Hilary Duff's New World

Hilary Duff says her life is pretty normal, but not every 18-year-old makes music and movies, dates a rock star (Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden) and has her own "world" – at least in cyberspace. The Most Wanted singer, 18, recently launched Hilary World, a new Web site on Kids Online at AOL (KOL) that features an advice column, and her own blog on AOL's teen service RED. PEOPLE caught up with Duff about her new venture, coping with life on the road and having her "peaceful, perfect place." Tell me about your Hilary World site.It has all my favorite things that I'm into – movies, music, actors – and we update it all the time. I'm doing a blog once or twice a week. There will be an advice column that will have live chats every once in a while. Do you write the advice column yourself? I get to go through the questions and pick the ones I want to answer. Kids these days have things going on in their lives, thoughts or feelings that they don't necessarily know who to talk to about. I'm just going to answer honestly and tell them how I would handle a situation. I think serious issues are cool to talk about.
