Current news this month: She's been hanging out with her boyfriend Taylor Goldsmith (of DAWES) as his band goes on tour across the country. Perhaps their music will influence her upcoming album? Her divorce from Ryan Adams was finalized last month as it took them a while to sort out their assets. Her upcoming film 47 Meters Down was retitled to In the Deep and set for a straight-to-VOD release on Aug 2nd. However, a week before it's release, the Weinstein Co sold it to Freestyle Releasing who reverted it back to 47 Meters Down and set a wide (2,500 theaters) release in summer 2017.

I'm still pissed about her and Ryan splitting but hopefully some great music comes out of it.

She needs a memoir because I need the tea on her and Ryan's marriage. They were always one of the oddest couples to me and I'm curious about the kind of dynamic they had behind closed doors.

Her performance in This Is Us is phenomenal. Who'd have thought the "Candy" singer would turn 15 minutes of teenpop fame into a lengthy and respectable adult acting career?

When I seen her in A Walk To Remember, I knew she'd have a better career in acting than music.

"I've Never Talked About This": Mandy Moore Gets Real About Diet and AgingNovember 29, 2016 by Amanda Montell It’s Saturday afternoon, and I’m standing in a crystal shop next to an amethyst the size of a grandfather clock, waiting for Mandy Moore. It’s hard to explain, but today at 2 p.m., Mandy and I have an appointment with a mystic named Kate, who is scheduled to “read our auras.” As in, take a photograph of Mandy Moore’s aura, take a photograph of my aura, and then tell us what they mean. Trust me when I say this isn’t a normal weekend activity for me. Or for Mandy, as it turns out. (“Have you ever done this before?” are the first words out of her mouth. She hasn’t, and neither have I.) It has already been one of the strangest weeks in history—the election was less than four days ago—so when the opportunity arises to interview my childhood pop icon, it feels natural to do something outside the box. I should probably be surprised when Mandy agrees to meet me, a perfect stranger, at an unfamiliar location 10 miles from her Hollywood apartment to have a silver-haired woman in palazzo pants scrutinize her spiritual character. But something about it feels like kismet. At 2 p.m. on the dot, Mandy walks through the door. Traditionally when we interview celebrities, they show up with an entourage—a publicist, a bodyguard, a gaggle of girlfriends. But Mandy arrives at Aura Shop in Santa Monica, California, alone. Our next two hours together reveal why—the woman is more earnest, more adaptable, and lower-maintenance than most people I meet in Los Angeles, famous or not. This fall, after half a decade out of the spotlight, Mandy made her big comeback as the star of NBC’s wildly popular new drama This Is Us; but her laid-back demeanor bears no sign of this. Perhaps it’s because her time off humbled her—before this season’s pickup, Mandy pursued three TV series that never made it to air. During that period, she considered changing careers. The rejection was “debilitating,” she tells me. But I get the sense that graciousness is in Mandy’s nature. Throughout our day together, I almost feel like she’s hosting me instead of the other way around. After our aura reading, she walks me to a vegan ice cream shop down the street and buys me something called Death by Chocolate. “You’re going to love it,” she says. And I do. Mandy’s beauty look reflects her authentic, self-effacing attitude. Her hair is tucked under a floppy, camel-colored hat. It’s shoulder-length and effortlessly waved. When I compliment it, she blushes. Her makeup is equally minimal—no foundation, just a trace of coral lipstick. (I make her dump out the contents of her purse at the ice cream parlor, where the secret to her pout is revealed: Linda Rodin’s Luxury Lipstick in Tough Tomato, $38, and Glossier’s Balm Dotcom, $12). Mandy is 32 now, but her skin doesn’t seem to have aged like it should have since her smash hit “Candy” dominated the radio in the late ’90s. She chalks it up to genetics—when I ask about her anti-aging routine, she’s embarrassed to admit she doesn’t have one. “I’m trying to get better,” she says. “My boyfriend [musician Taylor Goldsmith] is really good about vitamins, and just this morning I made a pact to start a vitamin routine.” Before our meeting, Mandy swallowed a veritable pharmacy of pills: vitamins C and D, fish oil, selenium, iodine, and more. “I want to have kids in the next couple years,” she says. “I always said that I want to take care of myself to the best of my ability before I venture into that phase of my life.” But even someone as low-maintenance as Mandy has her beauty vices. I spy a set of eyelash extensions, which Mandy breathlessly admits are her “most favorite thing in life.” As she explains, “I would have them a little bit longer and more glamorous if I could, but I can’t for work right now.” In the likely event that you’ve never had your aura read before, this is how it works: Mandy and I meet individually with our spiritual guru, Kate, who takes