Alexandra Cousteau Joins Mandy Moore in World Water Day Briefing

During a trip to Capitol Hill last Tuesday, Mandy Moore joined Alexandra Cousteau in a briefing with lawmakers for World Water Day.

The briefing, called "The Ripple Effect of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene on Global Health and Development, brought to attention the growing water crisis, as supporters like Mandy Moore and Alexandra Cousteau shared their diverse knowledge on the important issue.

"During my travels, I can't tell you how many people have come up to me saying, 'Alexandra, water is life,'" Cousteau said.  

The granddaughter of famed French explorer Jacque Cousteau, Alexandra Cousteau is a Georgetown-educated environmentalist and a National Geographic Emerging Explorer for the Class of 2008. A well-known conservation advocate, Cousteau is a supporter of restoration and sustainable water management. 

In 2008, Cousteau established the Blue Legacy organization to help protect the Earth's oceans. Exploring critical water issues across the globe, the organization began its first initiative with an intercontinental journey known as Exploration Blue Planet. Returning in 2009, the organization kicked off the Blue Action Dialogues, to develop an annual platform for future initiatives. Marking all-new venture, Cousteau and Blue Legacy celebrate yet another accomplishment with the release of Cousteau's upcoming book, "This Blue Planet." 

To date, Cousteau can be seen with her brother, Phillipe, Jr, on Discovery Channel's Blue August. She can can also be found on Planet Green as Chief Correspondent on Water Issues.

Mandy Moore Admits to Nervousness over World Water Day Address in D.C.

During a trip to Capitol Hill on World Water Day, Mandy Moore admitted to feeling a general sense of nervousness over a planned address to lawmakers.

"It's overwhelming, but I would say there are probably more nerves attached to doing something like this than my regular day job," Mandy confessed to Yeas & Nays Tuesday.

In spite of her nerves, Mandy delivered a powerful message as she plied members of Congress to support access to safe, clean water and improved sanitation in the developing world. She met lawmakers including Senator John Kerry, and Representatives Earl Blumenauer and Jim McGovern. 

"Here on Capitol Hill, it's pretty hard for us to imagine what it's like to face illness every time we are thirsty, but it's a reality in Southern Sudan," said Mandy. "It is an overwhelmingly tragic situation but the good news is we can do something about it."

Mandy Moore Squares Off Against Cervical Cancer on NYC's PIX 11

In conjunction with the Gynecological Cancer Foundation's new Reality Check campaign, Mandy Moore appeared on New York City's PIX 11 Morning News recently to raise awareness of cervical cancer.

Sporting a white blouse and black skirt combo, Mandy looked lovely on set as she discussed facts and explained her reasons for supporting the national campaign.

Emphatic in her desire to encourage women to be "proactive in protecting their cervical health," Mandy spoke candidly as she noted that being a young woman was reason enough to encourage her to take a stand against the devastating disease.

Calling it "one of the preventable cancers," Mandy instructed women to take control. "Whether or not you are planning on having children now or later in life," she added, "it is essential to take care of your cervix."

Mandy Moore Discusses Resolutions, Romance, and More on Joy Behar

Mandy Moore hit the talk show circuit with last night's appearance on HLN's hit Joy Behar Show. Discussing her recent Shape Magazine cover, Mandy responded to questions regarding her New Year's resolutions, her recent marriage to rocker Ryan Adams, and her support of efforts to educate young women on the risks of cervical cancer.

Sitting down with the popular television personality, Mandy responded to questions over her body image. "I think I err on the other side of the scale in terms of like, what is the norm in Hollywood. And I've always been comfortable to represent that side."

Addressing her recent nuptials to Ryan Adams, Mandy fielded the obvious comparisons to her 90's counterparts, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan. "I mean I feel lucky because I've always managed to escape that kind of scrutiny," said Mandy. "Probably because I am fairly boring. I just don't engage in that type of behavior. I don't really go out. And now... I'm an old married broad, so there's nothing exciting to report on or write about."

Discussing her involvement with the Gynecological Cancer Foundation and GlaxoSmithKline, Mandy detailed the importance of cervical cancer awareness. "I think like a lot of young women, there was a lot I didn't know. It's the second leading cause of cancer death of women in their 20s and 30s...which is sort of mind boggling statistic to me. I felt an obligation to sort of step up to the plate and use this platform to help spread the word that it is a preventable cancer, and encourage women to take control of their health and talk to their doctor."
