Mandy Moore MMOORECAST040107_15_X17.jpg

Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams have split, a rep for the rocker confirms to OK! Magazine.

Adams told the magazine,

"Mandy is one of those genuinely sweet angelic people you wish to meet your whole life. I am grateful for our friendship and how it allowed us both to grow and learn more."


He could have left it at that, but instead, Adams rambled on:

"Unfortunately I am allergic to paparazzi and have found the best antidote to that sort of nonsense is staying behind the guitar and typewriter, staying close to my support group of friends and band mates and not engaging in activities that prevent me from taking care of myself or others. I found the entire speculation and subsequent photographs and intrusions terrifying and only wish to live as normal a life as possible, so that I might always remain punk as f*ck AND sober. Also, I just want to jam. Plus I like metal A LOT."


Uhh, was that last statement necessary? We're not entirely convinced that he's sober, and though he is a douchebag, he's certainly not punk! What does any of that have to do with the breakup? Sounds like someone wanted a little space to self promote and whine about how hard his life is!

We know Mandy can find a better guy than this! Who do you think she should date next?
