Hilary was spotted grocery shopping in Toluca Lake. And guess what? She’s not wearing scarves anymore! She didn’t wear a scarf the next day either. These were from July 2. She’s probably preparing for a July 4th celebration. Aww, no more beach parties, Hil? =( Hope you had a great July 4th, Hil.

Also, I hope the Americans had a great 4th of July.

Hilary can’t look any more worried yesterday, June 3 when she visited the Santa Monica, California Animal Hospital. I really hope one of her pets are fine. Because on the picture above, she looks like she’s about to cry — but she didn’t. Or maybe she went there to adopt yet another pet! But I don’t get what’s up with the sad faces, if that’s the case.

Her mom, Susan and another relative went with her, and Hilary brought her new purse for everyone to see! Oh, and not to forget — Hilary looks absolutely amazing this day. Putting aside that she’s upset.

Hope your pets are fine, Hilary!

Can you imagine Hilary wearing something like that on such an environment?
Take off your scarf, Hil! Enjoy the sun! Fashion just makes you feel uncomfortable.

Hilary posted a new blog entry at her official-blog-at-the-official-fanclub-at-the-official-site. [Wow.] It’s from June 26. Getting kinda late around here! And sorry about that.

Today I am at the dentist! Not fun! LA is hot, hot, hot! I’ve been home doing things around my house! It’s been nice to kind of go through all the stuff I have accumulated over the past years of my life on tour. Haven’t had a chance to get rid of things I don’t want anymore!!! I feel like a total pack rat!! Hehe. After this week I should be finished. I bet my head will feel clear and my home will be organized! A few nights ago my friend invited Mike and I to go watch the Groundlings, it’s a comedian and actors work studio. It was really funny! And two nights ago the director of Safety Glass invited me to the premiere of The Wackness, which was great. I filmed with Josh Peck and Olivia Thirlby in Safety Glass so it was so nice to see all of them and catch up.
Ok, well that’s all for now!! I will update again soon! Peace!

Hope you had fun organizing your house, Hil!

May 10 - Shopping at Robertson Boulevard

Hilary and her family is featured in the latest issue of InStyle Magazine. Pick up your copy now!

HILARY: I love when we cook at my mom’s house. We are all completely obsessed with the Food Network. We want our mom to have her own cooking show! Right now she’s putting together a cookbook for us.

SUSAN: My girls are so sweet and generous. They come over for dinner every Sunday night and bring their friends. We speak three or four times a day. Even if we’re not in the same country, we’ll text.

HAYLIE: Teaching Mom how to text was a mistake! It’ll be like, “Bananas supermarket movie 8 P.M.” And bananas is spelled B-L-A-N-A-P-S-A-Q. But I understand it, that’s the best part! Growing up, music was a big part of our household, and it still is: My mom has been bugging me to burn all my iTunes for her.

HILARY: This past year we went through a lot. My parents getting divorced was hard. I guess we grouped together. We could always tell each other when we needed each other, no matter what time of day or night.

HAYLIE: Our grandma also passed away recently, and I remember sitting with my mom and sister and thinking, This is my family; this is who’s there for me no matter what, and I am there for them. It was this feeling of solidarity and ultimate companionship and so much love.

Hilary is on the cover of Lucky Magazine for April 2008, and we have the scans and a high quality cover for you.

Do you know all of Hilary’s Hollywood friends? Here’s one, and it’s quite surprising and unexpected in a good way.

In the latest issue of Seventeen Magazine, Hayden Panettiere says that Hilary is one of her closest friends in Hollywood. Who knew? Maybe we’ll see pictures of them two hanging out. Read the original interview below.

“Hilary [Duff] is one of the closer people to me in the business. She’s a very down-to-earth person. She’s humble, very sweet, she’s low-key.”

With the release of her new album, Hilary Duff explains why her ambitions for this stage of her career can be summed up by its title, Dignity.

The headline was any singer’s nightmare: “Hilary Duff caught lip-synching.”

Gossip website PerezHilton.com made the claim earlier this month, the “proof” being a link to a grainy YouTube clip of Duff on stage in Mexico visibly singing despite nothing coming out of the microphone.

A few seconds later she sings again and this time the crowd can hear what sounds very much like live vocals.

“It sucks,” she says. “So many people have been caught lip-synching. Sometimes that’s just how people do it. Whatever. That’s not the way I like to do things. It’s not like I dance for my entire show, so there’s no reason I’d have an excuse to not sing. People should know I don’t lip-synch. It’s embarrassing. No one understands the technical side of it.”

“My mic wasn’t turned off, but before the show, I’m warming up my voice, saying a prayer with my dancers (and) we don’t let anyone hear that. But I’d gone on to say ‘Hello Mexico‘ and I could hear it in my ears, but no one else could hear it, and they realised the mute button had been pushed.”

“It sucks because I’ve worked so hard. I put months into preparing for this tour, then people do stuff like that. It hurts your feelings, but the more you defend yourself, the more you feel it makes you look guilty, even though you’re not. It’s lose-lose. People are waiting for any excuse to say you’ve screwed up or something’s gone wrong, so they make accusations like that.”

Some may suggest it’s the latest attempt to find a crack in the Duff armor by those who make a living feeding on celebrity foibles. Read More »

You’d think that Mike Comrie, center for the New York Islanders, has to deal with a lot more paparazzi than your average NHL hockey player.After all, his girlfriend is Hilary Duff.  He showers her with humble gifts such last year’s $100,000 Mercedes-Benz G-class SUV birthday present, which certainly sparks the interest of the press.

Surprisingly, Comrie says that when he’s with Hilary Duff is when he’s truly able to escape the constant scrutiny.

“I guess I’m contradicting myself a bit, but I can duck out when I’m with her,” he recently told the Edmonton Journal. “I’m not in a city with a million people where they’re all keeping an eye on what you do. She’s in a business where her fans want to know what she’s doing in her day-to-day life and I realize and understand that. I guess that comes with dating someone in that business.”

And from all indications, he’s still head over heels for the pop star.

“Things are still great,” he gushed. “We’ve been pretty serious since the summer. She’s a good person. She does a lot of things for charity, a lot of things people don’t know.”
