Mandy Moore

(Neutrogena produces mainly facecare products, such as the Oil-Free Acne Wash that Moore advertises.) In 2005, Mandy designed a few t-shirts for Mblem. They are working on a greatest hits album as their first compilation that is currently untitled, they'll release it sometime in 2005 and they might be working on their 8th album that will be released probably late in the same year. Moore is a Neutrogena spokesperson, appearing in commercials on television as well as print ads. Their latest is Splinter. Early in her career it was reported in British newspapers that she was a relative of the British actor Ian Lavender, who played Private Pike in the sitcom Dad's Army. Although Smash was the album that originally brought The Offspring into commercial success and wide recognition, it was the release of "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)" from the 1998 album Americana which established the band as a regular feature on MTV and established The Offspring as a regular chart presence. Dolittle 2 (where her voice was dubbed), were released in Europe. Songs like "Jennifer Lost The War" and "Kill The President" on The Offspring, "L.A.P.D" on Ignition, "It'll Be A Long Time" and "Not the One" on Smash, and "Meaning Of Life" and "Change the World" on Ixnay On The Hombre, communicated the band's general position on social and political issues (though the band has not been known to be outspoken or active politically, especially by punk standards).

None of them, except for The Princess Diaries, Racing Stripes and Dr. On each album, The Offspring always tend to have a couple of songs based on social/political subject matter, a testament to their punk roots. The same goes for her movies. The commercial success of this record was somewhat disappointing, only going on to sell four million copies. However, her single releases did little in other parts of the world. They released their follow up to Smash in 1997, entitled Ixnay on the Hombre. She has sold about two million albums during her career. Many punk rock purists criticized this decision, feeling that The Offspring jumped from an independent to a major label, solely for financial gain.

Sony released a "Best Of" compilation in November of 2004 consisting of the best songs off her 4 previous albums and various soundtrack contributions. Although their first album, The Offspring, was very similar to late 1980s punk, the next album, Ignition, saw them move away from more traditional punk, heading into the punk of the mid-1990s with songs like "Dirty Magic".
