Hillary Duff weighs in on her feelings towards Lizzie McGuire revival cancelation
Hillary Duff has just answered one question fans have been dying to get answers to after Lizzie McGuire was rebooted.
The whole conversation happened while the 38-year-old was sitting on the Jake Shane‘s podcast Therapuss and featured one of the most asked takes, i.e. whether McGuire would end up with Adam Lamberg‘s character Gordo.
According to Duff herself, “I think that there was just disagreements on how far we could take [Lizzie] and where she is, as you know, she would have been when we were filming that 30 or 31.”
“And for me, I was that age and so I just also felt so deeply connected to her as a character because we were the same. And I was like, oh, man, we can’t Mary Tyler Moore her that’s not, I don’t know, it was 2023. You know what I mean?”
“There’s social media and we weren’t I wasn’t trying to have her wake up and do bong rips or anything, but she was a normal 30-year-old, you know? So, there was some things I think they just weren’t like, totally willing to go there.”
The last McGuire release prior to this was in 2003 when the series wrapped up her story via The Lizzie McGuire Movie, and featured her kissing Gordo.
However, the actor does not think they would have ended up together because “I don’t think they had a thing post. I think they had maybe an almost thing post. I know, again, another swing at it that didn’t. But I think that there was a thing with someone else that was just very quick.”
“In my mind, I like to think she had a thing with Ethan Craft finally,” the star concluded by saying.
For those unversed, Craft was Lizzie’s middle school crush played by Clayton Snyder.

Meghan Markle’s £14 bookmark breaks the internet
The Duchess of Sussex’s latest literary accessory vanished from virtual shelves in under 24 hours, marking the second time in a month that one of her bookmarks has flown out of stock.
Under her lifestyle label As Ever, Meghan introduced a fresh design stamped with the words “Hold that thought,” priced at £14.83 and fans did just that before clicking “buy.”
The slim page-holder arrived alongside curated bundles themed around slow afternoons and cosy evenings.
While the standalone piece is gone for now, shoppers can still snap it up as part of gift sets ranging from £35.60 to £129.05.
The speedy sell-out follows January’s debut design, which carried the handwritten phrase “fell asleep here” and was crafted in partnership with a female-led workshop in the New Forest.
That first drop also disappeared quickly though once deliveries landed, not everyone was impressed.
Social media critics wasted no time dissecting the product, with some questioning its quality after a video circulated appearing to show it slipping from a page.
Supporters praised the UK craftsmanship and snapped up the new release without hesitation, applauding the duchess’s flair for turning a simple reading tool into a talking point.

‘I’m hanging on by a thread’
Bijou Phillips is facing one of the toughest battles of her life.
In a rare and emotional interview, the 45-year-old model and actress revealed she is “hanging on by a thread” as her urgent search for a kidney donor continues.
Phillips, who is currently undergoing dialysis at UCLA Health’s CORE Kidney program, admitted she has been waiting for a transplant for over a year.
“I’ve needed a transplant for a year. I’m sort of hanging on by a thread,” she told Us Weekly.
Born with underdeveloped kidneys, Phillips previously received a life-saving transplant from a friend in 2017.
But nearly a decade later, that kidney is failing.
“The medication you take when you’re transplanted is very toxic to the kidneys,” she explained.
“So when you get a transplant — heart or liver or kidney — within a decade, you’re probably going to need a kidney transplant.”
The Almost Famous star acknowledged the precariousness of her situation. “I could make it on dialysis for a couple of years, or I could get an infection in my line tomorrow and be gone in a few days,” she said.
“I’m really hopeful, [but] it’s an extremely urgent situation.”
Beyond her own health, Phillips says her fight is fueled by her devotion to her 12-year-old daughter, Fianna, whom she shares with ex-husband Danny Masterson.
“Now I’m a single mom, and things are different,” she said. “I want to be here for her, and I have to be here for her. The fight is back. I’m it. I’m all she’s got.”

And now he has told how Jackie is the woman behind his success.
Alongside a snap of the beauty, he penned: ‘I don’t think anybody understands how much Jackie does for us.
‘Throughout these last few years Jackie has connected the band, connected teams, constantly making sure s**t gets done, none of this would be happening without her.
‘Just a little appreciation post for the fifth member of the breakers. She is the driving force of the band. She has gone overboard with making sure content all of you see is the best of the best.
‘Jackie we are forever grateful for you and I hope you know, we appreciate you more than you can imagine.’
The couple have been together since 2024, after they were first spotted together at Glastonbury.
