With Lindsay Lohan in rehab and Paris Hilton in jail, there are some empty nightclub tabletops open for dancing.

But don't look for Mandy Moore to go jumping on them. 

I caught up with Moore yesterday afternoon shortly after she landed in Chicago to promote Wild Hope, her new album that hits stores June 19. Just the night before, the 23-year-old starlet had performed seven new songs from the album at Hollywood hot spot Citizen Smith during a party for the fall and holiday 2007 collection of her Mblem fashion line.

"You know what? I'm pretty boring," Moore told me. "Seriously, when I'm not working, I like to go to a nice dinner or go hear live music or go to bed." 

Moore laughed when I mention that in all the years I've been in this celebrity racket I don't think I've ever gotten a tip about her behaving badly. "That's not really my scene," she said. "I'd rather go home and crash. Honestly, when I'm not working, I'm really not working."

And she'll only stretch herself so far. She insisted she has no aspirations of becoming a "full-blown brand" In other words, there will be no Mandy  Moore perfume à la Sarah Jessica Parker. "This is where I stop," Moore said. "I'll stick to this and acting and singing. That's enough to have on my plate." 

She hopes that her acting and singing will lead to a debut on Broadway in a year or two: "I'm such a big musical-theater nerd."

She says she's already turned down offers to be in Broadway's Beauty and the Beast. "Ahhh!" she says in mock horror. "I couldn't take doing something like that. It would have be really something superspecial." 

That project just may be a musical adaptation of Saved, the 2004 indie flick that Moore starred in as a goody-two-shoes Christian schoolgirl who turns on her best friend when the friend gets pregnant.

"A Saved musical is going to Broadway," Moore said. "I think it lends itself to being onstage. It's going to be hysterical."
