Good news for Hilary Duff’s career! The actress/singer appears to be engaged to her hockey star boyfriend, Mike Comrie. The pair, who have dated since 2007, were spotted by paparazzi cameras on the balcony of their Hawaii hotel, cuddling, snuggling and drinking wine. (To answer your question: No, it doesn’t look like she’s headed downtown in that one pic. It’s a stomach kiss, ya pervs.) The photos then show Mike getting down on one knee and proposing, we assume, to Hillary, as she covers her mouth in shock. Further proof: she then returns to the balcony and takes a photo with her iPhone of the giant ring on her left hand. (Check out the pics on ONTD.)
Hilary used to do actual things that made her famous: she starred as Lizzie Maguire (aka, the Hannah Montana of the early 2000s) on the Disney Channel, feuded with Lindsay Lohan over Aaron Carter and had a huge album in 2003, from which the opening theme of “The Hills” was born (thanks for that, Hil). But then she got giant vaneers on her teeth, lost a lot of weight (that she eventually gained back, thankfully) and got stuck doing things washed-up actresses do, like gust starring on “Gossip Girl.”
Let’s hope some new bling and a wedding help to reboot her career and, as a bonus, make her less-talented sister Haylie jealous. Lest we forget: Congrats Hilary! You landed a Canadian, and according what we’ve seen during the Olympics, they’re nice. Well done. [Photo: SplashNewsOnline]
We spotted Hilary Duff sporting this super-sexy black and gold mini on the “Gossip Girl” set this week and it triggered a memory in the back of our brain: Miley Cyrus had rocked the same frock last November at the American Music Awards! Both ladies are nothing short of gorgeous, and both built their careers at Disney before blossoming into full-fledged megastars. But which one wore this chic number better?

We’ve always pondered who we would want to play us in the film version of our life (you know, the super exciting adventures of going to a liberal arts college and then moving to New York, only to become depressed about our love life and career — it’s a story we share with about 5 million other people). Megan McCain, who is currently writing an autobiographical book, definitely has some casting ideas though for herself. “I want Hilary Duff to play me. I think she’s really hot — hotter than me — but I’d still want her to play me.”
McCain describes her upcoming book as “Half political, and it’s half a memoir. It’s like Primary Colors meets Tori Spelling’s sTori Telling. I want young women to actually be able to read it.” Ah yes, we remember curling up with sTori Telling, that old chestnut is an annual tradition.
McCain is glad she didn’t end up as First Daughter, telling the New York Daily News, “You know those Disney movies [where princesses are always well guarded]? Life in the White House is just like that, except there were no cute guards. Seriously, none of them were cute at all!”
Hilary Duff is on vacation withher beefy boyfriend Mike Comrie in Hawaii, and the starlet has been spotted becoming one with the waves. The singer sported a black string bikini as she played in the water, looking relaxed and removed from her fast-paced Hollywood lifestyle. More pics below. [Photo: Splash News Online]
Some celebrities roll out of bed looking flawless. We’re looking at you, Jessica Alba and Beyonce. Other Hollywood glamazons, like Heidi Montag and Katherine Heigl, need the aid of some concealer, mascara, and lipstick to push them to camera-ready status. And for those stars who aren’t naturally radiant, the paparazzi show no mercy. They’ll relentlessly snap photos of celebs exiting a gym, finishing a triathlon, or disembarking from a transcontinental flight. These unflattering shots end up all over the gossip rags, making us commoners feel better about the bags under our eyes and less-than-perfect skin. Take a gander at Hollywood’s hottest ladies in the buff. Cosmetically speaking.
Hilary Duff has every right to be pissed at Faye Dunaway right now. When Dunaway found out the Disney queen was starring in a kinda-sorta-but-legally-not-a-remake of her classic ’60s movie Bonnie & Clyde, the O.G. Bonnie cracked “couldn’t they have at least cast a real actress?” Are you saying that Lizzie McGuire wasn’t real acting, Faye? Way to support the next generation!
