I am beside myself. I just read that Amanda Bynes has decided to give up her acting career at the ripe-old age of 24. Why am I beside myself? Because I had never even heard of Amanda Bynes.
Initially I thought maybe I was out of the loop. So, I did a bit of research on her and I am no longer convinced I am the only clueless one here.
Amanda was last seen on the big screen in the 2007 movie Sydney White. I have never heard of that movie either. Hmmm…OK. Whatever. She’s retired and wants the world to know, so I am letting you all know. How’d she make her big official announcement? On Twitter of course. Maybe she had a really bad day; otherwise why wait 3 years after your last acting gig to officially give up acting via a Twitter rampage?
Here are the actual Tweets straight from the horse’s mouth leaving no room for gossip:
I’ve never written the movies & tv shows I’ve been apart of I’ve only acted like the characters the producers or directors wanted me to play
Being an actress isn’t as fun as it may seem
If I don’t love something anymore I stop doing it
I don’t love acting anymore so I’ve stopped doing it
I know 24 is a young age to retire but you heard it here first I’ve #retired

Oh well. I wish you well Amanda.
Speaking of Twitter; you can follow CelebMagnet On Twitter too. Click here! (I am sure the news that we are on Twitter is as equally earth-shattering as Amanda’s news that she is retiring from acting).
That’s too bad. I thought she was a decent, B-list TV actor. She did a show with Jenni Garth that lasted a couple of seasons. Oh well. Good luck to her.
That is really too bad. She was a very funny up-and-coming comedian who had a good show with Jennie Garth (“What I Like About You”) and was a Nickelodean star as a kid. Shame.
