Hilary Duff is set to appear as an LA actress in Gossip Girl, so not that far from the truth, then!

Hilary Duff joins the Upper East Side gang at college, but she's not just another socialite student. Hilary's character Olivia Burke is an A-list actress, who decides to give up the spotlight for a quieter, academic life.

Obviously everyone flocks around her and makes it hard for her to blend in, but when she meets Dan Humphrey, he doesn't even know who she is - typical!

Olivia lives with Vanessa and begins spending a lot of time with Dan.  Their relationship blossoms, but Olivia gets caught up in a little white lie to keep her real identity a secret from him.

Hilary co-stars with special guest Tyra Banks and they shoot a film within a series, as if things weren't complicated enough!

Hilary has admitted that she has quite a lot in common with Olivia, as she also sometimes feels trapped by the media attention and just wants to do normal things and hang out with her mates.

She also gushed about the Gossip Girl fashion wardrobe and how it's just like 'every girl's dream'. It's definitely on our wish list!
