Hilary Updates Her Diary..I Guess I Update Too

It has been almost a month since the last update and there has certainly been plenty of things to write about.

First off, I think any Hilary fan will be disappointed that the movie "Raise Your Voice" has done so poorly. I have not read a single positive review to this movie. Even the film clips I have seen make this movie look bad. This movie looks like leftovers from the "Brave New Girl" movie that aired earlier this year. Unfortunately, Hilary's movie debuted at #6 with only about $4 million in sales and this week is at #9. Sadly, this movie may be leaving theatres in the next couple of weeks. The good news (if you can call it that) is that the movie may possibly see a Christmas release on DVD. I said possibly..it certainly can't hurt to have it released around Christmas time.

If the movie wasn't bad enough, Hilary's second cd has also not been a stellar performer either. It debuted at #2 and has slid down to #6 this week. I also have a couple of ideas what happened to this as well. First, the album had no promotions from Hilary. The day it was released she was in Mexico celebrating her 17th birthday for a long deserved vacation..I bet her cd sold well in Mexico. This was absolutely the wrong time for her to take a vacation. Second, the cd was sale-priced at around $11.99 during its debut week. While her first cd debuted at $9.99, its apparent that more people need to be paid the second time around accounting for the higher price. In addition to that, her debut cd featured a bonus track (at Target), a watch (Circuit City..no I didn't get this one), or a special editon signature cover (Disney Store). This time there were no bonus tracks, watches, or special covers and not only that but the Disney Store shows no intention of carrying the cd for some reason. This to me spells trouble for her fledging career.

Before her current trip to Japan and Australia, she appeared in a few morning news talk shows and also Ellen and Conan. It is the two latter appearances that are worth noting because in both of them she demonstrates her gymnastic ability. She is really great at gymnastics..maybe she should give up the singing and acting for this instead!! Her only singing appearance was on Ellen and yes she did lip-sync her song "Fly".

Also a couple of weeks ago, she was featured co-host of Nick's "Let's Just Play". If you remember my review of last year's show, it was a complete disaster. This year's show was 1 hour shorter at 2 and half hours, but was still too long for me. At least, we weren't tortured with "Spongebob" this year..this year we had "Rugrats All Grown Up", slightly more likeable but still very childish. The really bad thing about this show was that the camera angles weren't properly placed and Hilary and co-host Romeo had no clue when they were on camera most of the time!! Sadly, Nick was off the air that afternoon for 3 hours to encourage kids to get out and play and then come back at 6pm to watch others play. It is understandable why Nick didn't mention this show and Hilary's website didn't either!! On a scale of 1 to 10: 6. Oh yes, Hilary lip-synced "Fly" during the final half hour of the show!!

The big question now is what's next for Hilary? No birthday special this year. No possible Christmas special as promised last year. No tv series for her to star in. Gee, maybe she should start getting serious about a relationship. I am available for that one, or at the current time anyone at that.

I am hoping to get more updates sooner, but issues have come up to keep me from doing that!! Been way too busy like Hilary to update..but until next time

luv ya'll xoxo lou (hilary's #1 fan for this site)
