We haven’t seen much of her on the big screen lately, but Hilary Duff is more than ready to launch into several upcoming projects. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actress has joined the cast of the Polish brothers’ latest comedy “Stay Cool.”

Written by Mark and Michael Polish, whose credits include “The Astronaut Farmer,” the film centers on a successful author who must face one of his high school crushes when he travels back home to deliver a commencement address.

Mark Polish slips into the role of the lead character, with Winona Ryder playing his unrequited crush. Duff plays a high school senior who flirts with the author and tries to hook up with him at the prom.

Duff can currently be seen in the political satire “War, Inc.,” which is only playing in limited cities. Before that, she last starred alongside sister Haylie Duff in “Material Girls

In a celebrity lineup not seen since the Los Angeles Lakers' heyday in the '80s, the stars showed up at the Staples Center Tuesday night and those willing their stumbling team to victory included Hilary Duff and David Beckham. Also in the crowd – besides Laker legend Magic Johnson, who this time was a spectator – Kristin Davis, Kanye West, Dustin Hoffman, Andy Garcia, David Arquette and Fergie, all mingling in the celebrity-only Chairman's Room below the stadium "It was amazing sitting around that circle of fans," Duff told People courtside as she nestled with pro-hockey-player boyfriend Mike Comrie. "It was just really exciting.

The men behind Hilary Duff's new movie War Inc. felt sure they'd have to rewrite some scenes when the squeaky-clean actress landed the lead - because they'd be too crude for her.

But the game actress/pop star shocked them by going through with the risque scenarios - which included performing mock fellatio on a fuel pump and dropping a live scorpion down her pants.

Writers Jeremy Pisker and Mark Leyner say, "We wrote a scene where her character gives a blow job to a gas nozzle, and when we got Hilary to do the movie, we thought, 'Well, we've got to rewrite that.' But she did it."

And co-star John Cusack admits her fake fellatio was better than the one on paper: "She did it in a more sly way. She licked it (the nozzle) like an ice-cream cone. She did better than the script."

When it came to the scorpion scene, Duff, who plays a wildchild Eastern European pop star in the film, had nothing to lose.

She explains, "I had done so much for this film by then, I couldn't really say no."

But Duff admits she was a little concerned her tough-talking, wild character would upset her fans: "I have to have this foul mouth, be this rude and crude girl who tries to be sexy but she's so young and kind of vulgar."

It's a battle of filmmaking titans this week, the kind of event that comes around once in a lifetime . Steven Spielberg and Uwe Boll will duke it out at the multiplexes. (Forgive us, but that might've been our only opportunity to ever get to put those two names in the same sentence.)

"The Children of Huang Shi"

Set during the Japanese occupation of China during the 1930s, this sweeping historical epic comes from Roger Spottiswoode, the director behind both "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot" and the narrative remake of "Shake Hands with the Devil." The first official co-production between Australia and China, the film tells the true story of Australian nurse (Radha Mitchell), who with the aid of a British journalist (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), escorts 60 orphaned children 700 miles through the Liu Pan Shan Mountains to evade Japanese secret police. "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" co-stars Michelle Yeoh

Hilary Duff has admitted that she put a live scorpion down her pants for her latest film role.

The Lizzie McGuire star said that she was forced to shoot the "terrifying" scenes in War, Inc several times because the creature wouldn't stay still.

"It was so scary," she told La Confidential. "I grew up in Texas, and we had plenty of scorpions, but I never had to put one down my pants before.

"And my pants weren’t that baggy, so I couldn’t get any space. I did it a couple times with it . . .

John Cusack was blown away by Hillary Duff's performance in their new movie War, Inc., and considers her brave for risking her child-friendly pop star status.

Duff ditched her clean-cut image to play a trashy Middle Eastern pop singer in the Cusack-directed war satire, which also stars Joan Cusack, Marisa Tomei and Sir Ben Kingsley.

And the actor/director admits he was shocked by her "wonderful" performance.

Cusack says, "We didn't know her. We knew she wanted to do the movie, which takes a lot of courage for a young girl who's already got huge fan base, who's a big pop star.

