DUMBEST COURT BATTLE EVER "Hilary Duff's dad will be spending up to 10 days in jail — all because of a fight over cash for Hilary's birthday party. … Mama Duff dragged her ex into court — and this is no joke — to ask for $25,000 to throw a party for Hilary's 21st birthday — because that's what they spent on Haylie's 21st bday two years ago."

The CFDA Fashion Awards, held last night at the New York Public Library, honored excellence in fashion design but also served as a venue for Victoria Beckham to crash as many photo opportunities as possible.

Aaron Carter has parlayed his recent marijuana possession charges into newfound fame: Nick's younger and somehow uglier brother will be joining the next season of VH1's Celebrity Rehab.
Also joining him will be Heidi Fleiss, Hollywood madam extraordinaire, and former Skid Row front-man Sebastian Bach, who seems to be making the D-list reality show rounds (see also: MTV's Celebrity Rap Superstar).
Aaron was only caught with weed, correct? Is that seriously grounds for rehab? Surely there are enough celebrity addicts out there better than Hilary and Lindsay's ex-love puppy. Unless it's some sort of d-bag rehab, in which case we're on board.

Scarlett Johansson wasted no time in debuting her engagement ring from fiancé Ryan Reynolds at last night's Costume Institute Gala at NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art. Pretty much every celebrity you can imagine was in attendance (except for Reynolds), and 95 percent of the wardrobe choices made our heart cry.

Nick Carter's little brother Aaron — best known for starting the feud between Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan — was busted by police for possession of marijuana.
Cops pulled Aaron over in Texas' Kimble County (read: the middle of nowhere) for speeding, but upon searching the vehicle authorities discovered over two ounces of pot. The poor thing had to stay in jail overnight.
This is truly shocking and devastating news to everyone still living in 2003.

Mike Comrie, Hilary Duff's newest boyfriend and star of the NHL (the NASCAR of the North), is said to be shopping for an engagement ring for the young actress/singer.

A few weeks ago, Page Six warned sashaying fashionistas everywhere that the tents canopying Bryant Park during New York Fashion Week would play host to fewer fabulous guests this year. While the news certainly came too late for flustered, coked-up event planners to pare champagne orders, it gave us an ample amount of time to fix a cheese plate, pour a glass of red and prepare to ogle the wreckage of the most poorly attended Fashion Week ever. That said, where is everyone?
Hilary Duff was in Montreal, where DrunkenStepfather caught her performing at a concert after-party. After the jump, see Duff dancing her way out of Fashion Week.

Cool picture, Hilary. Now play the guitar. Oh, I know you can't. I was just trying to completely expose the ridiculousness of the whole thing. Just keep hugging it. I'll be at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. See you never!
Assuming you don't have any prior knowledge, were you to close your eyes and press play on the video above, I have serious doubts that you'd be able to a. recognize that it's a live performance and b. distinguish this girl and her song from any of the other technologically altered tunes that make up the drab, flimsy tapestry that is current American popular music. She does co-opt belly dancing, though. Guess that's "hot."

Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff have decided to abandon their long running feud following a sit-down at Teddy's that was fueled by Red Bull, drenched in MAC and apparently proctored by a non-threatening African-American fellow. Says Hilary in the newest issue of Stella, "We're not best friends, you know? But we were out at Teddy's one night and she just came up and said 'I think we should just talk because I'm a nice girl and I know you're a nice girl'. It's nice to be friendly acquaintances."
At press time, dozens of heavyset black men were being sent to Jerusalem and Baghdad.

It's not that it's not true, it's that frankness like this in mainstream media is remarkable. Thanks, England.

Hilary Duff made a lengthy appearance at a Los Angeles area elementary school yesterday; during which she performed, signed autographs and prepared gift bags in support of a program she financed called USA Harvest's "Blessings in a Backpack." At month's end her support will have provided about 72,000 meals to the Normandie Elementary's underprivileged children. The school's star pupil is denoted above, though all the kids were extremely deserving. It's nice to finally hear that there's a famous person who doesn't see the donation of time and the donation of money as being mutually exclusive enterprises.

OK, I know I've been pretty in-your-face about tattoos lately, especially considering that I said this just a couple months ago; but I think everyone confused "No biggie with the weird tats" to mean "Even your initial topped by a bow is green-lighted." Well, it's not green-lighted. It's your initial topped by a bow. Are you giving yourself the gift of arrogance?
More, more, more.

The same day that the news breaks of Britney Spears being booed by catty, Floridian trannies, these pictures of Hilary Duff emerge. It's probably coincidental but, just the same, it's still a death knell for Britney. While she's literally up to her same old tricks—lip syncs and bad hair—the next generation is in photography studios getting made up to look twice their age, abusing wind machines and selling 13 million records. You also can't Google search their vaginas.
Sorry, Britney. They may look nicely manicured, but Hilary's are the nails in your coffin, babe.

Perhaps the only good thing about a cancer scare is that it horrifies you into taking care of yourself for the rest of your life. So, whereas some of us who have yet to be rattled in such a way continue ordering bourbons at lunch and adding more butter to the Alfredo sauce, Kylie Minogue is exercising and drinking water with every steamed vegetable plate she orders, fully aware at how quickly existence can unravel. That's why, at 38, she still looks like Hilary Duff's younger sister.
