Hilary Duff’s Cosmopolitan cover & interview

Hilary Duff breezes into her Cosmo cover shoot at a New York City photo studio and cheerily gives out hugs and kisses to everyone on set. You’d never know the girl hasn’t been getting much sleep lately until she makes a desperate request: “A skim latte with an extra shot of espresso — please!”
And while some young celebs require an energy boost because they’ve been hanging at nightclubs until the wee hours, Hilary’s just seeking to fuel her ambitious work agenda. It’s a schedule that entails recording new music, working on two films, raising money for kids through the Blessings in a Backpack organization, and going on a world tour. “This has been a big cleansing year for me,” the Texas native declares. “I learned a ton about myself, and I became really independent. I feel like I grew up a lot.”
And we’re not just talking emotional maturity here — at 20, with long honey-colored locks, a smokin’ bod, and killer confidence, Hilary’s looking every bit the hot Hollywood starlet. Dressed in white skinny jeans, 4-inch heels, and a sexy off-the-shoulder black top, it’s hard to believe she’s the same girl who not long ago starred in such family-friendly flicks as Cheaper by the Dozen and 2004’s A Cinderella Story.
Appearance aside, she’s making more sophisticated professional choices too. She recently finished filming War, Inc., a political satire, alongside John Cusack, and she’s now working on a drama with veteran actress Ellen Burstyn called Greta, which deals with suicide. Furthermore, her latest album, Dignity — which she’s re-releasing early this year with two new tracks — references the difficult subject of her parents’ recent divorce…

I think she is cute but she is not very talented or well spoken. When she talks you can tell she has the education of a 10 year old.

She’s not very talented AND her smokin’ bod? If she’s so true to herself, why is her top stuffed to make her look like a c-cup? Why can’t she own being flat chested? Why can’t cosmo get it that small chested women are sexy too?
Duff is a phoney baloney talent and a phoney baloney person.
