Summer Lovin'
After stepping out with comedian Dane Cook, Hough, 21, is spotted getting cozy all over Los Angeles with American Idol host Ryan Seacrest, 35. "Things have gotten more serious over the last month," a source tells PEOPLE of the couple. "They're perfect for each other."

Burlesque Babe
Before tackling a leading role in Footloose, Hough makes her big screen debut as a backup dancer in Burlesque, starring opposite Christina Aguilera and Cher. "I still had fun and got to take in all the amazing people who were cast and grow from that," she tells USA Today of choosing to play a supporting role for her first film.

Cutting Loose
Hough steps into her first leading role as Ariel Moore in the remake of 1984's Footloose. "I'm usually so formed for [ballet] barre dancing," she tells Elle of her big screen departure. "But it was more freestyle…in hot, tight jeans and booty shorts."
