| Hilary Duff |
SpotlightThe assumption seems to be that if you are a famous actor or singer, you must smell good. Stars to come out with new scents include J Lo, Celine Dion, P. Diddy and Usher. Hilary Duff joined the ranks of perfume vendors with her fragrance, With Love... Hilary Duff. The actress/singer, who turns 20 today, also has a fashion line, stuff by hilary duff. Duff came to fame when she played Lizzie McGuire in the eponymous Disney series and film; she simultaneously launched a recording career, with her first album, Metamorphosis, hitting No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
