    Hilary Duff and her former television co-stars have reunited online to raise funds for coronavirus relief efforts amid the ongoing health crisis in the United States.
    May 13, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Actress Hilary Duff has surprised fans by reuniting with her “Lizzie McGuire co-stars online for the first time in “almost 18 years.”
    The star took to Instagram on Monday, May 11, 2020 to share video footage of the recent conference call, on which she was joined by Lalaine, Adam Lamberg, Hallie Todd, Robert Carradine, and Jake Thomas, among others, to raise funds for coronavirus relief efforts.
    The group kicked off the virtual get-together by belting out the Disney Channel show’s theme song, before staging a table read of the season one episode, “Between a Rock and a Bra Place”, as they encouraged viewers to consider donating to a few of their “favourite charities.”

    In the caption for the video, Duff wrote, “LIZZIE MCGUIRE retro table read!”
    “Some fun for you this Monday! Hope you guys have fun watching this! We could not stop laughing reading lines from tween us…this is the first time we were all ‘together-ish’ in almost 18 years! This week marks the 19th anniversary of this episode ‘Between a Rock and a Bra Place!’ ”
    Duff concluded the post by apologising for the out-of-sync theme tune singalong, adding, “Do excuse our delayed singing…we will be taking singing lessons as a group to work on our craft!!”
    The digital reunion comes months after progress on a planned “Lizzie McGuire” reboot ground to a halt as the show’s original creator, Terri Minsky, left the project in January amid creative differences with Disney bosses.
    Duff subsequently hinted the issue at the centre of the dispute had to do with the more grown-up themes of the revamped series, which she was fighting network bosses to keep “real and relatable.”
    The original “Lizzie McGuire” series aired from 2001 to 2004.

      Hilary Duff Would Love to Move 'Lizzie McGuire' Reboot From Disney to Hulu

      The former child actress describes Disney’s PG rating as limitations so she would love to bring her reboot series to Hulu after the project was put on hold by the Mouse House.
      Mar 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Hilary Duff has vented her frustrations over the upcoming “[t=Lizzie McGuire” reboot at Disney+.
      Last month, January 2020, the project was put on hold as the show’s original creator Terri Minsky left the production after filming two episodes, amid claims studio bosses weren’t happy with the direction of the revived show was taking.
      Earlier this week, Hilary, who plays the title character in the show, hinted she was unhappy with the network, and on Friday the 32-year-old actress took to Instagram to voice her concerns.
      “Was incredibly excited to launch ‘Lizzie’ on D+ and my passion remains!” she wrote. “However, I feel a huge responsibility to honor the fans’ relationship with LIZZIE who, like me, grew up seeing themselves in her.”
      She continued, “I’d be doing a disservice to everyone by limiting the realities of a 30 year old’s journey to live under the ceiling of a PG rating… It’s important to me that just as her experience as a preteen / teenager navigating her life were authentic, her next chapters are equally as real and relatable.”
      The star went on to suggest a possible resolution for the issue would be changing network altogether, adding, “It would be a dream if Disney would let us move the show to Hulu, if they were interested, and I could bring this beloved character to life again.”
      Hilary’s post comes after it was reported a TV series loosely based on the 2018 LGBTQ+ coming-of-age movie, “Love, Simon”, had been dropped by Disney + and picked up by Hulu, as it was apparently not “family friendly” enough.
      At the time of the claims, she posted a screenshot of a headline reading, “Love, Simon TV Show Pulled From Disney+ as It’s Not ‘Family-Friendly,’ ” and added, “Sounds familiar…”
