Hilary Duff Fails At Being A Sexy Pop Star

YouTube Preview Image

Hilary Duff and her giant fake teeth have released a new “sexy” music video.

In addition to ruining a perfectly good Depeche Mode song, she seems to be trying to shed her goodie-goodie image like everyone knows you have to do in order to succeed after a long Disney career. She also signed on for a role as a slutty pop star in John Cusack’s upcoming movie War Inc., which seems to have gone straight to DVD.

However, she’s just not good at being sexy. Apparently unable to dance, in the video La Duff mostly writhes around in a variety of Victorian outfits and gropes a male model. Yawn.

Hilary’s always been quick to point out who’s a “good girl” and who’s bad to the bone — in case you were wondering, Miley and Hilary = good, Lindsay and Avril = bad.

So why the sudden change of heart do you think? Is she just tired of polishing that halo?

    Umm, anyone else no longer wonder what Jenna Jamieson used to look like? Holy Crap!

    (Ps- I’d still hit it)

  2. 2 Syd Oct 29th, 2008 at 1:22 pm

    OMG, I’m so ashamed of myself. (I kinda like it)

  3. 3 Jrod Oct 29th, 2008 at 1:34 pm

    Ok, I misspelled Jameson…sue me. Its not like I read the credits on her movies!

  4. 4 Holly Won't Oct 29th, 2008 at 1:48 pm

    Syd, I’m ashamed for you. It really is that bad. Go watch the part again where she’s up against the dirty mirror if you need more proof.

  5. 5 Lisa Oct 29th, 2008 at 1:56 pm

    To prove that Hillary is now a “bad” girl, she is playing with her food, and wearing clothing in a pool. Who directed this video?

  6. 6 Heather Oct 29th, 2008 at 2:07 pm

    The movie isn’t actually “upcoming”… it was released in July…

  7. 7 thatgengirl Oct 29th, 2008 at 2:13 pm

    Just because she’s a self-proclaimed “good girl” doesn’t mean she can’t be a sexual being. I was a sexy number at 18, but I was also a virgin until I was 21.

  8. 8 Holly Won't Oct 29th, 2008 at 2:15 pm

    Thanks for the correction, Heather, I assumed it was upcoming because I’d never heard of it. According to IMDb it went to a few festivals and then directly to Blockbuster.

  9. 9 StrawberryGirl Oct 29th, 2008 at 2:34 pm

    LOL, that was hilarious! What was with the still shots of the food on the table toward the end? Or the point of the people running around in their underwear?

    It’s obvious Duff isn’t comfortable at all. This was the bright idea of her agent or record label.

  10. 10 Psarah Oct 29th, 2008 at 2:36 pm

    Does anyone else think that she looks like the lesbian love-child of Britney Spears, Avril, and Gwen Stefani?

  11. 11 D---- Oct 29th, 2008 at 2:55 pm

    Isn’t this formula to success played out yet? Not everyone woman needs to be trampy to be successful in Hollywood.

  12. 12 P----- Oct 29th, 2008 at 3:20 pm

    I think she’s beautiful and her songs, though nothing that will ever alter the course of music history, are always fun to sing in the car.

    Also I don’t think she’s being trampy or vulgar, just age-appropriate sexy. I mean, she’s in her 20s now. Give the girl at break. It’s refreshing that she’s hardly ever in the press, either.

  13. 13 RockitQueen Oct 29th, 2008 at 3:38 pm

    Nobody has mentioned the fact that she blasphemed one of the best songs of the late ’80s. I’m thoroughly disgusted.

  14. 14 Holly Won't Oct 29th, 2008 at 3:41 pm

    Ha, “blaspheme.” Personal Jesus. Funny.

  15. 15 Toubrouk Oct 29th, 2008 at 4:50 pm

    This really looks like the remake of a 20 years-old Madonna video.

  16. 16 Hurricane Oct 29th, 2008 at 4:53 pm

    Can’t wait for her to balloon. She’s a big girl fighting a losing battle just like that AI chick Kelly something…Britney is another.

  17. 17 Pissed off!!! Oct 29th, 2008 at 5:49 pm

    What the hell is the matter with you? You must be a complete [redacted] [redacted] to say this is a sexy pop star fail. So what she murdered a good song, But if you don’t admit that she is hot, you are either a jealous ugly chick or a [redacted] sucking [redacted].

    [Wow dude, you kiss your mother with that keyboard? --Mgmt.]

  18. 18 Rocko Oct 29th, 2008 at 6:38 pm

    I like hip hop, I like DJs, I like samples, that said, this isn’t so much a sample as a rewrite. They just take the whole song and write new words over it like those Mohegan Sun commercials (http://www.youtube.com/user/mohegansunrecords, and I’m not getting compensated). This is typically the tactic taken with urban R&B in which case she really should’ve watched a Beyonce video or simply gotten herself some half naked backup dancers who do all the dancing while she merely does some posing. Terrible, terrible.

  19. 19 Pastafarian Oct 29th, 2008 at 7:12 pm

    “Its not like I read the credits on her movies!”

    There’s credits on porno movies? I didn’t know that since I only see 4 or 5 minutes of them.

  20. 20 LYTEUP Oct 29th, 2008 at 7:14 pm

    Hils over Avril any day, thanks, Holly.

  21. 21 Chameli Oct 29th, 2008 at 11:49 pm

    Is it just me, or is she looking a lot like Heidi Montag in a few of those shots?

  22. 22 Carlos Mal Oct 29th, 2008 at 11:59 pm

    Dida that mega-gangsta rapper just rhymed ‘fire’ with ‘desire’? Only Johnny Cash had the privilege of getting away with that travesty.

