built 118 days ago
Hilary Duff breezes into her Cosmo cover shoot at a New York City photo studio and cheerily gives out hugs and kisses to everyone on set. You’d never know the girl hasn’t been getting much sleep lately until she makes a desperate request: “A skim latte with an extra shot of espresso — please!”

Hilary Duff is able to guitar solo so long that her existence is rumored to mock God. Duff uses a 12 neck guitar that was crafted by kids formally employed by the Disney channel. The materials to make such a guitar were provided by young Chinese laborers under contract with Disney which pays them fortune cookies and smiley face stickers.

Duff was dropped from the cast of Daddio prior to it being aired, which made her reluctant to pursue her acting career further. However, her manager and mother spurred her on, and a week later she successfully auditioned for a Children's television series, Lizzie McGuire. In the series, Duff portrayed the title role of Lizzie McGuire, a clumsy but an average middle school girl. The show focused on her life and her slow growth into teenhood. Her co-stars included Lalaine, Adam Lamberg, Jake Thomas, Clayton Snyder, Ashlie Brillault, Robert Carradine, and Hallie Todd.

Duff's first serious shot at fame came when she was cast as one of the children in the pilot episode of the NBC sitcom Daddio in 2000. Actor Michael Chiklis, co-star of Daddio, stated, "After working with her the first day, I remember saying to my wife, 'this young girl is going to be a movie star'. She was completely at ease with herself and comfortable in her own skin."[7]

On weight & body image: “You lose some happiness when that’s all you think about,” Duff says. “There definitely was a time, about a year and a half ago, when I was pretty obsessed with my body and my weight, but I’m better not stressing about my body all the time.” She adds, “It’s not attractive when girls get super-skinny. Guys don’t like it. Girls don’t like you as much.”Next year, H. Duff will be tackling her first serious movie role in “War, Inc.”, co-starring John Cusack. This year she spent promoting her latest CD, Dignity, which hit stores in April.
