It’s unclear whether she’ll be a regular or just a temporary, recurring star.  Duff will play Olivia, “a movie star who enrolls at NYU in search of a traditional college experience” and rooms with Vanessa (Jessica Szohr).

Thoughts on the casting?

Fun fact: Duff was reportedly considered for the role of Annie on 90210 but she passed on the project.





Random Thought

I just remembered–while thinking about how much I can’t stand Annie/Shenae Grimes on 90210–that Hilary Duff was originally offered the role.  I can’t help but wonder how that would’ve turned out.  Would we hate Annie as much as everyone seems to?  Would we hate her even more?

What are your thoughts?
