I'm so envious of JK Rowling
Mandy Moore Says She Struggled with Depression
Tim Nudd
Just weeks after her ex-boyfriend, Zach Braff, admitted suffering from mild depression, Mandy Moore has revealed she also struggles with the blues.
"A few months ago I felt really low, really sad – depressed for no reason," the singer and actress tells Jane magazine in its February issue. "I'm a very positive person, and I've always been glass-half-full. So it was like someone flipped a switch in me."
Moore, 22, and Braff, 31, split last year. Moore says the separation did not trigger her depression, but may have exacerbated it. "The breakup added to what I was going through, but it's not the complete reason," she says. "It definitely doesn't help if you're already in that place."
Moore does not speculate on what else might have caused her depression, but says it prompted some serious introspection.
"I've been going through this really crazy time in my life," she tells Jane. "I'm asking myself life-altering questions, like 'Who am I? Where do I fit in this world? What am I doing? What do I want to do? Am I living to my full potential?' "
Professionally, Moore has been working on new songs – spending lots of time at the remote Allaire Studios in Woodstock, N.Y., which has suited her ruminative mood. "Writing has been really therapeutic," she says. "These little nuggets that have come up over the past eight months have made me look at things in a different way."
But one thing that doesn't appear to have changed is her outlook on relationships. Moore, who enjoyed lengthy romances with actor Wilmer Valderrama and tennis player Andy Roddick before Braff, says she is still uncomfortable with the whole dating scene – though she has been recently linked to Adam "DJ A.M." Goldstein.
"I've tried dating a bit, and I don't like it," she says. "I know I should be putting myself out there. But I don't really think it's for me. That's not to say I'm ready to jump back into a relationship anytime soon. I'm definitely not looking. But it'd be fun to have a crush."
Anne Heche has split from her cameraman husband Coley Laffoon, the star's rep confirms to PEOPLE.
The couple "have decided to separate after five years of marriage," the actress's rep said in a statement Wednesday. "They have requested that they be allowed their privacy at this time."
Laffoon, 33, and Heche, 37, wed in 2001, and have a 4-year-old son, Homer.
Entertainment Tonight has reported that the Men in Trees actress is romantically involved with her costar, James Tupper. Heche's rep had no comment on the relationship. Tupper split from his wife in November, according to ET. His rep had no comment when reached by PEOPLE.
Heche dated Ellen DeGeneres for several years before the couple broke up in 2000. In 2001, she published an autobiography, Call Me Crazy, in which she detailed her struggles with mental illness.
In October, Heche told PEOPLE she was happy in her married life. "You hopefully have a journey where you can get healthy and find love, and fortunately I did," she said.
I love Men in Trees and I love them as an on-screen couple, but if its true about them in real life then its a pretty crappy situation. Feel bad for their spouses. But you can't deny that they have chemistry!
Actress Nicole Kidman was rushed to the hospital Wednesday night after being involved in a car accident on the set of her latest film, The Invasion, in downtown Los Angeles.
At the time of the incident, the actress was filming a scene in which she’s driving a Jaguar, trying to escape zombie-like characters hanging off the hood.
The vehicle was being towed by a rig in order to give the appearance that the actress was really driving.
At around 11 p.m., the stunt driver operating the rig skidded while taking a corner at roughly 45 mph, causing Kidman's car to hit a poll and knock over a garbage can.
Both the actress and her costar, 10-year-old Jackson Bond, who was riding in the front passenger seat, were wearing seat belts.
Members of the crew immediately wrapped a blanket around Kidman and paramedics arrived to check the actress for injuries.
Kidman, 39, was taken to Cedars Sinai Medical Center in an SUV, and was released within two hours.
Sources tell Us that the actress was in shock and took a long break, but eventually resumed filming later that night.
Her husband Keith Urban, 39, and 11-year-old son, Connor Cruise, were said to be on-set at the time of the accident.
Kidman's rep was unavailable for comment.

Was anybody else reading this thinking, "What about the kid?" I can just imagine everyone rushing Nicole Kidman to the hospital and leaving the kid crushed under the pole. "We must save Nicole Kidman!"

According to a setside source and Star magazine Sally Field is dating 'Brothers and Sisters' co-star David Annabelle (Justin)
"Not only does Sally play his mom on the hit ABC show, the icon is 33 years older than David, 27!" The two singletons are often in the corner, talking and joshing each other, and they seem to have developed their own inside jokes" says the source. "Just because Sally is mature doesn't mean she still isn't sexy. Her youthful exuberance makes her seem like she's 30 years younger. She's still a very attractive woman."
