La Duff is experiencing an Olsen Twins style inability to cross over into the adult market. None of her movies have done that well, and her performances in them haven't garnered her very good reviews. She has a movie coming out next month, Raise Your Voice, and if that doesn't do very well, she's in trouble. Personally, I can't stand her and am sort of hoping the movie tanks, which I know is mean, but there you go.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.
