Hilary Duff will not perform at 2007 Houston Rodeo

The lineup for the 75th Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo was announced today - and Hilary Duff is not on it. Hilary was one of the most popular acts at RodeoHouston the past two years. In 2005 she set an all time Rodeo attendance record of 72843. She followed up that performance with another sold out show in 2006 that 69716 people attended. However, despite her attendance marks Hilary's presence at the Rodeo was not without controversy. Several animal rights activists scolded Hilary for performing at the rodeo, claming that the rodeo is cruel to animals. It is unclear if Hilary's decision to not perform at the 2007 rodeo was influenced by these people.

Acts that will be performing at the rodeo this year include:

George Strait
Los Lonely Boys
Reba McEntire
Natalie Cole and Kem
Clay Walker
the Cheetah Girls and Hannah Montana
Josh Turner
Gretchen Wilson
Sheryl Crow
Alan Jackson
Pat Green
Martina McBride
Pesado and Emilio
Sugarland
Toby Keith
Beyonce
Dierks Bentley
Brooks & Dunn
ZZ Top