a photo of each of us. Then a computer maps out head-to-toe images of our auras and spits out two detailed reports for Kate to analyze. Ever since I first heard of aura readings, I’ve been amused by the idea but never taken it too seriously. “I promise I’m a rational, skeptical person,” I assure Mandy. “Oh, I’m rational,” she smiles, “but never skeptical.” Mandy and I compare auras: Mine is yellowish, apparently reflecting a state of knowledge and philosophical thought. Mandy’s is objectively prettier—a vibrant lavender, representing imagination and mysticism. “Are you in a period of change right now?” Kate asks her. Mandy nods, wide-eyed and attentive. Kate tells her she’s in a state of floating, needs to do something to get grounded. “Go home and write down two lists,” she says, “one of your top values in life and one of all the people you wish to forgive.” Kate pegs Mandy as an especially selfless person who needs to be careful with her heart. “You can’t give too much,” she says. “You need to have an open heart but with boundaries.” Mandy agrees, knowingly. Before we leave, Mandy thanks everyone in the shop, then does a quick spin for a crystal souvenir. “Let the crystals choose you,” Kate tells her. On the way out, Mandy drops a breezy $312 on half a dozen colorful quartzes, reminding me, if I had any doubt, that she is indeed a world-famous celebrity. With a velvet bag of crystals in our possession, Mandy and I emerge into the cool Santa Monica air. If you didn’t see Mandy Moore as the New Age–y, crystal-loving type before, don’t let our aura reading give you the wrong impression. Down the street, with a feast of plant-based ice cream before us, I ask her how much she really buys this spiritual stuff. “I appreciate all it has to offer,” she says with diplomacy. “I like to take care of myself, and I’m open to new ways of doing that.” When it comes to self-care, the only thing Mandy doesn’t buy into is doing something purely because it’s trendy. The rest is fair game. “Everything in moderation, including moderation,” she says. “I guess that’s sort of my philosophy.” By nature, Mandy is not a ritualistic person. From makeup to nutrition to fitness, her life is uninformed by routine. Sticking to a consistent exercise program is one of her current struggles, especially with the demanding schedule of This Is Us. “I love hiking, anything that keeps me outdoors,” she tells me. “But I’m also the type of person who does better in a class situation because at least there’s some accountability. I’ll cycle or I’ll do a Barry’s [Bootcamp], you know?” Rarely, though, does something in Mandy’s life root firmly enough to become a regimen. “Which is probably what my aura was saying that I need to ground myself in something,” she says, swirling her cup of ice cream. “It’s weird because I feel like so much of that aligns with being in therapy.” Mandy credits much of her mental wellness to talk therapy, which helped her through her divorce from musician Ryan Adams early last year. “A lot of what Kate said echoed stuff I heard in therapy; it’s about understanding yourself,” Mandy says. “I think that’s what all of us are truly trying to get to the core of. Who am I? What makes me tick? Why am I in these specific patterns, and how can I break them?” The night before meeting Mandy, I binged the first six episodes of This Is Us (if you have a Hulu account, I highly recommend this), in which she plays a devoted mother of triplets. Ice cream cups empty, I ask her if she’s ever felt pressure to lead a more traditional family life—marry a lawyer, have kids before 30, that sort of thing—and she answers without hesitation: “No.” Mandy says her family is “the least traditional.” “I’ve never really talked about this,” she offers, “but my parents are divorced. My mother left my father for a woman. And both of my two brothers are gay.” Growing up, Mandy’s nuclear family unit was still intact. “My parents loved each other; they did an incredible job raising all of us,” she says. It wasn’t until she and her brothers got older that their “seemingly traditional” family began to fracture. Getting married so young (she was 24 when she wed Adams in 2009) might have been a way of creating her “own kind of normalcy,” Mandy says. “Then I learned that that wasn’t going to be the fruitful experience I wanted it to be.” Today, the actress says everyone in her family is “exactly where they should be. Everyone’s so much happier, richer, and more fulfilled, being their authentic selves.” Even Mandy seems so much more at ease now, in her 30-something skin, than she did when we first met her 17 years ago. “I feel like I’m a 62-year-old in a 32-year-old’s body,” she jokes. Though Mandy says this with a laugh, I believe her. She has little nostalgia for the 15-year-old pop star we once knew. “Oh god, I was just a clueless suburban mall teenager from Orlando,” she says. “You couldn’t pay me to go back.” Lucky for Mandy, forward is exactly where she’s going. “I’m totally ready,” she says. “I can’t wait until the day when watching 60 Minutes is perfectly acceptable for my age. The aging process: I say bring it on.”

