Jun 14 2006Zach Braff and Mandy Moore split up

Us Weekly is reporting Zach Braff and Mandy Moore have split up after going out for a year and a half. Braff was spotted at Hyde on June 8 downing drinks and trying to get with Jessica Simpson, despite costar Christa Miller saying on Howard Stern Monday that they were still together. A source says:
“There was no drama. They were ready. Mandy was very young when they got together and she wanted to see what’s out there, now that she’s a woman. Zach was mature and realized it was time to let her do that.”
There's a reason you don't see many beautiful women with ugly men, and thats because at some point in their lives they realize they have eyes. And they can see with them. I'm sure Zach is a very nice fellow, but if these two were to enter a beauty contest one would end up in the top 10 and the other would be mistaken for the janitor. Or her dad.

3. RobotAttack - June 14, 2006 5:57 PM
ohh... I'm pretty sad. I love both of them so much. Plus those episodes of Scrubs she guest starred in this season were amazing.

I could never figure out why people say Zach Braff is cute. He's too Muppet-y for me.
5. jane's eyre - June 14, 2006 6:00 PM
And I don't trust people who show both their top and bottom rows of teeth when they smile.

She's so much younger than he is.

Wow, becuase I really want to be up to date of these a-listers. I didn't even know they were going out!
9. Libraesque - June 14, 2006 6:03 PM
she's sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fucking pretty, she needs to bat for my team
10. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 6:03 PM
Hillary Duff is the new Mandy Moore.
11. mrs.t - June 14, 2006 6:05 PM
Charlene Tilton is the old Mandy Moore.
12. UCSD - June 14, 2006 6:06 PM
mmmmmmmm. More mandy for me.
13. mrs.t - June 14, 2006 6:07 PM
"Zach was mature..." Because he's, like, forty. And he's learned to live with disappointment, being Zach Braff and all.
14. jane's eyre - June 14, 2006 6:09 PM
I like her better with dark hair. Blonde hair washes her skin out.
15. BigJim - June 14, 2006 6:09 PM
At this very moment, Paris Hilton's new Stars are Blind video is on my TV. Now I have to throw the damn thing out and buy a new one, because the old set is infected.
16. cleofatra - June 14, 2006 6:10 PM
You know, I used to think he was somewhat attractive until the airport scene in Garden State where he is trying to tell Natalie Portman that "it was something he needs to do" and his lips look so huge and disgusting, but he was trying to act serious. I wanted to slap him for looking so gross. Mandy Moore always tells the world about her flings, STFU about it n00b.
17. celebritywhore - June 14, 2006 6:10 PM
This makes me genuinely sad.
18. Nikk The Templar - June 14, 2006 6:11 PM
I'm sorry to hear that they're no longer together.
Mandy, please come over posthaste. Bring champagne, a riding crop and be sure to wear those open toed heels I like. kthxgetonme.
19. gossipmonger - June 14, 2006 6:11 PM
Oh BigJim, I heart you, you always can make me giggle...
20. BigJim - June 14, 2006 6:11 PM
She dumped him because his dick was too small, and she's all stretched out from Fez's massive man meat. She needs a guy with a huge unit to satisfy her now.
Like me.
21. aivilo - June 14, 2006 6:13 PM
Oh bambi... go for someone in your own league.
BTW WHY DID MANDY GIVE UP ON ANDY RODDICK!? That boy is yummm.
22. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 6:14 PM
She's really pretty, though. The blond hair is a good look.
23. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 6:15 PM
The tennis player? ew.
24. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 6:17 PM
Who is Christa Miller?
25. BigJim - June 14, 2006 6:17 PM
Fuck me! Now it's a commercial for that stupid Keanu and Sandra Bullock movie.
Gak!
Why didn't they go make Speed 3 instead? It might be slightly less gag inducing.
OK, commercial's over now, and it's... Nick Lachey's latest. Jesus Fucking Christ! I'm gonna kill my bastard kids for hiding the remote.
26. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 6:17 PM
I love that song "Stars Are Blind" It's awesong, ahs a fun beat and is a perfect summer tune.
27. BigJim - June 14, 2006 6:18 PM
Coob, you lying sack of shit. I thought you promised to go drink Liquid Plumber or something.
28. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 6:18 PM
How about turning off the T.V. for five minutes. Outside is soooo nice.
29. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 6:18 PM
#27... ummm, when? What are you smoking?
30. tarjamarja - June 14, 2006 6:19 PM
I think Zach Braff is adorable in Scrubs. I have a soft spot for actors, who always seem so lost and confused (even if it's only because the role requires them to act like that). Kind of like Brendan Fraser in practically every movie he's ever starred in. And Mandy Moore is so pretty. I hope she goes back to him after she's enjoyed a bit of "freedom".
Oh, I forgot this was the Superficial. What's up with "Mandy was very young when they got together and she wanted to see what’s out there, now that she’s a woman."? "Now that she's a woman"? That makes Zach Braff sound like some sick paedophile.
31. jane's eyre - June 14, 2006 6:20 PM

