Does Bynes need a break?

Things with Amanda are slow right now, but CBCoolest found this article from early this fall and the writer wondered if Amanda needed a break. Here is a quote from the article:

Having stayed out of the tabloid spotlight (unlike a majority of her former teen-queen counterparts), I think most people are rooting for Bynes to succeed (I know I am), but if she keeps taking on such formulaic roles, I'm not so sure how that will ever happen.

So tell me, Popwatchers, how do you think can she save her future? Do you think she's already squandered her early fame and success? Or do you think she keeps taking on the same type of role over and over again because Hollywood just doesn't know how to handle funny women?

Of course we don't think so, but read it for yourself and see what you think.
