The Picture Of Hilary Duff
Hilary Duff has been cast as Bonnie in a remake of Bonnie and Clyde? Woof. Where is Jaden Smith to crane kick some sense into Hollywood? But something good has come out of it. Now she is in a feud with Faye Dunaway! Incredible! So many feuds today! From the Huffington Post:
Dunaway, 68, who starred with Warren Beatty in the 1967 original, was quoted in the Chicago Sun-Times January 28th as having said, "Couldn't they at least cast a real actress?"
Ouch! Dunaway, of course, is a legendary actress, and the star of such films as Midnight CrossZING, The TowerZING Inferno, and Little Big Zing! Did you know she also did a cameo on CZI? Crime Zing Investigashzing?
But Hilary Duff fires back:
Uh oh. I think the enchanted portrait Hilary Duff keeps locked away in her Malibu attic just got another hideous scar across its forehead. It is by transferring her true ugliness to a magical painting that she will continue to look mildly attractive but not so much from as close as 20 feet away for the next few years.
Seriously, though, careful Hilary Duff. You should be so lucky as to look as good as Faye Dunaway when you are her age. At least in that case you'd have something to help you cope with the fact that no one's going to remember who the fuck you are.

Wow. Another completely unnecessary, horribly miscast and utterly doomed remake. This makes me want to stab Hollywood in the throat.
Score = 8
so bad. don't people like Hilary Duff pay a staff of people a lot of money to prevent them from saying something so misguided and fucking stupid?
Score = 11
oh shit, i'm here to defend hilary duff:
a) what dunaway said WAS completely catty and unnecessary (she should've just said "our film was fantastic, why in the hell would anyone ever want to remake it")
b) dunaway has had some of the worst plastic surgery in history
c) duff more than held her own in War, Inc. (although her accent was a bit dodgy)
there, i did it. i defended hilary fucking duff.
Score = -9
NOPE.
Score = 8
War, Inc?? Yes, she certainly was skilled at putting a scorpion down her pants for the purposes of seducing John Cusack.
Score = 2
isn't that really what acting is..? in essence..?
Score = 4
I think what Hilary was really saying when she said "I think my fans don't even know who she is" was "I don't even know who that is." Plus, come on Hilary Duff, you must know you're the Worst, when your greatest achievements in film after, what, eightish years have been "Cadet Kelly" and "Material Girls."
Anyway, the tactful thing to say WOULD HAVE BEEN, "I hope I can prove her wrong." Sell your Malibu house and go buy some grace!
Score = 16
as interesting as actors are, the beauty of Bonnie and Clyde is that any pretty guy and girl could have played Bonnie and Clyde. The film was amazing because of the filmmaker not the cast. they were good but not irreplaceable (looking at you christian bale).
Score = 4
this is so RONG on so many levels
Score = 0
Faye Dunaway should beat her with a wire hanger for this. She's Faye fucking Dunaway. You're Hilary Duff. Fin.
Score = 13
All Hilary really had to say was "oh, you mean a 'real actress' like the contestants on The Starlet?"
Score = 1
I have two words for Fay Dunaway: Cinderella Story!
I have two words for Hillary Duff: Cinderella Story... :-(
Score = 1
I love how Duff insulted Dunaway with the Worst Thing in the World According to Starlets: not being famous.
Score = 2
mmmboring...
Score = -4
Too bad her fans won't actually see it because they don't know who Bonnie or Clyde were.
Also the six of them have an average age of 14 (6 ten-year-olds, one creepy 30-something)
Score = 3
HAS NO ONE EVEN STOPPED TO THINK ABOUT THE CHOICE OF THE DUFFSTER BEING THE TRANSFER FROM ONE HORSE'S MOUTH TO THE OTHER?! it's all in the teeth, dudes
Score = -3
i feel like it was a draw.
faye dunaway, that was an unnecessarily harsh thing to say about a fellow "actress," though i think we can all agree that hil. duf. has given us precious little to defend her with. her imdb page is basically the homepage for whyamistillfamous.com. i can understand being pissed that your iconic film is being remade by such a lightweight. also, you were prettier in that movie that hilary duff with ever be, though less so now.
hilary duff, you faye dunaway good because it's true that your fan(s?) probably don't know who faye dunaway is, and faye hasn't done anything cool since 'barfly.' it's true that faye dunaway had some seriously misguided plastic surgery. but she does also deserve a measure more respect that you're giving her because she was hot shit for longer than you've been alive. also fans? really, hil duf? you might be overstating your popularity a bit...
so, i declare a draw.
Score = 4
Irresponsible and inaccurate paraphrasing of what duff said in the interest of making a point: "most of my fans social and cultural perspective are such that they aren't aware of an actress as important as faye dunaway, and are therefore not uniquely aware of network, chinatown, mommie dearest, barfly, the arrangement or the movie i am actually in the remake of: the original bonnie and clyde. and are therefore fucking idiots" i can't believe duff actually sort-of-said that about her fans..
also, dunaway is almost 70. i think the sustained vanity of the multiple plastic surgeries is a little creepy, but duff isn't criticizing the vanity behind those surgeries, she's merely criticizing that faye dunaway hasn't done a better job with said vanity! what a depressingly self-reflective criticism!
Score = 10
This is pretty ridamndiculous. Faye Dunaway??? Hillary Duff??? What an assine slap in the face to Ms. Dunaway. I would be pissed, too.
Score = 2
I'm sorry Gabe, but shouldn't you have made it ZSI and not CZI? It rhymes and everything.
Score = 2
Network is the coolest fucking movie ever.

It was a mean thing to do and Hilary responded well!
