7 Things That Prove Hilary Duff Escaped The Insanity That is Child Stardom Unscathed

By Meg |

Could Hilary Duff be the only Disney star that hasn't gone totally crazy? Miley, Raven, Lindsay, they've all a little bit lost their minds. Not Hilary Duff, though. Since her Lizzie McGuire Days, she's stayed grounded and humble.

Duff has proven time and time again that she is a rare breed: a successful child-star-turned adult.

These are just some of the reasons why she's our favorite...

1. She's a great mom.

In 2010, Duff married NHL star Mike Comrie, and two years later they welcomed a baby boy named Luca Cruz Comrie.

Duff always puts her son first, and makes sure the two share special moments together.

Though the couple split in 2016, they still co-parent together and remain on good terms. Duff has even posted cute videos of Comrie on her Instagram.

2. She follows her dreams.

Hilary Duff has been vocal about wanting to be a singer and actress since she was a young girl. Now, she's still doing both those things. Her latest album, Breathe In. Breathe Out. was her fifth studio album, released in 2015.

She is also still acting, with her new show Younger becoming an instant classic.

4. She has no time for body-shamers.

Hilary Duff was a great role model for us as kids, because she was never unhealthily thin. She looked like an "average" girl and rocked it. It seems people forgot this, and when a photo surfaced of her looking amazing on the set of Younger, people lost it.

The 2000s was a huge decade in terms of world events, cultural breakthroughs and the steady advance of technology. In music it was the decade that Beyoncé broke through, making Crazy In Love arguably the defining song of her career. On TV The Office changed the face of comedy forever, going on to reach even greater heights than its UK debut when it underwent a US transformation and introduced Dunder Mifflin to the world. It was also the decade that saw the very first iPod launched, changing forever the way that we buy and listen to music.It was also

Mike Meyers Shared An Update About 'Austin Powers 4' And It's Totally "Groovy, Baby"

By Tanya
When you think of the ultimate man of mystery, who do you think of? James Bond? No of course not. Ethan Hunt? Nope, not even close. The obvious answer is Austin Powers. When Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery came out back in 1997, it felt almost like there was a shift in the world. Suddenly, this ridiculous comedy became all anyone could talk about. It was unexpected, but you know what, it was worth it because the movie was awesome. Making references and jokes to the movie became common place, and you couldn't really ever say the words "one

We are still in the prime of our lives, and a lot of us still feel like we're just getting started on our path to being a "real grown-up."

There's no rush, so let's all just relax and try to stay young longer.Here's the

Remembering NFL in the 90's

By Jordan N
NFL in the 90s. The Golden Years of FootballIf you can cast your mind back to what the NFL was like in the 90’s, you can perhaps remember some of the great teams and players of the time, not to mention some of the important milestones as well. Maybe you remember the Dallas Cowboys winning three Super Bowls in four years or when the Denver Broncos won a perfect season in 1998. Of course, there are plenty of memorable player moments too. Like when Dan Marino won the title of the best all-time passing leader. Or when Jerry Rice

Brace Yourself: The Backstreet Boys Released A New Song And Are Going On A World Tour

By Tanya
The Backstreet Boys have been one of the biggest bands in the country, well, the world for several decades now. After getting their start in the early 90s, they've managed to be one of the very few bands that has stuck together and continued performing. They didn't need a big reunion, because they didn't break up. Well, let's just pretend like that whole Kevin fiasco didn't happen. But anyways, they've been putting out music and performing together for 25 years now, and they have no intention of stopping. To be fair, they did warn of this two decades ago. They

If there was one product that you had to pick that would best represent what it was like to be a preteen in the 90s, I think a lot of us girls would agree that Lip Smackers would be the best choice. These little tubes of oftentimes glittered, scented, colorful lip-balm made us all feel like the fanciest of ladies, totally ready to grab our purses and do whatever it is that our moms did when they weren't paying attention to us. You had so many different choices too. You'd have a classic berry scented red Lip Smacker, you'd have
