As far as parting gifts go, it looks like Julianne Hough received a pretty expensive one.

Trulia is reporting that the singer/dancer/actress has moved into a $3 million mansion purchased by none other than her ex boyfriend Ryan Seacrest. The couple split in March after dating for nearly three years.

The move comes five months after Hough, 24, sold her two-bedroom, two-bathroom Nashville condo (above) for $900,000. It must have been a good time to sell at the time: Hough paid $649,000 for the home in 2009.

According to Trulia, the Safe Haven star moved to her new mansion shortly after moving out of Seacrest’s $37 million Beverly Hills property.

Basically, Ryan Seacrest, what the hell were you thinking?

After splitting with the American Idol host earlier in March, Julianne Hough taking it easy with some “me time” — and proving that she’s just fine as a single lady.

Readying herself for the weekend, the Rock of Ages actress stripped down for a dip in the pool at her Miami hotel. Sporting a multi-colored bikini top and pink bottoms, the 24-year-old looked to be good spirits as she lounged about in the sun.

We don’t blame her though, we’d be grinning ear-to-ear too if we could spend our Fridays by the pool. And maybe look as hot as she does in a swimsuit.

Yesterday, even more celebrities headed to the Coachella Valley for this year’s music festival, including Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart (acting very cute as they walked across the grounds together), Julianne Hough and 2/3 of the Jonas Brothers.

Poor Tallulah Willis,19,  gets the Off-Her-Rocker award for behaving like an absolute whack job.  Bruce Willis and Demi Moore‘s youngest daughter wore a high-waisted two-piece that she paired with combat boots and red socks, a selection that will live on in Coachella history.

The teen behaved like she was chocolate-wasted, and then used the assistance of her friend to get the heck out of dodge (or at least away from the cameras).

Are you still at Coachella?  Let us know in our comments section.

I love you Ryan Seacrest, but what were you thinking letting this talented girl go? She can sing, she can dance, she act, and now we have proof that Julianne Hough is one hell of a designer.

Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough have called it quits.

According to PEOPLE, the couple split after more than two years together but are “in regular contact and remain friends.”

So what led to the end of their romance?

Their busy schedules, sources tell the publication.

The American Idol star, 38, is one of the busiest men in Hollywood, with  hosting and producing duties. At the same time, ex-Dancing With The Stars dancer Hough’s acting career has taken off.

Hough, 24, and Seacrest were last spotted together Feb. 13 at the Topshop Topman opening in Los Angeles.

The Safe Haven star spoke just last month about relationship challenges in the spotlight.

“It’s a hard thing to do, especially when you’re so caught up in your work and bettering yourself,” she told Parade. “It does get hard because you’re so focused on that, but I think at the end of the day you have to find a balance with what’s really important.”

Reps for Seacrest and Hough didn’t return requests for comment.

Do you think Ryan and Julianne will get back together?

Though Julianne Hough was no doubt pleasantly surprised when beau Ryan Seacrest gifted her $100,000 worth of jewelry, she was in for a bigger shock when a thief had broken into her car and made away with her expensive baubles.

While visiting a friend in Hollywood last Friday night, the 24-year-old had left the pricey gifts in her parked Mercedes outside her pal’s apartment complex.

According to TMZ, Hough returned to a completely ransacked car with the driver’s door wide open. The six-figure treasures, which included a $50,000 watch, were gone.

The website reports that that there were no visible signs of forced entry.

Though Hough’s week continued to get a little worse as the Safe Haven actress underwent root canal surgery on Wednesday.

“After my apicoectomy root canal surgery last night! I’ve got chipmunk cheeks and Botox looking lips,” she tweeted alongside a photo of her swollen face.

“But I did get a tinker bell band aid! They know the way to make me feel better!”

Valentine’s Day has come and gone, and it appears that lovers spent their time at home – or at least away from movie theaters – instead of celebrating their affection via the silver screen.

Meanwhile, action lovers turned out in droves to watch Bruce Willis beat the stuffing out of bad guys in A Good Day to Die Hard, and in slightly fewer numbers, comedy fans came back yet again to check out Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman in Identity Thief.

This Friday, Willis will have some competition in the action department courtesy Dwayne Johnson’s Snitch, while Keri Russell makes her first venture into horror with the shrouded-in-secrecy film Dark Skies.

Which of these films are you most excited to see this weekend? Let us know what’s your favorite of the five in the comments section below!

It’s that time of year again, movie buffs! Yep, that’s right. Another Valentine’s Day, another overtly romantic movie with a poster of the two beautiful lead actors in an embrace.

This year’s selection is an adaptation of a novel from the man who seems to have nothing but romantic bones in his body, Nicholas Sparks. Seriously, Sparks is like the romantic gift that keeps on giving.

