Mandy Moore, who was quietly married to rockstar Ryan Adams in Savannah, GA last month, is featured in the new issue of Details magazine (the one with Eric Bana on the cover) showing off just how much she’s grown up in the past few years. In this new issue, Mandy shows off her sultry, sexy side in what can only be described as her attempt to continue distancing herself from her good girl, squeaky clean, I’m missing you like Candy image. Here is one of Mandy’s new Details photos and the mag’s short interview with her:

Mandy Moore is wearing motorcycle boots. The detail certainly qualifies as strange. As she settles into a booth at a dimly lit Hollywood diner, the kind of greasy spoon where musicians nurse hangovers, it’s immediately apparent that Moore is not the preppy good girl you were expecting—nor the wholesome Neutrogena spokesperson, nor the milquetoast star of bland movie fare, nor the erstwhile nineties pop-tart who’s remained a professional cutie ever since. Her incongruous footwear is accompanied by a flowered vintage frock, a baggy cardigan, and black tights, and her short, layered hair is just-woke-up mussed. She orders a basket of fries and a chocolate shake, then says, “It’s okay to have a milk shake. . . . It is! Whatever! Who fucking cares?”—she’ll repeat that last phrase often. In Hollywood, where everyone is cleaning up his or her image, Mandy Moore seems to be set on giving hers a few rougher edges. To be sure, vestigial hints of her Girl Scout persona remain. Before eating her fries, Moore, who lives nearby in Los Feliz, daubs her hands with lavender-infused sanitizer. “I’m a germ-phobe when I meet a lot of people or shake a lot of hands. I always have hand sanitizer and alcohol swabs,” she says, “so I can sort of go back and forth between the two.” She explains that she added alcohol swabs to her handbag when her “best girlfriend,” a publicist for Coach (”you know, the handbag company”), informed her that “you can build up an immunity to the antibacterial stuff—and I was like, Oh, perfect.” In the process of disinfecting, Moore removes her conspicuous engagement ring, an enormous tear-shaped diamond—a gift, the world now knows, from Ryan Adams, whose indie cred can be measured in numerous reports of his substance abuse and onstage tantrums. It’s hard not to wonder, of course, what role Adams might have played in Moore’s alt-chick reinvention.

Awww … I love it. Mandy has started wearing her husband’s clothes. Except for the fact that she’s a wee bit taller than he is, I bet Mandy and Ryan are pretty much the same size. It’s a shame that the mag doesn’t offer any photos of Mandy wearing her new “alt-chick” clothing — but they do offer a few more photos of Mandy in her undies from the magazine’s photospread. After the jump, check them out …

Ever since the pair got hitched in a secret wedding ceremony in Savannah, GA last month, Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams have been lying as low as possible. When the newlyweds made their first arrival in SoCal as a married couple, Mandy did her best to try and hide the wedding ring on her finger … thinking, apparently, if we can’t see the ring then we wouldn’t know about the secret wedding her rep confirmed weeks ago. Today we get to see a couple new pics of happily married (we hope) R-Andy M-Adams out and about together here in SoCal yesterday … keeping as much distance from one another as possible:

Um, guys … we know, you’re married, the secret’s out. While I think they made a really cute couple, I think they’d look even cuter if they pretended that they were actually together. Nonetheless, I’m very happy that they’ve found love with one another :) These two have to be my fave new married couple of the year … even if they pretend they don’t know one another.

Mandy Moore and new hubby Ryan Adams, who were wed a couple of weeks ago in a secret ceremony in Savannah, GA, made their way to SoCal this past weekend for the first time as Mr. and Mrs. R-Andy M-Adams. Upon arrival at LAX Airport, Mandy quickly shoved her left hand into her jeans pocket in order to try hide her wedding ring but, invariably, ended up letting the ring show anyway:

I’m not entirely sure why she felt the need to try and hide her ring. Her spokesperson confirmed the news that she and Ryan got married so it’s not really a secret. She really shouldn’t be scared by the rock that she’s got … she should proudly show that thing off! I’m still having a bit of a difficult time accepting that Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams actually got married … especially considering the long list of women that Ryan has been attached to over the years (Parker Posey, Leona Naess, Winona Ryder and on and on). But finally it was sweet little Mandy (who has a substantial list of exes of her own — Andy Roddick, Wilmer Valderrama, Zach Braff, DJ AM) who ended up winning his heart, tamed the savage beast and got him to say I Do. They do make a cute couple (tho, I’ve always been pulling for Ryan and Leona Naess to end up together … they both seems so perfectly jaded together). I really hope they’ll be making beautiful music together for many, many years to come.

