MANDY MOORE - MOORE SCARED TO BE ALONE

Pop star/actress MANDY MOORE dreads having to promote a new album or movie, because she dislikes going abroad alone. The 23-year-old admits she hates being away from her family and is reluctant to go on solo vacations. She says, "I was always kind of terrified of going on vacation alone. That thought really scared me, but I wanted to push that bruise and do it anyway. "I ended up having the most incredible time. It was so peaceful, not having to answer to anyone or take anybody else's opinions into account. "It is empowering and it's such a simple thing to do."
