Thanks to NoBS for these.

Sydney White rental information

Sydney White debuted in the number 9 spot on the DVD rentals chart for the week of January 27, generating $6.21 million dollars. It's a pretty good opening with no promotion for the DVD and is actually more than the amount the movie opened with in theaters. The sales numbers aren't out yet, but I'll update you with those as soon as they are released.

Sydney White cost $16.5 million to make and only made a little under $12 million in theaters, but no doubt will become profitable on DVD.

Please credit me if you use this information.

Amanda as Monica Lewinski?

Amanda's name is mentioned in an article talking about the casting of a film called Bill and the Silk Box, a drama-dy set to Elvis music about the relationship between former president Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky that rocked the White House.

Vovak said he's open regarding casting, contrasting with Stone's narrow
approach of portraying Bush as Josh Brolin. He sees Bill Paxton, David
Morse, or Tim Robbins in the role as Bill Clinton. Monica Lewinsky could be
played by Amanda Bynes, Nia Vadralos, or Minnie Driver.

More red carpet SAG Awards photos

Thanks to KayG for sending me these photos of Amanda at Sunday's SAG Awards. The more photos the better, I love this appearance.

Check out more here.

Amanda was highlighed as one of the stars that crushed the competition on the red carpet at the SAG Awards on Sunday. E! News says:

Amanda Bynes may only be 21, but the starlet proves she can hold her own like any seasoned red carpet strutter. From her deconstructed braids and loose locks to this gorgeous Marchesa gown with bejeweled bodice, the Hairspray star leaps to the head of the leading-lady line and makes us look forward to her next awards-show ensemble.

Bynes comments on Ledger tragedy

The writer's strike and the death of Heath Ledger was on everyone's mind at last night's Screen Actors Guild Awards. Amanda spoke to MTV News:

"I don't know what happened with Heath Ledger; none of us really know," shrugged Amanda Bynes, "Hairspray" nominee. "I was a huge fan of Heath Ledger. I loved him in '10 Things I Hate About You' and 'Brokeback Mountain,' so I was devastated. I didn't know him at all, but I was a huge fan of his. It was shocking. I'm really sad that he's gone; I can't believe he's not here anymore. I still wanted to see what he had to offer. It seemed like he still had so many years left as an actor, and I just wanted to watch him. I'm really, really sad."

"I think you just need to be really careful," added Bynes. "A lot of people want to escape from their life, and I think you should try to realize we're only here for a short amount of time, and not to feel bad for yourself. Realize that you're doing OK."

Us Weekly Magazine

Amanda appears to be in the current issue of Us Weekly as one of Hollywood's ten new power players. It will include the quote I posted yesterday and hopefully a picture. Click here for more information.

Ironically, they also chose Vanessa Anne Hudgens as one of their good girls. Since when does taking nude pictures for a boyfriend set a good example?

The Daily 10 on E! praised Amanda on their show last night.

The magazine is on stands now.

No early ending for Bynes

With so many tradegies occuring in Hollywood lately, Amanda Bynes is a role model and plans to keep it that way.

Amanda told Celebrity Smack:

“I don’t like to drink. I have definitely stayed out of the party scene. I’ve been offered to go to those parties, but I feel like I would be the one who would die if I did something."

Of reckless hard partying starlets she says, “I don’t know how they think they’re gonna live forever.”

For the week of January 6, 2008 Hairspray on DVD ended its run in the top 30 and has sold over 4,350,000 copies and made over $84,676,011. Add in the $200 million to movie made worldwide at the box office and over $35 million in rentals (where it's still in the top 50), and Hairspray is a giant sized hit with over $319 million in total revenue! You really can't stop the beat.

A note:

If you take any information or pictures for your site please credit me! I have come across many Amanda sites for a while now who are just copying and pasting my updates and changing one or two words. That is essentially plagarism and stealing and I don't appreciate it. If I find this happening again your site will go up on the Wall of Shame and if you have something say about it I'm not going to listen because I've already asked nicely several times. There's no reason we can all share and there's room for everyone. Thank you.

Exclusive: Amanda the new face of Vaseline

Amanda Bynes News is the first fan site to break the news of Amanda's first new project in 2008!

Amanda has been added as a face of Vaseline. The ad campaign features each celebrity posing with their favorite part of their body they use the cream on. Amanda's ad features her legs and feet and debuts in the February 2008 issue of Glamour magazine.

Amanda says:

I've been performing since I was really young - dancing, running, doing pratfalls. Your skin is your canvas; it shows how active you are. The scars from when you are four tell the story of how you've lived your life.

Our skin is the most important thing we have. It's our biggest organ. Care for it the way you would care for anything else. Eat healthy, drink water, and protect your skin.

Exclusive photos!

Sydney White DVD Review

PopMatters posted a DVD review of Sydney White and gave some great compliments to Amanda:

Star power is everything. That’s how it used to be back in the golden days of the Tinsel Town studio system. Acting was never priority number one. Instead, the way a man or woman commanded the camera, the direct connection with the audience beyond the character or the performance, were the key to cinematic success. Few in the current crop of celebrity have this special trait. Most get by on a combination of publicity and hype-enforced popularity. But if you’re looking for a post-modern example of this old school ideal, then Amanda Bynes is your amiable icon.

With her winsome, wholesome persona and slightly kooky undercurrent, she’s like a Bratz Lucille Ball, a seemingly serious actress who can easily slip on the requisite banana peels when needed. Though she’s currently geared toward the tween to Pinkberry set, her potential easily surpasses her demographical reach. That’s why the winning Sydney White is such an important step for the star. Now available from Universal on an excellent DVD release, this wonderfully effective film is her first foray into quasi-adult fare. As a result, it functions as a future career gauge, measuring how much true star staying power she really has.

Sydney White is a surprisingly effective film that produces nothing but piles of smiles…and Amanda Bynes is the reason why.

Bynes called a brat at DPA gift lounge

I normally don't like to post these gossipy items to spread rumors even more, but I thought this was so stupid that I would post it anyway:

Pop Tarts overheard whispers of Amanda Bynes being a "brat" at the "World Experience" DPA gifting Lounge at The Peninsula Hotel. The "Hairspray" hottie came in with a significant posse (including her puppy) and filled her freebie bag with French-labeled beauty products and perfume, but when she went to take a stunning silk top from the rack, she was turned away.

"I'm busy talking to other people right now," the vendor said. "Nobody has introduced me to you yet."

I find it funny that they called Amanda a brat when the vendor seems like the one who was being rude. And they are calling her out for doing what everyone else did at the event (getting free stuff). Hollywood is so stupid. She stays out of trouble unlike other people her age but they still have to find a reason to knock her. What do you think?

Next project delayed by writer's strike

As expected, Amanda has announced that her next project has been delayed by the strike, reported by LA Daily News:

"The strike is affecting me," she said. "I had a few projects in the works and they were sort of stopped dead in their tracks. But I've taken it as a time to play with my puppy and just relax because once it is over, I think everything is going to come back strong. I hope!"

She also detailed why she was so happy to be a part of Hairspray.

"The reason I wanted to be in this movie so badly is because it has such a great message to send to kids," she said. "It's a wonderful movie that families can watch together. It's a movie about accepting yourself and accepting others for their differences and it's just got great music. I feel very lucky to be in it."

"I was lucky to be in this ensemble," she said. "To be with Queen Latifah and Christopher Walken, Michelle Pfeiffer, Allison Janney and John Travolta, I look up to all those actors. So I got to learn a lot and I got to work with Adam Shankman, who is such a talented, amazing director. I felt so blessed."