The latest novel-turned-sappy-movie is Safe Haven, starring Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough. The pair of leads easily fit into the roster of Sparks-leads alumni including Amanda Seyfried, Mandy Moore, Channing Tatum, Rachel McAdams, Ryan Gosling and Zac Efron, to name a few, but does the newest edition to the Nicholas Sparks movie collection have as much (pun intended) heart as the movies that came before it?

Critics weighed in, and according to them, the film is generally lackluster. But, in the end, it all depends on what the audience thinks. Meaning, don’t let the critics discourage you too much! Having said that, here’s a look at exactly what they had to say about the film:

Stephen Farber, The Hollywood Reporter

“A thriller element that has not been present in earlier Sparks movies is designed to draw reluctant male viewers to see the picture, but they won’t respond with the same enthusiasm as his core audience of woozy romantics…”

Mary Pols, TIME

“What’s the point then, if she’s not a girl we’re desperately worried about? This could be a problem with Hough’s performance—she’s all sunshine but no heat—but in general, Sparks seems to taking it easier on his audiences these days. He’s making his escapism more escapist…”

Leah Rozen, Yahoo Movies

“There’s nada in “Safe Haven” that will surprise anyone who has ever watched a few Lifetime movies, which it strongly resembles, both in the tedious level of its acting and its dialogue…”

Betsey Sharkey, LA Times

“Starring Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel, this sloppy sentimental journey is long on beauty shots, short on depth and seriously intent on tugging your heartstrings. Indeed, it demands you reach for those tissues…”

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

“…Hough, an inexhaustibly perky actress, manages to keep smiling. Worse then that, Katie hides out in an impossibly picturesque fishing village in North Carolina, where she right away meets Alex (Josh Duhamel), a widower with two kids and a gym-toned body no one else in town possesses…”

Harsh, huh? Again, just take the reviews with a grain of salt. That said, did you see the latest romantic mush-fest that is Safe Haven? If so, do you agree with the critics? We at Celebuzz want to know (so we can decide whether or not to see it, too).

Since Kevin Costner and Robin Wright Penn brought Message in a Bottle to the screen in 2000, author Nicholas Sparks has entertained audiences with his deeply romantic and often tragic tales of love found, lost and regained.

Thirteen years later, Sparks revisits his winning formula again with Safe Haven, the story of a troubled young woman who finds love while on the run from her mysterious past.

But even after successfully creating some of the last decade’s most iconic romances, including The Notebook, the writer says that he’s sure of only one thing when it comes to creating these indelible stories.

“Everybody falls in love,” Sparks tells Celebuzz. “How do you make that original and fresh to somebody? How do you do that new? It’s been done so many times before.”

Sparks admits that he still struggles to find the right way to combine new circumstances and timeless ideas when crafting his latest tome.

“I don’t know still that I’m perfectly comfortable doing it,” he says. “Whenever you’re trying to evoke genuine emotion, it is a tough thing to do, especially when you’re trying to evoke a variety of them.”

Although his work certainly deserves credit for connecting these films with their audiences, Sparks insists that it’s the people on screen who truly make them memorable and effective.

“The elements that have made these films work are the chemistry,” Sparks says. “I’ve had actors with great chemistry. Ryan [Gosling], Rachel [McAdams], Channing Tatum – I’ve had great casts, great directors.”

Safe Haven opens in theaters nationwide Feb. 14. Watch our exclusive interview with Sparks, and let us know in the comments — what do you love most about the writer’s love stories? And which is your favorite?

This Valentine’s day, the world of cinema is giving us all kinds of choices when it comes to that iconic ritual of a “Valentine movie date.”

Going head-to-head-to-head this Thursday, February 14th is the newest installment of the Bruce Willis action franchise, A Good Day To Die Hard, the movie adaptation of another supernatural love story novel, Beautiful Creatures, and the movie adaptation of a more traditional love story, albeit one laced with mystery and danger, Safe Haven.

It’s really impossible to predict which of these movies will draw in the largest crowd on this holiday, because everyone celebrates differently.

Beautiful Creatures, a romantic thriller about a teen witch and a human who fall in love against the backdrop of a sleepy Southern town, features an all-star supporting cast including Emmy Rossum and Jeremy Irons. The film will surely attract people looking to ease their Twilight withdrawals. Meanwhile, the Nicholas Sparks adaptation Safe Haven, starring Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel, will satisfy people who haven’t enjoyed a properly melodramatic romance since The Notebook.

But of course, there will definitely be people who want to go in the complete opposite direction and indulge in some good, old fashioned on-screen car chases and explosions. Die Hard promises to deliver just such an injection of adrenaline, as all the previous movies in the series have.

Only time will tell which movie will dominate the box office, this V-Day. Let us know your predictions in our poll!

Which movie do you want to watch on Valentines day? Sound off with your picks in the comments below!

