Blender Magazine has placed Hilary Duff at #10 on their list of the top 25 “Wussiest Rock Acts Ever.” The magazine describes Duff as "a sex and drug-free sprite best summed up by the name of her next movie character: Sunshine Goodness."
Other acts ranking high on the list include Babyface, Rascal Flatts, Kenny G, Boyz II Men, and Nick Lachey, with James Taylor being named the wussiest.
This list, along with the "Top 16 Wussiest Songs Ever" will be featured in the August 2006 issue of Blender, which hits newsstands on Tuesday, July 18. Hilary Duff was featured on the cover of the October 2004 issue of Blender.

Album Review - Cheyenne Kimball - The Day Has Come
There are a lot of similarities between Cheyenne Kimball and Hilary Duff. They both launched their music careers after being on TV shows. They were about the same age when they recorded their debut albums. They were both born in Texas but moved to California to pursue their careers. They both are pretty girls with blond hair, and they both make the same kind of music.
I was expecting "The Day Has Come" to sound a lot like a Hilary Duff album, and it pretty much does. Sweet bubble gum songs, with a rock edge to them. I would say Hilary is more rock while Cheyenne is more pop, but I don't know if others would agree with that. Cheyenne is a pretty good singer, and she writes all of her songs also, which is a plus. Definitely a better pure singer than Hilary, Cheyenne's voice reminds me a lot of Skye Sweetnam, whom I like a lot.
The songs themselves are all polished and upbeat, but aside from the standout single "Hanging On" I really didn't love any one song on the album. The title track "The Day Has Come" is pretty catchy, but other than that most of the songs sounded pretty much the same to me on the first listen. I'm not saying they are bad songs, but I don't see another breakout hit from this album like "Hanging On".
Overall, if you like this type of music you probably won't be disappointed by "The Day Has Come", but you might not be blown away by it either.

In this week's In Touch Weekly compares Hilary with light and dark hair, and determines that the dark hair looks better on her. I think I would have to agree.

Stars Are Blind - Paris Hilton Getting Radio Airplay
Although she isn't really considered a singer by most people, Paris Hilton has found herself with a minor hit with the song "Stars are Blind". The song is #21 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, and is working it's way toward the top ten.
Hilton's success might give hope to Hilary Duff, who despite having two #1 albums and selling an estimated 10 million CD's worldwide, has never had a song get mainstream radio airplay.
