Mandy Moore

Dwayne Johnson has admitted that Mandy Moore, his co-star in Southland Tales, is his “kind of woman.” Dwayne, who recently announced his separation from wife Dany, says of Mandy, who plays his wife in the movie, “Mandy is drop dead gorgeous! She is beautiful and sweet and tall! My kind of woman! I can’t say enough great things about her.” Not sure what Mandy thinks of The Rock, as she didn’t attend the recent screening for the movie. Hmm. You can check out the movie trailer for Southland Tales here.

Mandy Moore: ‘I’m Not Nicole Richie’

Mandy Moore takes a swipe at Nicole Richie, who is the ex of Adam ‘DJ AM’ Goldstein, whom Mandy is currently dating, in the upcoming issue of Seventeen magazine. Read what Mandy said below:

“Oh, God! I tell you what: In this industry it’s my job to look a certain way or whatnot — and it’s’ weird for men too. But I’m much happier to present this type of person. I’m not Nicole Richie. I’m not like a toothpick, and I will never be. I’m just a regular-looking person — and that’s okay. I’s taken a while to come to grips with that since its’ definitely not the norm in my business. But, like, who cares? If anything, that makes someone more special — or at least that’s what I tell myself. [Laughs]

Mandy Moore’s Ghost Encounter

Mandy Moore doesn’t let fear get in her way. Jump out of an airplane? No problem. Live in a haunted house? Bring it on!

Moore told David Letterman on CBS’ “Late Show” Wednesday that she once made a resolution to go skydiving, and decided to try jumping tandem with an experienced instructor.

“So thrilling!” Moore gushed. “I’m addicted, I want to go again!” She added that she loved how serene and quiet it was the moment after her parachute opened.

The 22-year-old singer and actress said she was just a little afraid when she stayed at a recording studio built in an old house in the upstate New York town of Woodstock. Moore was there to work on her upcoming album, due this spring.

She was told ahead of time that the house was haunted by the matriarch of the family who once lived there.

“I’m a big scaredy-cat,” she said. “So as soon as I arrived in my part of the house I walked around to every room saying, ‘I’m just here for a couple of months and I’m here to do something real and creative, so please don’t scare me, please leave me alone!’”

Moore told Letterman that she heard footsteps at night, would come home late and find all the lights on in her room, and would find her laundry thrown on the floor.

“There’s not a chance that raccoons could get in the house?” asked Letterman.

She insisted there was no other way to explain it, other than there being ghosts in the house.

One thing that did give Moore the jitters was starring opposite her idol, Diane Keaton, in the upcoming film “Because I Said So” opening Feb. 2.

“Diane truly is on a pedestal to me. I love her,” said Moore.

Mandy Moore Struggled with Depression

Mandy Moore has a lot going for her, including a starring role opposite Diane Keaton in the upcoming comedy “Because I Said So.” Even so, she says she’s grappled with depression.

“A few months ago I felt really low, really sad. Depressed for no reason,” the 22-year-old actress-singer says in an interview in the February issue of Jane magazine, on newsstands Tuesday.

“I’m a very positive person, and I’ve always been glass-half-full,” she continues. “So it was like someone flipped a switch in me.”

Moore, newly single after high-profile relationships with actor Zach Braff and tennis standout Andy Roddick, says her recent split with Braff didn’t help matters.

“The breakup added to what I was going through, but it’s not the complete reason,” she tells the magazine. “It definitely doesn’t help if you’re already in that place … .”

Moore started out as a squeaky-clean teen singer and later crossed over into movies with featured roles in such films as “A Walk to Remember,” “Saved” and “American Dreamz.”

“I feel bad that people wasted their money on such trite, blah pop music,” says Moore about her earlier music.

Moore, who is working on a new record, has been looking inward a lot of late.

“I’ve been going through this really crazy time in my life _ it’s what I imagine people fresh out of college go through,” she says. “I’m asking myself life-altering questions, like `Who am I? Where do I fit in this world? What am I doing, what do I want to do? Am I living to my full potential?’”

DJ AM and Mandy Moore Getting Cozy

Mandy Moore and Adam Goldstein (aka DJ AM) - Nicole Richie’s ex - went on a date at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf in LA.
A source close to Goldstein confirmed that the pair have recently started dating. “It’s really new. They’re in the beginning stages of getting to know each other,” the source says. “They’re very into each other. It’s very sweet.” The pair’s trip to the coffee shop was reportedly their fourth date this week. “She had a huge smile on her face,” said a witness. “When they left, they put their arms around each other.” Rumors flew that Moore might hook up with ex-boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama after the two were spotted partying together in Miami over the New Year’s weekend, but a source says, “Even though she was with Wilmer in Miami, she and DJ made plans. They are seeing where it goes.” Moore’s rep doesn’t comment on her personal life, and Goldstein’s publicist hasn’t commented either.

A month or so ago there was a report DJ AM was trying desperately to find a famous girlfriend, due to him not being able to charge as much for DJ’ing now that he is no longer with Nicole Richie. Hmmm…

Mandy Moore is in high spirits despite watching home team the L.A. Dodgers lose 9-7 to the New York Mets at Dodgers Stadium on Wednesday.
