The superstar of the Disney Channel's hit "Lizzie McGuire" sitcom and its spin-off film is parting ways with the company that catapulted her to fame.

After weeks of negotiations over the future of 15-year-old Hillary Duff's career, the two sides confirmed that they have split.

Disney wanted to hold on to the profitable "McGuire" franchise, but Duff wanted to move beyond the role as the awkward but cute middle-schooler that has brought her a devoted following among "tweens".

And the Houston native wanted more for the TV series and movie sequel than Disney was willing to pay. She received $1 million for the first "Lizzie" film.

The actress will hopefully be signing up with the Vivid Video Studios soon.