Makes you wish for those days with the TV's with the knob to change the channel, eh?
That's part of your native language, right, eh?
32. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 6:20 PM
tarjamarja ... How long have they been a couple?
33. jane's eyre - June 14, 2006 6:22 PM

I agree with you on the big lips part. Ew. Fishy-fishy, want a kissy?
34. Chicagoboy - June 14, 2006 6:23 PM
"Mandy was very young when they got together and she wanted to see what’s out there, now that she’s a woman. Zach was mature and realized it was time to let her do that."
Yeah, I would be okay with my girlfriend breaking up with me just so she could fuck a ton of guys. I would take her back in an instant, even if her va-jay-jay was beginning to look Hilton-esque. Sure. . .
35. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 6:24 PM
I don't mind spending some time
Just hanging here with you
Cuz I don't find too many guys
That treat me like you do
Those other guys all wanna take me for a ride
But when I walk their talk is suicide
Some people never get beyond their stupid pride
But you can see the real me inside
And I'm satisfied, oh no, ohh
Even though the gods are crazy
Even though the stars are blind
If you show me real love baby
I'll show you mine
I can make you nice and naughty
Be the devil and angel too
Got a heart and soul and body
Let's see what this love can do
Baby i'm perfect for you
My love, ohh oh
I could be your confidante
Just one of your girlfriends
But I know that love's what you want
If tomorrow the world ends
Why shouldn't we be with the one we really love?
Now tell me who have you been dreaming of
At night at home? oh no, ohh
Even though the gods are crazy
Even though the stars are blind
If you show me real love baby
I'll show you mine
I can make you nice and naughty
Be the devil and angel too
Got a heart and soul and body
Let's see what this love can do
Baby i'm perfect for you
Excuse me for feeling
This moment is critical
Might be me feeling
It could get physical, oh no, no no
Even though the gods are crazy
Even though the stars are blind
If you show me real love baby
I'll show you mine
I can make you nice and naughty
Be the devil and angel too
Got a heart and soul and body
Let's see what this love can do
Let's see what this love can do
Baby I'm perfect for you
Baby I'm perfect for you
Even though the gods are crazy
Even though the stars are blind
Even though the gods are crazy
Even though the stars are blind

Eh?
37. IGotAnFCandK - June 14, 2006 6:25 PM
This makes me sad because I adore them both.
He isn't hot in that "oh baby I want to jump you" way, but that quirky/nerdy "oh baby I want to watch star wars" with you way.
Mandy Moore is a sweetheart.
38. BigJim - June 14, 2006 6:26 PM
Dear God, Jesus, Allah, Yahweh, Vishnu, Buddha, Santa Claus, or whoever the fuck else has the power to hear my prayers and answer them:
Please kill the coob.
39. punctiliouspig - June 14, 2006 6:26 PM
why is it that everytime a celebrity is single they always throw their shit at jessica simpson, paris hilton, lindsay lohan or an olsen twin?
40. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 6:27 PM
Aw, I missed you too, LittleJim

And while you're at it, kill Paris Hilton too.
43. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 6:30 PM
Paris Hilton and I have a lot in common. Were both better people than Little Jim.

