Apparently turned down a role in A Cinderella Story


Do you think she was offered the lead role of Cinderella? Or maybe one of the stepsisters?

I haven't seen the movie, so I don't know if there's any other characters other than those three that she may have been offered, but how do you think her career could be now had she taken on a role in that movie?

Probably the step sisters. Hilary Duff was on the rise during that time. They for sure we're going to headline Hilary Duff as Cinderella.

Thank god she did. That movie rocks and would have only been brought down by her annoying, untalented presence.

It was the mean girl role ... Shelby I think is the character name.
She turned down to do a cruise ... later disney offer her the mean girl role in Sky High
