Hilary said: "It's not my job to talk about my relationship. But the more you try to keep it quiet, the more people want to know about it."The 19-year-old actress and singer dated Joel from 2004 until November 2006. Hilary - who shot to fame as the star of hit US TV show 'Lizzie McGuire' -also spoke of the pressure she feels to be thin since she became famous. Hilary said although she has never had a problem with her weight, she feels people can be "judgmental and mean".

NICOLE RICHIE COULD GO TO JAIL

Nicole Richie was charged Friday with misdemeanor driving under the influence. In addition to the single count, the case contains an allegation that Richie had a prior misdemeanor DUI conviction in June 2003, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office said. The California vehicle code specifies that if convicted of DUI twice within 10 years, a person can be sentenced to between 90 days and a year in jail, fined between $390 and $1,000, and have driving privileges suspended. The complaint alleges Richie was under the influence of an alcoholic beverage and an unspecified drug when she was arrested Dec. 11, said prosecution spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons. Arraignment was scheduled for Feb. 21 in suburban Glendale Superior Court. Richie, who starred in the TV reality show "The Simple Life" with Paris Hilton, does not have to appear because it is a misdemeanor case. Telephone messages seeking comment from Richie's publicist Nicole Perna were not immediately returned. Richie, 25, was arrested Dec. 11 after 911 callers reported her car headed the wrong way on a freeway in Burbank about 12:30 a.m. She was found alone in her SUV, stopped in a car-pool lane.
Richie was arrested after she failed a field sobriety test, according to the California Highway Patrol.

NICOLE RICHIE HIRES SHAMAN TO RID HER OF BAD LUCK CURSE

Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie has reportedly hired the services of a shaman to help rid her of the bad luck curse she fears hangs over her. The socialite has told friends she's convinced all her 2006 troubles, which culminated with a pre-Christmas driving under the influence arrest, came about after someone in her social circle "hexed" her. Determined to break the purported spell, Richie had a witch doctor perform a $1,000 spiritual cleansing of her West Hollywood apartment on December 15, according to Life & Style magazine. An insider tells the publication a shaman chanted, danced and burned sage in every room of the star's home for two hours. The pal says, "She's very superstitious and believes in this stuff. It's a very personal thing for Nicole. "Nicole believes in curses but would never put one on anyone, not even her worst enemy."Richie's run of bad luck in 2006 includes her split from fiance Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein, a rumored eating disorder that landed her in a treatment center desperate to gain weight, and the horror of learning her beloved cat had broken its leg after plunging 10 floors from the balcony of her apartment.

I think Paris or Britney put this curse on you !
