicking you in a certain area would look good on TV.” He’s having fun and has great ideas and is a really creative guy. We’re both so silly and we love to laugh and have a good time. I get him. I get his humor and I understand what he’s thinking. We work really well together.
What do you think are your chances?
I think he’s this little dark horse of the competition. People don’t really know what to expect from him … I keep getting these messages on Myspace or on Facebook and they’re like, ‘Oh, man, you and Steve-O. I’m so sorry.’ I look at them and think they have no idea about this guy.
