Amanda Bynes sets the record straight

For the record, Amanda Bynes has NOT retired and has no regrets for publicity she's received over her Twitter account.



She told People Magazine at the MTV Movie Awards:

"You say what you feel because you felt it at the moment."

"It's sort of like what I would tell a reporter if I were doing an interview," Bynes says. "You kind of have to let people know a little bit about you. And once you've been in the business for a long time, people kind of know stuff about your life."

Amanda also clarified her decision to take a break from Hollywood.

"I really just needed some time off. I've been acting since I was seven, and I'm 25 now. So, it's not retiring so much. It's just taking some time off."

Nikki Blonsky still in touch with Amanda

In an interview with Broadway.com, Nikki Blonsky, currently making her New York debut on Broadway in Love Loss and What I Wore, mentioned that she is still in touch with her Hairspray costars, including Amanda.

Were you upset that plans for a Hairspray sequel were scrapped?

I love Hairspray so much. It’s just magical to me. I would just die to work with John Travolta again. We’re very close, and I still speak to him all the time. Same with Amanda Bynes and Zac Efron, which I know girls will like to hear. It was such a fun, life-changing experience for all of us.

Maybe she can convince Amanda to make a comeback?!
