Now that Julianne Hough has been voted off of Dancing With The Stars this season she plans to take a break from the hit show. In her online "Fancast" blog, Julianne writes that she will not be on the upcoming spring season and is unsure whether she'll return in the fall. She tells E! News' Ryan Seacrest her decision was not a reaction to her recent medical emergency. Instead, as she explains, "It's because I really, really want to focus on the music and kind of be taken seriously a little bit. I think it's hard to be on Dancing With the Stars and be singing and kind of get that confusion, and so I'm really going to focus on the music. Music is where I want to be." Julianne, who will appear on next week's season finale episode, is asking fans who supported her and dancing partner Cody Linley to vote for her brother, Derek Hough, and Brooke Burke. NSYNC's Lance Bass and football star Warren Sapp are the other two celebrities left in the competition.
