Mandy Moore has dated several fellow stars, but she found her latest love interest outside the Hollywood scene: He’s an artist named Andre. “She is really into him and loves that he’s not famous,” says a pal.

Ever since the unlikely pair — she’s three inches taller — met at a party two months ago, they’ve been inseparable. “They don’t go out late and both like being at home. She also loves that he’s down-to-earth,” the friend says. “She glows when she talks about Andre.”

The 24-year old was last linked to singer Ryan Adams, but broke up with him in early July. “She really loved Ryan but he was very immature,” the pal says. Mandy and Andre were spotted departing from LAX together on August 24.

Hollywood good girl Mandy Moore is the latest celebrity to be dating grungy rocker Ryan Adams, according to U.S. reports.

“Ryan and Mandy have been dating for months,” an insider told InTouch magazine.

Ryan has previously dated a string of glamorous actresses, most famously Winona Ryder and Parker Posey. But he has not been seen much with Mandy because friends say he hates all the attention.

“He hates all of the Hollywood type stuff or being photographed,” the insider said.

I don’t know, but I think Ryan is a little indie-grunge-ish for Mandy.

What do you think?

Mandy Moore says, “I won’t ever do men’s magazines… I don’t understand the point of putting myself out there, as a woman. It’s not something I feel comfortable with. I don’t understand what you’re selling or what I would get out of it.”

Mandy Moore rules out disrobing for a men’s magazine.

Facing an arena of screaming fans or a room full of movie critics – child’s play. But taking a trip by yourself? Now that’s scary, says Mandy Moore.

“I was always kind of terrified of going on vacation alone,” the 23-year-old actress told Reuters at the launch of uPumpItUp.com, a Web site aimed at helping women balance their busy lives. “The thought really scared me, but I wanted to push past that bruise and do it anyway.”

So how was it? “I ended up having the most incredible time,” she gushed. “It was so peaceful, not having to answer to anyone or take anybody else’s opinions into account. It is empowering, and it’s such a simple thing to do.”

Empowerment-made-easy: That’s the goal of the new Web site, where women can share their stories and tips.

“We all struggle with finding time for ourselves between family and friends and work and all those other obligations, and we neglect ourselves,” Moore said. “Having that sense of balance in life between personal and all that other stuff is kind of essential to leading a happy life.”

In the past, the performer has admitted to battling depression after the 2006 break-up of her relationship with Zach Braff. She has also dated tennis player Andy Roddick and actor Wilmer Valderrama.

These days, she’s focusing more on herself. The License to Wed star said she’s taken a tip from uPumpItUp to compliment one person each day. She also plans to take cooking classes and blog about her experiences.

But first, she’s traveling to Australia and – no worries – this time she’ll have company: She’s playing a few concert dates with Kelly Clarkson.
