Hilary Duff: "I Never Said I Was A Virgin

Hilary Duff says she never told Elle magazine in 2006 that she was still a virgin.

"You know what? I was quoted saying I was a virgin, but I absolutely did not say that," she says in the January issue of Maxim. "That's nobody's business but my own. Somehow it turned into a bad thing!"

But Duff, 21, says that's not the worst thing that's been written about her.

"I've been accused by the press of giving lap dances at clubs," she says. "I mean, little ol' me? It's shocking.

"People love to believe it —- it's way more exciting to talk about than the truth! And they're so descriptive about these lap dances," she says. "I don't even know how to do a lap dance!"

Duff says she isn't afraid to show her sexual side occasionally.

"I was ready to do something different," the singer says. "The intent was not to be overtly sexual; I'm not naked. I do have little shorts on in it — but I also wear a giant tutu. It's good to show different sides of yourself."

She says she is no longer a tween star -- much to the chagrin of parents.

"Mothers come up to me and say, 'Don't ever change; you're such a good girl,'" she says. "I am a good girl. But how can I say I won't ever change? That's impossible."

At the end of the day, Duff -- who is dating hockey star Mike Comrie -- says, "I'm a relationship person.

"Now it's all over the Internet that I'm getting engaged to my boyfriend," she says. "The truth is, I just like to wear rings!"
