Hilary Duff, 27, and Joel Madden, 19, Have Split

Hilary Duff, 27, and Joel Madden, 19, Have SplitHilary Duff and Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden have confirmed they have split. Madden made a DJ appearance at Chicago, Illinois hotspot Enclave last Wednesday, where he told clubgoers he was no longer with Duff. Madden, 27, and Duff, 19, only went public with their relationship last year, but they have been together for two and a half years.

Apparently the age difference was the main factor leading to their separation. The duo only went public with their romance last year, after the Lizzie McGuire star came of age. "I've found the perfect person," Madden told People last month. "She's confident, she accepts me for my imperfections, and she is good to me. I never have to question if she's going to be there, because I know she will be."

"I can indeed confirm that Joel is single," the Good Charlotte band's manager, Steve Feinberg, says. "We are not going to elaborate on Joel's personal life but I will say they have split." There's been no official word as yet from Hilary's camp.

Last month, the pair filed for a restraining order against two men, alleging they were stalking Hilary. In November 3, 2006, Duff's stalker, Maksim Miakovsky, was arrested for threatening to kill her that weekend. He was booked on charges of making criminal threats and stalking. He came to the U.S. "for the sole purpose of meeting and becoming romantically involved with Ms. Duff." Miakovsky is currently being held on $200,000 bail at the Manhattan Beach jail. He was arraigned on November 7, 2006.

Hilary Duff Stalker Pleads Not Guilty Nov 9, 2006

Hilary Duff's stalker has pleaded not guilty to stalking the pop star. Hillary Duff, who was saved on Nov. 5 the alleged stalker who had planned to kill her, will have have to provide enough evidence to a judge that 18-year-old Maksim Miakovsky was stalking her.
 
The 'Cheaper by the Dozen' actress took out a restraining order against Miakovsky last month and the Russian immigrant was arrested on Friday after he revealed he planned to kill the teen star at a public event she was due to attend.

It has been revealed that on Friday a private investigator from Sunset Protective Services contacted Miakovsky at the Residence Inn motel and Miakovsky stated his intention of killing Duff on Sunday (05.11.06).

Miakovsky was arrested at the motel and was being held on $200,000 bail at the Manhattan Beach jail after being charged with making criminal threats and stalking.

Duff, 19, and her boyfriend, Joel Madden, took out the restraining order because they feared Miakovsky planned to kill them.

Legal papers filed by Duff alleged that Miakovsky had "stated his intention of 'removing' his 'enemies' (i.e. those who prevent him from being with Duff), stated his intention of purchasing a weapon and threatened to kill himself and to engage in dramatic actions to get her attention."

Duff also alleges in legal documents that Miakovsky came to the US "for the sole purpose of meeting and becoming romantically involved with Ms. Duff".

According to the AP,  Maksim Myaskovskiy pleaded not guilty Tuesday (Nov.7) to stalking Duff. Maksim Myaskovskiy was charged with the felony when he appeared in court, and his bail was raised to $1 million. A Nov. 22 hearing was set to determine whether enough evidence exists to order him to stand trial.

 

Duff's Stalker Arrested for Alleged Death Threats

Hilary Duff's life has been threatened by a man who wants to date her.

Maksim Miakovsky was arrested at a Residence Inn on Friday, Nov. 3, for allegedly threatening to kill the "Cinderella Story" star, reports TMZ.com.

According to unidentified sources, the 18-year-old man was at the Residence Inn this past weekend and told a private investigator from Sunset Protective Services that he intended to kill Duff at an event she had scheduled for Sunday.

He's currently being held on $200,000 bail at the Manhattan Beach jail and is scheduled for arraignment on Tuesday.

The Russian emigree is already known for his obsessive interest in Duff who, with her boyfriend Joel Madden of the band Good Charlotte, filed for a restraining order against Miakovsky. This is the first time the media has caught wind of his intentions to harm the tween star however. Previously, he had stated that he intended to be Duff's boyfriend and that he would remove any "enemies" that stood in their way. Among those enemies are Madden, Duff's mother and sister, and Duff's personal manager Susan Curtis.

The legal documents refer to Miakovsky as "Max," and paint a picture of a man with a misguided romantic agenda. He has threatened that "bad things" would happen if he were thwarted, cased the grocerty store where Madden shopped and questioned Duff's neighbors while looking for her house.

Duff, 19, first won fans as the klutzy "Lizzie Mcguire" on the Disney Channel. Since then, she's starred in "The Lizzie McGuire Movie," two "Cheaper by the Dozen" films, "A Cinderella Story," "Raise Your Voice" and "The Perfect Man" and "Material Girls" with sister Haylie. The Sisters Duff also collaborated by lending their voice talents to the upcoming animated "Foodfight!," in which they play items in a grocery store.

    Hilary Duff Files Restraining Order Against Russian Stalker  October 13  06

    Hilary DuffHilary Duff and boyfriend Joel Madden have filed an application for a restraining order against two men, alleging they are stalking the teen star. Duff, 19, and Madden, 26, filed papers in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday, claiming a 19-year-old Russian immigrant named Max, and his roommate, celebrity photographer David Joseph Klein, 50, have been aggressively stalking the couple since the beginning of September.

