Actress turned author talks about new book release

Hilary Duff appeared on last night’s showing of Jimmy Kimmel Live to talk about the release of her latest book, “Elixir”. Duff, 23, is best known for being Disney’s “Lizzie McGuire” several years ago who recently became a hockey wife. Duff struts out from back stage looking radiant in her little black dress.

Kimmel starts the interview by flipping through the last several pages of Duff’s book and reads a provocative excerpt. Duff says, “It’s a novel for young adults—its about a young girl making her way through life as a photojournalist.”

Duff explained to the audience how she turned from actress to fashion designer, and finally becoming an author. She decided to write a novel because of her “urge” to tell a story from several ideas she had. After meeting a handful of the right people her stories came to life.

Duff, who has been traveling around the nation to promote her book talks about some of the odd things she has witnessed during signings.

“One kid tattooed his arm with my signature,” Duff says. “That was my first body part. He will be absolutely mortified once he’s forty.”

Duff’s husband, Mike Comrie of the Pittsburgh Penguins was not able to join his wife on the show. She says he’s in Pittsburgh until April for the season and has to visit him most of the time. Duff’s wedding ring flashes towards Kimmel’s way.

“That’s the largest ring I’ve ever seen!” Kimmel calls out. “It’s almost bigger than a puck!”

Duff talks about marriage life and says how she and her husband are the most competitive couple. “We both just want to win when it comes to competition,” says Duff. This is in reference to the photo of the married couple go-carting during their honeymoon trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Kimmel ends the interview promoting Duff’s book which is out in stores now.