GO DIE
45. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 6:32 PM
I'm Iambananas. People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks. Years later, a doctor will tell me that I have an I.Q. of 48 and am what some people call mentally retarded.
46. BigJim - June 14, 2006 6:32 PM
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The coob said it has a lot in common with Paris Hilton.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I can't possibly come up with a better insult than that.
47. VivianneO - June 14, 2006 6:35 PM
mandy was great on entourage - but who is the fruit sald head guy next to her anyway?
48. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 6:36 PM
BigJim...

I have no idea, but judging by that "now that she's a woman" bit, I'm guessing they've been dating since she was 7 or 8 years old.
14
I agree. The blond hair doesn't suit her at all.
50. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 6:37 PM
How old is she now?
Who do you think dumped whom?
51. aivilo - June 14, 2006 6:38 PM
GO DIE
52. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 6:41 PM
She's 21.
53. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 6:41 PM
She seems like she's been around a lot longer and is a lot older!
54. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 6:42 PM
He's 31!!!
55. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 6:43 PM
Click my name, BigJim. Scared???
56. aivilo - June 14, 2006 6:44 PM
DIE!
57. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 6:46 PM
I'm rubber and you're glue and whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you!
58. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 6:48 PM
Wiat a second, Mandy Moore is 21 and Zack is 31? How yung was she? If she was like 16 when they first started going out, that maks him 26? WOW!
59. aivilo - June 14, 2006 6:49 PM
DIE!
60. jane's eyre - June 14, 2006 7:00 PM
Mandy Moore was 20 and Zach 29 when they started dating, planting Zach just outside of Perville.
61. redsonja1313 - June 14, 2006 7:06 PM
HE didn't want to follow FEZ !!! and she told him he was the first !!!
62. jFp - June 14, 2006 7:09 PM
ahhhh....that poem blows
63. henrysgirl - June 14, 2006 7:19 PM
# 11- lmfao!!! Do you think Mandy will ever reach the dramatic heights Charlene did on Dallas? One can only dream...
64. limper - June 14, 2006 7:24 PM
In that photo, she looks like she's ashamed to be seen with him. I think she caught on to the fact that Braff is the next David Schwimmer, only with less money.
65. HughJorganthethird - June 14, 2006 7:45 PM
Damn. I was really hoping this one would last.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
66. LilRach - June 14, 2006 7:50 PM
#9 I agree :)
67. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 8:22 PM
I think I'll change my name to Feed Me Trousersnake. That's hot.
68. RichPort - June 14, 2006 8:48 PM
Mandy Mooore loves Lasik surgery. Consequently Zach Braff hates Lasik surgery.
69. cats069 - June 14, 2006 8:51 PM
DO NOT FEED THE TROLL
70. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 9:26 PM
seriously? the fact that you know the names of regular commenters (or at least their fake names) proves you have a really great life and enjoy being outside, helping people. as opposed to sitting around your computer, logging on every few minutes to see if "whipper" or "lamebanana" has written a response yet.

Seriously ... I am gay. Jus' thought you'd like to know.
74. Iambananas - June 14, 2006 10:08 PM
#71. Fake lame 'naners, I am not "mentally retarded", I am just "slow", and a bit "dim", and somewhat "dumb", and ... well, "gay" of course.
75. BigJim - June 14, 2006 10:12 PM
Pretending to be lame bananas is even worse than being lame bananas.
Well, not really, but it's still pretty gay.
76. jauxhawk - June 14, 2006 10:17 PM
I happen to think zach braff is attractive.
77. Fa Cube Itches - June 14, 2006 11:06 PM
Wow....Mandy Moore and Steve Spurrier broke up? I didn't even know they were dating!
78. kukamunga - June 14, 2006 11:23 PM
aww, well.... I think Zach Braff is an amazing director.
79. Iambananas - June 15, 2006 1:09 AM
Li'l Jimmy's gonna have sex with his "hot pussy" ( right hand ), then relax and contemplate his "wealth" ( Chuck E Cheese tips ), and his education ( GED, well almost ), and be thankful for all that he has ( needle dick ) ...
'night cunt.

