Mandy Moore has called Wilmer Valderrama's tell-all interview on Howard Stern, in which he suggested he took her virginity, "tacky" and "untrue":

She says his chat is "utterly tacky, not even true".

She went on to say: "It hurt my feelings because I like him."

But it seems she's not the only one a little miffed by Wilmer's loose tongue.

During the interview, he also claimed to have slept with Lindsay Lohan, Ashlee Simpson and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Jennifer Love Hewitt denied Valderrama's claims earlier, saying she "would have loved to have been there!"

Mandy Moore is in the finishing stages of her latest album, and says on her official website that "Things are really heating up and I'm so anxious to get out there and share this music with you all." She also has harsh words for whoever started a rumor that she was in rehab, saying " If you're gonna spread trash and gossip, there should be a line drawn on issues that you just don't go near!"

Considering that we never heard that Moore was in rehab, she shouldn't have justified the rumor with a response.

Here she is the June, 2006 issue of Elle magazine.

Nick Lachey's new album "What's Left of Me" is a clear and heartbreaking exploration of his very public breakup from fellow singer Jessica Simpson. Critics are saying the music is decent pop, if a bit melodramatic and depressing:

If so, then Nick Lachey's new solo album, "What's Left of Me," could prove cathartic; If not, it might leave you a bit depressed...

The disc - a somber, soulful, angsty collection of 12 ballads - is a slickly produced, raw-nerved confessional of his heartbreak and an open letter to Simpson.

In "Shades of Blue," one of the album's best tracks, Lachey pines for a lost love, foolishly awaiting her return. He asks, "Why did you have to leave? Why did you have to set me free? Why did you have to go?" But he takes an angrier tone in "I Do it For You," expressing his wish to see her "bleed and see how it feels..."

Realizing that he must move on ("I don't want to waste another day stuck in the shadow of my mistakes"), the title track has Lachey telling a potential lover to make him "whole once again."

His brooding songs, sung in a clear tenor, span different stages of grief, sometimes within the same track - there's resentment, regret and acceptance in "I Can't Hate You Anymore" - until he reaches his "Resolution," pledging his commitment to let go. Finally.

Set to a pop soundtrack, his pain becomes palpable, raw, universal. His pain becomes ours.

Here's the video for "What's Left of Me." It's pretty good.

The NY Daily News is reporting that Nick decided not to respond to former miss Kentucky Lizzie Arnold, who he was supposedly dating in January. She was said to have sent him several voice and text messages in a vain attempt to get in touch with him before the Kentucky Derby. He was busy with Petra Nemcova the next day, so why would he bother with a past hookup?

Stars attending the CDs release party at Mood in Las Vegas last night include Sophia Bush, Drew Lachey, Wilmer Valderrama, Ryan McPartlin, Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton, Ryan McPartlin, Sophie Monk, Stacey Keibler, Lance Bass, Traci Swain, Casey Swain and Bonnie Somerville.

That 70s show is ending its eight-year run with a finale to air May 18th. Aston Kutcher became famous during his run on the show. Topher Grace also made the transition to the big screen, while Wilmer Valderrama became known for screwing starlets:

"I went to Wilmer's high school graduation," Rupp says. "He called and said, "Mrs. Debra Jo, will you come to my graduation?' "

Two of the young actors weren't working in their first language. Kunis was born in the Ukraine, moving to the United States at 7. Valderrama was born in Miami but moved to Venezuela at 3.

All seemed to capture a world that seemed low-key and goofy...

Mostly, these teens horsed around in the Forman basement. Upstairs, Red and Kitty ranged from lust to arguments.

"Kitty was the final word," Rupp says. "She was a feisty little thing."

Meanwhile, the kids drifted through life. Eric moved in and out of his relationship with Donna (Prepon), the girl next door.

Capturing its old-young audience, "That '70s Show" did fairly well in the ratings. In recent years, only a few shows ("Seinfeld," "Friends" and "Everybody Loves Raymond") have drawn better Nielsen ratings in afternoon reruns.

Some of the actors have gone on to bigger things. Grace and Kutcher have moved on to film.

"Ashton, from the beginning, was a go-getter," Rupp says.

Now they've reconvened for a finale. Even on TV, the 1970s must come to a close.

The wrap party for the series was held on Saturday night in Los Angeles. Topher Grace was noticeably absent from the party but Ashton Kutcher showed up with his old lady, Demi Moore, and her daughter Rumer. Other cast and friends shown include Don Stark, Kurtwood Smith, Laura Prepon, Mila Kunis, Debra Jo Rupp, Wilmer Valderrama, Josh Meyers, Chris Masterson and Melissa Joan Hart.

Paris was just linked with USC quarterback Matt Leinart after it was announced yesterday that she broke up with Stavros Niarchos. She's not wasting any time because she showed up at a party at Pure nightclub at Ceasar's Palace last night to celebrate Leinart's draft into the NFL. She even sang at the event.

Also attending were Nick Lachey, Danny Masterson, Wilmer Valderrama, Kimberly Kardashian, and Caroline D'Amor. View the e-vite for the event. (Warning - lauches automatic music.)

Leinart has been drafted to the Arizona Cardinals. He won the Heisman Trophy so he must be hot shit.

Here's some quick sports background on Leinart.

Matt Leinart (USC) 10th to Arizona Cardinals - Most scouts think Leinart is ready to make an immediate impact at the NFL level, and considering his familiarity with a pro-style offense and his penchant for winning it's difficult to argue with them. Leinart throws a very catchable ball and makes few mistakes, which makes him a very nice fit in Dennis Green's offense, especially with new backfield mate Edgerrin James and the lethal wideout combination of Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin. Kurt Warner is entrenched as the starter at quarterback going into training camp, but considering his age and injury history, it is a safe bet that Leinart will be taking the snaps at some point this season. Given the offensive weapons at his disposal, he makes for a nice selection, especially in keeper leagues.

Matt Leinart was said to be dating Kirsten Cavallari at one time, but just like Nick Lachey, Cavallari said that they were only friends. Leinart has a blog that centers around his football career.

He seems to have a good head on his shoulders and we doubt he and Paris will last.

Here are pictures from the party.

Mandy Moore stars in "American Dreamz," an American Idol parady that hits theatres on April 21st. Hugh Grant, who admittedly loved watching lots of reality TV in preparation for his role, plays the nasty Simon Cowell-based judge. Willem Dafoe stars as the chief of staff to the President (Dennis Quaid) who decides to guest judge on the reality show talent competition.

Despite some unflattering pictures of Moore that came out recently, she looked svelte and pretty at the March 26 press conference for the film in New York.

Wilmer Valderrama keeps talking about his relationships with famous starlets. He toned down the details for a NY Times interview, but still dished the dirt in his tell-all style:

That afternoon, Mr. Valderrama, dressed in jeans and a sweatshirt and smelling of the cologne Drakkar Noir, was quite willing to discuss the women he has dated over the years. Mandy Moore was "the first love of my life," he said. "I was madly in love with her. She is one of the most wonderful women I've ever met; a real lady." He and his Ms. (Lindsay) Lohan, meanwhile, "had a really passionate relationship," he said. "There were so many factors that played into our breakup. We needed to do a lot of growing up on our own."

Valderrama also emphasized how he wants to take his career to the next level and challenge himself as an actor. Obviously talking about anal sex on Howard Stern is not going to get him far.

Here are Moore, Grant, and Dafoe at the American Dreamz press conference.
