I never understood Beet’s dislike for Mandy Moore but I’m starting to get it.  She — Mandy, that is — is kind of an idiot.

In a new People magazine interview, and I don’t know why they are talking to her to begin with –some nonsense about a new album she’s releasing that no one is going to buy — like zOMG, Mandy just can’t believe she got married!  “It still feels not entirely real. Things are wonderful, and there’s such a peaceful settledness [She couldn't have said "contentment"?] 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!’  I’m enjoying life, but I was enjoying it before [marriage] too.  It’s not like, ‘Oh, my life is complete now.’ I just have this extra incredible bonus of my best friend in the whole world, getting to spend every day with him.”  Don’t you just want to scream right now?  Have you reached your MM quota for the year day?

Yes, Mandy.  The rest of the world can’t believe it either.  They also can’t believe there was someone out there who was willing to marry your completely irritating ass.

Of course they broke up again.  Travis Barker and Shana Moakler need to take note.  Because even if you skid off a runway and have critical burns and almost die, it doesn’t make you any more compatible with an ex.  I don’t know why people think near death experiences are a sign from God to go recommit the same mistakes.  Like He sits up there saying “I’m giving you this second chance at life so you can fail, yet again, at the same relationship.”

I am happy to report that DJ AM is now dating some American Apparel model chick which hopefully will thwart any future reconciliation attempts with that other one.

Yes, this is Mandy Moore from seven years ago, but I can’t pass by an opportunity when I see the two most irritating women in Hollywood in the same picture.  I’m not that strong.

I think I’m the only Mandy Moore fan on this site, though it’s hard to keep track of the shifting alliances around here. Anyway, according to those tireless Page 6 bastards she’s broken up with DJ AM.

A few thoughts on Mandy Moore. I think she’s cute. And in general I’ve liked her recent movies. No, not the one where she dies, I don’t have a learning disability, the one with Hugh Grant.

In interviews she seems fun too. So why the hell is she dating a DJ? Sure, I’m hopelessly out of touch, but in my world DJs are meant for weddings and weddings alone. You don’t date them. I guess I’m saying I’d still hit that. Mandy, be a bud!

Joe Francis is kind enough to voice his opinion on the sexual strengths and weaknesses of young Hollywood, with Paris Hilton in a commanding lead. He also manages to plug ParisExposed about ten times, which is quite the favor for a website he claims to despise. Turn the other cheek, eh, Joe? [TMZ]

For what it’s worth, National Enquirer is reporting that Nick & Vanessa are engaged. [The Bosh]

Dude, I’d be depressed if I was wearing an orange jumper too. Can we please talk about those shoes? Mandy, you are a young woman. I know that you are really mature for your age but that doesn’t mean that you can wear granny shoes. I know it is cold in Sundance but the “Frigid Bitch” look is so 2002.

Before we begin, I want to thank Evil T for doing a kick-ass job of holding this place down while I was out of town. She is a total rock star, and I have no idea what I’d do without her. Thanks T! Now, on to the links …
