Mandy MooreMandy Moore Leaves Pop Songs In Her PastSinger/actress Mandy Moore is desperately trying to distance herself from her pop star past by recording intensely personal songs on her new album. Although her first two albums sold more than 1.5 million copies, the star claims she is embarrassed by her early recordings. She tells Jane magazine, "I feel bad that people wasted their money on such trite, blah pop music." The 22-year-old has written about her break-up with Scrubs star Zach Braff, as well as songs about her own self-discovery. She adds, "If it were a non-celebrity making this record, the buzz would be that this girl is the real deal."

Mandy Moore Reveals a SecretMandy Moore, the successful singer turned actress, said she has been battling depression. In an interview with Jane Magazine that will hit newsstands next week she revealed, "A few months ago I felt really low, really sad. Depressed for no reason. I'm a very positive person, and I've always been glass-half-full, so it was like someone flipped a switch in me. I wanted to figure out why." The 22 year old also was critical of some of her earlier music that she had released, she said, "I feel bad that people wasted their money on such trite, blah pop music." She co-stars in an upcoming movie with Diane Keaton later this year called "Because I Said So." Moore has had some relationship troubles of late, breaking up with actor Zach Braff and tennis star Andy Roddick. "The breakup added to what I was going through, but it's not the complete reason,” Moore said of her recent breakup with Braff. Braff also said he may have a mild of depression (maybe its contagouis). Mandy Moore Talks About Her Ghost Encounter(CBS) NEW YORK 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. Mandy Moore Braved Revealing Kitchen ScenesPop star Mandy Moore faced two of her greatest fears in new movie Because I Said So - she had to strip to her underwear and look good in the kitchen. The Saved star credits co-stars like Lauren Graham and Diane Keaton for helping her overcome her first lingerie film scenes, and a last-minute cookery class to help her come to terms with life in the kitchen. She explains, "There were a few of us who were a little bit nervous about being in our underwear on the big screen and having it all sort of out there. "I kept going back and forth between, 'Do I want to use a body double? Was I just gonna go for it?' "Finally, in the end, one for all, we went in together. If Lauren and Diane were all for doing it then I was gonna do it. "As for the kitchen scenes, it was a challenge for me to try to come across like I knew my way around the kitchen and I had skills. "I'm terrible with food. I can make eggs. I can't make a grilled cheese sandwich; I always end up burning it or the cheese isn't melted enough, so I had a lot of work to do to make it look accurate."
