You’d think with all of the noogies, bunk bedding and hand-me-down clothes they endured, stars’ siblings should be entitled to a record or movie deal.
Alas, unless their names are Frank Stallone or LaToya Jackson, sibs of the famous must have talent to become stars. But that hasn’t stopped the likes of Haylie Duff from trying to earn fame.
Hilary’s big sis plans to make her own album and will play opposite former B2K frontman Omarion in the horror movie “Crazy House.” But she’s not the only sister hard at work:
The sisters: Haylie Duff
(Hilary)
The gigs: Movie role in “Napoleon Dynamite”
Name shame: Too close to Eminem’s daughter for comfort.
Contributions to art: Her character is “part of the Happy Hands Club, a sign-language club where we learn, like, Backstreet Boys songs.”
The sisters: Solange Knowles
(Beyonce)
The gigs: Debut LP “Solo Star”
Name shame: Sounds like cold medicine.
Contributions to art: “S-O-L-O, S-T-A-R that’s how I roll. Starting my own style and I’m takin’ it to the streets, streets.”
The sisters: Ashlee Simpson
(Jessica)
The gigs: WB’s “7th Heaven” and upcoming MTV reality show
Name shame: Too “E”s?
What-everrrr.
Contributions to art: On sister Jessica: “We’re such individuals, and we’re both doing the same things–but not.”
The sisters: Jamie Lynn Spears
(Britney)
The gigs: Nickelodeon’s “All That”
Name shame: Usually shouted with her last name and followed by “come from over yonder!”
Contributions to art: “You know how everybody says thingy-mah-jig? I could swear I made that up. Everybody says it, from Kentwood to California to New York, and I’m telling you, I made it up.”
