Hilary Duff Has A Eating Disorder

Hilary Duff’s svelte body graces the cover of Us Weekly’s first ever swimsuit issue, courtesy of years of stringent dieting and maniacal exercise. An inside interview reveals that when the singer/actress was 15, she came across a press report criticizing her for her weight.

"It made me obsessed," she [says] of the story that drove her into a hard-core diet and exercise binge.


"I would beat myself up if I had some fat." But when the 5-foot-2 star’s weight plummeted to around 100 pounds in 2005 (down from 130 in 2003), her sister Haylie, 22, finally intervened.

Hilary Duff vs. Avril Lavigne

The Feud continues between Pop tarts Hilary Duff and Avril Lavigne.

Hilary and Avril were at the same party in New York last week, but they had to be kept far, far apart from each other because of a long-running bitchfight between the two, says insiders.



The two pop starlets were supposed to come at different times, but arrived at the exact same time, and Avril was "driving everyone crazy" with her anger.

God I love a good cat fight - and this one spikes high on the sexy-o-meter.

Hilary Duff Death Threat

With a second attempt on her life in less than three months, it seems that actress Hilary Duff’s crappy music inspires murderous rage the world over. According to Canada.com:

Police officers moved quickly to take down a man who allegedly threatened to kill pop star Hilary Duff during her appearance on a Canadian TV show. Duff was being interviewed Tuesday by MuchMusic when a man in the crowd outside the studio started shouting at the 19-year-old star.

According to an eyewitness, the unidentified man vowed to kill Duff, prompting several police officers to tackle him. “The cops slammed his face into the pavement,” said photographer Todd Gillis, who witnessed the incident. “He was bleeding.”

Sophie Monk's New Friends

Dating fraternal twins Joel Madden and Benji Madden, has been a bonding experience for Nicole Richie and Aussie singer/actress Sophie Monk. The two have been inseperable the past few weeks as the Madden brothers, both 27, have been on tour with their band Good Charlotte.

Benji just recently proposed to the stunning Sophie Monk, 27, on Christmas Eve, presenting her with a 3.5-carat diamond and platinum engagement ring by star jeweler Neil Lane.

While Nicole Richie, 25, and Joel have only been dating a short time, friends of the star tell Celebrity Babylon she is serious about her tattood boyfriend.

"She flew all the way to Japan last week to be with him," says the source, "she is really into the guy, it's serious."

For his part, friends say Joel is completely over his previous love Hilary Duff, 19.

"It's like Hilary, who?"

Instead of being with her recently reunited Simple Life BFF Paris Hilton, 25, Richie is constantly enjoying the simple things with her new BFF Sophie, like trips to LAX to send their guys off with steamy public make-out sessions, or sojourns to a vegan restaurant for figure slimming organic meals.

Could all this togetherness mean that there is a double wedding on the way?

Hilary Gets Sloppy at Hyde

Hilary Duff was far from her usual goody-two-shoes self on January 25 when she and older sister Haylie showed up at L.A. club Hyde with a huge entourage.

Usmagazine.com tattler tells us that Hilary -- who has been single since splitting in November from Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden (he's currently dating Nicole Richie) -- arrived arm-in-arm with her sis' a little after 11 p.m., looking tipsy.

Hilary, 19, soon was teetering over to the women’s restroom with one of her girlfriends and a "flamboyant" male friend.

“It was kind of inappropriate,” the onlooker sneers. “She was pretty drunk and staggering around the bathroom, bumping into people and shrieking that her gay male friend had a vagina so it was okay for him to be there.”

The sisters continued to party Paris Hilton-style throughout the night at a VIP table, where our source says they were “all over” their two man-dates. Haylie 21, whispered in the ear of her 30-ish-year-old date while kissing his neck. Hilary perched on her date’s lap, laughing and flirting with her own older man.

Says the source: “When I’ve seen Hilary out in the past, she has been relatively composed, but tonight she was acting pretty wild.”
