Hilary Duff that is. My 11 year old daughter pointed out to me that Hilary has managed to stay sober, unarrested and drug free. Quite a feat by today's standards for young celebrities. Since the MSM is obsessed with young female celebrities who can't behave normally, I thought I'd give Hilary a little recognition. I found this nice little article.

To date, Duff is one of scant few members of Hollywood's new guard who have yet to be arrested, shipped off to rehab, or caught flashing their lady parts to paparazzi while clumsily exiting a limo.

Instead, she has made a pretty smooth transition from teen-TV fare like Lizzie Maguire to popular big-screen projects like A Cinderella Story and the Cheaper by the Dozen franchise. Along the way, she's released six CDs, and while critics haven't always been kind to her fluffy brand of pop, the Dignity disc -- awash in electro-clash stylings and heavily autobiographical lyrics -- has been met with pretty positive reviews.

I remember Hilary as the cute, refreshing young teen in the Disney Lizzie Maguire show. Thanks, Hilary, for being a positive role model to which my daughter can aspire.

And, thanks to my daughter for being smart enough and observant enough to realize that there is at least one young female celebrity out there worth admiring.
