Reports suggesting newlywed Hilary Duff is pregnant with her first child are refusing to go away, even though the actress/singer dismissed rumors over the weekend.

Now, Star magazine is reporting the 23-year-old former Lizzie McGuire star and Canadian ice hockey player Mike Comrie are set to become parents, just months after becoming husband and wife in August.

A close friend tells the tabloid, "They're ecstatic. They weren't actively trying to conceive but agreed that if it happened, it happened."

Duff has made no secret of her desire to have a brood of her own, admitting she was "e...

As a former child star, Hilary Duff has been in the spotlight for a big chunk of her life. After becoming a star on the Disney Channel show “Lizzie McGuire” and the subsequent movies, Duff has bounced between film roles and guest spots on TV shows including “Law & Order: SVU” and “Gossip Girl.”

For her guest performance on NBC’s “Community,” Duff got to try something a little bit different. “It was fun for me to get to play a mean girl because it is so different from anything I’ve done before,” the actress says. “Being the most popular girl at a community college is important to her. I tho...

Imagine waking up tomorrow rich and famous with the world at your fingertips. Now imagine being a teenager waking up rich and famous with the world at your fingertips. As if teenagers aren't rebellious enough, pump up their bank accounts with mad cash, allow them access to any bar or club and have the paparazzi follow them around constantly. It completely makes the situation teeter on a thin line of normalcy and catastrophe.

For every child actor who turns to drugs/drinking and become disasters, there are a few who have grown up in the media and blossomed into decent human beings. Wh...

Hilary Duff is begging TV bosses to give her roles in hit shows The Office and 30 Rock, after signing a deal with the network behind them. Duff recently signed a new one-year contract with NBC, which will result in her fronting a new show.

The deal will also lead to Duff making appearances in other programs the network broadcasts.

And she has already registered her preference: "I would love to do something on 'The Office.' '30 Rock' is great - very funny. Many people have done lots of guest spots on it this season."

The week Miley Cyrus debuted on top of the album charts with ''Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus,'' she appeared on national morning television shows, the cover of People magazine, newspaper front pages and other media outlets.

And she's not alone. A league of tween-leaning acts, including The Cheetah Girls and Aly and AJ, all of whom are current or former stars of the Disney Channel, are routinely mining gold, platinum and multi-platinum CD sales while being virtually locke...

Pop singer/actress Hilary Duff has criticized Hollywood casting executives for having "no imagination". The Lizzie McGuire star insists she hates her "mainstream" tag, and would love to land more challenging acting roles - but insists it's the fault of movie bosses who can't see past her "teen star" image.

She says, "They'll meet with me. They'll want to go somewhere and talk, ask questions. Then they'll call and say, 'We really love her, she's great, wow.' But they have no imagination. I know people look at me and think I'm just so mainstream, 'She's just a blonde, young girl.' But I...
