About DIGNITY
Given the title and Hilary Duff's sophisticated, uptown-girl look on the cover, 2007's DIGNITY seems to announce that the teen starlet is all grown up. Yet the album is still full of effervescent dance-pop, as fresh-faced and catchy as fans of Top 40 and commercial bubblegum would expect. The production techniques, complete with electronic flourishes and nods to club music, are well crafted, to be sure, but DIGNITY isn't about cutting-edge sounds or thumping club bangers. Instead, the electro-beats reinforce the pop song structures and make the singalong tunes shine.
The most sophisticated thing about DIGNITY may be its lyrics. Gossip-mill regulars will be able to parse references to Duff's much-publicized entanglements with other commercial pop stars, but what stands out is Duff's mature response to her life's tumult. The album plays like a confession, but does so with a cool head and a clear eye, underscoring the album's title without detracting from the music's inherently fun, bouncy style.
Biography
Hilary Erhard Duff (born September 28, 1987) is an American actress, pop singer/songwriter and entrepreneur. After gaining fame for playing the title role in the television show Lizzie McGuire, Duff went on to have a film career; her most commercially successful movies include Cheaper by the Dozen (2003), The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003), and A Cinderella Story (2004). She earned $15 million in 2005 and $12 million in 2006 and 2007.
Duff has expanded her repertoire into pop music, with three RIAA certified-platinum albums and over thirteen million albums sold worldwide. Her first studio album, Metamorphosis (2003) was certified triple platinum and she followed it up with two more platinum albums, Hilary Duff (2004) and Most Wanted (2005). Duff's latest studio album, Dignity, was released in April 2007 and was certified Gold in August 2007. So far, the album has shipped 907,300 copies worldwide.
She has also launched a clothing line, Stuff by Hilary Duff, and an exclusive perfume with Elizabeth Arden. Duff and her mother were listed as producers for the movie Material Girls, and she will soon produce her sister's debut album.
Her upcoming films include the 2007 action thriller War, Inc., animated comedy Foodfight! and independent films Greta and Safety Glass.

By megafrancisco: Very bad news for Hilary
So my best friend´s brother works in Hollywood Records and according to him Dignity re-release was postponed to July/August or it might never be released.
Also Hilary said that Reach Out and Touch me will be in her 5th album so it won´t be released in January as it was supposed to happen. Hilary will be writing and recording her new album around March and it can last all year.
The only good thing is that Hilary is coming again to US in her Dignity tour because she had a lot of sucess.

John Cusack on War, Inc.
John Cusack gave a little interview recently about his upcoming movies, including ‘War Inc’ which co-stars Hilary Duff. In the interview, he has a very funny and unique way of describing Hilary Duff’s role:
"Hilary plays a very ****ty pop star, which is the real joke. The idea of Hilary, who is so classy and wholesome, playing a **** is funny. In our movie, she’s a ****ty singer who wants to be like one the girls in the headlines now, although we don’t need to name names."
The most recently updated information on this ‘War Inc’ has May 29 as the premiere date in Netherlands. Although the War, Inc Myspace announced the movie to premiere at Sundance this month, it was never scheduled. The nationwide US premiere is now listed as July 10, 2008.

Fan Vid: Timberlake VS Duff
A user on YouTube has created a video mash-up of Justin Timberlake’s "Love Stoned" and Hilary Duff’s "Stranger". Mostly it’s Timberlake remixed to sing to the beat of "Stranger", but there is some Duff in there too (particularly near the end), and the video is a mix of live concert footage of them both. He has called this video "Strange Love".

2008 is Hilary Duff's Year?!
Splashnewsonline paid Hilary Duff a huge compliment in their post entitled "Is 2008 Hilary Duff’s year?"
It looks like 2008 is going to be all about Britney Spears but I think Hilary Duff is set for a big year. Homegirl has three movies coming out in ‘08 (Greta, Food Fight, and Safety Glass) and she turns 21!
As much as train wrecks keep me employed, I have a feeling she’s not headed into Spears/Hilton/Lohan/Richie territory.
Have to agree with them there! Hilary Duff is going to make a big splash in 2008 - and it won’t be for the wrong reasons.
What kind of public recognition / awards do you think Hilary could achieve in 2008? What do you think will give her a boost in recognition of her music, acting or business?
Quote:
Rumor has it that Hilary is not satisfied just remixing songs for a Dignity re-release and would rather release a whole new album. Hollywood Records is rumored to not be ready for this. I suppose we’ll see what happens!