    Court documents claim Max and Klein have made repeated attempts to contact the actress' manager and have waited outside her mother's house, a Hollywood venue when Madden's band Good Charlotte performed last month, and a local Los Angeles market, where the couple often shop.

    Documents claim Max "admitted to being 'obsessed' with her, has stated his intention of 'removing' his 'enemies' (i.e., those who prevent him from being with her), has stated his intention of purchasing a weapon, and has threatened to kill himself and to engage in dramatic actions to get her attention."

    The couple also alleges Max "has stated his belief that Hilary is in love with him and that Joel Madden stands in their way." Papers claim Max moved from Russia to Los Angeles two years ago for the sole purpose of starting a relationship with Duff. Duff claims the men are causing her "substantial emotional distress" and are asking an L.A. judge to grant a restraining order for both men to stay 100 feet away from the couple at all times.

    A hearing is set for November 15.

    Live Review: Hilary Duff in Toronto


    TORONTO - Hilary Duff cemented her position as the ultimate Tween Queen last night with a show at the Molson Amphitheatre that provided everything her young audience could have wanted -- earnest smiles, poppy singalong choruses, girl-positive lyrics, dancing, sparkly lights and just the merest hint of rock 'n' roll.

    In just a few years, Duff -- perhaps the only artist who could get away with putting out a greatest-hits collection after releasing just two albums -- has turned a starring role in the TV show Lizzie McGuire into a giant entertainment-lifestyle empire that encompasses movies, a new tween clothing line and a fragrance as well as music.

    And last night's almost entirely female crowd proved their love by singing along, dancing, waving their glowsticks and screaming so much that earplugs were more of a necessity than at most of the summer's big rock shows.

    What is it about Hilary that so enchants her fans, most of whom are a decade younger than she is? It's not the songs, which range from sub-Madonna dance-pop to sub-Avril pop-punk, or her voice, which is unremarkable at best.

    Perhaps it's just that the everygirl Lizzie McGuire persona got so far into the teen-girl universe that they couldn't help but love everything Hilary did.

    Still, a teen star's moment doesn't last forever, and already there are signs that Duff, who turns 19 in September, is looking to stretch beyond the role of pop princess.

    Her latest songs, co-written with boyfriend Joel Madden of Good Charlotte, are punkier and more rock guitar-based than the fluffy early pop hits.

    And both Duff -- dark-haired and wearing jeans, cowboy boots and a rock T -- and her black-clad band were clearly trying their best to look badass.

    Opening with Wake Up, one of three new songs on last year's Most Wanted collection, Duff and co., went on to play rockier versions of hits like Getaway, Mr. James Dean and Do You Want Me, interspersed with big rock ballads like Cry, Someone's Watching Over Me and Hide Away.

    She got virtually everyone in the place to raise their hands and clap during her catchiest song, Come Clean, and to dance with pure youthful joy to Party Up, Break My Heart and The Beat Of My Heart.

    Perhaps Duff's finest moment, though, came during the song I Am, which she introduced by explaining that everyone has up and down days and should feel proud to be who they are.

    Then she got all the tweens to announce that they are special, beautiful, wonderful, powerful, etc.

    She may be encouraging them to beg their parents for low-rise jeans soon, but give her credit for that one little bit of positive thinking.

    Hilary Duff Joins 'New Year's Rockin ' Eve'
    Nov 28, 12:50 PM EST

    Hilary Duff will be the host of the West Coast portion of Dick Clark's "New Year's Rockin' Eve" on ABC this year, and she will perform three songs.

    Producers already announced this summer that Clark, who will be making his first television appearance since suffering a stroke last December, will be in Times Square with co-host Ryan Seacrest.

    Duff, who has sold more than 1 million copies of her "Most Wanted" CD, takes over a West Coast role that was filled last year by Ashlee Simpson, producers said Monday.

    Clark's ABC year-end special, traditionally the party of choice for those who ring in the New Year in front of the television, faces competition from a new Fox show with Regis Philbin. Philbin was Clark's emergency substitute on ABC last year.

    Carson Daly will be the host of a New Year's special on NBC.
















    Teen queen shines
     
    From Sydney Confidential

    Power performer ... Hilary Duff / Trish Johnson

    POP princess Hilary Duff won over more than 10,000 fans during her sell-out show at the Entertainment Centre on Saturday night, but none more so than the Styles family.

    During her tour of the East Coast, teen queen Duff proved she has substance as well as style when she found time in her schedule to meet Mark and Penny Styles and their daughters Haylie and Georgia.

    The family sadly lost their eight-year-old son William to leukaemia in October, and thanks to Duff, were able to honour one of his last wishes.

    As the singer's "number one fan," William had asked his father to promise him that if Duff ever came to Australia, he would ask her to visit the sick kids in Westmead Children's Hospital.

    While her Hollywood gal-pals Nikki Hilton and Kimberley Stewart did little to change their spoilt party princess reputations when in Sydney recently, Duff showed maturity beyond her 18 years when - flanked by the Styles family - handed out presents to the kids at the hospital on Thursday.

    Duff gave the family tickets to her sold-out show, where she wowed the crowd with an energetic stage routine.

    Duff wraps up her three month global tour today, when she flies out of Australia bound for LA. Love your work.