"I don't think any of us knew she would be quite as gifted, as intelligent as she is. Not only did she hold her, I think she's every bit as charismatic and wonderful as those other three actors."

Move over, Miley Cyrus. Stars like Jennifer Hudson, Mariska Hargitay and Angie Harmon all stripped down for Allure's annual portfolio of naked stars. And Editor in Chief Linda Wells is dishing the dirt on the birthday-suit shoots. "Stars do get surprisingly rattled," she told People Wednesday night, during the magazine's Most Alluring Bodies silent auction in New York City. And even though they didn't all appear in Allure, nude portraits of Angelina Jolie, Gisele Bundchen, Kate Moss and Scarlett Johansson were donated by photographers to benefit Skin Cancer Research.

Hilary Duff is hoping her role in new movie War, Inc. will kill her good-girl image once and for all.

The 20-year-old has wrestled with the label since rising to fame as a clean-cut teen pop star.

She recently revealed her desire to be recognised as an adult - and went to great lengths in the movie to do so.

Duff travelled unaccompanied to Bulgaria to film the movie with co-stars John Cusack, Sir Ben Kingsley and Marisa Tomei, dying her trademark blonde locks for a darker hairdo to play onscreen temptress Yonica.

She says, "I got to play a character far away from who I am in my real life.

"I got to be a little bit of a bad girl for a change."

War Inc. premieres on Monday at New York's Tribeca Film Festival.

Lizzie McGuire actress Lalaine Vergara Paras is currently enrolled in a drug abuse program after a secret arrest and conviction for possession of crystal methamphetamine.

The 20-year-old, who played Miranda Sanchez - the best friend of Hilary Duff's Lizzie McGuire - was arrested in Los Angeles in July 2007 and charged with felony possession of the narcotic.

She eventually pleaded guilty in February, after initially missing a court appearance, and having a $50,000 (GBP25,000) warrant issued for her arrest.

Paras' record will be erased once she has completed a course at the Asian American Drug Abuse Program.

Model-turned-fashion mogul Kimora Lee Simmons' new Barbie doll comes with a faux-fur coat, in a bid to show young girls they can look "fabulous" without skinning animals.

The designer and reality TV star admits she was thrilled when toymakers Mattel decided to model a Barbie in her likeness, but she had one recommendation.

She says, "She has a faux-fur chinchilla coat, because I want to show kids that synthetic fur can be fabulous, too. She's everything a Barbie is supposed to be."

Simmons isn't the only celebrity to inspire a modern Barbie - a Hilary Duff doll has also been created recently.

Transformers star Megan Fox has been named the Sexiest Woman in the World in Fhm magazine's annual list of lovelies.

The actress/model steals the crown from pregnant Jessica Alba who topped the hot hitlist in 2007.

Alba falls to number three on the 14th annual countdown, behind Fox and Jessica Biel, while Elisha Cuthbert and Scarlett Johansson round out the new top five.

Fhm bosses had more votes than ever before from readers who selected the girls on the 2008 list, but few favoured former hotties Victoria Beckham and Britney Spears, who rounded out the top 100 at numbers 99 and 100 respectively.

The top 10 on Fhm's 100 Sexiest Women in the World list is:

1. Megan Fox

2. Jessica Biel

3. Jessica Alba

4. Elisha Cuthbert

5. Scarlett Johansson

6. Emmanuelle Chriqui

7. Hilary Duff

8. Tricia Helfer

9. Blake Lively

Actress/singer Hilary Duff has denied reports she and Lindsay Lohan don't get on - insisting any feuds between the pair were confined to their teens.

Duff was accused of stealing Lohan's then boyfriend, pop star Aaron Carter, in 2002, but the 20-year-old insists they have both moved on since then.

She says, "Supposedly, I stole Lindsay Lohan's boyfriend (Carter). We were, like, 13! And I've never stolen anyone's boyfriend! I don't know how you do that!

"She was talking about it and I wasn't. It made us both look bad and put up a big weirdness. Really, she was just a girl my age. We are fine now, by the way."
