Hilary showed some serious stems in short shorts while signing autographs for fans at a Dignity release event in Hollywood yesterday. The album has only been out for a day, but some of the tracks already have people talking. There's been speculation that two of the songs, Gypsy Woman and Stranger, attack her ex, Joel and his new girlfriend Nicole. In fact, Hilary says the songs in question are about her parents difficult split last year. Here's more:
This is so hard to talk about," Duff says....She's referring to the separation last year of her parents, Bob and Susan Duff, which the family managed to keep more private than the Duff/Madden breakup. "For some reason, I was embarrassed that my family wasn't perfect and that some woman had broken it up."
That other woman, she says, is the subject of Gypsy, which the singer co-wrote with her elder sister and frequent collaborator, Haylie. "And Stranger is a song I wrote about how my mom must feel around my dad. I made it seem like it was about a relationship I was in, because I didn't want people to know about my parents. But I've realized that so many people can relate to what I've gone through."
They say songwriting is a form of therapy so maybe this is how Hilary got herself through her parents split however; we think these songs could conveniently have a double meaning.

She's really grown on me. Especially since she tamed the veneers. Holy moly those look better. I'm loving the eye makeup in these photos. Too cute.
1Interesting... On another note, she looks gorgeous here!
"V.I.P 'cause you know I gotta shine..."
2Shes gorgeous! I really really like her!

3Thats very sad about her parents.. Does anyone know if she talks to her dad now?
"I wear my sunglasses at night so I can, so I can watch you live and breathe your storylines"
4sad
she looks so beautiful! her face looks a little lined for being so young but it might just be that picture

5I am curious to hear this new album because I actually think I might like it. Anyone know where I can hear it for free before buying?
6I agree with the possibility of a double meaning!
7I was just going to say i love her eye makeup
About the meaning, she probably penned most of the songs a while ago before the breakup...
8It is probably about her parents, not really something to lie about
I really really like her. She's one of the few that has managed to stay true and classy.
9I really like her, she seems to be a down to earth girl with a good head on her shoulders...

11She looks so pretty here, I love her! When does the album come out?
12I definitely agree that the song must have a double meaning.
13She looks tired in that first picture. Her eyes are gorgeous though! She is really becoming a beautiful woman.
14__________
Zing!!

15Hey Ilove2ski what new show?

oh my gosh asco00!!! i thought i was the only one who noticed her veneers before... but other than that i think shes so cute! you just wanna hug her
17Her mom took Hilary and Haylie to California and their dad stayed in Texas. That probably took a toll on their marriage.
18i love her! she looks great and love her MTV show...on a side note, i read some where that her sister is dating Kevin Connely (Nikki's ex!)
19I love this girl, and I'm lovin her song, With Love......
20It was on right before the hills. Its about her album. Mondays at 9:30
"I wear my sunglasses at night so I can, so I can watch you live and breathe your storylines"
21I love Hillary she's better off without that freak Joe anyway. I'm so sorry to hear about her parents break up I'm sure that's not easy.
22Thanks Ilove2ski. I didnt' know that. Monday's are rough. I'm DVRing everything. Heroes. I gave up on 24 i missed a couple of episodes. And I love new york (that show is like a train wreck, you can't look away), studio 60. i know there's more that i watch! DVR is a GOD SEND!

I am a Hilary fan! I had no idea her parents split up though
Nooo idea. I am glad kind of that
Hilary and Joel are over though..he wasn't that good a guy I guess, seeing how quickly he jumped into his next relationship.
24Hil is such a pretty girl! I'm glad she's doing so well! I'm sure those songs are about her parents like she said but Im sure her situation must have helped in the writing as well!

