Trashy Celebs

We all know there are hits to be found and money to be made in “woman scorned songs.” Alanis had one of the most well-known with “You Oughta Know,” rumored to be about a wide variety of well-known celebrities, including Dave Coulier, Bob Saget, Doug Gilmour (of the Toronto Maple Leafs), Mike Peluso (of the Ottawa Senators), Matt LeBlanc, or producer Leslie Howe. Personally, I hope its about Dave Coulier, because he bugged the crap out of me back during his Full House days.

But according to the National Enquirer, Mandy Moore is taking a page from Alanis’ livejournal and is taking out her angst with former boyfriend Zach Braff in song.

MANDY MOORE’S REVENGE AGAINST ZACH BRAFF

Mandy Moore sounds a tad bitter about her breakup with Zach Braff. On Mandy’s new album she sings about a “toxic�? ex-boyfriend, according to the New York Post. One source close to Moore said, “We all assume it was about Zach, he was such a cheater.�?

So, Mr. Sensitive-Garden-State guy is a big ole cheater, huh? And any song about a jilted-lover on Moore’s new album Wild Hope might be about the Scrubs star? Interesting. If you want to peruse some lyrics from the album and try to figure out which ones are about Braff, you can do so here (and feel free to post your guesses in the comments. “Nothing That You Are” is my guess.)

And Braff seems to have a vague response to these accusations on his MySpace page.

I’m not sure when or why the tabloid angle on me was decided that I am a cad. I would have much rather it had been that I am secretly a dentist or that I love soup. I am in fact, merely doing what every other single 32 year old man in NYC is doing this summer. I am dating. If you must read that stuff, please don’t digest it as fact. It is probably one of the only real shitty things one has to get used to when living in the public eye, but I suppose one of the benefits of this blog is that you can hear it directly from me. I haven’t had a vacation in 6 years and so I decided to take June and July off. I am having the best summer of my life! I am so happy here!
I’m hanging out with my New York friends, my Jersey boys, my family and loving every single second of it. And yes; I am dating. When we shoot Scrubs I spend every waking hour of my life in an abandoned and haunted hospital. All I can date there are ghosts and they tend to be horrible snugglers. So anyway, blah, blah, blah. Don’t believe the hype.

(Does anyone think celebrities actually write these things or is it just some intern or PR person?)

So what is the truth? We probably won’t ever know, just like with Alanis. But I hope Moore knows to make an awesome video and to feed the speculation without giving anything away, and get the songs into TV shows and movies, so she can make a shitload of money in the process.
