Hilary Duff Returns To Television….As A Lawyer!

In what's being touted as a "legal version of Doogie Howser, M.D.," Hilary Duff will star in a new sitcom as a young attorney fresh out of law school.
The new show is part of the Duffster's development deal with NBC.
Based on the true story of Kathleen Holtz - who, at 18, became the youngest person to pass the notoriously difficult bar exam - Barely Legal will be Duff's comedic return to television.
Sounds a little gimmicky, but good luck, Hil!

Re: Milky Milky – yeah that might be the most interesting first comment.
Gee…she was so anxious to leave Disney, I thought she would be winning Oscars and Golden Globes by now.
Not so easy, is it Hilary?
.
Current Disney stars, take note.
Legally Blonde rip-off!
8….who do we love to hate? PEREZ, PEREZ, PEREZ!!!!
Can't wait…
Anything for money?
Re: Milky Milky – LOL!!!! We are drinking TANG at home from now on!!!
please, god, NO.
I'm sure she wont be any more damaging to the "reputation" of the legal fraternity than Calista Flockhart and her Ally McBeal days were.
I OBJECT!
Sounds like legally blonde for tv
Re: Milky Milky – You are a legend mate LMAO.
Hope you're hanging around - I have to duck out for an hour or so - meeting with suppliers to make sure the bastards dont screw us on costs this year. LOL
Stay beautiful. Mooooooooooooo
OH, FUCK YES! I hope she's a naughty lawyer!
omiGod i thoughtthat littl eboy in the pic behing her was Maddox but no Maddox is much cuter
I have to problems with Hillary Duff. That doesn't mean I'll watch the show…

I'm so excited.
Re: harrybalsac – hahahappy harry!
So nice to be defended by a 12 year old.
vomit.
bummer
I'll give it a chance I suppose.
Re: Milky Milky – Fag would pimp his mom for a $ or two, shit we already saw the shopping cart he got her to go dumpster dive for cans! Now watch your back, I don't want to end up as a MJ steak!
Re: Milky Milky – niiiice run……….fuck tropicana………….and don't go throwing a censor on the word juice maario……………….fuck chickdowntown too!!!…..even if i'm ever in the market for turquoise bejeweled fuck me pumps…….fuck em
Lame. Didn't they make a movie like this? Legally Blonde 1/2?
Duff is lookin' a little rough these days!
I hate her acting - she sounds the same no matter what role she's playing.
She should just retire or go away or something… better to die a legend than be a hasbeen and she never really got super famous when she had the chance. I don't know, I think it's too late now.
Wow…I smell a cancellation…..
Re: Mistress – g'day beauty
I'm so sick of seeing Tropicana ads, perez became a real ass kisser lately!
Re: gorgeousdoll – yeah she become soo boring
Isnt she the prettiest thing??
good luck hil!
hopefully it will work!
Re: harrybalsac – .i.
is that a jolie-pitt kid in the pic behind her?
I'll watch it, if not for anything else, just because she's hot and legal.
BORING why can't they put real actors on television instead of some obvious celebrity who just wants to be famouse 24/7 GIVE ME SOMETHING EXCITING!! USA NETWORK is beating all your asses. PSYCH rocks!!
Sounds STUPIDD
Re: mamajud – HAHAHA!! about chickdowntown….dyk the brick and mortar store is in PITTSBURGH? YEP!!
Television is like perogotory for actors when they're movie careers flop.
she messed up such a pretty face with that filler injected shit. fucking 21 years old. what a shame.
I just can't see her being an "lawyer"
what a joke!
Re: Milky Milky – MILKY, HAVE I PROFESSED MY LOVE FOR YOU! YOUR COMMENTS ARE HILARIOUS! JUST FOR YOU, I WILL BOYCOTT TROPICANA…….
Sounds interesting. I'll give it a chance and not pass negative or overly positive judgement till I've seen a good few episodes. You can't really base an entire series off the pilot…
for some reason I don't think she's very believable as a fresh out of law school type…more like beauty school drop out. casting choice sucks!
That's great! I will definitely check it out. I'm so glad Hilary is getting back to working in television…if only she had a record deal too!
Haha…um, yeah:
An 18 year old as a reputable lawyer and on top of that, Hilary Duff as that lawyer?
Totally believable. Sounds like a winner. ( sarcasm)
please die
I honestly cant wait… i think it will be great. Hilary has done alot of growing over the past few years and I ahighly anticipate here return to sitcom television. go luck!
i will definitely check my local listings!
her acting makes me gag..
I think she'd do a great job!
She's a total hasbeen.
Hilary Who?
Oh I'll probably end up watching a few episodes. She's cute enough and at least she isn't a crazy coke whore like the rest of young hollywood. She actually seems to have a head on her shoulders and it can't be worse than the rest of the shit on tv.
It sounds like it will be cute! She sure is! Good luck, Hilary!
Who let her out in those horrendous extensions?
Harry, I hope you have a brand new jar of Jergens and a towel while viewing Ms. Duff.
PLAYED OUT.
A few years back, "Just Legal" was a tv show about the youngest boy to pass the bar and be an attorney….it lasted three episodes before it was canned.
Learn from history, people!
Finally! I was wondering if she would ever be acting again. Although her playing a lawyer is strange, its a comedy, and she did well in Lizzie McGuire, which was sort of comedy? So who knows, she may be the perfect person to play Kathleen Holtz's role in Barely Legal. Lets see. =)
Yummy, I'd love to give her my Pro BONO..
Um… this sounds odly like the show Just Legal that totally bombed! I hope that doesnt happen to Hilary
i give it 5 episodes.
Im weary of how well this will turn out, but it would be interesting to watch an episode or two. Very curious.
it doesn't sound like a bad plot. i mean, tv's pretty much crap these days anyways, this show really can't hurt. besides…hil isn't too bad, either. not like the rest of the disney brigade.
I love how her expression is the same as that asian kid's behind her.
I luv Hil, and wish her the best of luck!
