Mandy Moore Continues Fight Against Malaria in Support of New Website!

  

In conjunction with World Cup 2010, Mandy Moore continued the fight against malaria in Africa with a series of posts on her popular Twitter-feed. 

"An African child dies of malaria every 30 seconds -- use your voice to change that," urged Mandy. "Show world leaders you're committed to sending nets and saving lives," she continued. "Ours is the generation that can end malaria. Join me and use your voice to make history and save lives. "

With a keen eye towards helping stopping the spread of malaria, Mandy's latest efforts come on behalf of UnitedAgainstMalaria.org. Organized by leaders in government, professional sports, and entertainment sectors, UnitedAgainstMalaria.org uses the upcoming World Cup soccer tournament to promote malaria-relief through awareness and direct action.

Fans may remember Mandy's first efforts at malaria-awareness through a high-profile trip to Southern Sudan in 2009. Joining forces with Population Services International (PSI) and the Global Fund, Mandy launched an unprecedented initiative bringing three million new mosquito nets to aid in the country's ongoing fight against malaria.

Mandy Moore Enjoys "The Robert Verdi Show"

Kicking back in the comforts of home, Mandy Moore enjoyed some downtime recently with one of her favorite TV personalities. 

"Watching [The Robert Verdi Show] with Raina and dying at how funny it is!" tweeted Mandy."

A graduate from Fashion Institute of Technology, Robert Verdi is a well-known TV personality, a sought-after celebrity stylist, and event-planning guru. A trained jewelry designer, his popular jewelry has appeared at Barneys, Bloomingdales, Bendel's, and Bergdorf Goodman. 

Debuting on television in the early 90's, Verdi accepted early roles on Gay Entertainment Television and Metro TV. A jack-of-all-trades, Verdi used his talent in fashion, decorating, and the media to broaden his career, which included wedding planning for Cynthia Rowley and designing the New York City apartments of Sandra Bernhard, Hugh Jackman, Mariska Hargitay, and Bobby Flay.

Accepting a new role on the Discovery Channel, Verdi's career quickly skyrocketed on the network's highest-rated program, Surprise by Design. Working also as host on Style Network's Fashion Police, Verdi maximized his exposure through appearances on The View, Live with Regis and Kelly, and The Today Show.

To date, Verdi stars as host on The Robert Verdi Show, airing on the LGBT-themed Logo Network. Centering on his career at the helm of his own creative services business, the show offers a platform for Verdi's over-the-top antics as stylist to the stars.

Catch a Sneak Peek at the Work In Progress Trailer for Disney's "Tangled!"

Months before its official debut, fans of Disney's Tangled can catch a glimpse of the new film with the leaked release of a work in progress preview!

Thanks to the posters at OhNoTheyDidn't and LatinoReview.com, the world is finally getting the chance to meet the newest Disney princess. Voiced by Mandy Moore, Rapunzel is Disney's spunky new princess, well-prepared to enjoy her own swashbuckling adventure. 

Emphasizing the comedic potential of the story, the early preview reveals a humorous dynamic between Rapunzel and her would-be suitor, Flynn, voiced by Zachary Levi. Contrasting moments of physical comedy with action-packed adventure, Tangled appears to be a fun-loving film with a generous dose of heart.

While the artwork is still noticeably rough, the preview offers an exciting look at Disney's cutest princess to date. With her long blonde hair, hazel eyes, and a button nose, Rapunzel is one fresh-faced heroine with plenty of natural beauty.

The trailer also introduces two new potential taglines, reading "Rinse. Rescue. Repeat." and "It Takes Two to Get Tangled."

Mandy Moore and GSK Launch New Cervical Cancer Awareness Commercials

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in partnership with Mandy Moore have launched a series of new commercials designed to foster cervical cancer awareness.

Featured on YouTube, the advertisements are meant to be surprising as they transform ordinary situations into memorable reminders about the threat of cervical cancer. 

In one commercial, a stylish young woman is drawn upstairs by a series of magical lights.  As they spin around her, she is dismayed to find that they lead to a perfume bottle emblazoned with some rather shocking words.

Directing viewers to HelpPreventCervicalCancer.com, the commercials are among the newest promotional efforts led by GSK and Mandy Moore on behalf of educating young women about cervical cancer. Fans may recall other promotional efforts involving Mandy on her popular Twitter-feed and The Early Show.
