Hilary Duff Pens Novel for Young Adults

Newlywed Hilary Duff has written a novel for the Young Adult market. The book is titled Elixer, and is pitched at teen girls. Duff told the AP, “I love reading young adult books even though I'm a little older than the set demographic.” Duff is well-acquainted with the YA demographic from having played Lizzie McGuire from 2001-2004 on the hit Disney television series, where she became a celebrity fashion trend setter.

All in all it has been a busy year for Duff, who recently married professional hockey player Mike Comrie in a dress created by fashion industry icon Vera Wang. She was writing the book at the same time she was planning her wedding and said that both were very challenging and deadline-driven.

The singer has hit back at remarks Faye reportedly made about the 21-year-old's acting.

Hilary has been cast in a remake of Bonnie And Clyde, which earned Faye, 68, an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress in 1967.

‘I think that my fans that are going to go see the movie don't even know who she is,’ Hilary tells E! News.

‘I think it was a little unnecessary, but I might be mad if I looked like that now, too.’

Hilary Duff denies giving boyfriend Mike Comrie a lap dance

Hilary Duff has laughed off reports she treated her fella to a saucy dance in public.

The singer was rumoured to have performed the routine for hockey player boyfriend Mike Comrie in front of a room full of people.

But Hilary insists she’s too innocent to do that.

‘I mean, little ol’ me? It’s shocking,' she says. 'People love to believe it – but it’s not true.

'And they’re so descriptive about these lap dances. I don’t even know how to do a lap dance.’

Hilary, 21, is tired of people talking about her sex life.

‘I was quoted saying I was a virgin, but I absolutely did not say that,’ she tells Maxim. ‘That’s nobody’s business but my own.

Hilary Duff's father has been jailed for contempt of court

Hilary Duff's father has been jailed for contempt of court.

Robert Duff was reportedly arrested yesterday (27.08.08) and sent by a judge to a Texas county jail for allegedly violating an injunction by selling assets without court approval.

He must pay the $368,000 he earned from the sale into a court fund and serve 10 days in jail.

The arrest came following an earlier dispute between the 20-year-old singer's parents over her birthday party.

Robert and Susan - who have been involved in a bitter divorce battle for two-and-a-half years - appeared in court after Susan requested $25,000 to spend on presents and a party for Hilary's 21st birthday next month - the same sum she claims they spent on elder daughter Haylie's 21st in 2006.

A lawyer for Robert asked Susan - who claimed she relies on financial help from Hilary to pay lawyers' fees and other bills - if her "adult millionaire daughter would be upset if she did not receive an expensive gift and party for her birthday".

Susan replied that her daughter "is emotionally upset by the abandonment of her father and deserves to have some kind of recognition for a young life well lived", before claiming he currently spends his cash on buying his girlfriend's sons gifts.

Robert was ordered to pay $12,500 to Susan for Hilary's birthday, before being arrested for contempt of court.
