People.com put together a “Red Carpet Look Book” featuring Hilary Duff’s red carpet looks over the years - and how she’s transformed “from tween star to red carpet sophisticate.”

And speaking of photos, check out this cute photo of Hilary Duff with Taylor Swift from the TRL finale.

Barney Miller is the founder / editor of Company X. He collaborated with Phil Andelman to create the “Reach Out” music video, both sharing the same vision and aesthetic for the final product. Phil directed the video and Barney Miller was responsible for the edit. Phil says that Barney’s sense of pacing is shrewd, with each cut having a “tight punch”, which definitely was the case in the final product!!

Barney said this of the video:

“The goal was to really conceptualize a defining transformation in Hilary’s career, in a classic party atmosphere. Philip eased Hilary into the shoot and guided her through the visual storytelling process. There was some trepidation from management as to whether the treatments were too risqué, but in the end, I think we realized Phil’s vision beautifully.”

The music video was said to draw inspiration from fashion photography, trying to capture a sense of still photography while also a sense of quick movement. They wanted to make it energetic without being frenetic, grabbing Hilary’s natural nuances in the music and translating that to the video.

Rachel describes working with Hilary on the look for the “Reach Out” music video, and about Hilary not cheapening herself while pushing boundaries. Rachel notes that Hilary is “exploring her other side, discovering herself” in the music video. She wanted to create looks that would go with the rawness of the hand-held camera work.

Her three favorite looks are the cherry red lips / gold eye look, which was “slightly Jerry Hall and very late 70s/early 80s”, the deep red lip / purple eye look, which was Hilary’s favorite and very “in your face”, and a nude lips / purple eye look Rachel calls “the ringmaster”, which was playful and “pop art.”

Here are a couple of products from each look, with a full list of the make-up used for these 3 looks here.

If you go to Rachel’s website, you can see that Rachel has worked with Hilary on some of her more fabulous magazine shoots and her Dignity photoshoots as well!

Well, I don’t know many details about this version - who edited it, or for what purpose it was created - but a fourth version of the “Reach Out” music video has appeared. It’s still censored, in a way, but has new scenes. What do you think of this one??

Other “Reach Out” music videos:

Thanks Danyamara!

As we knew before, Hilary Duff is currently working with NBC to put together a show. Hilary gets to “call all the shots,” as she jokes, although they don’t yet know what the material will be yet.

“I think I would like to do something funny, so probably a comedy. It’s hard to sit here and say, ‘I want to be this character and this character.’ I would like to do something funny … or I would like to kick ass or something. [I’d want to] be some kind of — not a superhero, but some young person that’s empowering and that does something no one expects from her, like take care of problems.”

Given Hilary Duff’s other efforts to empower young people, and to stand up for good causes, this sounds like a great thing to look for in a character. I think television could use more shows with empowered young women.

The one year agreement with NBC also entitles Hilary Duff to make cameo appearances on various NBC shows. So, she’s looking at which NBC shows she’d like to make guest arcs on.

“I would love to do something on ‘The Office.’ ‘30 Rock’ is great, very funny.”

But what is YOUR opinion? Here is a poll with all active NBC shows that Hilary could likely take part in:

Leave a comment if you think she should be in more than one of these shows! Or say why you made your choice!

After the portions of the interview I mentioned before, Hilary shared the best news of the night: Hilary Duff returns to the studio this month to work on a new album!

“I’m going to start working on a new album in two weeks”

As she mentioned before, Hilary will be working on the album independent of any record label. Hilary has been writing songs and working hard to determine a new direction to go in. She’s looking to create music that more edgy, but still pop music:

“I like so many different kinds of music. Something poppy and catchy — I’m girly but I think I’m kind of tough, so maybe a little rock influence.”

Hilary Duff talked to MTV about her new single, ‘Reach Out’, off of her ‘Best Of’ album. Hilary describes the new single with:

“It’s different for me. It’s a little dancey, and there’s a rapper named Prophet who’s on it who’s really cool and kinda fresh.”

Hilary also talked about ‘Holiday‘ as being a very “personal” song. As described in the next post, Hilary also talks about another new album!
