Hilary Duff: Defends hockey player beau

Hilary Duff stands by her man. According to her, she defends her boyfriend, New York Islander Mike Comrie, against the "intense fans" of his games.

Hilary said, "I like to sit in the audience, you know I don't sit up in a box or anything, and people started to know that I'm sitting there, and they'll be like 'Mike sucks!' Or [they] try to rile me up," Duff told Rachael Ray on the set of her talk show. "And I'm like, 'Hey, watch it! I'll come up there, you know.'"

She added: "I try to not be that crazy girlfriend."

Although she says hockey spectators are rough on one another, she admitted that she is starting to get into the sport.

"The first couple of games I went to, I'm like, 'These people are nuts'". "They are, like, so into it. And then, I got really into it once I started learning about the game." She said this to the reporters of a popular newspaper of United States.