#64 How do you make the leap from Zach Braff to Schwimmer? One was the star of a quirky, innovative comedy. The other was the biggest annoyance in a six-person formula sitcom that hit it big but was by no means groundbreaking. One directed an award-winning movie. The other's biggest movie was, what, as a voice in Madagascar?
You're comparing apples and oranges. Whether or not you like Zach Braff, you could have picked a hundred other skinny white guys and been closer to describing him than "the next David Schwimmer, with less money."
Braff & Moore didn't start dating until the twilight of the 2004 election. She would have been 20 1/2 by then. He's 9 years older to the month. By Hollywood standards, I think they're considered the same age. She should be dating Harrison Ford by now.
81. TheRuckus - June 15, 2006 1:12 AM
I think HYDE is running a promotion where if you buy two drinks, you get a date with Jessica Simpson
82. Amy - June 15, 2006 1:59 AM
i prefer mandy with brown hair. but your hair probably gets damaged by dying it all the time huh
83. TOPAZ21 - June 15, 2006 2:20 AM
lame bananas...where do you live? really? can you please stop with this shit? we're all getting really sick of it. being a coob is nothing you should be proud of. where i come from, by now you would have checked yourself in a mental institute.
bigjim: eh comment cracked me up...just like everything else you said.
84. sarah - June 15, 2006 3:35 AM
i'm sad to see that they have called it quits, but at the same time, i'm kinda glad she's not in the picture anymore. he can do so much better i think.
oh and the big jim guy, that part about the paris hilton video being on your tv and you having to throw it out because it has been infected.. wonderful :) i seriously laughed out loud.
85. Randy Pan the goatboy - June 15, 2006 4:41 AM
Ah man, I was told by a friend that I remind her of that guy. Don't I feel like a janitor.
Oh well, at least we get to score with young hot chicks.
86. oshkoshb-goshdammgosh - June 15, 2006 10:31 AM
That Jessica Simpson sure loves the Cock-a-Cola.
87. gnomar - June 15, 2006 10:59 AM
woo hoo! so she "wants to see what’s out there" does she? sweeeeeeeet. zach, sorry buddy. at least you got to frolick in paradise for a year and a half, right? now howsabout being a pal and sending me her number?
88. Cratylus - June 15, 2006 2:18 PM
"she's sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fucking pretty, she needs to bat for my team"
Maybe after this breakup she'll spiral into a deep depression, gain several hundred pounds and neglect to shave her legs for several years.
Don't lose hope.
89. Swordman - June 15, 2006 2:28 PM
Cool, its about time that hottie smartened up
90. limper - June 15, 2006 5:01 PM
80: You're right: Zach Braff isn't the next David Schwimmer.
...
He's the next Matthew Perry.

91. MeganHarris - June 15, 2006 9:09 PM
Ouch!
92. stephanieg - June 16, 2006 10:45 AM
Sorry but I think Mandy's the loser in this scenario; Zach's adorable, nebbishy, smart, funny and talented. Not to mention successful and unaffected. In short, he's every Jewish girl's fantasy man. And besides, Mandy would've never converted anyway.
93. The Word - June 16, 2006 3:15 PM
stephanieg- i'm not debating any of your other points, but what does the possibility of Mandy not converting have to do with it? you name any Jewish celebrity married to a Christian and spousal conversion isn't far up the list of priorities. Its not as if Jews are on a quest to convert their spouses. Jews don't always expect their spouses to convert to Judaism anymore than Christians want their spouses of another religion to convert to Christianity. I don't know why they split up, but i doubt that ever was an issue.
94. It Girl - June 17, 2006 9:52 PM
I bet they broke up because she met John Krasinski. I'd sell my own vital organs to get next to that boy.
He's like Zach Braff, only cuter, funnier, and younger.
