Hillary Duff is like key lime ice cream to us. We’d never seek it out, and we’d never ask for yours, but if someone force-feeds it to us, we might as well enjoy it as much as we can. We tolerate.

That doesn’t mean we don’t pay attention when bad things happen to her family, especially when it has nothing to do with the Duff herself

From AP:

A judge in Texas has ordered the father of actress and singer Hilary Duff to spend 10 days in jail for contempt of court.

Bob Duff was led away in handcuffs Wednesday during a court hearing after Judge Thomas Stansbury in Houston determined he violated an injunction against selling assets without court approval.

The Houston Chronicle reported in its online edition that Bob Duff must pay into a court repository $367,537 he earned from selling stocks last month.

Bob and Susan Duff are in the midst of a bitter divorce.

Stansbury determined Bob Duff should pay Susan $12,500 for Hilary’s birthday party, which was the subject of the hearing. Her mother wanted $25,000 to pay for a present and party.

Though the entire thing seems rather foolish ($25K for a party and gift?), we did get the giggles to see that AP considers Hilary Duff both a singer and an actress.

Tee hee. Actress.
