Mandy Moore has taken a swipe at boyfriend DJ AM's former fiancee Nicole Richie for her stick-thin appearance.

The-22-year-old singer suffered from depression after splitting from "Scrubs" star Zach Braff in November, but she has recently been photographed kissing Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein.

Moore tells Seventeen magazine, "Oh, God! I tell you what, in this industry it's my job to look a certain way or what not and it's weird for men, too.

"But I'm much happier to present this type of person. I'm not Nicole Richie. I'm not like a toothpick, and I never will be. I'm just a regular-looking person and that's OK.

"It's taken awhile to come to grips with that since it's definitely not the norm in my business.

"But, like, who cares? If anything, that makes someone more special. Or at least that's what I tell myself."
