The singer-and-actress regularly attends lover Mike Comrie's games for the New York Islanders and isn't afraid to confront "intense fans" who abuse her man.

She said: "I like to sit in the audience, you know I don't sit up in a box or anything, and people started to know that I'm sitting there, and they'll be like 'Mike sucks!' Or they try to rile me up and I'm like, 'Hey, watch it! I'll come up there, you know.'

"But I try to not be that crazy girlfriend."

Hilary - who has been dating Mike, 28, for almost two years - was not a fan of the sport when they first got together but has now learned more about it and considers herself a fan.

The 21-year-old star added to US TV talk show host Rachael Ray: "The first couple of games I went to, I'm like, 'These people are nuts.' They are, like, so into it. And then, I got really into it once I started learning about the game."
