Hilary Duff: A Sexy Woman! + Hilary's new obsession?
Hilary Duff
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.
Current NEWS
1. Hilary's new obsession?[
Hockey Is Hilary Duff's 'New Obsession'
Hilary Duff can put away her Hockey for Dummies book. She's a full-on fan now, thanks to boyfriend Mike Comrie of the New York Islanders.
"[Hockey] has kind of been a new obsession," Duff told PEOPLE at Monday night's premiere of her new film, War, Inc., at the Cadillac Lounge at Tenjune. "When I'm in New York, I'm going to hockey games a lot."
And Comrie returns the favor.
"He sits through days of press, of me doing interviews, like one after another after another, and doesn't complain about it," said Duff (who stars alongside John Cusack and Marisa Tomei in the offbeat political satire). "He was a good sport today."
The 27-year-old Comrie also joined Duff ? wearing a black Dolce & Gabbana dress and Christian Louboutin pumps ? at her premiere, part of the Tribeca Film Festival.
"It's fun to get all dressed up," said the 20-year-old. "I feel like I haven't done it in a long time."
After the screening, the two chatted with moviegoers before heading over to Meatpacking District hotspot Tenjune for the after-party.
The too-cute twosome held court in the VIP area with Duff's sister Haylie. But they only had eyes for each other, whispering and sharing brief kisses all evening.

3. Reach Out will feature the Prophet!
1. It's been decided that the version of "Reach Out" with "The Prophet" will be released as the original version of the song. (Meaning the tour version without "The Prophet" won't be released & the version with "The Prophet" will not be labeled as a remix.) It will be sent to the Pop, Rhythmic & Urban radio stations.
2. The video will also feature "The Prophet."
3. Hollywood Records is still debating on the best time to release the single. On one hand they want to release it before July & promote it throughout the summer. On the other, they're wondering if it'd be better to release the track around the time that "Greta" comes out.
Questions asked:
4. Is it true that Hilary will be on Timbaland's "Shock Value 2?"
A: Not at all. They have not collaborated.
5. How did the whole "Reach Out" & "The Prophet" collaboration come about?
A: Hilary recorded the song to premiere on tour back in July 2007. It was originally going to be only her on the track. Ryan Tedder, the producer of the song thought that the song would benefit with a rapper on it. He asked his good friend, "The Prophet" if he'd like to contribute to the song. After discussing the collaboration with the label, Ryan got permission for the rap.
"The Prophet" was very thankful for the opportunity & is eagerly anticipating the release of the single.

None of her first singles have ever leaked. They've been premiered in some way either by video or radio. I don't expect to hear the HQ of the song until the video's released or when she premieres it on radio.

Current NEWS
Reach Out to be released with Greta?
1. The label wants "Reach Out" to be released when "Greta" is to save promotional money, but Hilary wants it released long before that.
2. The plan is to release "Greta" in either September or October. (According to execs from the film) They want to put up a release date by the end of this month.
3. HR still hasn't changed her album release time period schedule for some odd reason.
4. Hilary has a clause in her record contract that forbids her from talking openly about what she's working on musically. This is why she's been so mum about her recording career.
5. Hilary recorded "I Can't Wait" around April/May of 2002. So our girl Hilary has officially been in the music business for 6 years! Congrats!