She snagged a Golden Globe nomination for This Is Us. All of those failed pilots were WORTH IT!

Mandy Moore: 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me1. I love salmon. I can keep it in the fridge and snack on it troughout the week. 2. I’m not a really proficient person in the kitchen. I keep telling myself I haven’t been in the right kitchen yet. 3. I haven’t ever had a traditional job. I started in the industry when I was 15. 4. I’m binge-watching Mindhunter on Netflix right now. 5. I don’t watch reality TV — unless you count the news! 6. My This Is Us audition was doing a scene from the pilot. So I had to waddle around with a belly full of triplets and do a faux sexy dance. It was awkward but not as awkward as the read I had to do with Milo [Ventimiglia] six weeks later, reenacting the pregnancy waddle. 7. Oddly, I felt very comfortable with Milo off the bat. 8. I don’t really love cocktails, but I do love scotch. 9. I’m a homebody. Anything that allows me to be in my own space and just sort of let the day fall off of me, I’m a big fan. 10. My job makes me exciting, but outside of that, I feel pretty middle-of-the-road. 11. I’m a fan of sour candy. On set, Milo keeps a stash of SweeTarts and Nerds. 12. I am a big aromatherapy person. I love to light candles, read a book and have a glass of wine. 13. I’m a jeans and T-shirt girl, then I throw on a blazer or leather jacket and heels. 14. I never had a plan B. I was always like, “I’m going to be an actor and a musician and that’s that.” 15. I’m a little Type A. I like things to sort of go a certain way, and I don’t know if I’m always the most malleable. 16. I’m secretly a little resentful when things don’t break my way. 17. My dream dinner guest is John Oliver. 18. I am always starstruck. This year at a pre-Emmys party, I flipped out over meeting Dolly Parton. 19. I always wash my face, no matter how tired I am. I have never been one of those girls who’s like, “I’m just going to go to bed with a full face of makeup on.” 20. My favorite song would be something by Joni Mitchell. I can’t pick! 21. My house is a place I’ve spent a lot of energy and time thinking about and planning. 22. I love this time of year because I love velvet — any excuse to bring a textured fabric into the mix. 23. When I was doing a signing, a fan came with a book of pictures of himself and a lock of his hair. Suffice it to say, I didn’t keep that. 24. I’m a big proponent of getting sleep and drinking water and just taking care of yourself. 25. I never feel great about auditions. But for some reason, I felt especially good after reading with Milo. I walked out and went, “I feel like that’s meant to be.”