Not that Duff is taking the high road. When E! brought up the Dunaway dis to Duff, the former Disney doll bared her claws. “I think that my fans that are going to go see the movie don’t even know who she is, so you know…I think it was a little unnecessary, but I might be mad if I looked like that now too.” Rowr!
Watch that karma, Hil. If you look enough like Dunaway to imitate her in Allure last year, there’s no reason to think you won’t look like her when you’re older.
If you ever wanted to see Hilary Duff weild a tommy gun, you’re about to get your chance. The former Lizzie McGuire will play bank robber Bonnie Parker in the upcoming indie film The Story Of Bonnie And Clyde. The producers swear it’s not a remake of 1967’s classic Bonnie And Clyde, and that writer-director Tonya S. Holly was inspired by finding old newspaper articles about their crime spree in an abandoned house.
It’s a cute story that will keep them from having to acquire remake rights, but the decision to cast Duff sure looks more like a nod to Faye Dunaway than those grainy-ass photos of the real-life gun moll. Not that we’re complaining—Dunaway’s outfits had a big influence on ’60s fashion and we’re totally down with a resurgence. But Kevin Zegers as Clyde? Was Zac Efron not available?
Hilary Duff is kinda pissed that we all thought she was (still) a virgin. According to the singer, a statement she made about her lack of a sex life was apparently false, and the Duffster will be damned if anyone thinks otherwise. “I was quoted saying I was a virgin, but I absolutely did not say that. That’s nobody’s business but my own.”
The quote in question is from an interview she did in 2006 with Elle magazine. “It’s harder having a boyfriend who’s older because people just assume. But [virginity] is definitely something I like about myself. It doesn’t mean I haven’t thought about sex, because everyone I know has had it and you want to fit in,” Hilary supposedly said. “But when they talk about it, it doesn’t sound special, like you would imagine it to be. It just seems like everybody has slept with each other – you know what I mean?”
Elle is standing behind their reporting “100 percent,” which means someone’s not givin’ it to us straight. Someone needs to give Joel Madden a call and dig up the truth about Hil’s hoo-ha. [FilmMagic]
It seems like Hilary Duff, who just turned 21, has been trying to shed her Tween Queen status for years — and, from the looks of it, her upcoming Maxim spread might help her effort a little bit. On the cover of January’s “Sexiest Stars of 2009″ issue, Duff dons a very sexy dress and lingerie while explaining why she plays a temptress in her music video for “Reach Out.”
“I was ready to do something different. The intention was not to be overtly sexual, I’m not naked. I do have little shorts on in it … It’s good to show different sides of youself.”
Translation: In Hollywood, sex sells. It’s crass, we know. But just ask Miley “Sexy Pics” Cyrus, who at 15 years old was ranked No. 35 on Forbes‘ list of the 100 richest and most influential personalities. Duff didn’t make the cut. [Source: Oh No They Didn't via Maxim]
After the jump, watch Duff’s hyper-sexual “Reach Out.”
Hilary Duff has filmed a PSA for the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network that aims to fight anti-gay language by out-catting the hags who use it. In the clip, a girl in a clothing store tells her friend an outfit is totally gay. Duff interrupts to note that you “shouldn’t call something ‘gay’ when you mean something’s ‘bad.’” When the dowdily dressed homophobe fails to grasp the message, she explains what if every time something was bad, everybody said ‘that’s so girl wearing a skirt as a top’?” OH SNAP. Duff attempts to cushion the blow by complimenting her jeans (you can’t fight hate with hate, see), the closing text underlines the message. “When you say ‘that’s so gay,’ do you realize what you say? Knock it off.”
However odd it is to watch Hilary snap off on someone’s fashion, it’s an admirable sentiment that we hope is embellished further. Maybe Shia LaBeouf, as an apology to the LGB community, could tell a young dude not to use “cocksucker” as an insult, unless he wants his girlfriend—if he ever gets one—to think sucking his cock is a bad thing. Now that’s a public service announcement that’s long overdue.
