Hot on the heels of a recent network television gig, actress/pop star Hilary Duff may be starring in a remake of the story of Bonnie and Clyde. Duff would (obviously) play Bonnie to Kevin Zegers Clyde in a retelling of the tale of the infamous 1930s bank robbers. Depression-era lovers Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were outlaws who captivated the public and their story has been featured on the big screen multiple times, most notably in the classic 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.

The Story of Bonnie and Clyde will be directed by Tonya S. Holly, who most recently wrote, produced and directed When I Find the Ocean, a family-friendly film starring Dianne Ladd, Graham Greene and Lee Majors. The Story of Bonnie and Clyde is schedule to shoot in the southern states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama and will be produced with Tom Rogers via Holly s Cypress Moon Studios. After stumbling upon old newspaper articles about the fugitive couple, Holly became interested in the project but told http://Billboard.com that the film is not a mere remake. Instead, The Story of Bonnie and Clyde will focus on aspects of the lovers lives not yet showcased on the big screen.

Although Hilary Duff has made several film appearances over the years, she got her start playing the title role in the Disney television series Lizzie McGuire. The show made its small screen debut in 2001 and Duff instantly charmed audiences. Lizzie McGuire also allowed Duff to pursue her other passion, singing, when she performed Santa Claus Lane and soon released her own holiday-themed album also titled Santa Claus Lane. The series stopped taping in 2003, settling into syndication, and Duff began to take on mature roles such as in the teen spy movie Agent Cody Banks before reprising her role as Lizzie in The Lizzie McGuire Movie, for which she lent two songs, I Can t Wait and Why Not, to the soundtrack.

In 2003 Hilary Duff released her proper debut album, the aptly titled Metamorphosis, which landed at number two on the Billboard charts on the strength of hit single So Yesterday. After appearing in the high-profile film Cheaper By the Dozen, Duff issued her eponymous sophomore album in 2004, debuting an edgier sound reminiscent of emerging stars at the time like Ashlee Simpson and Avril Lavigne. Duff took on more film roles, such as in A Cinderella Story and Raise Your Voice, as her album climbed the charts to number two. The actress and pop singer went on tour in support of Hillary Duff, appeared in the films The Perfect Man and Most Wanted before issuing the hit single Wake Up, written by Good Charlotte s Benji and Joel Madden (who was Duff s beau at the time).

In 2006 Duff chronicled her break up with Madden on her latest album Dignity and snagged leading roles in the movies War Inc. and Material Girls. Although in recent months Duff has been concentrating no acting, with a new Fox sitcom titled Barely Legal in the works, she is sure to try on her pop star persona in the near future.

Andrew John..

Stress is a part of our everyday life, no matter what, when and how we are doing. It affects every person in different way, depending on personality of the victim, the level of the stress, time of exposition to it or even reaction of the surroundings. Some of us are able to deal with even high doses of stress without any problem, for them stressful situation is not an complication but rather a driving force. There are also people who keep away from them not only stress but also other things and emotions, thinking that it will keep them from going crazy. Sadly, many people are unable to get rid of stress, loose control very fast and become its victims. Still, there are so many ways to get rid of the stress that everyone can find the one that fits him.

Still, the most important thing is to learn how to deal with such difficulties without worrying too much. When you worry – even a little – it is sure that the stress will find a way to your mind and body and then the situation you are facing will complicate even more.Although we all want to live stress-free life, sometimes we can’t avoid it. Still, high levels of continuous stress can be disastrous to ourselves and end in depression, health risks, craziness and hospitalization. This is why it is necessary to learn how to reduce the amount of stress we are exposed to as long as we want to be happy and healthy people.

When we don’t have a negative attitude to our lives and we do not worry about too many things at the same time, we are much more resistant to stress and thus can live better life.Some of us tend to solve their problems alone. Still, in case of the stress they should rather change their habits and accept every help they can get. Speaking with a friend about the situation is far better that being worried alone. What’s more, when you will reject help and thus lose your friends, the only effect will be higher dose of stress.When you are stressed and you don’t do anything with that, you can be sure that your problems won’t be solved all by themsleves. Stress which overcomes you can affect both your body and mind and change your life for worse. It starts from innocent-looking symptoms like sweating, headaches, or mood swings but can end in severe health problems, loosing of your friends, ruining your marriage, depression or even suicidal thoughts and hospitalization, sometimes even against your will. The only way to avoiding falling into this vicious circle is to act as fast as possible. Positive thinking,a bit of self-control and knowledge about the stress, its causes and symptoms can make your life much better.
