Are Hilary and Haylie Duff Secretly Feuding?: This week the internet has been stuck in a nostalgia loop. "Gangnam Style" is making a comeback on TikTok (albeit as a backdrop for people to share their trauma about cheating boyfriends and being almost-murdered). Pete Davidson is getting branded with his girlfriend's name, again. And TikTok is replete with rumors of Hilary and Haylie Duff, your favorite early-aughts Disney tween sibling stars, being enmeshed in a feud, for possible reasons that Brittany and Ej rehash this week at an exhausting length. Is it politics? In-law drama? Related to the 2006 classic Material Girls? We simply don't know, but we're sure gonna speculate at length to try to find out!
