Hilary Duff: Inside Her Life

From shopping sprees to charity work, take a peek into the Cinderella Story star's world. By Serena Kappes

FAN-TASTIC

The Houston native was first inspired to sing while watching her sister rehearse with her band. Now a platinum-selling artist herself (with her 2003 debut CD Metamorphosis), Duff says of performing her music (in Los Angeles in February): "All of these people knowing every single word to my songs and holding up signs at a sold-out venue, that's so exciting." Duff will release her second album on Sept. 28, her 17th birthday.
