Artists Nikki Gil and Billy Crawford recently performed a cover of Hilary Duff’s “Reach Out” (the Joe Bermudez remix) at ASAP 09 in the Philippines. It’s pretty fantastic to see someone cover Hilary Duff’s music in a live performance!

And here’s the original Joe Bermudez remix:

What do you think of the cover??

And in other news, Hilary Duff was spotted in New York having dinner at SushiSamba recently.

“The starlet sipped wine with her sushi and ‘looked über-chic in a red strapless dress with a black scarf and killer gladiator black heels.’”

Hilary Duff is the latest artist to be added to the new roller coaster “The Time Machine” at the reopened Freestyle Music Park in Myrtle Beach, California. The coaster used to feature just Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love,” while now it will feature songs from the 1960s through to today. There are 5 different soundtracks, one of which includes Hilary Duff’s music. Do you think they choose a good song?

You can hear Hilary’s music playing about 30 seconds into the ride (looks like they show the music videos while you wait in line!).

The video below is a fan-made video that features Hilary Duff’s final music video for ‘Reach Out’ with the original audio:

From what I can dig up, the UK CD contained a second track of ‘Reach Out’, this time a “demo” track that features Hilary Duff’s real voice, prior to filtering and remastering. I’m not sure if that’s where it came from, or if perhaps it was leaked out, but you can tell that the audio is different. A lot more raw and sexy, I think. What do you think?

For comparison, here’s the final mastered version for ‘Reach Out’:

In Hilary Duff’s latest single, ‘Reach Out’, from her ‘Best Of‘ Album, she samples from Depeche Mode’s ‘Personal Jesus’. Depeche Mode is currently coming up with a new album, and in an interview recently talked about Hilary’s use of their track. Frontman Dave Gahan had this to say:

“I don’t know what I think about it…. It’s a little weird,” laughed Gahan. “I think it was something that Martin didn’t really have any choice over, they kind of did it anyway. But, you know, it is what it is. Look, my daughter loves it. You know what she said to me? ‘But it’s not the same, Dad.’ “

Hilary Duff’s ‘Best Of’ album was off of iTunes for a while, I’m not exactly sure why, but it’s back up!! So, you can now buy the full album here.

In addition, you can buy each of the songs from ‘Best Of’ on their own now! So, if you just want to buy ‘Reach Out‘ or ‘Holiday‘, or the remixes, they are just $0.99 each! You can buy the ‘Reach Out’ music video for $1.49 too, so that’s great if you want to watch it in a good quality! Read more

A third version of Hilary Duff’s “Reach Out” music video (original version | tv censored version) has been found! This video, edited by Barney Miller, features more of the choking scenes with also a bunch more artistic shots that didn’t make it into the final cut for the music video. I like it!

Also, according to E-Talk (via) Hilary Duff will be spending Thanksgiving with her mom (Mike Comrie has a game the next day) somewhere “stress-free”.

As promised, Hilary Duff got up bright and early this morning to talk to Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS FM show.

The beginning of the interview is Ryan reading an excerpt from Twilight, which Hilary admits to being obsessed with the series too! (Have you read them yet, just OMG! Or seen the movie?) They also talk about Rob Pattinson, and move on (naturally) to Mike Comrie. Hilary admits to having a “weird track record” with the guys she goes out with.

Hilary Duff also talks about her new single, ‘Reach Out‘, and about recording new songs for her new album in a couple of weeks! She even jokes about writing a song about wanting to date a vampire
Hilary Duff continues her interview talking about her NBC deal, and her desire to do a comedy show.

Hilary Duff went to New York City to be a part of MTV’s Total Request Live (TRL) series finale, aptly dubbed “Total Finale Live”. The final episode was taped in the MTV Studios in Times Square on November 16th. Hilary Duff was on the show to talk about her most memorable moments as part of the series. We see, from below, some of those favorite moments:

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.”
