"Back in the day, I definitely would have dismissed me. I would have been like, 'Ew, God, she's terrible.' But maybe there's and indie-rock geek hiding beneath the old crazy facade."

Website Back Up

Posted by: Kevin

Wow, I'm very sorry about the downtime. I had no idea my hosting company would mess up so badly while transferring my sites to new servers. My other page is completely messed up too. Everything, but the photo gallery should be working. I'll work on that later to see if it's fixable.

I know I haven't been updated in a while... and I don't really plan to for a while. You can pretty much consider this site closed, until I decide to revive sometime in the future. But meanwhile, I will keep this site up as long as possible for people to enjoy the videos and pictures that we have collected over the years. It's been fun covering Mandy's career!

Video: Mandy Visits The View

Posted by: Kevin

Mandy Moore continued her string of guest appearances on several talk shows mainly to promote her new album. This clip also includes her performance of "I Could Break Your Heart Any Day of the Week." I included a low bandwidth version for those people with slow internet connections:

Some stats on how Amanda Leigh is performing:

- As JJ mentioned in the comments, Amanda Leigh opened at #25 on the Billboard Top 200 for the first week.

- Opened #4 in Billboard's Top Independent Albums List for the week of Jun 13 2009

- #12 on Billboard's Top Digital Albums for the week of Jun 13 2009

Overall, it's a pretty good start. Let's hope it continues selling for weeks to come.

Video: Mandy Performs on Ellen

Posted by: Kevin

Mandy Moore was a guest on Ellen Degeneres's self titled daytime talk show yesterday to promote her new album Amanda Leigh. During the interview, Mandy talks about what it's like to be married, how she got into singing and how she views her earlier work in the 90's. Afterwards, Mandy performed "I Could Break Your Heart Any Day of the Week" which is a track on her new album. If you're not familiar with Mandy's music in the past 4-5 years, do yourself a favor and take a listen.

Amanda Leigh Now Available!

Posted by: Kevin

Today's the big day, where Mandy Moore officially unveils her new album Amanda Leigh. There have been several small releases from Amanda Leigh prior to its release date, and now we'll finally be able to experience the whole album. It's been a busy day for Mandy Moore, so I decided to round up several articles that have been written about Mandy in conjunction with her new album:

Music Critic, Mario Terradell at The Dallas Morning News rates Mandy's new album a B+:

So here comes Amanda Leigh, undoubtedly Moore's creative statement. She co-penned all 10 vocal tracks (there's one short piano instrumental as well) and nurtured her vibe with plenty of inspiration from Fleetwood Mac, Mitchell, King, Todd Rundgren, Harry Nilsson and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young....

... Amanda Leigh turns more compelling with each listen. Moore, 25, seems to have taken to excellent guidance from producer and fellow songwriter Mike Viola. But obviously Moore was ready for this change. How great that she left the Britney Spears factory behind.

IGN Music had this to say about Mandy's new album:

Amanda Leigh maintains the throwback vibe of Coverage, while remaining as creatively evolved as Wild Hope. And although it's more artistically-oriented than most of the stuff on the Top 40 charts, Moore's pure pop voice and sugary lyrics may keep the album from having resonance beyond the immediate listening experience.

Mandy explores the making of her new album as well as her recent marriage with Alexis Chiu of People.com :

She's come a long way from her days belting out bubblegum hits like "Candy," touring with the Backstreet Boys and dating Wilmer Valderrama. But sometimes even Mandy Moore can't believe she's all grown-up!

"Marriage is such a mark of adulthood in my mind," Moore, 25, tells PEOPLE. "It still feels not entirely real. Things are wonderful, and there's such a peaceful settledness about it. But sometimes I can't wrap my head around it. It seems bizarre but really cool at the same time, like, 'Wow – I did that!' "

And finally Joan Anderman of the The Boston Globe believes Mandy Moore has so far been unable to shed her teen-pop image. However, Amanda Leigh is a step in the right direction:

Moore's attractive new album, "Amanda Leigh," takes her given name for its title, which is celebrity shorthand for "This is the real me." And there's the rub, not to mention the reason Moore's mature releases haven't gotten much traction: The real Mandy, or Amanda, or whoever, just isn't very interesting.

