The star of the upcoming movie ``Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen'' and Duff both dated pop singer Aaron Carter and had a falling out that reportedly resulted in Duff asking Lohan to leave the premiere of ``Cheaper by the Dozen,'' in which Duff co-starred. Lohan now says their spat is ``silly'' and ``unnecessary.'' ``I mean, she's doing great. I'm a fan of hers. My sister loves her,'' the 17-year-old Lohan said on ABC's ``Good Morning America'' on Tuesday. ``I just wanted to let her know I have no problems and neither should she. We were friends.'' When Diane Sawyer asked whether her fight with the 16-year-old Duff was ``a high-school thing,'' Lohan answered, ``Yeah.'' ``It is the reason why I wanted to finish high school early because it is what you have to deal with in high school,'' the actress said. ``When you are working and stuff, the last thing you want to read is someone doesn't like you. Let it go, you know what I mean? I just wanted to clear it up.'' `ANGEL' GETS HIS WINGS: The WB has done what no vampire slayer could: It killed ``Angel,'' the do-gooder bloodsucker with a soul.
