“I am absolutely heartbroken. For those of us lucky enough to have known him, Adam radiated a contagious exuberance for life and also personified the very definition of a true friend. To say that he will be missed beyond words is an understatement. My heart goes out to his loved ones.”

- Mandy Moore speaks out about the death of her ex-boyfriend, DJ AM.

The folks at Funny or Die sent this clip over of Mandy Moore doing a spoof ad for Red Bull Douche:  two of Beet’s favorites — Red Bull and Mandy Moore.  I have no idea how she feels about douches.  

I cannot tell a lie:  I thought Mandy was fairly entertaining which is, you know, out of character for her.  Could the most annoying M&M ever be growing on me?

I know we’ve got some Mandy lovers around here, so even though I’ve recently decided that listening to her is akin to chewing on tin foil, here is the audio of her new song, “Everblue.”  The new, mature me realizes that we don’t have to all like the same things and if chewing on tin foil makes you happy, you should have such joy in your life.  So, chew away!  enjoy!

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.

“I found myself in the company of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, who had really quality music, much more so than mine. I’m sure there are people scratching their heads, going ‘Wow, how is she still around?’”

Total suckfest Mandy Moore, talking about her career in the late ’90s to Details magazine. Mandy also swears a bunch and takes off a lot of her clothes for the piece, which exists to promote her new album, Amanda Leigh, where she claims she’s doing music she really believes in. I’m sure that means it’ll suck even more than her past albums.

When I posted two days ago about DJ AM cheating death again, you know-the story TMZ posted today as “breaking news”, a few commenters got on this whole “things happen in threes,” deal.  And you were right.

He cheated death once, last September.  The second close call was just a few weeks ago.  And I really consider his ex, Mandy Moore, marrying Ryan Adams yesterday as dodging a serious bullet.

So there you go!  He’s had his three brushes with death and now can go on to live a happy and healthy life.  Rejoice!

Since we know Beet despises Mandy Moore with the heat of a thousand suns, and she probably spontaneously combusted when she heard the news, I’ll take this one.

Mandy Moore is now engaged to on and off musician boyfriend, Ryan Adams.  They dated, broke up, she re-hooked up with DJ AM after his near-fatal plane crash.  Moore and Adams broke up the first time because he claimed to be allergic to the paparazzi.  I’m not sure what’s changed but now they are back on in a big, marrying sort of way.

Congrats to the happy couple!