Nice interview + photo shoot with Shape Magazine! Mandy Moore Is Embracing Every Change In Her LifeThe former child star has had her highs and lows, but right now she’s looking forward to all the things that come with adulting—including kids, career, and newfound confidence. By Didi Gluck | Dec 21, 2017 Mandy Moore has a fresh, bold outlook–and we're not just talking about her deep-raven strands (courtesy of Garnier, for whome she serves as hair-color ambassador). Fueled by the success of her blockbuster TV show This Is Us, Mandy is embarking on multiple personal breakthroughs that include true love, babies, and serious body pride. The superstar let us in on her evolving transformation. Family Planning“If you were to tell me two years ago that I’d be talking about my life in this way with you, I would have said that you were crazy. My life has changed exponentially in that short time. I went through a divorce. I moved out of a home that I had lived in for 14 years. I started a new relationship [she’s recently engaged to Taylor Goldsmith, front man of the indie rock band Dawes]. I’m on a show that changed everything for me. My man and I found a house and are doing renovations. When we move, I’ll feel like I finally have a place to hang my hat. We can set up the record player! I’ll know where my brown sweater is! And we can start a family, hopefully sooner rather than later, and establish our own traditions.” (Here's how to embrace change without freaking out.) Body Pride“When I was 12 or 13, I grew four inches over the summer, and I developed terrible posture because I was taller than all the guys and uncomfortable in my skin. Although I’ve become a lot more comfortable with myself—I’m 5'10" and a size 6—everyone has their self-doubts and insecurities. But as I get older, I’m learning what it takes to love myself fully through exercise, healthy eating, and monitoring my inner voice in an effort to keep it positive. By self-prioritizing, I feel healthier, more centered, and therefore more confident. I’ve come to love my height. Taylor is a bit shorter than I am, but I’ll put on those four-inch heels and be 6'2"!” Fitness Goals“I’m very close with Milo [Ventimiglia, her costar on the show]. He has always spoken highly of his trainer, Jason Walsh, so over the hiatus between seasons, I thought, I’m going to treat myself and work out with Jason. I feed off the energy, accountability, and music in a class, but if I have to drag myself to a hotel gym when I'm on location, I usually talk myself out of it. So Jason has taught me a lot of strength training that I can do on my own. Jason also created a VersaClimber class called Rise Nation, which I do whenever I can. (Yes–the stair climber is worth your time.) It’s only a half hour, but it is crazy-intense. When you’re done, you’re drenched. There’s no real endgame for me with fitness. I’ve always been the girl who goes by how my clothes fit. I don’t weigh myself—I just like to feel good in my body. Running is a challenge I’m not up for, though I am in awe of anyone who can finish a marathon. But I do want to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. That’s a bucket list item—maybe on the next hiatus. I’ve already told Taylor that I may incorporate it into the honeymoon.” Fueling Up“I’ve always had a healthy relationship with food, and I feel lucky in that regard. But I’ve adopted a greater general awareness of my diet in the last few years. I’ve begun changing what I eat and looking at food as fuel instead of as gratification or a reward. I recently had a blood test that said I had celiac disease, but after a biopsy, they determined I was just gluten intolerant, so I tend not to have it in the house. I am a huge fish fan, though. I could eat some form of salmon just about every day. My fiancé and I are big snackers. We make salmon bites by cutting up the fish, smooshing it all into balls, adding in herbs, and rolling each one in crushed cashews. Then you cook them in a pan. (Another option: these teriyaki salmon skewers.) I also love nuts, nut butter, berries, almond flour, and almond crackers. And I eat a lot of hard-boiled eggs. I don’t deprive myself; I eat well to feel good, not to look good.” A Final Reflection“Being a part of this show is my greatest accomplishment. I hope it’s a good, long ride. I feel so humbled by the magnitude of the work that I, along with all these talented actors, am lucky enough to do. It’s the once-in-a-lifetime situation that every actor hopes to find. Playing Rebecca [Mandy’s character on the show] at varying stages of her life, from her 20s to her 60s and every age in between, there’s never a day I show up and think, I’m just gonna coast. There’s always a lot of food for thought.” *** Additional shots from the photo shoot from her FB:
