Hilary Duff’s movie, What Goes Up, was released to DVD today! According to the What Goes Up blog, the producers are still considering a second theatrical run for the film, after the success it has met so far. Other possibilities include more film festivals as well as showing the film outside of the US. James Hoke says:

“Some of these decisions will depend on the initial DVD sales, but we really want to expand the release.”

If you want to see some clips from the movie, head on over to YouTube and search for “What Goes Up”. Many of those clips are not there legally, so I would encourage you to buy the DVD instead!

Hilary Duff’s War, Inc has been included in a new Blu-ray “Starter Kit” with 3 other movies. The Blu-ray kit contains “Four classic films to Jump Start your Blu-ray collection”: War, Inc./The Contract/The Proposition/Immortal.

All four films are available from First Look Pictures, with the Blu-ray pack first being made available for sale on June 2nd. Amazon is selling the pack for $36.99

In the latest HilaryDuff.com newsletter, the logo for Hilary Duff’s upcoming fashion collaboration, Femme for DKNY Jeans, was revealed:

We saw the logo earlier on the tshirt Hilary Duff’s “Walk With Love” team wore at the AIDS Walk in New York. The newsletter mentioned a new contest for fan club members to win those team t-shirts. There’s also a photo essay from AIDS Walk, and another from the Empire State Building.

Hilary Duff talked this week with NYLON magazine about her charity work, her Femme for DKNY line, and her role in The Story of Bonnie and Clyde.

Hilary first starts out talking about charity and how our generation needs to step up and do more volunteer work. That said, Hilary won’t “shake her finger” at anyone, since life is stressful as a young person, but says:

“We do a really good job of having sob stories for ourselves, when there’s a lot more need out there and a lot more people who have it harder than we do. Doing really simple things can actually be fun and be so rewarding.”

Hilary Duff talks briefly about what’ll be on her iPod for the AIDS Walk this weekend, then goes on to talk about her Femme for DKNY fashion line:

“We did two pairs of jeans this season—it’s kind of a selfish line, because it’s skinny jeans, which look the best on me. One thing I wanted was multiple-size belt loops, because sometimes I want to wear a skinny little belt wrapped around a million times, or sometimes I want to wear a really fat one that won’t ever stay in place, slung low. So it just has a lot of options. There’s other stuff, too, like little shrunken leather jackets. I wanted the stuff to be smart.”

Hilary says her inspiration for the line was “normal girls”, just regular people she sees out with unique styles. It’s not people with lots of money or lots of clothes, just people having a unique perspective in putting together what they do have. Nice! Read more

In the video I shared earlier today, Hilary Duff talks at around 3:35 about her new fashion line, Femme for DKNY Jeans. Hilary said:

“It’s not only jeans. We did little jackets and tops and a few dresses and big cowl neck scarves, which is really fun…

Since people are not wanting to spend a ton of money on clothes, it was really important to me designing the line to give people something extra. Like things that detach… something that comes with a top: maybe a big scarf that’s attached at the back, but you can take it off and wear it with something else. Or certain clothes that you can wear multiple different ways and it’ll look totally different.

All of that’s going to be shown on the website, but my inspiration was kind of selfish, because I did a lot of clothes that I like to wear. And I wanted to do that for my fans who feel that maybe those type of clothes aren’t accessible where they are. This line is very accessible, very affordable, and really stylish.”

Hilary Duff has been wearing a lot of scarves this Spring - so it sounds like we’ll see that inspired in the new line! Can’t wait!

And for those of you craving new pics of Hilary, check her out this set from a dinner Mike & Hilary recently had with Susan, and also some of Hilary & Mike at the JFK airport.

Haylie Duff recently starred in the Hallmark original movies Love Takes Wing and Love Finds a Home based upon the Love Comes Softly novels by Janette Oke. Those movies are now coming to DVD.

Love Takes Wing will be coming out on May 5th (pre-order here), and probably Love Finds a Home will be released soon after.

Love Takes Wing follows the story of Dr. Belinda Simpson (Sarah Jones) who arrives to a small town where many have become ill or have died. Haylie Duff plays her best friend and fellow doctor, Annie, and helps her get used to the small town life. In an interview about the series, Haylie shares how empowering it was to play a female doctor, which was rare in the period of the film.

Haylie also talked about what modern technology she couldn’t live without - and she said her iPhone. I’d have to agree! I use mine for everything, from reading books to text messaging to email and the web.

Check out Hilary Duff waving ‘Hi’ to the paparazzi yesterday when she was spotted out walking around Soho in her new pair of glasses. Such a polite girl!

Aside from the new horn-rimmed glasses, Hilary was sporting one very expensive handbag! Hilary is carrying a black Birkin bag from Hermes, a bag that starts at $7500 and can be as much as 6 figures! The waiting list for a Birkin bag is very long, though usually celebrities can get them a lot faster than most people. Read more
