Hilary Duff has a very impressive resume. The mom-to-be is a TV star, movie star and a best-selling author. So with today's release of "Devoted," the follow-up to her debut novel, "Elixir," can we expect her novels to be turned into a movie? If it’s up to Hilary, the answer is yes!
"I would love to. I mean, it’s a huge dream of mine, and just from my past and where I came from I’m used to working on movies and reading scripts and that’s just where my head goes instantly when I’m writing," Hilary said. "I made this book very visual, the dream sequences and the flash backs are very romantic. I could just see doing really cool things to the film with wardrobe and all this stuff that my mind goes to. I think it’d be really cool, but I have a lot going on. There have been a few people interested in buying the rights which is very flattering, but if the right person came along, I’d definitely hope that would happen."

Ever since she deadpanned that line about her cat reading her diary, we've been crazy in love with "Glee"'s Heather Morris—a fab comic actress and probably the brightest dim bulb on television. But even though she's best known for playing a character who's not the sharpest tool in the shed, Heather the real-life lady is an articulate and down-to-earth sort of girl.
...Albeit an articulate and down-to-earth girl with a real, highly developed capacity for shenanigans; after all, she is posing in the November issue of Seventeen magazine wearing fuzzy knickers and a pair of pandas on her feet.
But when it comes to her interview, Heather's not afraid to show her serious side—and between posing for fun photos, she also shares the ways that a personal tragedy shaped her life.

Viva Las Vegas! Finally, after weeks of impersonating Emma, Sutton got a real taste of what her twin's life was like in Nevada...bohemian buds, neglectful foster mothers and high-stakes poker, all included!
As you'll recall from last week "Lying Game," Emma's BFF Lexie picked Sutton up outside of juvie, and seeing as she had no place else to go, was offered a crash pad at Lexie's. It wasn't long, however, until crazy Clarice tracked her down, and told her off for ruining her foster-parent racket (she clearly wasn't in it for the love of the kids). But this being strong-willed Sutton and not amiable Emma, Sutton threw the accusations back in her face, leaving Clarice dumbfounded (and me cheering!).
Sutton continued to make waves in Emma's life when she headed to her high school, sparking a flirtation with a very cute boy named Calvin. He even invited Sutton and Clarice to a casino night at his dad's hotel. More on that to come.

Hilary Duff is a very busy mom-to-be! In between getting ready for a baby, Hilary has somehow found the time to write the follow-up to her best selling debut novel, "Elixir." The second book in her trilogy, "Devoted," hits book stores tomorrow, and the Duffster promises just as much adventure, mystery and drama.
"'Devoted' picks up basically where 'Elixir' left off, and Clea has a lot of big questions to answer and decisions to make," Hilary told us. "Clearly Sage and her got separated [he was kidnapped in 'Elixir'], and it didn’t end ideally for them, so she’s having a hard time."

Let's here it for the girl! That girl being "Footloose" star Julianne Hough, of course. This week, the former "Dancing With the Stars" pro hits the big screen alongside cutie Kenny Wormald as high-stepping preacher's daughter, Ariel. With plenty of buzz building for the dance redo, we're naming Julianne Hough this week's Girl Crush!
As is our custom, in return for being named our Girl Crush, we asked Julianne to spill which leading lady she looks up to in the biz. And we bet plenty of people would agree with the 23-year-old's pick.

Let's face it, one of the major reasons we like to watch movies is because more often than not the leading men lighting up the silver screen are very pleasing to the eye. One might even use the term "smoking hot." And what better way to welcome the season's new crop of films than with a superficial list of the five faces we're most looking forward to seeing on the big screen in the coming weeks.
In the order of their films' release dates, we present: Five Film Hotties For Fall
Hottie On The Dance Floor: Kenny Wormald
For my money, there is nothing hotter than a man who can dance. And I'm not talking about grinding at the club, I'm talking about a master of choreography and a variety of different genres. If you haven't seen Kenny Wormald's moves yet, do yourself a favor and go see him burn-up the dance floor and melt your heart in "Footloose" when it opens this Friday.
