This story is from, of course, the most respected news source in the world: IMDb.Duff: "Lohan Started Feud"
Actress Hilary Duff has hit out again at teen rival Lindsay Lohan, blaming the Mean Girls star for starting their feud. The pair have been at each other's throats since Lohan, 18, discovered Duff was dating her ex-boyfriend, singer Aaron Carter. But Duff, 17, insists Lohan's jealousy is behind the bickering. The A Cinderella Story actress says, "The thing is, it's all so childish and immature. This all started because we both dated Aaron Carter, and she went around telling everybody that I was a horrible person who had stolen her boyfriend. She then got p*ssed off because I worked with Chad Michael Murray after she had worked with him on Freaky Friday. She called him up and said all these awful things about me, which she then repeated to the press. I don't think I can take it anymore. It's so hurtful. Sometimes I feel like I really hate her, which is pretty extreme for me, because I don't hate anybody." But Duff insists she is prepared to rise above the rift: "She's always trying to spread stories about me, but the funny thing is, I know so many stories about her that I could tell you right now, but I'm not going to, because I don't think people should know. I don't want her to get mad at me for telling them. And you know what the funny thing is in all this? I just want us to be friends - that's all."
Let's just hope that Duff and Lohan make amends, or at least that Duff doesn't tell us those 'many stories' about Lohan.
In the words of Smash Mouth, as heard in the very first episode of "Lizzie McGuire":
Why <i>can't</i> we be friends?!I seen ya I seen ya I seen ya walkin’ down in Chinatown
I called ya I called ya I called but you did not look around
I pay my I pay my I pay my money to the welfare line
I seen ya I seen ya I seen ya standing in it everytime
Why can’t we be friends (4x)
The color the color the color of your skin don’t matter to me
As long as as long as long as we can live in harmony
I kinda I kinda I kinda like to be the president
And I could and I could and I could show you how your money’s spent
