HILARY DUFF has laughed off rumours two songs on her new album are about NICOLE RICHIE, who is dating Duff's ex boyfriend JOEL MADDEN.
The teen star insists she has no bitterness towards Richie - and that the songs are actually about her mother and father.
Duff says, "I've read that GYPSY WOMAN and STRANGER are about Nicole but they're not - they are about my parents.
"I want Joel to be happy, and if she makes him happy...
"Obviously he's going to find someone else, like I'm going to do."