Celebs are often the first to give runway looks a spin, so we weren’t surprised to see the dress-over-pants runway trend, brought back to life by Raf Simons for Dior’s spring ready-to-wear and couture collections, reappear on the red carpet.

Emma Watson debuted the layered look in all-black Dior at The Perks of Being a Wallflower London premiere last fall, and the daring look later popped up on another always-ahead-of-the-curve star when Marion Cotillard paired her pants with a center-slit ball gown, also by Dior.

Though other stars have tried the dress-pants pairing on the red carpet every now and then, there’s a reason its a rare sighting — it’s hard to pull off. The proportions have to be just right to avoid the layered look from appearing bulky, mismatched or just plain weird.

Unfortunately, Julianne Hough’s attempt at the tricky trend for the New York premiere of Safe Haven demonstrates why this look requires some serious styling chops.

While we applaud the Dancing with the Star alum for taking risks on the red carpet, the proportions of her monochromatic gray separates were off. The past-the-knee George Hobeika dress looked messy with with the tailored ankle-length trousers, and the vibe of the feminine floral-embroidered frock and the office-appropriate front-pleat pants clashed.

Hough’s ensemble would have worked better by losing the embroidery on the dress, shortening it several inches, and layering skinnies underneath for a more streamlined and flattering look.

But hey, that’s just our take. What did you think of Julianne Hough’s dress-over-pants look at the Safe Haven premiere last night? Share your take below.

Not even a blizzard named Nemo could stop the celebrities from leaving their homes.

Like a true fashionista, Heidi Klum braved the elements for New York Fashion Week.

On Friday morning, the 39-year-old beauty joined her Project Runway family, including Zac Posen, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia, as the show’s finalists presented their creations for Fall 2013.

“After so many seasons of @ProjectRunway I still get excited 2 see the designers’ collections @ #NYFW! #DayInTheLife,” Klum wrote on Twitter.

On the west coast, Julianne Hough waved to photographers as she made her way inside Los Angeles International Airport. The 24-year-old Safe Haven star is spending the weekend in Nashville for her sister’s baby shower.

Meanwhile, the Timberlakes — Justin Timberlake and wife Jessica Biel – were spotted in City of Angels on Thursday night — all in the name of the art.

Timberlake took his ladylove to see Darren LeGallo’s latest art exhibition, which aptly hosted by his Trouble With the Curve co-star — and LeGallo’s fiancee – Amy Adams.

In other sightings, Britney Spears went for a quick coffee run with her assistant in Sherman Oaks, Calif., while Emma Roberts picked up a couple pies in Beverly Hills.

For the day’s hottest star sightings, check out the latest edition of Celeb Snaps, above.

The Notebook fans, rejoice – Nicholas Sparks is back on the big screen with another tale of romance in a sleepy Southern town.

In the new film Safe Haven, Sparks tells the tale of a young woman named Katie (Julianne Hough), who finds new love with a widowed father of two named Alex (Josh Duhamel) while trying to escape her troubled past.

In a new TV spot exclusive to Celebuzz, the fair fight for one another – sometimes literally – as their relationship slowly unfolds.

Speaking to her new friend Jo (Cobie Smulders), Katie admits that she arrives in town with a lot of baggage – albeit emotional rather than physical.

“I’ve had things happen to me in the past,” she says.

Katie later confesses to Alex that she finds comfort in their burgeoning relationship. She says, “I’m happy here, with you.”

Alex, thankfully, reassures her that he reciprocates her feelings, and wants to protect her, if he can.

“There’s no safer place than here with me,” he insists.

Safe Haven opens in theaters nationwide February 14 – yep, Valentine’s Day. Will this be the movie you take your significant other to see? Or what will you be doing on that special day? Watch Julianne Hough explain how she explain her on screen snogging to real-life boyfriend Ryan Seacrest, and then let us know in the comments section below!

Though Julianne Hough revealed to Cosmopolitan in early January that she suffered from mental and physical abuse as a child, she declined to offer specifics, or reveal who was responsible.

But Hough has told Celebuzz that she chose to play an abused woman in the new film Safe Haven as a way to exorcise those traumatic experiences.

“I’ve moved on,” she said in a video interview.

“This was a great way for to do something that was healing and open for me, but also it could be helpful for others.”

In the film, Hough plays Katie, a fugitive from the law who hides out in a small North Carolina town after feeling she has no one to turn to for sympathy or support.

She said that she embraced the opportunity to tell victims of abuse not only that they have a voice, but their traumatic past or present needs not define their future.

“It’s about second chances,” Hough explained. “It’s about finding people that you love and that love you – and that you’re not alone.”

“Certain things happen, but it doesn’t dictate your life. You can start your life tomorrow, and that’s what Katie does.”

Watch Celebuzz’ exclusive video interview with Hough for Safe Haven above. And then let us know in the comments section below – how important, or how inappropriate, is it for celebrities to come out with their stories of abuse?
