Mandy Moore to Appear with Bill Clinton at Brown University this April!

Mandy Moore joins another social initiative as she teams up with former U.S. president Bill Clinton at Brown University this April. 

Taking part in the Clinton Global Initiative University's third annual conference, Mandy and the former president join special guests John Podesta from the Center for American Progress and former Olympic speed-skater Joey Cheek. Based on the model of the Clinton Global Initiative, the event brings students together to meet with non-governmental organizations and college presidents to proactively take part in the discussion on social change. 

Like Mandy Moore, entrants are "doers" who come "well-equipped." Brown students like Helen Mou, do even more than that, co-founding the Sustainability Consulting Partnership, a student-run, student-volunteered consulting organization that helps for-profit and non-profit business partners with their sustainable goals. 

For advocates of social change like Mandy Moore, the willingness of students to solve problems in education, environment and climate change, peace and human rights, poverty alleviation and public health makes a huge difference. "It's encouraging in every way...that (students) would want to do this," says fellow veteran advocate, Ted Widmer. It "deepens our already existing relationship with (the initiative.)"

Way to go, Mandy!

Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams Contribute to Jesse Malin and The St. Marks Social!

It should be assumed that any friend of rocker Ryan Adams would have to bear a certain sort of moxie. Take fellow musician, Jesse Malin. Dubbed by Paste Magazine as a "rough, whiskey-bar-slaying solo artist," Malin earned popular acclaim for his work with East Coast supergroup, D Generation.

A fan of the artist in his glam-punk days, Ryan Adams gave Malin's career a new direction as the acclaimed rocker agreed to produce his debut album. A first for the multi-talented Ryan, "The Fine Art of Self Destruction," ultimately yielded Malin's first major success as the British press hailed the debut as one of the year's finest.

Many songs and many tours later, we couldn't be happier to discover 42 year old Jesse Malin's latest work. Coming full circle, Malin works with Ryan Adams and his beloved, songstress Mandy Moore on his latest album, "Love it to Life." Recorded with Malin's new band, The St. Marks Social, the new album is all "ragged, guitar sing-alongs a'la The Hold Steady or Ryan Adams's "Rock N Roll," states Paste Magazine in a recent article.

As for Mandy Moore? Mandy "sang some nice, sweet harmonies on a few songs," says Malin.

Don't wait to check out this incredible album!

Mandy Moore Launches New Blog for GlaxoSmithKline!

Mandy Moore is back on the wellness trail as she debuted a new blog devoted to promoting awareness of cervical cancer.

Featured on GSK's MoreThanMedicine website, Mandy kicks off the blog with a shout-out to GCF's Reality Check campaign in honor of Cervical Health Awareness Month. Noting the importance of staying vigilant against the second leading cause of cancer death among women, ages 19 to 30, Mandy promises to "educate young women" and help them "protect" themselves "now and for the future."

"Like many young women, I didn't realize that I was at risk for cervical cancer," she says. "I also didn't really know just how important it is to maintain my cervical health-for so many reasons." She goes on to note, "I'm determined to help get the word out to young women that we have the power to help protect ourselves from cervical cancer! Women shouldn't have to suffer from cervical cancer when there are things we can do to help prevent this disease."

We couldn't agree more!
