War, Inc Trailer

War .Inc
By John Causak

War, Inc. is the first wacky satire about the green zone in Iraq. You know, the place soliders call the Emerald City. The fortified compound where Americans hole up and pretend that there’s not a maelstrom of violence and complete insanity outside. War stars John Cusack as a hitman assigned to kill a middle east oil minister. The trailer is flat out fantastic, and this will either end up being this war’s Apocalypse Now or it’ll crash and burn and be a more offensive version of American Dreamz. It’s risky. Watch the newest War, Inc trailer in high-res by going here or just click play on the embedded video below:

After I saw the trailer I think Hilary does not seem to have a big role in this movie. Do you think so?
About the movie - the movie seems to be an action/war comedy.

Hilary Duff, Adam Barta Shaping Next Generation of Dance Music on MTV's LOGO Network

The next generation of dance music has arrived ladies and gentleman, and with the emergence of networks such as MTV's LOGO, artists such as Adam Barta and Hilary Duff are breaking onto the scene in a way like never before. Barta's music video for his Billboard-breakout dance single, I Wanna Hold You, hit the number one spot this week on MTV's LOGO network's weekly music countdown, The Click List.

NYC, NY (PRWEB) July 30, 2007 -- The next generation of dance music has arrived ladies and gentleman, and with the emergence of networks such as MTV's LOGO, artists such as Adam Barta and Hilary Duff are breaking onto the scene in a way like never before. Barta's music video for his Billboard-breakout dance single, "I Wanna Hold You", hit the number one spot this week on LOGO's weekly music countdown, The Click List (knocking out Jonny McGovern's reign of over 10 weeks). Also holding steady on the countdown this past week was Duff's new music video for her single "Stranger", off her major label release on Hollywood Records. The convergence of major label artists like Duff with mainstream, but more independent artists such as Barta, on such a major music network, is remapping the way the industry is shaped. Both Barta and Duff have become icons in the gay community in their own right, Duff trading in her bubble gum pop image for a sexier, sophisticated sound and look, and Barta in heavy rotation on Pride Radio and hitting the #1 spot on iGay radio music charts. With the advent of digital airplay and downloading music with the hit of a button, it allows for an injection of dance music artists both independent and major, into the mainstream music culture, whereas before it was a very streamlined and competitive industry in which only those with major label support were able to succeed.

"I Wanna Hold You", Barta's latest single, received a breakout on the Billboard hot club play charts back in October and is on other dance charts around the country. It has been heard on XM's BPM, Sirius's The Beat, and is in rotation on Clear Channel top 40 stations throughout the country. It peaked at the number one spot on the Loud City music charts, appeared on Promo Only's and RockAmerica's video series in June, also being played at Abercrombie and Fitch stores throughout the country. Produced by DJ Mike Rizzo, who has a number of dance hits to his credit, the song also peaked at #23 on the DJ Times Dance Charts and higher on other record pool charts around the nation. No stranger to performing, this Bronx native has shared stages with Lucas Prata, Reina, and Danielle Bollinger. He will be featured on a track called Standing in the Rain on Russ Harris' upcoming album Ear Therapy on EsNtion Records. Duff's album, Dignity, has met with much success in the dance, pop and gay music community.

Hilary Duff reveals she is dating Mike Comrie but they are not "boyfriend and girlfriend"

I think the doubt has now come to an end. Hilary Duff reveals she has been dating Mike Comrie a couple of times. But they are not "boyfriend and girlfriend". Shit! It does not seem to remove the confusion again, who is Hilary's Boyfriend.

Hilary says she and Mike have dated a couple of times

Singer says she may have to study up on hockey

Iain Ilich, The Edmonton Journal

EDMONTON - Teen pop star Hilary Duff acknowledged Friday she's been dating hockey star Mike Comrie but says they've only been out a couple of times and they're not "boyfriend and girlfriend."

Duff, who performs at Rexall Place next week, also says she knows nothing about hockey but added: "Maybe I'm going to have to learn."

