Former Disney poster child accuses Elle of falsifying virginity quote

HOLLYWOOD, CA (Hollywood Today) 12/16/08 – “Raise Your Voice” headliner Hilary Duff is speaking up about her interview with Elle two years ago, in which she allegedly claimed her virginity was intact. The “With Love” singer, fragrance designer and fashion mogul told Maxim in its upcoming January issue that the 2006 statement about her sex life was a complete fabrication.
“You know what? I was quoted saying I was a virgin,” Duff, 21, revealed to the popular lad mag, “but I absolutely did not say that. That’s nobody’s business but my own.”
The former “Lizzie McGuire” star did not specify if the suspect section of text was accurate or not, but did criticize the media at large for promulgating rumors the entertainer enjoyed dispensing amateur lap dances at various night clubs.
“People love to believe it; it’s way more exciting to talk about than the truth,” Duff put forth. “And they’re so descriptive about these lap dances. I don’t even know how to do a lap dance!”
Duff, who appears in various states of undress in Maxim’s January issue, has striven over the past several years to distance herself from the wholesome Disney image by which she rose to fame in 2001. In 2004, she appeared in a provocative photo shoot in Blender magazine, and earlier this year, she portrayed a coquettish pop star in the satirical romp “War, Inc.”
