Don't Mess with the Duff

We told you earlier that former teen queen and Disney starlet Hilary Duff landed the role of Bonnie in a remake of Bonnie and Clyde. Upon hearing about the casting decision Faye Dunaway, who was the original Bonnie, lashed out claiming that Duff wasn't a 'real' actress. I'm not sure what defines a 'real' actress, but apparently Duff ain't it.
Not to be dissed and dismissed, Hilary recently fired back with the following:

"I think that my fans that are going to go see the movie don't even know who she is, so you know…. I think it was a little unnecessary but I might be mad if I looked like that now too."

Ouch. First of all, good for Hilary. For someone who hasn't had a respectable role in film for...well...maybe ever...she certainly can hold her own against the Oscar winning Dunaway. I'm thinking we should lock the two of them in a room together and let them hash it out. Or, better yet, they could settle their score Miley style and have a YouTube dance/sing off. I like the former better.

Hilary Duff...More Small Screen News

Last year she turned down the lead in the new 90210, but this year Hilary Duff is seemingly sweeping up every opportunity to be on the small screen. The former tween queen not only inked a deal for which she’ll star in her own sitcom on NBC, but she also just cemented herself a guest spot on the CBS drama Ghost Whisperer. Duff will play a young woman who may or may not be involved in the death of a man.
Television isn’t the only place where Duff is making headlines…reports claim the star has signed on to play Bonnie alongside Kevin Zegers in a remake of the classic “Bonnie and Clyde”. Tonya S. Holly, who is directing the indie drama "The Story of Bonnie and Clyde," stresses that the new film is not a remake and will showcase periods in the couple's lives not seen onscreen before.
