Amanda is featured in the new Life Story, probably the one about Zac Efron since they ask about him.

In its second weekend, Hairspray made an estimated $15,550,000, bringing the total to $59,307,000 in 2 weeks. It's holding up well so be sure to see it if you haven't yet.
Updates will cool down for a little bit since Amanda is done promoting the film but they will begin to roll again soon because Dear is releasing in 3 weeks and she will be busy for that.

Amanda did an interview with UK website Popcorn. Here are some highlights.
A lot of actresses would maybe be more protective of their image and want to look good, but you don't seem to mind.
That is my image! When people see me dolled up for an event, they're like, you know, 'that's so different for you.' My image is being goofy and being silly and looking bad. I feel you've got to do what you've got to do, and for me it's more fun being goofy, and to play that part in a movie.
London's not new to you, is it? You spent some time here shooting What A Girl Wants about five years ago.
Yes, I had a great time here. I was 16, and I'm 21 now, so I was here at an important time in my life. I loved going to museums here, and going around shopping. And now I'm here again, but I don't have much time. I have to leave tomorrow and I'm in hotels all day, but I did have one day where I got to walk around a little bit. I love it here and I really want to come back and take some time to enjoy everything that London has to offer.

Hairspray's talented young cast was featured on USA Today's web site, here's what they said about Amanda!
Article:
Article:
Amanda Bynes, 21
How you know her:
Nickelodeon's The Amanda Show (1999-02) and WB sitcom What I Like About You (2002-06). Films include Big Fat Liar (2002), She's the Man (2006).
Hairspray role:
Penny Pingleton, Tracy's sheltered, lollipop-licking best pal who's not afraid to defy racial barriers for true love.
How she describes Penny:
"Usually, I'm the confident, go-getter Tracy girl. To sit back and react to a scene and then become a woman at the end was a lot of fun."
How she handled all those lollipops:
"It was good for me, but bad for my dad, who is a retired dentist. The day my parents came to the set, I went through about 40 or 50. My dad asked, 'You're not actually eating them, are you?' I told him it's all part of the job."
How she liked her '60s outfits:
"I wore one shirt that was vintage. When I started sweating, it smelled like the '60s."
Worst bad-hair experience:
"When I was 15, I got a haircut from a famous hairstylist in L.A. She gave me a short shag. I'm a Jewish girl with curly hair. When it dried naturally, it was atrocious."
If she were to do another movie musical, which would she choose?
"I like Jersey Boys. There is a girl role, the one who falls for Frankie Valli."
What's next?
Film comedy Sydney White. "It's Snow White in college."
Shankman's take:
"She is like a young Lucille Ball."
Hairspray is holding up really well in the weekday estimates, where typically movies don't make as much money as during the weekend.
According to Box Office Mojo, it added another estimated 4,515,000 on Monday alone lifting it's total to nearly $32 million in 4 days. Now that's big, especially with such stiff summer competition!

Box Office Mojo reported that Hairspray came in at #3 for the weekend with $27.5 million dollars, making its debut higher than predictions and also making it the biggest opening for a musical ever!
This is a solid and strong opening for the movie which cost about $75 million to make. Adam Sandler's Chuck and Larry came in at #1, but all everyone is talking about is Hairspray!