Mandy Moore, who just recently got hitched to alt rocker Ryan Adams, has unveiled the new look of her official website and, in the process, unveiled the new cover artwork for her new album Amanda Leigh. Last month, Mandy announced that her new disc would be released on May 26 … and today we get to see what the album’s artwork will look like:

Very pretty, great cover. While I’m still having a bit of a hard time seeing Mandy as a married woman (and to Ryan Adams, no less), I am seeing her as a mature woman on this album cover. I really enjoyed her last album, Wild Hope, and I’m guessing that Amanda Leigh (her full name) will be a continuation of that album. Her music has grown so much from the sugar-pop she gave us back in the day … she’s deffo grown into a Little Woman ;) The album is available for presale on iTunes already … I know I can’t wait to hear it for myself. What do y’all think … do you like this coverphoto?

It would seem that congratulations are in order for Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams … according to a good friend of mine (and a fine Southern gentleman), the couple got hitched yesterday in Savannah, GA!

As you may recall, we heard last month that the couple were planning to be wed but … I’m not sure anyone expected it to happen so soon. Honestly, tho, I can’t say that I’m surprised that R-Andy M-Adams went ahead and did the deed on the sly. Now, this news of the the couple’s nuptials is still unconfirmed but something tells me that this might be the real deal. In anticipation of a confirmation of their marriage, I’d like to send out much love and congrats to the happy couple!

UPDATE: Reps for Mandy and Ryan confirm the wedding. Woot!!

Mandy Moore, who we learned this past Wednesday is newly engaged to be with with rocker Ryan Adams, paid a visit to The Bonnie Hunt Show to tape a new interview (set to air today, check local listings) which was her first since news came out of her plans to get hitched. Bonnie, ever the interviewer with her fingers firmly on the pulse, was among the first to congratulate R-Andy M-Adams on their impending nuptials:

From the press release: Talk show host Bonnie Hunt welcomes Mandy Moore to talk about her new album and asks about her recent engagement to rocker Ryan Adams, on “The Bonnie Hunt Show” airing Friday, February 13 (syndicated / log on to bonniehunt.com for stations and times). Bonnie congratulates Mandy on her recent engagement and tells her, “I am really excited for you.” Smiling Mandy says, “Thank you, I appreciate it. I am very happy.” “Well you’ve earned your happiness,” Hunt responds. “It’s nice to find someone who has his own thing going on and share your happiness together.” “Absolutely. That’s what it is all about. You have to be complete first and foremost yourself.”

Aww … again, I am so happy for Mandy and Ryan … while I thought they made a very odd pair when I first heard that they were together early last year, the notion of the two of them together is a very sweet one. Ryan is such an incredibly talented artist … I can see how someone like Mandy could inspire him to create amazing art. I really wish nothing but the best to the both of them for a long and happy life together. I’m a fan of them individually and now I’m a really big fan of them together :) Make sure you tune in to The Bonnie Hunt Show to watch Mandy beam about her new engagement to Ryan.

Life & Style magazine is reporting that Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams, who dated for part of 2008 and then broke up after media scrutiny about the pair intensified once word of their relationship got out, are now engaged to be wed. The magazine cites “a close friend of Mandy’s” with spilling the news. If the magazine is correct, then it looks like R-Andy M-Adams are not only together again — but they are gettin’ hitched!

Mandy Moore and her singer-songwriter boyfriend, Ryan Adams, are engaged, a close friend of Mandy’s tells Life & Style. Mandy, 24, and Ryan, 34, who have been on and off since last March, were spotted grocery shopping in LA yesterday — and Mandy was sporting a ring on her engagement finger! “She is so excited about their engagement but admits it’s been a whirlwind. She’s really happy,” the friend tells Life & Style. Mandy was most recently linked to ex-boyfriend DJ AM after running to be with him following the plane crash he endured with Travis Barker in September. Mandy and AM called it quits in December. Shortly after, Mandy returned to her now-fiancé, Ryan. A rep for Mandy declined to comment.

While I don’t necessarily believe these sorts of reports right off the bat … the fact that Mandy’s rep declined to comment seems fishy. Generally when reports like this are not true, the reps say so. HMMM. Oh, and for the record, the above photo is from last summer when the pair started going out together in public. I would not be surprised at all if Mandy and Ryan decided to get hitched. Firstly, it was widely believed that Ryan nicknamed Mandy “bug” and used that name when he talked about her or to her on his now defunct blog … then, he dedicated his book of poetry Infinity Blues to “bug”. Mandy has started blogging on her official site and there are pictures of Ryan interspersed in her personal pics … Ryan, too, has started blogging again on the Cardinals official website and, lo and behold, Mandy shows up in various photos there as well. At the very least, we know they’re hanging out together again … is it really so hard to think they might be gettin’ hitched?

UPDATE: Woot! It’s official! Mandy’s rep is now confirming that YES she and Ryan Adams are engaged to be wed. Congrats!! I can’t wait to see those wedding photos.