"Mike and I met a week ago, and we've been out a couple times, and it's like, he's great, he's really nice," the singer-actress said by phone from a plane on the tarmac at the Los Angeles International Airport.

"But we're not, like, boyfriend and girlfriend. You know, we've been to dinner a couple of times."

Will the Edmonton-born former Oiler, who now makes his home in Los Angeles, be coming to Edmonton when Duff performs at Rexall Place next Wednesday?

"I'm not sure," she laughs. "Maybe you'll see him there, maybe you won't."

Celebrity blogs around the world have been abuzz since the 26-year-old hockey player and the 19-year-old singer were photographed leaving a Santa Monica, Calif. restaurant on Wednesday evening. The reaction from TMZ.com blog readers has been mixed, from comments on Comrie's looks (some say he is big-headed, others say he is handsome), to hate-filled diatribes from hockey fans who feel jilted because of his unhappy departure from the Oilers.

Comrie was traded from the Oilers to the Philadelphia Flyers in 2003. He most recently played for the Stanley Cup finalist Ottawa Senators, but has since signed with the New York Islanders.

Born in Houston, Texas, Duff didn't grow up surrounded by sticks, pucks and nets, and she readily admits that she's new to the whole hockey thing.

"I was actually laughing with my friends, because I don't know anything about hockey."

Duff has also learned from experience about how tough it can be to maintain a relationship while on the road, touring constantly.

Her balanced view of the challenges posed by her career, and the trouble it can cause when it comes to sustaining a relationship, help her to keep her personal life in order.

"I think that I've never had it any other way, you know," says Duff, who spent most of her teenage years in show business.

"Of course, when you're younger, you have little boyfriends at school and stuff, and that doesn't really count.

"But the one serious relationship that I did have (with Good Charlotte vocalist Joel Madden), I was on tour for most of the time, and so was he, so it's like that is what's normal, and you just learn to deal with it.

"Sometimes it's good, you know," she continues. "It's definitely hard when you really care about someone and want to spend all your time with them to constantly be away and be in different cities and be in different time zones, and have totally different schedules. It gets kind of frustrating.

"But it's also nice to get to miss someone. We always want what we can't have, and living my life right now, if someone understands, then great. I'll work hard and they'll work hard, or whatever.

"But if not, it's not meant to be. That's my positive outlook on it," she laughs. "Sometimes it's not always that positive."

Duff kicks off her Canadian tour on Saturday in Winnipeg, with a stop in Edmonton on Wednesday.

The Salvation Army is thrilled to partner with Hilary Duff in nationwide food drive

The press release of Canada NewsWire reports "The Salvation Army is thrilled to partner with Hilary"
See the press release...

TORONTO, July 27 /CNW/ - The Salvation Army is thrilled to partner with Hilary Duff as she kicks off her Dignity Tour in Winnipeg, MB on July 28, 2007, the first of 12 shows she will play across Canada.

Once again, Hilary is asking her fans to bring canned goods to her concert in support of The Salvation Army and Canadian Harvest. On her past two Canadian tours, Hilary has raised more than 125,000 pounds of food.

"Working with Canadian Harvest is a way for me to give something back to the community," said Hilary Duff. "The past two times I toured Canada, my fans did an amazing job of providing canned goods and I'm certain this time my fans can do even better!"

At each Canadian stop on the Dignity Tour, donations will be collected at the concert gates by The Salvation Army. All of the food will be distributed through The Salvation Army in the communities from which it was collected. Fans are encouraged to bring as much as they can.

"Having enough food to feed your family is a huge concern for many in Canada," says Graham Moore, Territorial Secretary for Public Relations and Development. "We are extremely pleased to be working with Hilary Duff as she encourages her fans to support the vulnerable and marginalized throughout the country."

Hilary Duff is a multi-platinum chart-topping recording artist and concert performer, fashion designer, actress, business woman and philanthropist. She recently released her fourth studio album called Dignity and can also be seen in the upcoming film War, Inc., with John Cusack.

