Ever since the news broke over the weekend that Julianne Hough and Ryan Seacrest called it quits after two years together, I’ve been thinking a lot about Tom Cruise. True, I usually think about him a lot, but this is different because I’m pretty sure my favorite OT Level VIII whackjob went on high alert with this breakup news. Tom absolutely detests being a single man (as opposed to one of the “Single Ladies”), and ever since Katie Holmes filed for divorce last summer, Tom’s been a lost little boy. Sure, he’s had an alleged dirty-dancing partner in the form of a 26-year-old NYC restaurant manager, and he’s been cruising for da ladies, but Tom’s not really happy being silly and icky in nightclubs.
When Tom and Katie divorced last year, I couldn’t wait to see who he would try and date next. You know Tom’s ego won’t let him settle for an unknown Scientologist even though that’s obviously the best match for him. Immediately, I thought of Julianne Hough but then relented because she was with Seacrest at the time. Now she’s not taken, and I would be willing to bet that Tom thought back to those days when Julianne gave him a lap dance in Rock of Ages (that scene was left on the cutting room floor). Julianne even played the game during that movie’s promotional rounds by declaring that Tom’s portrayal of Stacee Jaxx was “the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen.” Oh really?
Now whether or not Julianne would actually go for Tom is another story. But I wouldn’t be surprised if his people immediately began to try very hard to set up a date (and a first audit session) as soon as she and Seacrest announced their relationship’s demise.
Make no mistake, Julianne has been on Tom’s list of candidates ever since Katie dumped him. On paper, Julianne is perfect for him. She’s cute. She’s not too tall. Her acting career will never approach levels of Tom mania (which was one of Nicole Kidman’s most egregious “sins” in that marriage). She has no scandals in her past. And who knows? She could be …. contract friendly.

Nooooo she is too sweet for him. I honestly think she is a sweet, kind of dumn, very nice mormon. Don’t let him ruin her! She needs to stick with regular bearding, not Xenu fun times.
They would make the perfect couple!!!
oh I think so too! She’s meek & mild and knows all about keeping contractual secrets after her gig with Seacrest.
I’d go as far to say that if they are put together they’ll get married.
+1
I hate to wish anyone on scientology though. They do look good together.
Plus I think she’d fit the pattern I read about that each of his wives has been 11 years younger than the last. Crreeepy….
If she is willing to serve as a beard again I think Tom is way to old for her, now Jake Gyllenhaal is more closer to her age.
She is waiting for whole Clooney-Keibler thing to shake out so she can start a bidding war between George and Tom

well they’re as cringe-worthy as her and Seacrest, so.. why not?
is she going to be the best hollywood beard ever or what?
With his track record, shorter women don’t seem to be his pattern?
I dont think the women were really THAT tall, its just that he is THAT short IMO
Are you forgetting Penelope Cruz?
They look good on paper.
Isn’t she of the Mormon fold? I can’t remember, but I know she’s got a good girl streak a mile wide.
That was my thinking. Hard to convert from one cult to another. Well…maybe not, actually. Takes a certain love of brainwashing.
She isn’t tall enough. He likes them towering over him. And really, 25 year age difference? That doesn’t look good.
Not necessarily. Penelope Cruz is a shorty.
she comes with a brother
Snort! Love it!
Oh snap! 🙂
Bearding for Seacrest is one thing…but bearding for Tiny Tom is like the Olympics of bearding…I’m not sure Julianne’s quite ready for that level…she needs a Gyllenhal in between.
Interesting as well that scuttlebutt has it the real break up was between her brother and Seacrest…but then again I’m not sure if he’d be Tom’s type…my sources told me Tom’s poison was Asian guys.

+1 and thanks for the laugh! 🙂
This whole comment is just made of win.
I heard from a good source that he loves Hispanics. Haha I think he just generally loves men
Yep she’s not too tall and Tome likes his ladies very tall. So maybe they’ll turn it into a flirt -because he’s such a lady-man LOL-
I love that dress – neckline & color – wow.
I love that dress too.
Gorgeous! I think she looks like a young Meg Ryan though. Same smile and jaw line.
Please no. She has been through enough pain in her young life.
Tom is evil. I wouldn’t wish him on my worst enemy.
This would be gossip gold, and just for that reason I’m kind of rooting for them as a couple. Can you imagine the crazy if they had a baby ? Poor baby.
It probably won’t happen though… *sigh*
Julianne is a Mormon so I don’t think she will date this crazy Xenu worshipper! My MIL is good friends with Julianne’s grandfather and I can attest that the Houghs are good people and devout LDS members. I hope not! Run Julianne Run!
hot sizzling damn i love that dress! LOVE!
julianna girl….you were warned here first, STAY AWAY……FAR AWAY.
Julianne….you in DANGER, girl. 🙁
I just find the whole concept of ‘bearding’ to be creepy. I know there’s financial gain involved, but is that worth someone like Julianne giving up all those years of having *real* relationships?
Why are all these women willing to beard for these men?
Look at Katie Holmes today and learn the lesson: it aint worth the price.
They will be wasting their most precious years, their career will never take off, they will be subject to a controlling and annoying man, not to mention, sometimes, a cult/ an annoying mother in law/ agent/ male friends and others who will affect your life and have a say or add more tension.
They will find themselves depressed, beaten, exhausted, without a career and being mocked at the media, with a child who will have to suffer the lack of a father figure/ tons of issues.
Katie is still young and she never had a career really, post-Dawsons Creek anyway.
She has plenty of time to have a great relationship (or two), have other children, find a new career and have a very nice life and get some much-needed normality and stability for Suri.
Putting up with Tom and getting a susbtantial $$ settlement, Katie is now in an enviable position to make whatever choices she now has the freedom to.
The best years of her life will be now, depending on what she chooses to do.
Look at the benefits Stacy has obtained from being with George. A very nice arrangement, if both parties are willing, if you ask me.
Julianne seems very sweet and nice but she isn’t a great actress by any stretch and the competition is huge. Getting a gig with Tom would be a good move for her.
I feel for Katie, I feel People dont really know what she had to go through with the Scientology People, she is a good Soul and must have suffered very much undender Tom’s fucked up ways
Tom Cruise is a huge aggresive idiot who likes to beat and control women.
If he knows what is good for him he better leave his controling ways or his hollywood carrear will be dead as his marriage.
If ur insinuating shes a beard just come out and say it loud shes just a beard for the men in the industry.
Just don’t give her any jewelry Tommy 😉
Hmm. I doubt it. I come from a family of devout LDS from Utah Valley, just like Julianne does. It’s already odd enough that she dated a non-Mormon Christian like Ryan (for example, my family’s all freaked out that my cousin is dating a Catholic). But a non-Mormon AND non-Christian who would need her to give up her own religion for his? Ain’t gonna happen.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he did. Bearding may be a lucrative side job for her.
However, if she really is a hard-core Mormon, she won’t go for the Co$ indoctrination necessary to be contracted to Cruise.
Wow, she is exactly what I assume he and CO$ are looking for. Hope she doesn’t fall for it if they try.
Run Julianne .. Run !!
Can we see more Chris Hemsworth instead of this idiot?
