Why Wait Two Years?

Hilary Duff is interviewed for January's Maxim Magazine and it is surprising for a couple of things. Maxim really wanted the interview because the cover is pretty tame by their standards, and for what Hilary revealed in the interview. Hilary says that when she was interviewed by Elle that she never told them she was still a virgin.

"You know what? I was quoted saying I was a virgin, but I absolutely did not say that."

OK, fine. Despite the fact that everyone thinks Joel Madden broke up with you because of that. That's right. You forgot they dated didn't you? Now that Joel is a family man and all. Remember Nicole Richie was his rebound relationship.

Is this all a big deal? No, not really in the whole scheme of life or compared to how and why a four year old kid could break into a toy store in the middle of the night, but it is interesting. I remember at the time of the Elle interview a big deal was made out of the fact that she went on the record as saying she was still a virgin. She got a lot of attention for the statement and I don't recall her trying to correct Elle at that point because she was getting a free publicity wave from the statement.

Instead of letting people think that is what she said, don't you think she had an obligation to tell everyone at that point? Two years later and no once cares. All it says is that she probably was not a virgin at that point. So, by keeping her mouth shut and enjoying the almost overwhelmingly positive publicity from that statement don't you think it would have been more honest and upright of her to say something then?

Oh, and one other thing she clarifies. She doesn't do lap dances for her boyfriend. She says she likes reading about how she supposedly does them for her boyfriend, but that she doesn't even know how. Uh huh.
