Some Quick Thoughts
Just a couple of things I wanna bring up:
* Punk'd is history..the show will air its last show on Sunday. As I said before, Hil was poorly treated so I have no tears to cry for this show to end!!
*The live version of "So Yesterday" has yet even had 1 day on TRL survey. Its sad to think that this version of the song hasn't even been given a chance, but as I said before its the same song...we can only wait so long for "Come Clean"...
*Hil continues to tour the country. Ironically it seems she wears the same black tank top to each of her concerts. This is from a girl who once said she doesn't wear the same thing twice!!
*My girl is moving to Texas this week so I am a little depressed that I won't be talking to her for a week or so. I did, however, learn something during the last night before her trip. I can't publish it here, but if you want to ask me in person or email me at one of the addresses at the right, I will send you the info.
*Hil will be seen on Entertainment Tonight: Weekend Edition as she will have to save her clothes from Cojo's scissors. She will also be on the Fox special Monday "Jingle Ball Rock" performing. TV Guide calls her a diva in-training. She is no more a diva in training than I am a Hilary impersonator in-training. On second thought, skip that last idea. Hil will also be on "Live with Regis & Kelly" on Thursday. I plan to have a review of each of these appearances next week.
Anyway that is it for now..just remember you are here to support our girl Hil and to visit me of course..love ya'll xoxo Lou*
*or maybe its my impersonator

Catching Up On Everything!
First up some very sad non-Hilary topics:
In the last couple weeks, two people who I had associations passed away. The first was my art teacher I had in 7th grade way back in 1977 (10 years before Hil was born -- how did I ever survive before her..i don't know!!). I never was a wonderful artist and I still can't draw a straight line, but the significance of her was that during every class she would play the radio and this was my first exposure to what was back then pop music (known as disco). During that half-year, I seemed more interested in music than I ever did the art projects we were given. She was only in her early 50's.
The second person who passed away, Dawn, was a woman that I had worked with for 3 years in my previous job. She was a very nice and funny person and we got along wonderfully. Sadly, she was only a couple of years older than I when she died. It really makes you stop and think that age doesn't matter anymore.
This brings me to another topic which continues to bug (haunt) me. It is in regards to age and my feelings for someone like Hil. As I have stated here before, my feelings for her are on the same level as someone of her age..I have perverse thoughts of her at all! I just believe that she is a very talented performer who if she does things well for herself can go far. Even my online (girl)friend brought up the age thing recently and it bothers me that age should be a problem if 2 people like (love) each other. I really hate bringing up the topic so often, but I have to mention it because it bothers others.
Now onto Hilary stuff:
First up: Hilary won an award on November 20, 2003 at the VH1 Big in 2003 Award Show. Unfortunately, she wasn't there in New York to collect her award (she was Petaluma, CA) for breakthrough performer of 2003. She was shown eating nachos and salsa dip out of her new trophy. It was kinda funny, but it just continues to prove my point that she is always eating and she is starting to get fat!! If you need proof of that just look at her arms..they are becoming flabby!! I guess she likes to wear tank tops anyway to flex her flab!
However, Hilary won't have such luck at the Grammys next year for New Artist. She unfortunately was shut out of that category by Fountains of Wayne, which has actually been performing for several years now (1997). Maybe having Hil in the category would have made it an easy win for her, yet it is a disgrace to have an established artist going for best new artist. Who's idea was that..maybe a Hilary hater..they do run amuck you know!!
During the month of November, MTV aired "Making the Tour: Hilary Duff". There was nothing memorable about this half-hour broadcast except it gave you an insiders look at putting together her nightly 1 hour show. On the same note, for that show, Hil has released a new video or should I say a new old video. It is the live version of "So Yesterday". It premiered on TRL on December 3, 2003 and has not yet made it to the countdown. As many of you remember, "So Yesterday" retired from TRL 2 months earlier. This version isn't even a remix version, it sounds exactly like the original. I am glad that this version isn't making it up the survey. However, we do have to wait until January for Hil's video of "Come Clean", which has been previewed on "Entertainment Tonight". I can wait for this one..especially since it involves rain and our girl getting wet. I won't say anymore about it.
Also during November on the show "American Dreams", Hil appeared with her sister Haylie as two members of the group the Shangri-Las. Sadly, Hil seemed to have a less of a part than her sister and the total performance lasted only about 2 minutes. It was a great performance, but it would have been nice if the entire performance had aired and not cut-off. Many other performers who have guest-starred on the show had longer performances. Maybe this was another act of a Hilary hater!
Our next Hil appearance happened on Thanksgiving Day at the Macy's Parade. Hil's appearance happened during the last 20 minutes of the broadcast. Both NBC and CBS aired the parade, but only NBC aired Hil singing about 1 and half minutes of "So Yesterday", CBS aired footage of Hil waving to the crowd only..not performance footage there!! Thankfully I recorded both versions to compare them..and I saved both of them!!
Finally, most recently (last night), STARZ aired the 2001 movie "Human Nature", which featured Hil in the first 5 minutes. There are several problems with this film: #1: its rated R for nudity, strong sexual content and violence. #2: Hil's part is so small that she is on screen for about 2 minutes. and #3: This movie is so bad I couldn't stand watching the whole thing at once (nor will I ever watch this whole movie..it's that bad) and so is Hil's part. To sum up Hil's part (to save you from watching it), Hil plays the part of young 12 year old Lila (who grows up to be Patricia Arquette in the remainder of the film). We see our sweet Hil running home from school carrying her books in front of her, going into her room, locking the door, and unbuttoning her shirt in front of a mirror (yes. you heard right). She is shown wearing a bra and has monkey chest hair just below her bra line while staring at herself in the mirror. She has but one line stating that she was fully hairy (as in ape hair) by the time she was 20!! This absolutely the WORST PART that Hil could have ever ever EVER played in any movie!!! I was embarrassed for the girl..she can do much better than parts like this and should!! Why she even mentions this movie on her website is beyond me because I would be embarrassed about it if I were her!! I rate this movie a big old ZERO!! Nobody should have to see this crap..and the rest of the movie just got worst!!
One last comment I want to make: it seems that Hil may not be having the WB Christmas special that was promised earlier this year. With touring (which has had its own problems of drugs and alcohol at the shows) and other performances and her new video, she seemed to have no time to film it. However, FOX is supposed to be airing a Christmas Special featuring Hil in the next couple weeks..hopefully that one might happen!!
The last topic I want to discuss is Hil merchandising:
2 new Hil cds have surfaced in the last couple of weeks.
One is an exclusive K-Mart remix cd featuring Hil in a special 4 song cd for $4.99 (I purchased 2 of them because the nearest K-Mart is 50 miles away!) Also, K-Mart had a special edition Lizzie McGuire calendar with an orange cover selling for $4.99 as well (half the price of the blue cover calendar..go figure) (i bought 2 of them as well!)
The second cd was an import cd which is supposed to be the first of two cds released. Sadly, they had but just one copy so hopefully I can find a second copy soon so that I can open one up!
Anyway..that seems to be it for this time and I am very sorry that this is so late (Hil has updated her site more than I have updated mine lately!!)!! Luv ya'll xoxo hil*
*I really am not her yet..but someday soon maybe...
