Celebrity Gossip: Hilary Duff Lights Up the Empire State Building

Back on the east coast after a short stay in Los Angeles, Hilary Duff attended the lighting ceremony at the Empire State Building in new York City on Thursday (May 14).

The “Stay Cool” cutie was on-hand to pull the lever - which beamed out a bright red light in honor of the AIDS walk taking place in the Big Apple.

“In tough times, it’s even more important for people to get involved,” Duff said in a statement prior to her charitable visit. “Everyone should find a cause they believe in whether it is something in your local community or something as big a global issue as AIDS.”

Talking about the event, Marjorie J. Hill, chief executive officer of GMHC, explained, “From sunset to midnight on Thursday, New Yorkers will see the solid red color, synonymous with AIDS awareness, beaming from the building. The red lights will serve as a reminder that AIDS is still a matter of great urgency in New York and throughout the United States.”
