Since then, she has released new music plus stars in other movies and television shows, including "Younger" and "How I Met Your Father."

Hilary Duff recently went on to Dear Media to appear on a podcast, where she talked about various topics, including her go-to breakfast. "I wake up hungry," Duff said on the podcast, "I'm obsessed with those cauliflower rounds. They're so good. It's made of cauliflower and looks like a pita, but it's small," she said. "They're just cauliflower and maybe like one other [ingredient]. They're super clean."

The show's host then brought up the topic of alcoholic beverages, saying she recently had a dirty martini, to which Duff quickly replied, "Oh, that's my fave."

Although the "Younger" actress loves dirty martinis, she does have one major problem with the drink.

"The problem is, after you have the first one, you have the second one," she laughed. "Sometimes you have the third one, and that's never a good idea."

Hilary Duff was set to reprise her role in the highly anticipated "Lizzie McGuire" reboot alongside other original cast members Hallie Todd (Jo McGuire/Lizzie's Mom), Robert Carradine (Sam McGuire/Lizzie's Dad), Jake Thomas (Matt McGuire/Lizzie's brother), Adam Lamberg (Gordo) and, of course, animated Lizzie. However, the reboot was canceled as Duff said, "the stars just didn't align."

Although the project was scrapped, and Duff has not heard anything from Disney about the project, she says she is still open to working on a "Lizzie McGuire" reboot, which she admitted on "Watch What Happens Live." Host Andy Cohen read a question from fans, which mentioned "Lizzie McGuire" and asked Duff if she would still consider doing the reboot if "it lived up to her vision," to which Duff quickly said, "Of course."

Cohen then asked what the "main sticking point" was for the reboot, to which the "So Yesterday" singer got a bit tongue-tied, trying to tread lightly and not say something she didn't mean. After a short pause, Duff gathered her thoughts and eventually answered, "Disney+ was very new, and I think they were figuring out they're [pause], and we were figuring out our [pause], and…," Duff took another quick pause before concluding with, "I am optimistic."

When Duff said, "I think they were figuring out their [pause] and we were figuring out our [pause]," she was referring to the "creative differences" Disney and Duff had on the project. "She had to be 30 years old doing 30-year-old things," Duff previously told Women's Health, wanting to push for a more mature Lizzie. "She didn't need to be doing bong rips and having one-night stands all the time, but it had to be authentic. I think they got spooked."
