No 'threepeat' for Hough
Partnering with her real-life boyfriend, country singer Chuck Wicks, wasn't enough to keep two-time "Dancing With the Stars" co-champ (and Utah native) Julianne Hough in the competition.

Wicks and Hough were booted from the reality-show competition Tuesday night.

Two other Utah dancers - Julianne's brother Derek (partnered with rapper Lil Kim) and Chelsie Hightower (partnered with rodeo champ Ty Murray) - are among the final five pairings still in the competition.

The other Hough wins
Park City's Derek Hough has done what his sister Julianne has done twice: Guided a B-list celebrity to victory on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars."

Hough and his celebrity partner, model/actress Brooke Burke, took the top prize on Tuesday night's show - winning out over retired football player Warren Sapp and former 'NSync pretty boy Lance Bass.

Julianne, who took the trophy with Olympic speedskater Apolo Anton Ohno and Indy car racer Helio Castroneves, announced last week she was quitting "Dancing With the Stars" (after she and her partner, "Hannah Montana" co-star Cody Linley, were eliminated) to concentrate on her country-music career.

Utah dancer, down but not out
Utah's own Julianne Hough is the latest to be stricken with a health problem on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars."

According to this account from E! Online, Hough (pictured here with her current dance partner, "Hannah Montana" co-star Cody Linley) was rushed to the hospital with stomach pains after Tuesday night's elimination show. She said she had been suffering them all day, but they became too much to handle.

Hough isn't the first person on "Dancing With the Stars" to have a health scare this season. Actress-model Brooke Burke hurt her foot practicing the jitterbug with partner Derek Hough (Julianne's brother), and Olympic beach volleyballer Misty May-Treanor had to drop out after rupturing her Achilles tendon.
