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.

Lacey Schwimmer Stands Up for Chaz Bono, Slams DWTS Critics
Lacey Schwimmer really doesn't get it.
Some people are taking issue with Chaz Bono appearing on Dancing with the Stars because this individual has undergone a gender transformation? This is an example of Hollywood tearing down traditional values? Really?!?
"It's disappointing," Schwimmer, who is partnered with Bono on DWTS, told The Insider. "No human is perfect, so why are they pointing out what they perceive to be an imperfection in someone else? It's not cool. We're all taught to not bully, or harass, and treat everyone as equals yet all these people are doing exactly the opposite."
Earlier today, Cher also stood by her controversial son. It should all make up for an interesting, highly-related season of Dancing with the Stars, that's for certain.
Where do you stand on the casting of Chaz Bono?

Cheryl Burke and Lacey Schwimmer Accused of Being Fatties
Both Cheryl Burke and Lacey Schwimmer are still alive on this season of Dancing with the Stars.
Still, former co-star and professional dancer Louis van Amstel says the two women are too fat for the competition. Seriously!
"If you want to gain weight, it's your prerogative," van Amstel says in the newest issue of TV Guide. "[People] look at this show to be inspired and think, 'If I just work hard enough, I can look like that...' If they watch someone who's dancing her butt off and she's still heavy, they can be discouraged. You have to take responsibility."
Wow. How do you really feel, Louis?
Maksim Chmerkovskiy is equally critical of Burke and Schwimmer.
"When I first saw these women this season, I said, 'Guys, you know the camera adds 10 pounds,'" he said. "'You have to do something about this."
