Mitt, Schmitt: Who's Your Favorite Celebrity Mormon?
With wins in the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary, Mitt Romney has a leg up in the race for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012.
If he won the right to face our first African-American President, Barack Obama, Romney would become the first Mormon on a major party ticket.
While this is hardly an endorsement of Romney, good for him, and for voters embracing candidates of varying religions, backgrounds and ethnicity.
In honor of Mitt, here are a bunch of celebrity Mormons you might not know about! Who's your favorite? Read THG's Top 10 and vote in our poll:
10. Mitt Romney. He'll never be accused of being electrifying on the campaign trail, but he wins. And least so far. Plus, he's got the hair.
9. Jon Huntsman. Another family man and GOP presidential candidate who embraces his Mormon beliefs. Doing not quite as well in the polls.
8. Amy Adams of Enchanted fame was raised Mormon. Who knew!
7. Marie Osmond and her siblings grew up in a strict Mormon home.
6. Aaron Eckhart of The Dark Knight fame was raised Mormon. Eckhart even transferred to BYU and graduated from the Mormon University in '94.
5. (tie) Paul Walker. That's one fast, furious, handsome Mormon! And Jon Heder. Napoleon Dynamite quotes. Enough said on both accounts.
4. Katherine Heigl. While no longer a practicing Mormon, the former Grey's Anatomy star credits her LDS upbringing with shaping her character.
3. Lacey Schwimmer. DWTS pro and Mormon (as are our co-#1s).
2. David Archuleta. The American Idol runner-up recently announced he's stepping out of the limelight to embark on a two-year Mormon mission.
1. Julianne and Derek Hough. The Footloose star and DWTS pro siblings pretty much hit the genetic jackpot with looks, charm and physical abilities.

Fashion Face-Off: Stacy Keibler vs. Julianne Hough
Warning: the following Fashion Face-Off may cause your computer screen to fog up.
Both Stacy Keibler and Julianne Hough walked the red carpet of last night's Hollywood Film Awards held at The Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, California and, somehow, the path under these hotties' feet did not catch on fire.
Keibler was on hand as George Clooney's date, while Hough was there to represent her remake of Footloose. Both looked gorgeous. But only one could look the MOST gorgeous. Vote that individual now:
Julianne Hough Sizzles in Shape
Julianne Hough knows how to cut Footloose ... and stay in Shape.
Her workout secrets? Trying hard, but not depriving herself either.
"I feel sexy when I'm taking care of myself," she says. "I vary workouts every day because, otherwise, I get bored. I always try to run for 20-40 minutes on the beach first. Six days a week is fantastic, but four is great, too."
The former Dancing With the Stars pro loves to stay active other times, too:
"Rollerblading is a serious leg workout! When I have a day off, I want to be outside-unless I'm on my bed with my dogs watching an SVU marathon!"
"I grew up mountain biking in Utah, and I've been doing it a lot more recently since working in Miami. I crave danger. I find going fast exhilarating!"
"I adore snowboarding, skiing and skydiving."
That explains the 23-year-old's defined legs and abs. Did we mention she can sing, dance and act, too? Suffice it to say, Ryan Seacrest is a lucky individual.
Julianne Hough Returns, Cuts Footloose on Dancing With the Stars!
Last night's Dancing With the Stars results show saw the end of Chynna Phillips' journey on the ABC program. She could not, pardon the pun, hold on for one more day.
On a more uplifting note, former DWTS pro Julianne Hough returned to the show that launched her career, performing two numbers to promote her new film Footloose.
Julianne danced to “Holding Out for a Hero” with co-star Kenny Wormald, then jived with her brother, current DWTS pro Derek Hough on “Shake Your Tail Feather.”
There's certainly been a void since Julianne left the show, and we're not talking about her gorgeousness (not entirely anyway). Girl can move it! Watch her below:

Did Christina Aguilera Attack Julianne Hough?
Did Christina Aguilrea get down and dirrty with Julianna Hough at a party over the weekend?
Insiders tell E! News that Aguilera confronted her Burlesque co-star at a pre-Golden Globes shindig at the Soho House in Hollywood on Friday night.
"Christina really got in her face," a witness claims, detailing how Aguilera unleashed a verbal assault on Hough and tried to grab her.
The day after an alleged confrontation between these two, Christina Aguilera and Julianne Hough sizzled on the red carpet.
Sources on the set of their movie say Aguilera and Hough never got along, although it's unclear why the former allegedly threatened the country singing career of the latter in this incident.
"The whole thing was troubling. People felt bad for Julianne," said an onlooker.
Aguilera's rep, of course, refers to this report as "nonsense." No word yet from anyone in Hough's camp.
