Happy 17th Birthday Hilary!!

Last night on the eve of Hil's 17th birthday, she appeared on the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno". This episode was significant for 2 reasons: Hil was on it and it was the 50th anniversary of the show. When she made her appearance, she looked nervous and her right leg was shaking real bad! She performed the song "Fly" and unfortunately it sounded at parts like it was performed by a chorus, not by her alone. It was quite obvious that she once again was lip-syncing because she always holds her microphone so close to her mouth as she doesn't want it to show. After her performance, she mentioned that she is going to Mexico with her sister and a couple of friends to celebrate her birthday for a couple of days off with NO WORK!! Unfortunately this sounds like a bad idea for a girl who had her cd coming out the day of her 17th birthday. This means that instead of promoting her cd she is on a beach in Mexico enjoying herself!! I'm curious if this will mean that this cd won't do as well as the first one..the first one turned into a triple platnium seller that was #1 for a few weeks!! However, Hilary wasn't without one little bit of work: she telephoned in on her cellphone to MTV's TRL on Tuesday discussing her cd and her Mexican vacation that she was currently on! Apparently, she does work even on off time!!

One thing that I felt was odd about the release of this cd (which I bought a couple copies of) is that when I went my local Disney Store to find out if they had a special edition version of Hil's cd, the manager of the store said "Is she still employed with us?". I had a hard time not breaking out in laughter when I heard this after all she was standing right in front of a display where her first cd and latest dvd was on the rack!! And to answer this question, YES she is still employed under Disney through the Hollywood Records label. So sad that Disney employees don't even know her status with the company. I guess they don't care enough about her to even know if they are even going to carry her cd!!

On another front, Hil's rival Lindsay has become the cover girl of GQ magazine in a VERY sexy pose. The pictures inside are almost as bad and sexy. Of course I just had to purchase this magazine just because I felt the need to. This is on top of the fact that just the week before Hilary appeared on Blender and Avril (I forgot to wish Avril a happy 20th birthday for Monday, me bad) made the cover of Maxim. All of these young girls appearing on more adult covers is becoming disturbing because they are being treated like sex objects. It almost wouldn't surprise me if we see JoJo on the cover of the next issue of Playboy just to round out the group. I hope I am just kidding and that this won't become true (she's only 13 and well it is way out of her league anyway).

Anyway Hil will be starting her tour of Japan and Australia in a couple of weeks, but no before she appears in this year's version of Nick's "Let's Just Play". I will be reviewing this in my next post. Could it be worse than last year's? We will see....

Until next time..Hil enjoy your vacation and your birthday..have a piece of cake for me!!

see ya'll xoxo lou
