Julianne Hough has such a big heart!

After a relaxing trip to a Beverly Hills salon, the Footloose star stopped to brighten a homeless man's day by giving him a buck, on Thursday afternoon.

The blonde stunner has been hard at working shooting scenes in Hollywood for her upcoming film, Rock of Ages, but she's already gearing up to begin work on her next project!

Hough will star in an upcoming still-untitled Diablo Cody film that will show a completely different side of the triple threat. "I'm actually in pre-production right now and I go to New Orleans in about three weeks and start shooting," she recently revealed to MTV News. "It's strictly acting — no singing or dancing. [It's] a big challenge and I like that."

Julianne Hough has gone to the dark side, and we're loving it!

The blonde beauty wore head to toe black while leaving Bar Marmont in West Hollywood. Sexy toenails, Ms. Hough! Beau Ryan Seacrest is one lucky dude.

We can't wait to see Ms. Hough on the big screen in Rock of Ages when the flick hits theaters on June 1.

Simply stunning!

Julianne Hough wowed on the PCA's red carpet in a backless silver sequined party dress that was cut super low at the bottom, but where was beau Ryan Seacrest?

The Footloose star isn't nominated for any awards this year, but Seacrest's American Idol won the Favorite Competition Show honor, yet again!

We're betting Miss Hough gets a PCA nomination next year for her sexy role in Rock of Ages!

Last night Ryan Seacrest and girlfriend Julianne Hough dined at Italian eatery Mercato Di Vetro, and the couple were all smiles as they left the WeHo hotspot. Everyone from Marilyn Manson to Paris Hilton has paid a visit to the restaurant since it opened last month, so clearly this is the place to go to have your picture taken for a delicious meal!

Ryan will be spending some quality time with another blonde in the months to come, as it was reported the other day that he will co-produce his first film with Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon. Is there anything he can't do!?

Now that Footloose is a big hit, Julianne Hough is on her way to being a BIG star!

But that doesn't mean she's not still a hard worker. After landing at LAX Tuesday night, she carried her own bags to her car!

Julianne landed with Footloose co-star Kenny Worlmald -- the two were traveling to promote the flick. See a pic of Kenny -- and a mystery girl! -- after the jump!

Showing off her fit physique in a sexy ab-bearing ensemble, Footloose star Julianne Hough covers Self's October issue, and spills all the deets on how she maintains that perfect 'bod.

The Dancing With the Stars alum revealed she likes action-packed activities, and tries to fit them into her daily workouts.

Hough tells Self:

"I grew up mountain biking in Utah, and I’ve been doing it more recently since working in Miami. I crave danger. I find going fast exhilarating! I adore snowboarding, skiing, and skydiving. I crave danger. I find going fast exhilarating! I adore snowboarding, skiing, and skydiving."

And the Rock of Ages star has to mix it up in order to keep motivated. "I vary my workouts every day because, otherwise, I get bored. I always try to run for 20 to 40 minutes on the beach first, six days a week is fantastic, but four is great too," she confessed.

The 23-year-old stunner has been dating Ryan Seacrest for over a year, and while the A-list pair insist on keeping their relationship private, Hough did say of her man: "If you don’t know yourself, you can’t really love anybody. Today, I am really happy with who I am and feel like I’m in the right place. I’d met Ryan many times over the years, but we got together at the right time."
