I must say, I am not a Hilary Duff fan. Her music and her acting both do not appeal to me, but I do kind of like the way she looks. She seems to be the only famous person right now that is not 90lbs/has not lost all of her known body fat. I do respect her for the fact that she is fine with herself.
And as far as that comment on her legs....I can undersatnd why she should not wear shorts. That Teen Choice photo of her distorted her legs/made them look really short and chubby. And I do not know what her legs look like normally. But if they always look like they did in that picture, then no, shorts should not be worn.
