We can't get enough of that wonderful Duff.
Prior to taking the stage during the Calgary stop of her Still Most Wanted Canadian tour, the slight, pretty star of film, TV, radio, video and department store aisles sat down with Sun Media for an interview to ponder, among other things, why she keeps coming back.
Is it possible Duff is ready to renounce her citizenship and become a passport-carrying Canadian?
"No," Duff laughs. "I want to be an American - I'm happy where I'm from. But I think that if I can't be home, this is a good place to be.
"I've spent so much time in Toronto and Vancouver (making films) and just touring here so much - I love it.
"And the fans here are just amazing. At every single show, I can't believe they keep coming back each time, sold out venues and they know every word."
As to why that is, the star, who has a case of the sniffles after a fire alarm sent her scurrying from her local hotel underdressed, even for a mild Calgary winter ("I grabbed my dog and I didn't grab my jacket," she sniffs), is at a loss to explain it.
"I don't know what it is," she says. "I just know the fans are really supportive of me and really loyal, and I think it takes a long time to build up something like that."
Well, a long time is a relative thing - Duff, who shot to fame as a result of her role in the Disney series Lizzie McGuire, has only released three albums in the past four years.
That said, her three discs, including her latest greatest hits package Most Wanted, have debuted in this country at No. 1, with the trio, as well as the Lizzie McGuire soundtrack, selling more than a million copies combined.
Musically, the next thing we can expect from the Duff camp is a cover of Madonna's "Material Girl" she's recording with her sister, Haylie, for the soundtrack to the film Material Girls.
And she's keeping busy with other projects such as her clothing line, Stuff, available at Zellers and HBC, with a new line launching later this year and a fragrance from Elizabeth Arden.
It continues the Duff trend of going from project to project, film role to album to tour to whatever, seemingly unable to enjoy or have the time to appreciate all she's accomplished.
"I am so busy that I don't think I get a lot of time to sit down and say, 'Oh, wow, I can't believe I got asked to do this.' Or, 'I can't believe I'm doing this or this or this.'"