26Hilary looks absolutely gorgeous in these pictures! She is really coming into her own. I do not know what she saw in Joel. That dude is fug with a capital F. Talk about mismatched couples. That was bad even by Hollywood standards. Don't settle Hilary.
Haylie is older?!? I thought she was the youngest and Hilary was the oldest. Huh. I heard about Hilary waaay before Haylie. Was she famous first or just the way I got ahold of them? I dont follow them/not a fan, so Im not sure of details. With all the teeny bopper kids, the oldest one comes out then the youngest...Jessica then Ashley, Britany then Jamie Lynn, Nick then Aaron, and Hilary then Haylie....or so I thought..lol
27Aww I like her.
28Actually I after I posted, I went to the top and searched info on Haylie to get a pic and she does look alot older. I must have had the two confused. Hilary was Haylie and Haylie was Hilary in my head..lol. Damn! Haylie's hot!
29ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! You watched I love New York too??? For some reason I loved watching that. I kind of wanted her to pick Chance though. He grew on me.
30"I wear my sunglasses at night so I can, so I can watch you live and breathe your storylines"
dvd Hilary was famous first. Mostly for Lizzie McGuire. Haylie basically became famous because of her sister. Shes on 7th heaven.
"I wear my sunglasses at night so I can, so I can watch you live and breathe your storylines"
31Chance DID not grow on me. I wanted her to get Real. It's like a sick disease.

I liked real too!!!
What did you think about 12 pack?? Is he straight???? Tango annoyed me!
"I wear my sunglasses at night so I can, so I can watch you live and breathe your storylines"
33OMG When Tango asked her to marry him.... I was dying! He's a punk too! Some limb was always in pain. and he tried to Man up and do whatever task she gave them. but he wanted to have an excuse in case he didn't win! WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO MARRY HER! She just tried to kiss another man in front of you like two seconds ago.

Whitboy was so nice too. And his sister was normal.
"I wear my sunglasses at night so I can, so I can watch you live and breathe your storylines"
35OH I KNOW!!!!! She irks me!! She wears way too much make up.. UGH... I couldn't believe he asked her. The ring wasn't that big.
"I wear my sunglasses at night so I can, so I can watch you live and breathe your storylines"
36You know 12pack confused me. I couldn't tell. i think if you paid him he'd be gay. or if he was drunk enough. real grew on me at the end. BUT WHY WERE THESE FOOLS CRYING?? Tango's right. You live in the SAME HOUSE!GOD DAMMIT!
Tango admittedly annoyed everyone. But between him and Chance I would have rathered Tango.

However, I think her mom annoyed me the most! I like when Onix (I think thats his name) called her fake over the church thing. She sure doesn't act religious!
"I wear my sunglasses at night so I can, so I can watch you live and breathe your storylines"
38The real question is HOW MANY fake eyelashes did she have on at once????
Whiteboy couldn't kiss. He looked like he was trying to slober her WHOLE head! LMAO! Her mom did look like a man too!
Ohh I'll message you about it. I feel bad writing it all on here.

She looks really pretty! I think that the songs might be about her break up. I mean, its totally understandable for her to lie about it, if I were her I'd say it was about my parents too. Perhaps Gypsy Woman really is about her parents, given that her sister helped her write it. But I bet the other one is really about her.
Oh, and Haylie is definately older. She looks much older and if anyone saw Material Girls, she plays the older sister there too.
40Hil seems so mature and wise beyond her years. She's really grown on me. She's done a pretty great job at keeping her private life... well... private! She seems to have a really great head on her shoulders. Now if we can just get her out of the Lohan hooker shorts...
"Party like a rock star, pound like a porn star, play like an all star!"
41Has anyone heard the new album? Is it good? I'm thinking about buying it, but i have my reservations...i mean, my 9 year old niece listens to her! Or at least, she used to.
42wow she looks good
43She can sing whomever she wants to as long as it stays within the limits of reason.
44She looks v pretty here - tho I think she should consider fake tanning them there legs....lol
45I just downloaded the album last night, it's pretty good pop music. There were about 6 songs I like right off, so that's pretty good for an album these days.
46Maybe the songs where written about the split of her parents you don't know the only thing I know is JUST LEAVE THE GIRL ALONE!
47she looks really pretty.
48Song lyrics can be applied to just about anything if people would keep that in mind, who cares. I think she's doing the right thing for someone her age. She's grown on me.
