Hilary, shut up!

Hmm ... I used to think it was Lindsay Lohan who propagated all the rumors and the catfighting, but it seems that since Hilary Duff's fallen into the throes of one-hit-wonderdom, she is using her tryst with Lohan to keep her name in the papers.

According to the World News Entertainment Network (wasn't aware there was such a thing), she said, "Certain artists my age who are going through this phase of not wanting a younger audience or not wanting people their age to like them or trying to get a more male-oriented audience will take their clothes off ... I definitely don't think that's a sign of maturity."

Could she possibly be hinting at the new Entertainment Weekly, boasting Lohan donning nothing but black pantyhose on its cover?

The infamously on-top-of-celebrity-gossip column Page Six spied:
... at last Friday's Z100 Jingle Ball, Duff took the feud up a notch when she got her boyfriend to make Lohan's little brother cry. Lohan, at the concert to introduce Destiny's Child, was with her brother Cody, 8, Cody's pal (also 8), her sister Ali, 10, and her mother, Dina.
"Cody and his friend love Good Charlotte, who were playing, and they really wanted an autograph from the band," our source reports. But when the boys and a Universal publicist knocked on the dressing room door, there was Duff sitting on the lap of Good Charlotte band member Joel Madden, whom she's dating.
Told that one boy was Lohan's brother, Duff whispered to Madden, who snapped: "Get me your mother!" When Dina got to the dressing room, Madden told her: "Until your daughter publicly apologizes to [Hilary], you're not getting any autographs!" According to our spy," Cody started crying, he was so upset. Dina was just appalled." A rep for Lohan declined comment. A rep for Duff said, "Hilary was not even near Joel's dressing room all night."

It's a little sketchy, considering that another credible source stated that the pair had broken up weeks ago, but teenage love can be so come-and-go ...

I LOVE Hilary, but please, please, shush your mouth about this -- the feud is so yesterday!
