The singer/actress said in an interview featured in the December/January issue of <i>Jane</i> that she has a tactic to duck photographers trying to capture her in a tough moment with her boyfriend, <b>Good Charlotte</b>'s <b>Joel Madden</b>: "If we're out someplace, we could totally be fighting, but we'll be looking at each other like this," Duff explained, reportedly flashing a big smile, "because there's a camera right there. Then we end up forgetting we're in a fight, because we're laughing since it's not a real thing to do, and we're both such real people." Real people who listen to music you may not expect, Duff insisted. "I love the <b>Faint</b>. If they would do a song for me, I would blow a fuse." ...
