February 26, 2003 - Mandy Moore gave fans an update on what she's been up to recently. She told fans on her official website on Tuesday, "Last week was crazy. This week is shaping up to be crazy. Help me lol! Looks like the next couple of months are going to be mayhem. Who knows? When it rains, it pours i guess. It seems like just yesterday that I was complaining of restlessness and the need to get 'working' again. I was bored with staying at home and only recording. 
Well, to fill you in: last week I shot a big InStyle magazine piece, the cover of Seventeen, hours of ADR for 'How to Deal' (glad you guys are liking the trailer by the way), a charity meet and greet, daily recording, meetings with directors, auditions (which terrify me --- I just came home from one for a BIG MOVIE), and trying to drag my butt to the gym everyday." And it doesn't stop there. Read more.

February 10, 2003 - The cruel comments from Mandy Moore fans on her official site continued this weekend with a "fan" -- who has over 4,000 posts on the forum -- stating: "Mandy, now that your music career is dwindling, your movie career failed to make the big splash as you hoped for, and with your ignorance and inconsiderate words have alienated some of your more hardcore fans. Do you have any plans on leaving the spotlight behind and go make something of yourself and start higher education, so you can actually make useful of yourself?" Mandy responded, "How can people say such hateful things? What does that accomplish? How does it make you feel? Although some of you assume I think so highly of myself... believe me: words hurt. I never meant to anger anyone and hurt anyone's feelings.... Especially people that work hard on this board like Ms. Angela. I've simply read too many posts like this, Ben, that make me want to tell my side of the story." Read her full comments and others' responses here.

February 8, 2003 - Mandy Moore responded to a fan's inquiry about the status of her new album. Mandy said, "Hmmm lucky I was lurking 'round here to find just the question I wanted to address... I'm sure by now you all have heard about the 'concept' of the new album. In my opinion... It's very exciting and I don't regard it as a 'mistake' as some of you have referred to it as. Believe me, it was a very thought-out idea and eventually choice. I'm sure many of the songs we have recorded, some/most of you haven't heard of before. anywho... We have 9 songs done at this time. I've been in the studio for the past 6 days and done 1, sometimes 2 songs a day. One Cat Steven's song was done in 40 minutes... Hehe. I LOVE the way the record sounds at this point... Fluid, yet every song has a different and concise direction... Jazzy, acoustic, 70's funk, etc... Can't wait to get you some samples. until then.... We'll see ya." Read more.
