March 25, 2003 - Mandy Moore was on the Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn on Monday where she interviewed and performed. During her rehearsal on Monday, she had a strange accident with her ear monitor. "I, of course, went to the rest room wearing it still and fell in the toilet... I didn't fall in. Rather, the actual pack fell in the toilet," Mandy explained. "I took the ear pieces off and the back of the thing fell in the toilet." Did she try to catch it? "I just heard the plop and felt the splash from the toilet. And it wasn't -- I hadn't gone to the bathroom yet, thankfully, but it was a little embarrassing. And I felt bad because we were standing there trying to dry it with a hair dryer." Mandy performed without the earpiece.

Hello from Miami and home of Spring Break '03. I just arrived today but I'm very ready to go home at this point. The past few days have been very rough on my family and I'm not really in a partying mood. My grandma is in the hospital after suffering from a heart attack and pneumonia. It's beyond wierd to visit someone you know in a hospital (they freak me out). I don't even know why I'm writing on the message board about this. Maybe it's because I'm so close with my gram and she's the one who always encouraged me to sing growing up and believed in me before anyone else. If you could keep her in your prayers, I'd be grateful. Thanks guys. xoxox, Mandy." Send your best wishes here.

March 8, 2003 - Mandy Moore was quizzed about her earlier comments that she was a singer first only to tell Movieline that "I feel more like an actress than a musician." Moore candidly stated, "Ahhh, again something is misunderstood by some... hehe. Here's the deal: My comment had nothing to do with what I feel more commited to... music or films. Music has my heart and is my number one priority, love, and passion. but, since 'Walk' came out over a year ago, people have had more of an awarness of me and my efforts in film. It's very accurate to admit that I have had more success in my film ventures than music. Hell... no one heard 'Mandy Moore' and I'm still pretty damn proud of it. Most people know me more as an actress, then as a singer. It has been an adjustment and quite frustrating in a sense, as I have always voiced my love of being a recording artist. We'll hafta see what the future holds... I am hoping the new record will mold most people's perception of my career."
