Mandy Moore Needs Hypnosis

Mandy Moore was so nervous about premiering tunes from her newest album on Saturday she underwent hypnosis to help her cope.

The singer/actress' release Amanda Leigh hit U.S. shelves on Sunday and the star marked the launch by playing an intimate gig for 280 lucky fans in Los Angeles the night before.

But Moore was so terrified about taking to the stage she sought the help of a hypnotherapist before the show.

She told the crowd, "It is the most bizarre situation you can imagine. It’s almost like therapy."
