So Ryan Adams is now engaged to Mandy Moore. Not that you'd know it from his website; we had to read Us Weekly's report. Discretion: yet another way Moore has reformed her man.

Adams used to be a randomly oversharey blogger, sometimes a train wreck but generally adorable. He dated Moore, then did something dumb and wasn't dating Moore.

Then he totally promised to change in order to get the singer/actress back and/or keep her back:

So probably Doree's Observer article this week was correct: The best way to improve a boyfriend is to break up with him.

To check in on whether getting back together with said boyfriend is a good idea, check in with Adams in, oh, ten years or so. (You'll probably be able to do so via his oversharey blog.)
