While we've missed the press opportunity to check out Haylie Duff in Broadway's Hairspray – and, having already seen the show, don't feel the necessity to plunk down cash to see the 7th Heaven actress in what's likely the final run of the show – there's news we might have another chance to catch a Duff amid the Midtown lights. The Insider's Marc Malkin today reports Hilary Duff might be headed to The Wedding Singer (which, despite what you may think, is a musical we're declaring as this year's Tommy). Meanwhile, Nick Lachey – currently only seen in dust-gathering promo posters and in Clix fragrance ads – is said being considered for the role of Billy Flynn in Chicago. Actually, word has it he's already been offered the part. Twice. And turned it down both times.

I thought Usher was confirmed for Billy Flynn?
