Mandy Moore Sitcom Not Picked Up by ABC, Actress Reacts

What a shame! In a suprising twist, The Family Trap, a planned sitcom starring Mandy Moore and directed by Shawn Levy, was not picked up by ABC for the upcoming season.

While the pilot (which has already been shot) could still be aired at some point in the future, it's a stunning setback for a series that promised not only the star power of Mandy Moore, but Roswell's Majandra Delfino, Grease's Stockard Channing, and Psych's Kurt Fuller.

Why the change of heart by ABC? To the surprise of many industry watchers, the network is bringing back six series for their sophomore season, including comedies Suburgatory, Don't Trust the B---- in Apt. 23, and Last Man Standing, and dramas Once Upon a Time, Scandal, and Revenge.

Also influencing the decision was a renewed focus on winning over new male viewers. Debuting this fall is a slew of male-centered shows including "666 Park Ave," "Gotham," "Family Tools (aka Red Van Man)," and "The Neighbors."

As always, Mandy Moore reacted gracefully. 

Now it's your turn... How do you feel about ABC's decision? Dissapointed? Still hopeful? We want to hear from you! Let us know by commenting on this post or on Twitter @MandyMooreBlog!

Exclusive Interview with Mandy Moore's Cat, Vincent!

What a week! Here at Mandy Moore Blog, we've covered Mandy Moore's 28th birthday celebration at Moonlight Rollerway with Ryan Adams and Minka Kelly, her Passover celebration with pal, Raina Penchansky, her attendance at Brad Goreski's West Hollywood bash sponsored by Kate Spade, and a special airing of "A Walk to Remember" on ABC Family. 

Capping off a great week, we're excited to present a first-ever MandyMooreBlog.com exclusive, a meet and greet with Mandy Moore's cat, Vincent!!!!

MandyMooreBlog: I appreciate you taking the time to meet us, Vincent. It's great to finally meet you.

Vincent: Meow.

MandyMooreBlog: Excuse me?

Vincent: I meant to say ditto. Sorry.

MandyMooreBlog: First off Vincent, I want to congratulate you on your recent rise to fame. A few weeks ago, you were featured in a photo by @TheMandyMoore, and this past Thursday, I see  you've been featured by @TheRyanAdams. How do you feel about all this?

Vincent:  Exhausted! You're my second interview today. I was on the line earlier with Modern Dog.

MandyMooreBlog: Modern Dog?

Vincent: Meo--I mean yes. It was a favor to Joni. She's close with the editor.

MandyMooreBlog: When did you find out Mandy Moore had tweeted your picture? Were you aware that Mandy has 2.4 million followers on Twitter?

Vincent: Well Mandy, she's the sly one. I logged on to check my portfolio and--

MandyMooreBlog: Your portfolio? I'm sorry to interrupt you Vincent, but you're in the market?

Vincent: Of course. I invest in companies who share my core values. Tempur-Pedic and Petco primarily.

MandyMooreBlog: It's where the pets go. Of course. I'm sorry Vincent, please continue.

Vincent: Well, I logged on to check my portfolio, and discovered a retweet of my picture she tweeted. I was shocked.

MandyMooreBlog: What did you say to her?

Vincent: Meow.

MandyMooreBlog: Meow?

Vincent: That's the abbreviated version.

MandyMooreBlog: What about Ryan's tweet? How did you find out about that one?

Vincent: Well after the incident with Mandy, I only had one option. I needed a laptop. Joni turned me onto the MacBook Pro, and she helped me build a compartment under my bed. I know everything about everything now.

MandyMooreBlog: Makes sense. Now just to clarify, Vincent, you're named after Vincent Van Gogh correct? I understand your brother is named after his brother, Theo.

Vincent: That's true, but I never understood why. I still have both ears.

MandyMooreBlog: Very true, Vincent. Happen to have any thoughts on this year's Presidential Election?

Vincent: No contest really. Candidates who lose the cat vote, lose the election. And Romney lost the cat vote when he tied his dog to the top of his car. 'Nuff said. Vote Obama. Meow.

Mandy Moore Goes Skating For Her 28th Birthday!

Mandy Moore was looking all sorts of adorable Tuesday, as she spent her 28th birthday at The Moonlight Rollerway in Glendale!

"They had a small table that was decked out in birthday balloons and flashing lights," an eyewitness told US Weekly. "She was a good skater! Mandy was laughing with her friends as they went around the rink, trying to dance to the music."

Joined by a small group of friends, hubby Ryan Adams and Minka Kelly were among those attending.

Mandy, as usual, rocked her look, pairing a red top with a casual pair of jeans with an oversized snake-skin bag.

Happy Birthday Mandy!
