Yesterday we learned that Hilary Duff has some sort of a vague contractual relationship with NBC that will obligate us to see her on a regular basis via our television screens. This news brought up some old feelings for us . . .
Namely, irritation.
Homegirl recently released her second greatest hits compilation album entitled Best Of, after releasing her first greatest hits album, Most Wanted, in 2005. Doesn’t that seem extreme for someone with only 3 non-compilation albums to her credit?
That annoyed us a little bit. But, we (being the benevolent bloggers we are) will find it in our hearts to give her another chance. Especially since Ms. Duff will be getting back to her television roots (and perhaps her brunette roots as well; we like her in a darker hue) in the very near future. Variety.com says:
Under terms of the one-year talent and development deal, Peacock will develop a show starring Duff; thesp [sic] will also be tapped to guest star in various current NBC shows.
[. . .]
Duff will meet with writers and comb through the Peacock's development for the right project to star in.
Hmmm. Well as long as “the right project” doesn’t include a secret rockstar alter ego (å la Hannah Montana), a musical episode (å la Buffy the Vampire Slayer), or an after work karaoke bar (å la Ally McBeal), then we’re into this little television comeback.
And we look forward (sort of) to seeing Hilary guest spots across the network. One day she’ll be saving lives on ER. The next day she’ll be a guest spy on Chuck. Maybe they’ll even let her play a corpse on one of the Law & Orders! That’s a good one, cause there’s definitely no singing allowed.
