 Hilary Duff: Lip-Synching reports
The Most Wanted singer Hilary Duff, is adamantly denying rumors she wasn't all there during a stop on her 2008 Dignity tour in Monterrey, Mexico, this weekend, after footage of the concert, in which she appears to be mouthing words into a microphone, made the Internet rounds.
"She was not lip-synching," Hilary Duff's rep said in a statement confirmed by E! News. "It was faulty equipment. There was no sound coming out, but she was singing."
According to Hilary’s people - who have spoken to Hilary Duff and members of her tour staff about the blunder, the alleged incident was far from an Ashlee Simpson moment - where Hilary Duff was caught lip-syncing on Saturday Night Live in 2004. Duff was relying on local sound equipment rather than her usual equipment, and her microphone was inadvertently set to mute for the first few seconds of her performance, according to People.com.
The Cinderella Story star, Hilary Duff, does her own singing in concert, her publicist said.
The 20-year-old former Disney Channel star is slated to return to the big screen this year in the coming-of-age drama Greta, costarring Ellen Burstyn and Evan Ross, in which she plays a headstrong waitress whose family doesn't condone her interracial romance. Duff has also lent her voice to the self-explanatory animated tale Foodfight!, also due in theaters this year.
The star’s “Dignity” tour is scheduled to continue in Mexico before moving to Brazil and Australia in the coming weeks. |
