OlderAmanda Bynes Unretires After One Month
Just one month ago, Amanda Bynes vented her frustrations about the entertainment industry and declared that she was retiring from acting.
Yesterday, the 24-year-old actress had a change of heart and tweeted, “I’ve unretired.”
Amanda also posted the trailer for her new comedy Easy A, due in theaters September 17.
“Check it out :),” she wrote.
WHAT DO YOU THINK of Amanda Bynes reversing her decision to quit acting? Why do you think she changed her mind?

she should really consider what she writes on twitter. I knew she would change her mind but after 1 month?
attention *****
attention ‘ho
*eyeroll*
is she a psycho or what?
Home girl needs to feed herself, right? Or something. Bottom line is that she needs monay – and what better way to get the green. Acting like a douche and getting money? Now that’s a deal no one with a brain would pass up, right?
I really don’t get her… But I like her! I’m glad
pretty sure she was high or drunk when she announced her retirement considering she wrote it at 5a.m
AMANDA , PLEASE RETIRE AGAIN PLEASE. WHO CARES
Good, now she can answer a few phone calls and die in the first 15 minutes of Scream 4 :)

Wow,who would have guessed?
Maybe she should stick a fork in an apple next,it’ll make her more useful to society.
What a surprise.

LAME!
First of all, I don’t really think it’s considered “retiring” when no one wants you in their movies anymore. Who cares if Amanda Bynes “decides” she no longer wants to act? She wasn’t exactly putting on mind-blowing performances when she was acting. In fact, I think she could fall of the face of the earth and no one would notice.
Second of all, her original post on Twitter was obviously a cry for the attention she hasn’t been getting and her latest post is a desparate second attempt. She’s a washed up child actor who needs to cut her losses while she’s ahead.
hey amanda f*ck off
she probably only said she was retiring because she couldn’t find any work.
attention hungry ***** that can’t act to save her life. do us all a favor and take some acting lessons from Sophia Loren Or Vanessa Redgrave both of whom have had 50+ year careers and won loads of awards and never had to do anything stupid for attention as the likes of you do. granted Redgrave is part of a dynasty
Why
drama
Jared why my comment is awaiting
As soon as she posted that I said she would regret it!
a forgiving interpretation is that she’s in quarter life crisis.
an unforgiving one is that she is bipolar or has some other form of mental disorder. seriously, read a few lines of her twitter and ull understand.
Weird, but I am glad, she is a great actress!
@jess: Wouldn’t she have said that the, er, day after as opposed to a MONTH? She wants a little attention.
what a flake! i knew it was just a case of sour grapes, can’t get a job so she pretends it’s her choice. no big loss to the entertainment industry, in my opinion, thousands are waiting in line to fill her space. attention seeking juvenile.
Not like anyone missed her when she said she retired. Don’t care that she is unretiring, as someone else said, it wasn’t as if she was putting in any great performances.
I am sure she could have done something else for attention.
Amanda is going thru something right now. Whether it is mental illness, drugs, or just a rough patch in a normal existence–as normal as being a child star can be–who can know. I am not going to form judgements, but will sit back and watch with an admixture of amusement and concern.
money
im glad she came out of retirement, shes so talented! :)
Good job Amanda you got our attention. Now what?
I REALLY like her but the fact it lasted a month is a joke.
wow. amazing. no.
I really think it was to get publicity! She probably had no work so she came up with this idea to get the spotlight back on her.
I guess she wanted to beat Jay-Z’s record for shortest retirement… well congratulations, Amanda. You won.
When I first heard she wanted to retire I was a bit sad but I’m glad she reconsidered acting again because she’s a great actress.
sigh
She is pulling a Lohan and acting strange to get press it is that simple her old clean image wasnt cutting it so her people are trying to liven things up. By having her retire , unretire, posts a link to her next film and then Twitter in an odd fashion. Its a pr move for sympathy or/and controversy and shes going along for the ride.
she is obviously just looking for the attention because nobody gives a damn about her. a normal person who genuinely wants to retire wouldnt even announce it the way she did..
I think she couldn’t find roles or roles was not getting offered to her and went to depression mode. so she said she was retiring. IF she said she doesn’t enjoy acting anymore, why is she going back to it. She is being shady..
good im glad she’s back! i love her & her movies
i knew it!!! c’mon if she’s an unstable person?… she has to consider what she puts on the web.!
it was bull PR from the beginning. she can’t land a job doing anything else that would feed her addictions.
Perhaps she did do this for attention, problem is I didn’t care then, and I don’t care now. To be honest, I forgot about the story of her “retiring” anyway.
I hate amanda she’s not has telant
She dosnot have beauty
Unretired, hahaha! That’s a good one AB. Now un-unretire.
Knew it was too good to be true.
Moron.
Idiot.
She’s not a major talent. She’s headed for a career of Lifetime moves, but it pays the bills…
DumbA$$.
some of you unhappy haters need to retire from blogging…
she’s funny, too..
….she’s a fcuking loser begging for attention. look at her, she has no career. this is all she can do for press. it’s fcuking pathetic.
What a way to stick to your gun!
Well her little attention seeking ploy worked. Good job, dummy. You’ve just lost all credibility.
You pick:
She stopped doing blow…
She is bi-polar…
She is lonely and looking for attention…
…
THANK GOD SHE IS ONE OF THE MOST LIKEABLE ACTORS OUT THERE TALET OR NOT, SHE CAN MAKE U SMILE, LAUGH, AND CARRY A FILM… THERE IS NO DENYING THAT! GOOD FOR YOU AMANDA!
Just another unedumacated, dumb, self-obsessed hollywood schmuck looking for a little PR. Go away.
Right, and like none of us here ever thought that was going to happen..NOT! Wave enough money in front of her nose and she’ll unretire (is that even a word?) quickly enough! They all would…and, being honest, I would too!
Her mistake was announcing to the world that she was going to retire in the first place just because she had a bit of a huff on. This just makes her look like an idiot now. She should have kept her tweeter closed first time round.
she come back because she needs money!
Seriously people, you act like you never got frustrated at your job and said out loud “I quit”. We have all done it, and she is only human. The only difference is when we say out loud we quit, and our boss hears us, then we quit, but if we typed it in let’s say twitter then our job is still secure. Amanda Bynes is a good role model for our younger generation and we all know we need more kid and pre-teen movies out there.
Yeah agree # 61
once an actor always an actor. There is no escaping or quitting. It takes a certain person to be in the business and no matter what they pretend they want, it’s like an addiction, they come right back to it. Glad she stayed on board, she has potential to fill Aniston’s shoes as she matures.
@rhonda01: i 100% agree with u….its not fair how people judge other people….we dont know the real reason so we cant say anything
I KNEW IT! She’s full of sh*t. And besides, how can you retire from a profession WHEN BARELY ANYONE was hiring you?! By the way, did her clothing line help deep six Steve and Barry’s? It was a crap store, anyway.
aww, best of luck to her in her new endeavors! unfortunately, i retired my desire to see any more of her work, and won’t be ‘unretiring’ that sentiment anytime soon…

