Mandy Moore is looking adorably innocent as ever in this weekend's Parade Magazine. In the interview she promotes her new album Wild Hope out June 19th. She discusses how uninterested she is in putting her life out there like the rest of the tabloid pop tarts. Mandy praises her parents for raising her right and the way she carries herself - we couldn't agree more. She also talks about the perks of being a celebrity, and not having very many friends. Here are highlights:
- On her favorite celebrity perk:
“This is so awful,” she groans. “So terrible,” she says. “But I love roller-coasters and I’m able to cut to the head of the line. It’s horrible of me. People have been waiting in line for an hour, and you put your head down and scoot ahead of them, then sit down real quick! I guess it’s still the kid in me.” - On her friends:
“I don’t really have a ton of friends,” Moore says. “My best friends, my close circle, are mostly in New York, but my brothers live with me here in L.A.—one is younger, one older—and I hang out with them a lot. But I actually like spending time by myself, and it’s not super-odd for me to go [a lot of places] by myself.”
Obviously her laid back lifestyle is working wonders for her image and her career. As for cutting in line at amusement parks, we totally don't blame her. We'd be at Disneyland all the time too if we had those kind of perks!

10She's so cute and normal, i'm glad there's still celebs like this around.

13The more I see her the more I like her
14I think she is beautiful, and her body is fine.

Love her! Cant wait to see Parade this weekend.
18I can't believe people would call her fat. I think she's so cute and seems super nice.
19Ha ha - that title should say "it's not bad being built like a tank, totally out of shape, and woefully unable to pick out clothing that flatters my unfortunate figure"
seriously though - is she hiding a small town of people under that purple frock?!?!
20love her purple dress !
and how could ppl call her fat ?! she`s normal , thats what she is !
~i could see us holdin hands
21walkin on the beach our toes in the sand...~

23darkntwisty.... What is so fat about her??????? Like seriously I am more then willing to listen to your opinion.
..If you see us in the club we'll be acting real nice
24if you see us on the floor you'll be watchin all night..
shes so cute
25fat? You gotta be kidding me!
26Thats what I was thinking. HOW IS SHE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED FAT??
I don't see it at all. Maybe we are looking at different pictures.

Most evident is the fact that these photos are HEAVILY photoshopped. We just saw pics of her the other day on the street and her milky cankles were just gross. Her thighs and lower legs are woefully out of shape and way more blobby white than these pics pretend. I'm sure she WISHES she looked like these pictures!!!
28"Woefully out of shape" is such an exaggeration. Remember, we all saw those pictures too! She is a normal and healthy weight. She might not be super toned or "skinny", but I don't think most people care.
29I agree with everyone else out there--she seems like she has it all together. She's got her personal life and her public life, which is not always the case with some celebrities. I don't think she is nearly as popular as Britney Spears, which may not be a bad thing. I sometimes think that because she likes to have her life private, she comes off as a bit snooty sometimes.
30She looks pregnant in the first picture but she's so down to earth, I like her. I don't like that color of yellow, it's mustard? I think that's why it's throwing the dress style off.
31Wow so much hate for a normal girl. I'll take MM over uninspiring Paris and her BFF Nicole Richie, orangey LL, and M-K and Ashley. Cheers to MM for being down to earth and confident in who she is.
32I adore her! And I love that she's not a starving twig. She's beautiful.
33Yay, I *heart* her so.
Its nice to see grounded girls like her who haven't lost their sanity (or panties).
The only conclusion I can come to about why some girls are calling her fat is one of two things:
1. To stir up crap even though they know she's not; or
342. They need to visit the eye doctor.
Well - i did respond but my post got removed - I guess someone at Pop is a little sensitive about the subject of stay-at-home moms. God forbid if we all don't have homogenous opinions on here!!
35:LMAO:
36I agree with Mellisa Rae.
37My post got removed too! Wtf??
"Aint nobody out there swift like this."
38Everyone is entitled to their opinion but we do not want attacks on users!
39Despite all her smiles, I get the feeling like this girl is very unhappy deep down. Don't know why, maybe its her perpetual stone face in any picture that's not posed or with her current bf.
40I think she's cute. But a better actress than singer
41She's just so darn cute!
42I never thought I was say this about a celebrity--especially one I was never too wild about--but she actually reminds me of myself (not the celebrity perk bit, but the bit about her friendships).
43I so lover her.
44-r lol
45I love that pink dress and Mandy is so sweet and unique..
46luv her and cute dress
47don't know much about her , haven't seen a movie with her and her past albums I didn't really like but she seems so nice and grounded, and I don't find her fat at all. Just because she's not skin and bones like more than half of the other celebrities her age doesn't mean she's fat....means she has something else more than the other ones have and that is brain
48I think she's so pretty and I love the fact that I've never seen her crotch.
49HAHAHAAA!!! mels, that is SO FUNNY. I wasn't expecting it!
