Houston, Texas
Claim to Fame (or Shame)
The undeniably sweet gal who made tweens go ballistic with her G-rated Disney series and movie-lunchbox-marketing-bonanza Lizzie McGuire. And yet she's also the pop tartlet whose shiny white teeth, suddenly skeletal figure and tattooed boyfriend, Joel Madden, make the tabloids melt. Okay, not in the way that her enemy Lindsay Lohan's antics do, but close enough. Maybe Hil's sister, Haylie Duff, could tell us what Hilary is all about. Not like she'll ever dish, those girls are BFF. And the more Duffster movies we see--Material Girls, A Cinderella Story, The Perfect Man--the less we wonder.

Notes
"I've been in the business most of my life. You get to a point where you learn to only show people what you want them to talk about or see." - Duff to Hollywood Life, Summer 2007"It's still a little weird getting out of a car and having all these people screaming for you. Sometimes I get down thinking I don't have a normal life. I don't have any privacy. But I love what I do and when I see (that) other people like it, too, it all comes out okay." - Duff quoted to People, July 7, 2004"She has that personality that seems so approachable, and I think that's why she has such a huge following," - actress, Regina King to People, July 16, 2004"There may come a time when I do something that people might be shocked by. It's all in the timing." - Duff to People, May 9, 2005
