These pictures are older but still great. Amanda looks pretty here, I like her hair this color the best.
Thanks to NoBS for these.
Vovak said he's open regarding casting, contrasting with Stone's narrow
approach of portraying Bush as Josh Brolin. He sees Bill Paxton, David
Morse, or Tim Robbins in the role as Bill Clinton. Monica Lewinsky could be
played by Amanda Bynes, Nia Vadralos, or Minnie Driver.
Amanda Bynes may only be 21, but the starlet proves she can hold her own like any seasoned red carpet strutter. From her deconstructed braids and loose locks to this gorgeous Marchesa gown with bejeweled bodice, the Hairspray star leaps to the head of the leading-lady line and makes us look forward to her next awards-show ensemble.
"I don't know what happened with Heath Ledger; none of us really know," shrugged Amanda Bynes, "Hairspray" nominee. "I was a huge fan of Heath Ledger. I loved him in '10 Things I Hate About You' and 'Brokeback Mountain,' so I was devastated. I didn't know him at all, but I was a huge fan of his. It was shocking. I'm really sad that he's gone; I can't believe he's not here anymore. I still wanted to see what he had to offer. It seemed like he still had so many years left as an actor, and I just wanted to watch him. I'm really, really sad."
"I think you just need to be really careful," added Bynes. "A lot of people want to escape from their life, and I think you should try to realize we're only here for a short amount of time, and not to feel bad for yourself. Realize that you're doing OK."
“I don’t like to drink. I have definitely stayed out of the party scene. I’ve been offered to go to those parties, but I feel like I would be the one who would die if I did something."
Of reckless hard partying starlets she says, “I don’t know how they think they’re gonna live forever.”
I've been performing since I was really young - dancing, running, doing pratfalls. Your skin is your canvas; it shows how active you are. The scars from when you are four tell the story of how you've lived your life.
Our skin is the most important thing we have. It's our biggest organ. Care for it the way you would care for anything else. Eat healthy, drink water, and protect your skin.
Star power is everything. That’s how it used to be back in the golden days of the Tinsel Town studio system. Acting was never priority number one. Instead, the way a man or woman commanded the camera, the direct connection with the audience beyond the character or the performance, were the key to cinematic success. Few in the current crop of celebrity have this special trait. Most get by on a combination of publicity and hype-enforced popularity. But if you’re looking for a post-modern example of this old school ideal, then Amanda Bynes is your amiable icon.
With her winsome, wholesome persona and slightly kooky undercurrent, she’s like a Bratz Lucille Ball, a seemingly serious actress who can easily slip on the requisite banana peels when needed. Though she’s currently geared toward the tween to Pinkberry set, her potential easily surpasses her demographical reach. That’s why the winning Sydney White is such an important step for the star. Now available from Universal on an excellent DVD release, this wonderfully effective film is her first foray into quasi-adult fare. As a result, it functions as a future career gauge, measuring how much true star staying power she really has.
Sydney White is a surprisingly effective film that produces nothing but piles of smiles…and Amanda Bynes is the reason why.
Pop Tarts overheard whispers of Amanda Bynes being a "brat" at the "World Experience" DPA gifting Lounge at The Peninsula Hotel. The "Hairspray" hottie came in with a significant posse (including her puppy) and filled her freebie bag with French-labeled beauty products and perfume, but when she went to take a stunning silk top from the rack, she was turned away.
"I'm busy talking to other people right now," the vendor said. "Nobody has introduced me to you yet."
"The strike is affecting me," she said. "I had a few projects in the works and they were sort of stopped dead in their tracks. But I've taken it as a time to play with my puppy and just relax because once it is over, I think everything is going to come back strong. I hope!"
"The reason I wanted to be in this movie so badly is because it has such a great message to send to kids," she said. "It's a wonderful movie that families can watch together. It's a movie about accepting yourself and accepting others for their differences and it's just got great music. I feel very lucky to be in it."
"I was lucky to be in this ensemble," she said. "To be with Queen Latifah and Christopher Walken, Michelle Pfeiffer, Allison Janney and John Travolta, I look up to all those actors. So I got to learn a lot and I got to work with Adam Shankman, who is such a talented, amazing director. I felt so blessed."
“I am sad. It was the first year I was gonna get to go so I was definitely excited about it,” Bynes said. “But it's ok. Hopefully one day [I’ll get to go].”
