    Hilary Duff Rocks Bikini in “Chasing the Sun” Video

    Hilary Duff is rocking a black bikini in the video for her comeback single “Chasing the Sun.”

    The song and video officially released on Tuesday, although it leaked online the day before.

    Duff described it as a “light and fun summer song.” Colbie Caillat, Toby Gad, and Jason Reeves co-wrote the tune, which Duff hopes “helps people to feel a little more carefree.”

    The song marks Duff’s return to the music industry after a seven-year break.

    “I took a break from music for quite awhile, but it gave me the power to choose my next steps carefully and I’m really proud of the album I’ve made,” Duff said.

    “I’ve worked very hard and the album is a great representation of the experiences I’ve had in my life and where I want to go from here!”

    The upcoming studio album will be Duff’s fifth. The singer and actor, who rose to fame as star of Disney’s hit series Lizzie McGuire, released her first album (Santa Claus Lane) in 2002.

    She followed that up with Metamorphosis, her best-selling album to date, in 2003. It included two hit singles, “Come Clean” and “So Yesterday” and went triple platinum.

    Duff went on to release a self-titled studio album in 2004, a compilation album (Most Wanted) in 2005, her fourth studio album (Dignity) in 2007, and a greatest hits album (Best of Hilary Duff) in 2008.

    Duff has kept busy acting and being a mother during her break from music.

    Besides starring in a spin-off movie of the Lizzie McGuire series, Duff stared in Agent Cody Banks (2003,) Cheaper by the Dozen (also 2003,) and A Cinderella Story (2004.)

    She guest-starred on series such as George Lopez, Gossip Girl, Joan of Arcadia, and Two and a Half Men.

    Most recently she’s been attached to TV Land’s upcoming single-camera comedy series Younger. Written and executive-produced by Darren Star (Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place, Sex and the City) the series will also star Sutton Foster (Bunheads, Shrek the Musical,) Debi Mazar (Collateral, Goodfellas,) and Miriam Shor (Bedazzled, The Cake Eaters.)

    Duff also provided voice for the animated film Wings: Sky Force Heroes opposite Josh Duhamel and Rob Schneider, and starred in the yet-to-be-released Flock of Dudes with Skylar Astin, Bryan Greenberg, and New Girl’s Hannah Simone.

    Duff is also a New York Times best selling author. In 2010 she released Elixir, the first installment of her young adult trilogy, a collaboration with Elise Allen. Devoted released in 2011 and True in 2013.

    Duff and her estranged husband Mike Comrie have a son, Luca, who was born in March 2012.

  • Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie at Coachella 2014

    Hilary Duff and her estranged husband Mike Comrie were spotted together at Coachella 2014 on Friday.

    The couple, who married in 2010 and have a two-year-old son together, announced their separation in January.

    Despite their appearance at the annual Indio, CA music festival on Friday, a source says Duff and Comrie are not reconciling:

    “They are still separated but very good friends … They are at Coachella this weekend, which is sure to fan the flames, but they aren’t a couple. It’s just not true – they remain separated.”

    Indeed, it’s not the first time the two have appeared together since announcing their separation.

    In February Duff posted a picture of her, Comrie, and their son Luca in the Bahamas with the hashtags #modernfamily and #vacation.

    Duff has posted several photos on Twitter giving Comrie photo credit:

    The day before being spotted at Coachella, the two were seen shopping together at the Chanel store in Beverly Hills. Similar sightings have occurred in New York City, and at one point, Duff posted a picture of Comrie and Luca hiking that was presumably taken by her.

    At the very least, Duff and Comrie appear to be carrying out the vow they made back in January to remain friends and lovingly co-parent their son.

    It was recently announced that Duff, who broke onto the Hollywood scene with her starring role in the Disney hit series Lizzie McGuire in 2001, will return to television full-time to star in Younger. TV Land Network has ordered 12 episodes of the show. It will be produced by Darren Star of Sex and the City fame and will costar Sutton Foster, who has won two Tony Awards for her Broadway performances.

    Duff recently signed a deal for her fifth music album:

    Originally from Canada, Comrie retired from professional hockey in 2012 at the age of 31 after undergoing his third hip surgery in five years. He had played 10 seasons in the National Hockey League.
