The Twelfth Season of Dancing With The Stars without Derek Hough and Julianne Hough

This is the twelfth season of Dancing With The Stars and all the front line regulars are back.

Sitting at the judges table are the three judges who have been called everything from The Three Stooges to The Clueless Trio From Theatrical Town.

In order of age the three judges are; Len "The Crotchety Grouch" Goodman, who hails from merry olde England. Bruno "The Gaytalian" Tonioli who pranced in from Italia. And "The Princess of The Philippines" herself Carrie Ann Inaba.

But as far as the professional dancers go, two very noticeable favorites who are missing are Derek "The Dancing Dude" Hough who along with Jennifer Grey won last year's coveted Mirror Ball Trophy, and his little sister, Julianne "Las Legs" Hough, the gorgeously sexy girlfriend of the lucky-as-hell host of American Idol Ryan "Peaches" Seacrest.

Left Coast Mirror Magazine reported that Derek took the year off so that he could spend as much time as he possibly could with his stunningly sensuous British babe of a honey, Cheryl Cole, or Chezza as her very good friend Simon "The Sultan of Sarcasm" calls her.

And Julianne decided to pass up the DWTS gig up this year so that she can spend time with her future husband "Peaches" Seacrest at his Hollywood Hills home Casa Cha Cha Cha which he now shares with Miss Jolly Julie, as he refers to her in bed.

US dancer Derek Hough “partied till dawn” with Cheryl Cole's brother Garry Tweedy on a recent night out.

Hough 25, took the X Factor judge’s 23-year-old brother to the Moon Nightclub at the Palms Hotel, in Las Vegas, where they partied until the early hours.

An onlooker told UK newspaper, the Sunday Mirror: 'There was a permanent queue trying to get alongside the boys. The girls had tiny dresses on and knew what they were doing – the lads seemed like they loved every minute.

'They both partied till dawn, proper Vegas style, and looked like they were having the time of their life, but kept their hands to themselves.'

It is claimed the pair have become good friends since the Girls Aloud star has been spending more time in LA.
