I actually like Hilary Duff a lot. I think she sucks at acting and she used to be really fake, but there's something very wholesome, down to earth and grounded about her.
Entertainment Weekly says that Hilary Duff will have a multi-episode arc on the CW's Gossip Girl.
The actress-designer-pop chanteuse will play Olivia Burke, a movie star who enrolls at NYU in search of a traditional college experience. She ends up rooming with Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) so it's safe to say she'll be majoring in Drama!
Duff will debut in this season's fourth episode, slated to air Oct. 5.
Unfortunately NBC dropped Hilary Duff's comedy pilot Barely Legal. Makes a lotta sense cause b*tch can't act! She's perfect for Gossip Girl and maybe she'll even learn a few things. The acting on the first season of Gossip Girl was laughable, but they've all come a long way since then.
Congrats to Hilary, may she break outta the teenage stuff and move on to more adult roles one day.

Isn't Gossip Girl a step down for Hilary Duff from her superstar career in a way? After all, she's sharing the spotlight with other actors and seemingly moving away from singing now.
Anyway, I think it's Hilary's personality, physical appearance and the fact she's managed to avoid personal drama in her life that makes her a diversion from her other female Hollywood colleagues. Those are all functions of her "girl next door" image.
But yeah, because of Hilary's start with Disney, she still remains pigeonholed as another tween actress (despite being in her 20s) so we shall see if she rises to the occasion in more challenging roles in the future.

She'll fit right in and I hope she gets a really catty character or a role she can go all out and sink her horse teeth into.

Why are you calling her a bitch? I would get it if you called Lisdsay Lohan a bitch but, Hilary Duff? I just watched her first appearence in the show, she is not awesome, but her acting is very different. I think if she takes on more daring roles like she did in War Inc. She can definitely break the barrier come out as a rising star.