LMAO
just one of those attention seekers in hollywood.
She obviously did it for attention. If her reason for retiring was because she doesn’t enjoy acting anymore, it would have taken way longer than a month for her to change her mind.
She is a great actress, but always thought she did it for attention. I believe she never really wanted to leave her career.
Too bad no one really cares…
Does it really matter what she is doing?
OH YESSS, I LOVE AMANDA IM SO GLAD SHE IS NOT RETIREING, SHE IS GREAT!!!!!!!!
No one cares.
@mano:
I’ll go more with bipolar xD
HAHAHAHAAA
I can totally understand why she wanted to retire – I mean, she’s in this industry since she was 10 years old. I guess she just wanted to change directions in life, but eventually understood that acting is what she’s good at…
Did someone actually say that she is a good role model?? See, this is why those with not much to contribute to society, make the most money. This was an obvious pr stunt. Did she wake up on day 29 of retirement and realized that she might actually have to work for a living like the rest of us peasants? Or, does she know that her name would be quickly forgotten. This is the nature of the beast that is Hollywood. If you weren’t a Narcissist before, you will be after you get a taste of “stardumb”. Well, the stunt worked…we’re talking about her. How sad and pathetic!
Who cares, really.
She probably was running low on money for crack…with the economy in bad shape, even crack is getting a little more expensive these days.