    Besides, the saddest thing about this song is that when kids listen to “Personal Jesus” they will say something like: “It’s just like that Hilary Duff song!”

  23. 23 Kelli Oct 30th, 2008 at 2:52 am

    She can’t stay young and sweet forever. She’s in her twenties so maybe she’s trying to branch out. I don’t like the fact that she’s ruined a good song.. Oh well…

  24. 24 Chronic Malanga Oct 30th, 2008 at 7:12 am

    She is as talented and compelling as a dial tone, and yes, she is falling short and being a bad little hypocrite in the process. She can go away too.

  25. 25 D Oct 30th, 2008 at 8:07 am

    Hahaha this is the most pretentious piece of crap I’ve seen in AGES. It’s like watching Mr. Ed doing a poor Madonna impersonation.

  26. 26 Anonymous Oct 30th, 2008 at 8:57 am

    Holly, that blaspheme comment would have been funnier if she’d covered Blashpemous Rumours. Or perhaps not :-p I just like that song better.

    I don’t know; she is 20 or 21. An adult. She was very careful not to betray an semblance of sexuality until she was 18, so I give her credit for that. The song sucks, though, she did ruin a perfectly good Depeche Mode song.

  27. 27 D---- Oct 30th, 2008 at 10:45 am

    I am not sure you can classify the way she moves in this video as being sexy. She is definitely trying but she looks akward and stiff.

  28. 28 Albatross Oct 30th, 2008 at 8:28 pm

    1. She ruined an awesome song.

    2. She is so not sexy.

    3. She’s doing a bad Madonna video impersonation.

    Verdict: FAIL.

  29. 29 Kurt Vile Oct 30th, 2008 at 9:52 pm

    Abso*#&$inglutely astonishing. There isn’t a single original note in that song. They took the old 12″ dub version and just sang over it – badly. One the one hand I’m happy because it means that Martin Gore gets probably 80% of the royalties from the song, but on the other hand I’m just sickened by the fact that this makes P. Diddly Daddy look like an inventive composer.

  30. 30 zayin_451 Oct 30th, 2008 at 10:13 pm

    So true. I’m glad there are so many Depeche Mode defenders out here. Martin Gore needs so much more credit than he gets for being one of the best song writers to come out of the ’80s and ’90s. And scrubbing the vocals and slapping new ones on is not giving credit. And I hate it when chicks hug my leg like that, so the video doesn’t even make it anymore worth while.

  31. 31 A.S Oct 30th, 2008 at 10:15 pm

    Dear Hilary Duff
    Please step the hell away from my Depeche Mode.
    Thank you

  32. 32 evilchic Oct 30th, 2008 at 11:09 pm

    she’s still just very girly looking. so the creepiness on pedo-appeal index is disturbing for the audio alone. then the visuals, particularly the shots where some just stands in front of her doing god only knows is just too icky and the fact she looks like paris hilton’s kid playing dress up in karl lagerfeld’s closet. the only thing missing was the night-vision.

  33. 33 cp Nov 1st, 2008 at 1:23 pm

    anyone else notice that the male(s) in the video could have been replaced by mannequins? they totally didn’t make a move or touch her – was that:

    (a) her trying to retain her “good girl image”;
    (b) to facilitate the gist of the song: her asking them to touch her; or
    (c) them REALLY not wanting to touch her?

    *puzzled*

  34. 34 Pastafarian Nov 2nd, 2008 at 2:20 pm

    I’ll guess the males in that video didn’t want to touch her for a reason you didn’t list.

  35. 35 HA! Nov 3rd, 2008 at 2:31 pm

    I think people are missing the point here…it’s not that anyone has a problem with her being “sexy”. It’s just that she fails, MISERABLY, to be sexy. This looks like a home video that was filmed all in one take. Everyone looks so posed and uncomfortable. It’s seriously bad!

  36. 36 Christina X Nov 4th, 2008 at 5:11 am

    You know, just when I thought “Oh well, at least Hilary’s Duff’s not writhing around half naked…”

    Jynx!

    And I think all the Disney freakshows need to find a new formula already. For as long as I can remember, every single pop star has attempted the “shocking” route convincing the general population that “SHE’S NOT A LITTLE GIRL ANYMORE!!!!1!!!!” to extoll the virtues of acting like a classless diva. And of course, as if the trashy over the top controversial behavior isn’t enough, I’m sure she has about 800 different upcoming interviews with Rolling Stone where she justifies her pathetic pseudo-rebellious behavior with some kind of some sob story about having some kind of epiphany that THE MAAAAN was keeping her down.

    Yeah, because the media and MTV will shun you for “keepin’ it real” (AKA flashing your tits). You’re really risking your record sales!

    Really, isn’t the purpose to shock people when you disappear for a year and people finally stop paying attention to you? Well, when the same exact mechanisms are regurgitated over, and over, AND OVER, it becomes predictable, and hence NO LONGER SHOCKING.

    What’s next? An eating disorder? Oh wait– no. Daddy issues? No, wait. She was teased in school!

  37. 37 Christina X Nov 4th, 2008 at 5:17 am

    …After watching the video, it wasn’t that perverted, but I’m sure she’s on her way to skankville after 2 or 3 more music videos.

    Like I said, predictable.

  38. 38 Jrod Nov 4th, 2008 at 3:32 pm

    I can’t wait for Skankville!

  39. 39 Mary Nov 5th, 2008 at 9:42 pm

    Why, for the love of god WHY?!

    Hillary Duff (badly) ripping off Depeche mode?

    What is the world coming to?!

    Did this win on AFV? ‘Cause she seriously could have walked away with, like, $5K or something. Girl needs to be sockin’ away the duckies, ’cause it’s not like her career (hee, “career”) is built to last.
