Announcement

Rachel leaves on the 27th.

In conjunction with Hilary's 20th birthday, I'll be blogging about her life and times beginning on the 27th of September (to make way for Rachels farewell post). Each post will have 'Hilarys Celebrations Part X' on them so you'll know the order.

The first post will be on her acting career. The second on her music. The third on her business and future projects. The fourth on her boyfriends, and the fifth on her birthday, will be a picture post, her rise to fame and my wishes :).



But to kick things off, heres the story of her early birthday present gifted to her from her boyfriend.

He gave it to her on the 20th, and it retails in Malaysia for RM1million.


Hilary Duff’s expectations were low when Mike Comrie called recently to say he’d picked out an early 20th birthday present (her birthday is not until the 28th) for her and said that he hoped she’d like them.

“Okay, it’s shoes or something,” Duff recalled thinking as she went to her sister’s house, where Comrie had said he left the present in the garage. “I opened the garage, and I was just like shocked, just standing there.”

Before her, with a big red bow on top, was a Mercedes-Benz G-class SUV (retail price: more than $100,000).

Duff, whose birthday is next week, told PEOPLE at the Chanel and P.S. Arts Party at Chanel in Beverly Hills on Thursday that she had unwittingly put the idea for a new car in his head. Comrie, who plays for the New York Islanders, didn’t know what to get her: then one day he heard her talking about her transportation needs.

“I was planning on getting a big car and I drive a big car anyway, and I was just like, ‘You know maybe I like the G-Wagen,’ and then I was like, ‘No, maybe I like the [Porsche] Cayenne,’ ” says Duff, whose manager steered her away from the Porsche, reminding her that she was a “terrible driver” and “didn’t need that kind of power.”

“I’ve driven it tons,” Duff said of her birthday present. “When I called him I was like, ‘You’re crazy! It’s perfect!’ ”

So will the next present fit on her wedding finger?

“The rock?!” Duff said. “No, stop it!”
