Bynes in Cincinnati

Cincinnati.com spoke to Amanda in preparation for her Saturday appearance to promote Dear.

Question: What is the idea behind your fashion line. Why Steve & Barry's?

Answer: ... This is a clothing line for girls of all ages who like to feel comfortable and like clothes that reflect their personality. For me, I like colorful clothes ... that fit all the different moods I'm in.

(Steve & Barry's) is an amazing store filled with clothes that are so well made, but every piece is under $20... I just love the fact that clothes I would get to design wouldn't be overpriced ... And I love the fact the store has Bitten and Starbury with Stephon Marbury.

Q: What has been your biggest fashion faux pas?

A: ... I definitely wouldn't tell you because you'll find the photo and then it will run (in the paper). But since I'm 21, I'm finding my fashion legs at the moment. I like to try on different things. But you can't regret anything you've worn because it was what you were feeling in the moment. You can only learn from it.

If you go see her be sure to leave a comment!

"Hairspray" DVD coming in November?

Sunday night Hairspray took home the award for Favorite Summer Movie at the Teen Choice Awards, surprising many who expected it to go to High School Musical 2, which dominated the evening.

Nevertheless the crowd roared when John Travolta, Nikki Blonsky, and Elijah Kelly accepted their surfboard.

Elijah said something about a DVD release in November. Hmm...stay tuned!

The film has made over $107 million and is the 3rd most successful movie ever.

What's dear to Amanda?

USA Today has an interview with Amanda. In it, she talks about why she is an isn't like other young stars her age, and what's dear to her. Here are some excerpts.

Q: What does it feel like when you hear you are being compared to other members of young Hollywood, such as Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears?

A: We're only compared because of our age. Other than that, I never wanted to be a model. I never wanted to be a serious actress. I started off doing comedy. I did a stand-up comedy camp at the Laugh Factory, and I started out on Nickelodeon (in 1996 with the sketch comedy show All That). I'm in no way in competition with them. I feel like I have a totally different thing.

Q: So not Marilyn Monroe?

A: No, I don't want to be Marilyn Monroe. In many ways, that's a good comparison. Because Marilyn Monroe was a sexpot, all that stuff that I have no interest in. For me, it's much easier to just try to make people laugh than to try to be the hottest thing in the world.

Q: What are you planning to do for the rest of the summer?

A: I'm promoting (Dear) here and then Sydney White, which is coming out in September. No Labor Day plans. Other than that, I'm just trying to figure out what movie to take on next.

Amanda talks about what she does in her free time and more about Dear, so check out the rest of the article here.

I hope in between all this she finds some time to take a break!

'Hairspray' hits $100 million

Hairspray passed the coveted $100 million mark this weekend when it grossed $4,270,000 for $100,573,000 in five weeks. The movie is still showing 2,389 theaters and is continuing to be a big success for New Line Cinema.


This is Amanda's second movie to hit the $100 million dollar mark (after Robots, which made $128 million) and first live action film to do so.

Hairspray cost $74 million to make and is currently the #7 film at the box office after over a month of release.

It is currently the 18th highest grossing film of 2007 as well.

This is one of the best reviewed and more successful films of the summer since many have underperformed and recieved less than stellar reviews.

Congratulations to the cast, crew, and studio on making a great movie!

Dear premieres in New York

Salute to the good girls

MTV takes a look at successful young stars...the ones who actually work and stay out of trouble.

With the misadventures of Britney, Lindsay, Nicole and Paris dominating the tabloids and mainstream news alike, it's easy to get the impression that young Hollywood is headed nowhere (and probably at a rate well over the speed limit).

But not every starlet is getting caught up in acts of public nudity, moving violations or more serious crimes. While the temptations that come with fame are there for all young stars, many have managed to keep the focus on their careers instead of their personal drama. So if you need a break from the tabloids, here's a salute to the cream of the "good girls" crop.

Rap sheet: Broke out from the TV variety show "All That" to standout stardom on "The Amanda Show" in the late '90s; went mainstream with "What I Like About You" on the WB; established herself in Hollywood with films like "She's the Man" and "Hairspray"; and managed to maintain a squeaky-clean profile while transitioning from kid star into young adulthood.

What makes her a "good girl": From the gender-bending comedy "She's the Man" to the high-energy musical "Hairspray," Bynes has brought her comedic appeal and likable girl-next-door charm to a multitude of projects. And throughout, she's shown that the road from child star to adulthood doesn't have to run through rehab or the county jail. She's quick to credit her supportive yet strict parents for keeping her out of trouble. "I like being with my family and friends, and I don't need to be out at the clubs," she told "Access Hollywood." "If you're hanging out with the partying people or your parents don't care, then it's going to be harder. For me, I'm really close with my parents."

It's about time they start to get some long overdue attention. The list also includes Beyonce, Mandy Moore, Anne Hathaway, Ashley Tisdale, and Christina Aguilera.

Buy That Bynes

The New York Post has a good article written about the launch of Dear and a great photo too.

"In my family, we love a bargain,” says a bubbly and very blond Amanda Bynes. “And I love things that are well-made, but it’s always nice when I find something that doesn’t break the bank,” adds the 21-year-old actress fully clad in Dear, her new under-$20 clothing line debuting at Steve & Barry’s today.

Her favorite bargain destinations are H&M and Forever 21. And when she was younger, she says, her dad made her ditch the idea of rhinestone Kate Spade sandals for Payless pairs instead.

“I’ve been drawing dresses since I was 8 years old. I used to watch the Oscars and sketch dresses,” she says. “If I wasn’t an actress, I would have definitely gone to Parsons. I love fashion.”

The article is quite long so you can read the rest here.

New York Daily News Dear Launch Comments

New York Daily News was at the Dear launch and had this to say:

It's hoped that Amanda Bynes uses more fabric in her affordable new Dear clothing line than she wore Wednesday night. Spydiners at Taka, the West Village sushi joint, tell us her dress was "seriously shorter than socially appropriate. If it was any shorter, we would've been able to see her butt." BTW, the "Hairspray" star is 21, but stuck to Diet Coke.

I didn't think her dress was too short.
