Publicist: "Amanda never discussed retirement, sounded great"

The New York Daily News posted an article in which her reps discussed Amanda's surprise retirement. According to her publicist, Amanda did discuss taking a break, but "sounded great" last week while doing press for Easy A.

Her publicist tells the Daily News that Bynes "sounded great" as late as last Thursday when she was doing press for her upcoming movie, "Easy A."

Melissa Raubvogel claims Bynes had said she wanted to "take some down time" but never mentioned retiring.

As for the Daily Beast's report that Bynes was fired from the Farrelly brothers film "Hall Pass," the actress' rep fervently denied it, saying her client left over a "scheduling conflict."

The author hopes Easy A will prove successful so Amanda will return to movies. Check out the rest of the article here.
