Mandy Moore says she will never become a 'fuck up'

[Sweetie]

^ I think you just explained it to yourself, read your first sentence. Man, you don't have to get so ill over Mandy Moore. It will all be okay. I'm just saying she's boring and fake. You think she's smart. I get it, agree to disagree.

[MrsDark]

Not ill at all. And don't even disagree with your opinion per se, just some of the reasoning behind it. You don't have to take it personally.

I think Mandy is just more careful. I think she sees what the other girls are doing, and learning not to fall into the same trap, even if she might be just as horny or slutty like the rest of them. She don't put herself in the position for it to be exposed to the public. I guess in that way, she is smarter to be more discreet. I don't know. She comes off as someone who thinks twice before she does something, while Brit and Lindsay are like, "Let's do whatever is fun now, then think about the consequences later."

Well said pc.

And what really chaps my ass about the current crop of whores goes even further: "I will be doing everything in my power and using my money, fame, pussy, drug connections, etc. to avoid dealing with any consequences at all because I am entitled to do what I want even at the expense of others (including my own children)."

I don't think she's a good singer or actress, but she seems like an alright chick. She's purdy.

Those are hardly life-changing mistakes... bad judgement maybe, but not in a destructive way... kinda in a oh-i-can't-believe-i-dated-him/her kinda way. Like none of us have ever looked back on ppl we've dated or hooked up with and went "bleeeeech".

Her closest may have some icky ex bf's, but at least it's not filled with drug abuse, child neglect, and endless brushes with the law. Totally different.

I like her, I'm sure she is living well..no she is not well known..probably never will be...but whatever it works for her.

Mandy added: "I'm not going to walk out without my underwear on. I'm not going to stumble out of a club drunk, you know? It's just not me, it wouldn't be authentic."

So what?

Britney's just being authentic by doing what she does.

So Mandy's got more in common with her than she first thought

[MrsDark]

We're reaching here, aren't we?

By that reasoning, we've ALL got more in common with Britney than we think.

Oh my. I think I need a drink.

[TheMoog]

Hehehe Yeah....

But we know she doesn't do those things. And we know Britney does!

It's the most boring interview in the world to point out those 2 obvious things, while sounding pious in the process.

I don't get why she bothers. Can't she think of something authentic that comes from her life and hers alone to talk about?

Any time you go public saying 'Person X makes mistakes and we should judge them, and I can say this because I DON'T make mistakes' you're begging to be called a hypocrite.

It's one thing to say 'Wow, I've really learned from my Hollywood peers how easy it is to fall into a destructive lifestyle and have that exploited by the media. I try to be extra careful so that doesn't happen to me because I would be embarassed.' And QUITE ANOTHER to say "I'm by no means a goody-goody, but I'd rather be considered a goody-goody than a f**k-up. It's funny that there's so much emphasis put on that now. Their extracurricular activities are more newsworthy that anything they're really doing. I'm not going to walk out without my underwear on. I'm not going to stumble out of a club drunk, you know? It's just not me, it wouldn't be authentic."

That quote is totally passive-aggressive whinging. It's like she wants to call them out but she doesn't want to actually be <gasp> bitchy about it. The thing about talking about other celebrities is that you can do it one of two ways:
1) be gracious
2) start an all out bitchfest

If you want to go 2 you have to find a good archenemy and make it BIG, baby. Ask Rosie and Donald. Otherwise, you need to stick with being gracious.

I like Mandy. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders and it's weird but her voice to me is soothing. LOL.
