TINSELTOWN SPYWITNESS.


Byline: Elizabeth Snead and Jenny Peters

Mandy Moore wants you to imagine a better world and buy her pricey new ``Imagine'' T-shirt. Imagine that!

Moore, currently starring (as herself) in HBO's ``Entourage,'' showed up at Fred Segal in Santa Monica Monday to launch her limited-edition ``Imagine'' T in her Mblem clothing line.

The shirt, which costs (gulp) $62, bears the lyrics from John Lennon's ``Imagine'' and promotes Amnesty International's ``Imagine'' campaign, a global initiative for human rights. The rights to the lyrics were granted by Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, and a reported ``significant'' amount of the money funds AI global work.

Frankly, she's lucky to have time to design clothes, given her packed schedule. She just finished ``Romance & Cigarettes,'' a romantic comedy with James Gandolfini and Kate Winslet, and is filming the political satire ``American Dreamz,'' with Hugh Grant and Chris Klein, followed by ``Safety Glass'' with Amber Tamblyn this fall.

But don't expect to see Moore act in Mblem. ``I was going to sneak it on to 'Entourage,' but I thought it wouldn't be appropriate,'' she confessed. ``Maybe a little cheesy cheesy (che´ze) caseous. ? But maybe one day.''

Moore's real romantic life is tres hush-hush. But rumor is she might appear on on-again/off-again beau Zach Braff's sitcom ``Scrubs'' this fall. The lovebirds lovebirds