Hilary Duff interviewed in Girlfriend Mag
Hilary Duff will be hitting Australia for her world tour on January 31 and February 2 & 3.
CENTRE STAGE
Hilary returns to oz for a much-anticipated tour……
Gf recently caught up with our fave chick Hilary Duff over the phone from Mexico City where she was due to present at the Latin MTV Awards (She even counted to five for us to prove her awesome multilingual skills,or lack thereot!….) The 20 year-old superstar hits oz this Jan and Feb for her Dignity tour,which we’re basically freaking out in anticipation for (Just think about Hils performing Gypsy Women omgggggzagm!) Read on to hear about her busy schedule,her future plans and her sweet new guy….
Gf:You’ve:You’ve been very busy lately so,there’s a bunch of things to talk about! Are you pleased how your album Dignity turned out?
Hilary: Definitely.It was the first time that I wrote the whole record and it’s very personal. It’s really scary to open up and not have any walls up and talk about real stuff,you know? But I’ve never gotten such good reviews on my albums before so it’s defiantly exciting!
Gf:Have:Have you been thinking about your next album?
Kind of. The last record was so different from my previous stuff that I really want the next record to go in a completely different direction again. I want to learn to play a new instrument,I think that would be cool for the next record.
Gf:You’re:You’re also shooting a new movie we saw some pics on the net of you getting pounded by the waves at a beach…..
Oh yeah! I heard that some tabloid reported that I was drowning or something!
Gf:Yeah:Yeah! So it wasn’t true?
(Laughs) No! The movies called Greta and I play a girl growing up and coming to terms with who she is. She gets sent to spend the Summer in New Jersey with her Grandparents,she’s miserable at first and she thinks about killing herself,it’s a very intense story.
Gf:Are there any similarlaties between yourself and the character?
Yeah! I guess everyone has some kind of preconceived of who I’m and that I’m always bubbly and happy. But you know,I’m normal too and I have a different side of me that’s not so easy to explain, and I’ve really been able to pull from that into my character. It’s been really a big learning experience for me and I’ve had to challenge myself a bit.
Gf:We read that your boyfriend Mike (Comrie;pro ice hockey player) bought you a mercedes for your 20th birthday?
He did.
Gf: Do you feel like your going to have to match that gift this Valentines Day?
No! You know,my friend actually asked me that too,and it’s not about that. The way he did it…."I called him and I was like,"You are crazy!" I was in shock, you know? And he was like "It’s the only thing I’ve ever heard you tell your mum you wanted to get yourself so I wanted to get it for you" And I was like "Omg, You’re insane!" But anyway,I defiantly want to get him something really nice,but I’m not going to get him a car! I think that would be so meaningless if i was trying match his gift you know?
Gf:Right.Let’s:Right.Let’s see you could give him a handmade card or something?
(Laughs)Hey,a nice lovely card is a lovely gift,but I think I might have to do a bit more….
Gf:What:What are you looking forward to most these holidays?
Oh,you know what I want the most? I want a vacation. Like,with everyone that I love where there’s no work and nobody has to do anything except eat and lay on the beach and get spoilt! I’ve actually been thinking about it a lot lately. I feel so ignorant. People are always like,"Oh you’ve travelled everywhere you’ve been to Australia and you’ve done this and that….." and I’m like yeah,but I don’t get to see any of it,you know? At the end of the day I’m so exhausted I just want to fall into my hotel bed! So I think this time I’ll see a bit of the country.
Gf:How:How have you been taking care of your body this year?
Well,I’m kind of a pilates junkie.I’m not that disciplined when I’m travelling,but when I’m in LA,I try to do it three times a week and I try to eat right.But you have to eat fast food every once in a while.It puts you in a good mood!
Gf:What:What are your thoughts on the whole size zero trend?
It’s defiantly become a scary obsession for some girls.There’s nothing attractive about it and I think it can consume in your mind if you worry about it.I mean,there’s a lot of attention of celebrites and it can stress you out,so I kinda got obsessed with it for a while there too.It was really crazy too,coz when I started gaining some weight back,I think the press actually noticed I did! So it’s kind of a scary cycle that perpetuates itself.It’s not healthy.
Gf:How:How often do you go out and get totally wild?
Hmmm,I don’t really like going out and acting crazy with my friends,but often I’ll wake up and just wanna try something I’ve never tried before.You know,but I also like to be in control and I like to have fun and also be a bit of a daredevil.
Gf:How:How do you chill out before a gig?
I do my own makeup,it’s very relaxing.I feel if I wasn’t a performer,I’d probably want to be a makeup artist coz I really like it and I feel I’m good at it, too.
Gf:Who’s your ultimate celeb crush?
I actually worked on a film with John Cusack and I love him! He’s so funny and he’s,like,the coolest person on the planet.He’s kind of the cool dork(laughs).We became really good friends when we were working together.
Gf:Your dog’s Jack and Lola are super cute! What are the naughtiest thing they’ve done lately?
Well,Lola’s bad all the time!My dog’s are very smart and they know how to get back at me.If I leave them alone for a few hours,they’ll totally go to the bathroom in the house or something.But they’re totally like my kids;I’m obsessed with them.
Gf:We can’t wait to see you perform when you get down here…
I can’t wait either! I’m excited.The show is so different from what I’ve done before,and I’m looking forward to spending time in Australia.I might even hang out for a bit after the tour. It’s going to be great!
CONGRATULATIONS to Avril Lavigne with "Girlfriend" for being the 1st most watched video on Much Music and all over the world!!!!

Dignity Re-release Cancelled??
According to many sources, the re-release of Hilary Duff's third full-length studio compilation Dignity has been canceled. The re-release was supposed to feature all the tracks of Dignity remixed, plus new recordings by Hilary Duff. However, according to recent reports, everything has been canceled, except for maybe the forthcoming single Reach Out. Does anyone remember how Play With Fire came out much, much, much before the release of Dignity? Hilary is planning on doing the same thing soon.
Rumor has it that Hilary is going to scrap the re-release, and she's going to work on a new full-length album set for 2008. Her label is planning to release 'Reach Out' as a heater single much before the actual album just to give her fans a 'taste' of what her new album is going to sound like (Similar to what she did with 'Play With Fire' - she released it way before 'Dignity' to show her fans what her new sound is like). Anyhow, I hope we get to hear 'Reach Out' soon - I can't wait for new material! Whatever happens - happens for the best

I can’t wait either! I’m excited.The show is so different from what I’ve done before,and I’m looking forward to spending time in Australia.I might even hang out for a bit after the tour. It’s going to be great!
Anyway, With Love & Stranger did awesome on the charts. Due to lack of promotion...the album suffers. She should release at least another single from Dignity and if it doesnt work out, time to move on.
