Ryan Adams & Mandy Moore Get Engaged

thumbnail icon: Ryan Adams & Mandy Moore Get Engaged

It's on again for the on again/off again couple of musician/actress Mandy Moore and musician/blogger Ryan Adams, E! confirms. Ry recently quit smoking, and by his own admission is "happy, for the first time in my life." I always imagined Mandy to be a positive, stable influence on wild Dr. Adams, so awww. Their reunion was revealed last week when Ryan posted then removed photos of them together on the Cardinal Cave blog. Dr. Adams also posted "I guess congratulations are in order!" earlier today; that post has also been removed. But don't rule out live tweets from the honeymoon (that sounds dirty). Congrats, kids.

Alright, I'm not one to bitch about it, but this seriously smacks of just tabloid rubbish. Come on.

I mean, he's not even musician anymore, apparently.

For a good time you should listen to Mandy's intro to her cover of Umbrella--apparently she's not that into "Top 40" music: http://music.yahoo.com/promo-42778155-53-20070813-

Which is a good point, I've always felt that her album "So Real" is a tragically overlooked indie classic.

this is amazing to hear. he seemed so miserable from his blog this summer talking and shit about how he thinks he's just one of those people who is gonna end up alone forever. nice to see he's found happiness.

I will once again take it upon myself to bring up the topic of the celebrity couple name.

It's clear that it can be nothing other than "Randy Madams".

Yeah, weren't he and Juliana just wearing matching rings on their left hands and blogging about being "married to happiness" together in October?

When Juliana blogged about being treated for anorexia she talked about how she had split up with someone recently because of her condition. I guess it was Ryan. Shame, because I like Juliana more than Mandy, music-wise at least.

The mind baffles, too. Mandy seems like a lovely woman but my God she has questionable taste in men. Wilmer Valderrama? Zach Braff? Ryan Adams... again? Makes me wonder if she has daddy issues.

Thanks for that. I was trying to remember some of the other douches she's been with, but couldn't think of any off the top of my head.

Don't forget Mandy's also dated Andy Roddick, weren't they engaged at one point?

it's a shame hes ''happy,'' he makes better music when he isn't.

I dunno, I was hoping he'd take a Jason Mraz/Gavin DeGraw kind of feel on his next album.

Regardless, it won't be long before she breaks it off and starts going out with me again.

I wish she'd at least stop texting me when they're out.

I love when people talk about how much they dont care about something or someone, and how lame it is and then they spend ten minutes posting comments on it....

Jesus Christ, people, calm the fuck down. These kids are getting married, and I for one am happy for/not pissed at them for doing so. It's not as if Scott Stapp is getting hitched to the current lineup of the Pussycat Dolls.

Geez, why does everyone hate Ryan Adams? I know he used to be a douche but he knows too and he has changed a lot in the past few years. His music (except Cardinology) is amazing.

It's funny how "happy, for the first time in my life." which are lyrics off his new CD are suddenly being taken as a quote on how he feels about his relationship.

Parker Posey is hotter.
