Various Topics to Discuss

First off, Hilary still hasn't written a diary entry since May 24th. But all is not lost, because Christine (a roadie on hilarious tour) is giving a day-by-day entry of basically everything the girls do. Judging from the vast majority of entries, eating seems to be one the top priorities. Didn't I mention that one before?

Second, Hilary is releasing another new video next week. It is a song called "Fly" and it is getting a lot of airplay including over my work's Muzak system. Although I don't have the words down yet, it is still a great song to be released on hilarious album coming out on her birthday next month (title yet unknown). The video is currently airing on Yahoo.com and on the Nick special "Hilary Duff: Learning to Fly". Which leads me to....

Third, this latest making of video of Hilary is basically her doing the song "Fly" in front of a live audience with clips of her goofing around when not on stage. The video is basically black and white with a couple of color segments, but like the live version of "So Yesterday", it just is basically the same concept as that video. Of course, that one never got into the top ten of TRL. Let's hope "Fly" flies and not dive bombs. I love the song, but the video is just above ok. The rest of the half hour is another introduction to her band and a tour of her dressing room at the Worcester Centrum and a tour of her bus. Nothing really earth-shattering here, just likeable fluff. Perfect for the Duff fans like me.

Speaking of videos, a couple of weeks ago "Hilary Duff: The Girl Can Rock" was released on DVD. It is a concert disc with segments from the Ryan Seacrest show and the birthday bash from last year. The two-hour disc is worth the $15 if you are a fan, a great addition to the first disc.

Speaking of DVD's, I expect that now that "A Cinderella Story" has left the local theatres that this movie will be released on DVD well before Christmas. Sadly, this movie only topped out at number 3 in the ratings and has taken in a dismal $46 million after only about 6 weeks.

While we are talking sad news, "On-Air with Ryan Seacrest" has been cancelled. This show really wasn't too bad except it could have worked if the following things were followed:

• Less "American Idol"..don't bring your night job with you..enough is enough!!
• Stay awake..many times Ryan looked like he was going to take a nap during segments..now you will have plenty of time for naps!!
• Competition was rough..Dr. Phil and TRL aired during the same time segments..
• Ryan needed to shave..he calls it a look..I call it looking bad!!
• Called itself "Live"..but why did Access Hollywood that aired an hour earlier already have segments from that day's show already on? Must be Memorex..
• It ran on Fox..need I say more?
• He didn't admit he loved Hilary!! Ryan, I get first take on her hand in marriage!!

The pluses to the show was the great guests which included Janet Jackson, Jessica Simpson, JoJo, and our Hilary. Really, with guests like these how could the show fail...well maybe you do need a little more than that!!

On one final note, this site is averaging over 125 hits a month!! I am very proud of that and glad that people support Hilary as much as I do!! Now I want to introduce the concept of comments!!
