Mandy Moore is terrified of germs. The singer-and-actress has a phobia of microscopic nasties and takes antibacterial wipes everywhere she goes to protect her from catching infections.

Mandy told Marie Claire magazine: "I'm a bit of a germ freak. I carry antibacterial and alcohol swabs with me when I travel."

Britney Spears has hired Kelly Clarkson's former manager, Jeff Kwatinetz.

Britney sacked her manager, Larry Rudolph, in April - just six months after rehiring him - while the 'American Idol' winner fired Kwatinetz in June. Britney is hoping Kwatinetz, who is CEO of The Firm - one of Hollywood's most powerful talent agencies - can help her rebuild her image and launch her comeback.

Is Drew Barrymore making sure her options are open?

The Hollywood star has been spotted on dates with both Zac Braff and Spike Jonze in 2007 and the sightings have become more frequent and closer together.

Drew Barrymore and Zach Braff have reportedly been seen "making out" in a New York club. Barrymore, who was thought to be dating film director Spike Jonze, apparently spent a romantic weekend with the 'Scrubs' actor, which included partying together over the weekend.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Zach Braff and Drew Barrymore arrived and danced the night away while he continued to give her 'sex eyes'. There was a lot of making out."

With many starlets slimming down drastically, going to jail and ending up in rehab, Mandy Moore is a breath of good-girl fresh air.

The singer and actress has managed to raise her profile and popularity but keep her dignity - and body - in shape.
