Might Hilary Duff Squeeze Amanda Out of the Frogs Family Portrait?
On September 25, less than two weeks from today, we may get a clearer picture of just who matters at the WB. Hilary Duff gets her first showcase presentation on the network as “Hilary Duff’s Island Birthday Bash” premieres. We have learned that Hilary will surf and snorkel in the special, and that Aaron Carter will be there presenting Hilary with her cake. But aren’t they no longer a couple? Yeesh. What the WB is doing with Miss Duff is quite similar to what Fox did a number of years ago with a fledgling singer named Britney Spears. They put the actress in lush tropical settings, made her sing, shot footage of her communing with nature, aired it, and saw the singer’s career skyrocket. The WB is hoping the same thing will happen with Hilary, because they are very conscientiously eying the soon-to-be-sixteen-year-old for permanent active duty on the Frog. But for this to occur, someone has to leave. That world we envisioned a few weeks back about Amanda and Hilary peacefully coexisting?