She does, however, have fine instincts and good taste.

This is a big day for Mandy and hopefully Amanda Leigh will catch on better than Wild Hope did.

Not Overly Concerned with Her Hips

Posted by: Kevin

In an article with People.com Mandy talks about her weight and how you don't have to be thin to be beautiful:

"I appreciate when there are other women out there who are beautiful and aren't, you know, a pound," she says. "I feel lucky that I don't feel pressure ... to have my whole life be controlled by whether I fit into a certain size."

Mandy's new album, Amanda Leigh hits stores next Tuesday, so pick up a copy and support Mandy!

Mandy Seeks Hypnotist Before Show

Posted by: Kevin

Mandy Moore cited nerves as the reason for seeking a hypnotist before a show in Los Angeles Saturday night. Clearly after taking her music in a new direction Mandy was anxious about the outcome of her new tunes. However, the audience had a positive reaction:

Music fans might have found the show bizarre — in a good way. The one-time Britney Spears wannabe took to the stage at the 280-seat Largo at the Coronet theater accompanied by a rootsy band that included a pedal-steel player. A string quartet also appeared.

That’s quite a step up from the days when the comely starlet cooed “Candy” with a menagerie of background dancers. But while Spears is still stuck in that role, Moore has moved on to the realm of Gram Parsons and Lucinda Williams.

Gallery Update Complete

Posted by: Kevin

I have given the gallery a much needed makeover this weekend. You can check it out now and feel free to give me any feedback.

More importantly, it looks like the gallery was hacked sometime in the past 6 months. Sorry that it too so long to catch, but the virus is relatively harmless to the users. But obviously it still presents a security risk, not to mention a headache for me! I managed to clean it up, but let me know through the comments if pops up again.

Gallery Updates

Posted by: Kevin

A couple days ago I added 3 scans of Mandy Moore who is featured in the latest issue of Details. The article paints a new picture of Mandy's changing lifestyle, which is partly influenced by her new husband Ryan Adams. She also discloses that she recorded her new album Amanda Leigh in 23 days. Be sure to check out the scans if you haven't already.

I can't promise this, but hopefully there will be a new layout for the photo gallery by next week. I just gotta find time this weekend to work on it. For now, I changed the gallery back to an old layout I used about 1 or 2 years ago.

Mandy's Shoes

Posted by: Kevin

Marketwatch came out with an article today highlighting 3 brands (stocks in context of the article) that have recently been linked to 3 celebrities. Here's what they had to say about Mandy:

Mandy Moore. While prolific alt-country singer Ryan Adams may have gotten Mandy to wear his wedding ring, he hasn't gotten her to don a pair of cowboy boots. Instead, Moore was last spotted wearing Steven Madden. Mandy is not the only one buying Madden (SHOO: Steven Madden Ltd SHOO 16.70, -0.11, -0.6%) right now: CL King & Analysts recently upgraded the stock to a "strong buy." That helped push the stock off its low near $13, but it is still down more than 20% for the year.

Find out about the other two here.

Picture Update: Mandy on Marie Claire Cover

Posted by: Kevin


I hope everyone enjoyed their St. Patrick's Day. After almost a year, we finally have a picture update! As stated a couple weeks ago, Mandy Moore is featured in the April 2009 issue of Marie Claire. Here is the intro to the article:

At Long Last... More Mandy

Out of the spotlight for a couple of years, easy-to-love Mandy Moore is back with a new album, a new plan, and yes, a fiancee.

Obviously the article is a little dated with Many being married now, but as for the title, I couldn't have said it better myself.
