From Hilary Duff‘s teen years as the title character on Disney’s Lizzie McGuire to dating Joel Madden to marrying hockey player Mike Comrie and carrying his baby, the bubbly blonde has lived a jam-packed 24 years. To honor Duff’s birthday today, let’s take a stroll down memory lane.
Blonde swap! It seems that instead of Hilary Duff, Lindsay Pulsipher will star in The Story of Bonnie And Clyde, the biopic of famed bank robbers Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Appearing across from as-yet uncast Clyde, Pulsipher is most well-known for playing werepanther Crystal Norris on True Blood, a sentence that just convinced us that we have to start watching True Blood.
Considering that Hilary Duff’s pregnancy might have the actress craving some free time (and, um, she made $100,000 to do nothing), we doubt Hilary is too peeved about the casting decision. “We are thrilled to welcome Lindsay Pulsipher as Bonnie Parker in The Story of Bonnie and Clyde,” the film’s producter Tonya S. Holly told Us Magazine. “Lindsay will undoubtedly bring many layers to this critical role. This is a gripping story about two of the most legendary fugitives in history.” And if the producers want to play fast and loose with whether or not Bonnie and Clude were actually werepanthers…we’re not going to lodge any complaints.

What’s been getting into Hollywood lately!? Everyday it seems like there’s another celebrity pregnancy to report. Did somebody drop some Luther Vandross into the LA water supply or something? We’ve told you that Hilary Duff, Jason Bateman, and Beyonce (!) all have babies on the way, and now you can add Robert Downey Jr. to Celeb Lamaze class. Yes, RDJ is expecting a child with Susan Levin, his wife of six years, according to Star Magazine.
“The baby is due in February,” says Susan’s aunt, Nancy Miller. “Susan’s father, my brother, called me about three weeks ago with the good news. Her parents are over the moon about it.” It’s still too early to tell if the Iron Baby will be a boy or a girl. “It [doesn't] really matter if it’s a boy or a girl. What really matters is that the baby is healthy.” Although a first time for Susan, this is Robert’s second time becoming a parent. His first child, Indio Falconer Downey, was born in 1993 to his first wife, Deborah Falconer. Congrats to the happy couple!

Hey, Eminem sort of had a “Bonnie & Clyde” co-starring a baby; why not the Duffster? TMZ is reporting that allegedly Hilary Duff was let go from The Story of Bonnie and Clyde due to the brand-new baby friend she has on the way. Just a week after Hilary Duff’s pregnancy was announced, a source claims that the film is moving on without her as the female lead. “Hilary won’t be available until next June. If we could wait we would,” the source said, completely missing the fact that a pregnant Hilary Duff would be the only reason to see this movie. Plus all the berets.
Hilary’s departure from the movie was reportedly amicable, and we certainly hope that’s the case. The fact that filmmakers are looking to replace Clyde actor Kevin Zegers too suggests the the entire film is undergoing a shake-up. Considering how long we’ve been hearing rumors about this movie (at least 2009), maybe Hilary just didn’t want to wait until she’d need a bionic womb to start a family? At this rate they can just rehire Duff after she gives birth. Or when she’s 80.

She’s a yummy mommy for a second time now — as Taylor Lautner is well aware (poor guy). Jessica Alba gave birth to a daughter — she has two girls now — over the weekend and her name is Haven Garner. Jess announced the news via her Facebook page writing, “Hope you enjoyed the weekend. Cash and I are so excited to announce the birth of our daughter, Haven Garner Warren. She was born on Saturday [Aug. 13], weighed 7 lbs, and was 19 inches long. Healthy and happy! Big sister Honor [Marie, 3] couldn’t be more excited about the new addition to our family.”
This is so cute! Little Haven was born in L.A. and we’re surprised she didn’t come a little sooner considering Jess looked ready to pop at the Spy Kids 4 premiere, two weeks ago. And we love the fact that she has two girls now (we’re biased, of course). So much estrogen at the FABlife today, what with Hilary Duff announcing her pregnancy too. Major congratulations to Jessica, Cash and their expanded brood. Do you guys like the name of their latest addition?

Hilary Duff is pregnant! Yay for her and husband, pro hockey player Mike Comrie. This news also totally puts our ovaries to shame because, to press so fine a point — they’re so young! But, yes, we need to get over the fact that Hilary Duff is not 12, and didn’t just get done fighting with Lindsay Lohan over Aaron Carter. Those days are long gone, and the Duffster has now been a married lady for a year. To the date, guys — they got hitched on August 14, 2010 in Montecito, California.
Hils broke the news on her official website writing, “ Hello everyone! This weekend, Mike and I are celebrating our 1 year anniversary! … We also want to share the exciting news that…… BABY MAKES THREE!!! We are extremely happy and ready to start this new chapter of our lives. Thanks to everyone for the continued love and support throughout the years!” Awww. Congratulations you two! Boy, girl or are you going to go the surprise route?

Hilary Duff paid a visit to the VH1 offices this week and we got a chance to talk to her about — what else? — The Hunger Games. Duff is one of those triple threats: singer, actor and Young Adult fiction writer. Her novel Elixir is a New York Times bestseller, so it seems only fitting that we chat with her about the next big book-to-movie franchise. She declared her love for one of Katniss’ suitors in the video above, and filled us in on her own book-to-movie dreams. Is Elixir next? Check out the video below to find out!
Hilary Duff visited VH1′s Big Morning Buzz today and addressed rumors that she had been dropped from the film Bonnie and Clyde. “Well according to TMZ I got fired,” Hilary quipped sarcastically. “That’s always the website I go to for all the information I need to know.” Burn! We assume she’s talking about this TMZ post, which alleged that Hilary was axed from the film (the site later backtracked on their claim). Hilary clarified that she spoke with the director and the story is “not true.” Clip above.
Shock of shocks, the reputable reports at Star were incorrect in claiming that Hilary Duff is pregnant. Though she texted Access Hollywood host Billy Bush “Be nice to know who my ‘friend’ is though that is telling people that,” she doesn’t sound too bothered by the false information, cracking “Maybe I should start wearing some tighter clothes lol.”
The lols continued on Duff’s Twitter feed. “Wow what a way to wake up and find out your pregs! It’s just a rumor guys! Not true. But thanks for all the good wishes! Lol.” Considering the 23-year-old has only been married to hockey player Michael Comrie for less than half a year, it’s not like they don’t have plenty of time to make Star‘s story accurate in the future.