Hilary's 'tween fashion and home line stuff by Hilary Duff is available exclusively at Zellers. Hilary will launch her Canadian tour on July 28, 2007 in Winnipeg and will play shows across Canada, ending in Sault St. Marie on September 11, 2007.

Canadian Harvest and its American counterpart, USA Harvest, began in 1989 as Kentucky Harvest, the brainchild of Stan Curtis. The goal of the organization is to move food from people who have extra to people who have too little. Since 1989, the "food-raisers' have collected 11.6 billion pounds of food for missions, soup kitchens and food banks across North America.

The Salvation Army is an international Christian organization that began its work in Canada in 1882 and has grown to become the largest
non-governmental direct provider of social services in the country. The
Salvation Army gives hope and support to vulnerable people today and everyday in 400 communities across Canada and 111 countries around the world. The Salvation Army offers practical assistance for children and families, often tending to the basic necessities of life, provides shelter for homeless people and rehabilitation for people who have lost control of their lives to an addiction.

When you give to The Salvation Army, you are investing in the future of marginalized and overlooked people in your community.

Hilary Duff stays Grounded...

Hilary Duff stays grounded By DAVID SCHMEICHEL -- Sun Media

It makes perfect sense that former tween queen Hilary Duff would want to name her most recent album Dignity.

For one thing, she's one of the only stars her age who could pull it off.

To date, Duff is one of scant few members of Hollywood's new guard who have yet to be arrested, shipped off to rehab, or caught flashing their lady parts to paparazzi while clumsily exiting a limo.

Instead, she has made a pretty smooth transition from teen-TV fare like Lizzie Maguire to popular big-screen projects like A Cinderella Story and the Cheaper by the Dozen franchise. Along the way, she's released six CDs, and while critics haven't always been kind to her fluffy brand of pop, the Dignity disc -- awash in electro-clash stylings and heavily autobiographical lyrics -- has been met with pretty positive reviews.

So what is it that keeps Duff -- already a show-biz veteran at the tender age of 19 -- out of the scandal sheets and in the public's good books?

"I guess it's my mom," says Duff, while being driven to her home in L.A. "I really feel like that is what has made it so easy for me to not have to go through all that.

"My mom and my sister being so close to me, and my actually caring what they have to say ... Also having a mom that doesn't want the lifestyle I have, but who just wants to be my mom."

She's definitely on to something there. While your typical train-wreck celebs (think Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton or Nick Carter) tend to have parents who are just as fame-hungry as they are, those lucky enough not to be dogged by scandal (think Justin Timberlake, Mandy Moore, and ... uh, see how hard this?) usually have guardians content to offer support from the sidelines.

Perhaps we have Duff's mom to thank for the perky pop star's preternatural poise, which seems a bit at odds with the awkward antics she engaged in on the Lizzie Maguire set back in the day.

"Well, in some ways I was a lot like that character, but I've also always been pretty mature for my age," says Duff, when asked which persona -- clumsy klutz or dignified diva -- most resembles the real-life Hilary.

Not that she's looking to show all her cards anytime soon. A far more private person than her compatriots, Duff says she found it difficult to air some of her dirty laundry on Dignity, which sees her riffing on a failed relationship, her parents' recent divorce, and a stalker jailed for harassing her in 2006.

"At first it was scary, because you're like, 'How much do I want people to know?' " explains Duff, who's been romantically linked to Aaron Carter and Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden. "It's hard to let your guard down when you're so used to having it up, but it got easier."

That practice should prove beneficial where Duff's acting career is concerned, especially since it's the outlet she plans to focus on whenever doubling as an actress and a singer grows too demanding.

Though her prior efforts have netted her a string of Razzie Award nominations (not a good thing), she's got two high-profile film projects due out this year -- voice-work on the animated comedy Foodfight!, and a part in the political satire War Inc., alongside John Cusack, Marisa Tomei and Ben Kingsley.

But fans of her albums needn't worry -- she isn't done with singing just yet.

"It's that instant gratification of having a live audience in front of you," Duff says, when asked what recording offers that acting doesn't. "Having people who don't even speak the same language as you relating to you, and singing all the words to your songs."
