Hilary Duff 'bewildered' by body insult

**lovely bones** · July 4th, 2006, 05:03 PM

You just can't keep those celeb mags happy. As Hilary Duff recently found out. The actress and songstress was bewildered when an unnamed magazine printed a picture of her claiming she was "puffing up".

And what made matters even worse was that, at the time the snap was taken, she was proudly wearing a trendy new outfit.

She explained: "I was in Canada filming The Perfect Man and I put on this outfit that I thought was really cute and creative - jeans, a tank top and a scarf tied round my waist.

"At the time I wasn't skinny, but I wasn't fat either, and this magazine comes out saying, 'Hilary Duff Puffs Up!' I was so embarrassed."

And what do you know - after she took up pilates and lost some weight, the very same magazine accused her of being too thin, captioning a new picture, 'Oh, no! Now Hilary's A Stick Figure!'

Understandably, the 19-year-old has decided that, as far as her weight and appearance go, from now on she'll be pleasing herself.

"You can never make those people happy, so you just have to make yourself happy," she revealed.

Well said, girl.

Jeans with a scarf belt and a tank top are creative? Cool! I'm being creative right now! (Can't believe I'm about to say something positive about her!) Great attitiude to take towards the magazines, though. You really can't live for someone else's opinion.

i bet you she still reads those magazines everyday looking for tidbits about herself though...

She had better grow a thicker skin. As bad as it is, those comments go with the territory so to speak.

And you just got veneers that were rejected by a horse.

She used to be so cute and wholesome looking, what happened?

Is it possible to get veneers taken off?

Nope the veneers are for life! She's got the kid as her boyfriend and alot of those girls are emaciated - she's trying to keep him.

I get her point, she's young & impressionable - these mags are one of the reasons young women's weight yo-yos & they become anorexic or bulimic. They can't win its always something.

I hear what you're saying. It is a bitch to be in front of the spotlight however these trends have been going on for years. Although it's very challenging, folks have to CHOOSE to do something about it. It seems these young girls would rather join em' than beat em' - and that's sad.
