Hilary Duff: Houston Rodeo
built 213 days ago
Internationally-celebrated, multi-platinum recording artist, concert performer, actress, designer, philanthropist and business woman Hilary Duff will continue her enormously generous charitable contributions to the victims of Hurricane Katrina with the donation of more than 200,000 meals to two shelters in Houston, TX. Duff has purchased these meals through USA Harvest, who she has done relief work and philanthropic donations with in the past, to be delivered to the Star of Hope shelter as well as the Harbor Lights Salvation Army shelter in Houston. Each shelter will receive 100,000 meals for the Hurricane Katrina refugees who are still shelter residents. Tyme It, a trucking company out of Louisville, will be delivering the supplies for free today and tomorrow, November 16th-17th, to Harbor Lights and Star of Hope, respectively.

Hilary Duff did do more rodeo performances. In 2006 she played a concert at a rodeo in San Antonio, Texas, and she again played at the Houston rodeo, where this time at least one animal, a steer,was killed. Interestingly, the fan blogs devoted to Hilary said nothing about the dead steer. Instead, Hilary wrote about how much fun she had at both the San Antonio and the Houston rodeos, supporting the abuse even further. She chose to ignore the abuse, cruelty, neglect, and killing.

Born September 28, 1987, Duff splits her time between homes in Houston and Los Angeles with her parents, sister and two dogs. She enjoys swimming, tumbling and rollerblading. Duff has served on the Advisory Board of the Audrey Hepburn Child Benefit Fund and the Celebrity Council of Kids with a Cause.

The fact that Hilary played a concert at a bullring is more than adequate to show either ignorance or gross insensitivity. Hilary's bullring appearance, as with her rodeo appearances, attracts thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of young people into an environment which they may have never entered before.
