The dark side of fame?
Good girl gone bad?
Is Amanda Bynes the new Lindsay Lohan?
I've been on twitter lately most of time and usually once in a while i will click on to the what's trending page and see what's trending on twitter. A few months ago, i was doing the usual routine of going through my twitter and checking out what's happening and browsing through the trends that's on twitter and 'Amanda Bynes' one of top that was trending world-wide. To satisfy my curiosity, i click on the name and there were endless amount of negative tweets about her and everyone basically were tweeting to her negative comments and dissing her so on and so forth, furthermore, television shows such as E! Entertainment were talking about her.
But, i was wondering, what did she do to provoke so many people, making her the most talked about celebrity. Even till today there's so much that's going on with her life and some even relate her to the famous Hollywood celebrity that life had gone wrong after drug abuse and endless court hearings and in and out rehab, Lindsay Lohan.
Here are some of the tweets to Amanda as of now
A brief introduction about Amanda Bynes (Wikipedia)
Amanda Laura Bynes (born April 3, 1986) is an American actress. Bynes rose to prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s on the Nickelodeon series All That and The Amanda Show. From 2002 to 2006, she starred on the WB sitcom What I Like About You. Bynes has also starred in several films, including What a Girl Wants (2003), She's the Man (2006), Hairspray (2007), Sydney White (2007) and Easy A (2010).

Amanda Bynes as 'Penny Pingleton' in Hairspray(2007)
I personally believe that Amanda Bynes has a great talent in acting and it shows tremendously in the movies she acted in and I saw two of them which is Easy A where is acted as Marianne along side with Emma Stones and Hairspray where she acted as Penny along side with teenage icon Zac efron.
As far i know, Amanda Bynes was not one of the creation of Disney unlike Lindsay Lohan however, she started off working with Nickelodeon. She started off having leads in television shows such as "All That" and "The Amanda Show" before her film debut. Amanda Bynes also signed a five year contract with Steve & Barry's to create a fashion line however everything was cut short as Steve & Barry filed for bankruptcy causing the fashion to be out of business in January 2009.
Till then, Amanda Bynes was rarely in the spotlight and in 2011 during an interview with People's magazine, she said that she will be taking time off and retiring from acting and focusing on establishing a career to become a fashion designer and rapper.
However, things started to head to a wrong direction as Amanda Bynes was back in the spotlight, this time for something bad. In March 2012, Amanda was stopped by the police for using the cellphone while driving. A month later, she was charged and arrested after driving under the influence. In Sept 2012, Amanda bynes was once again charged for two alleged hit and run incidents which were dismissed upon a financial settlement between the victims and Bynes. And if you think that list has ended, no, there are a few more...
like driving with a suspended driving license,criminal possesion of marijuana, throwing a bong from the window of her 36th floor apartment....
All we can say is that she is out of control and no one is stopping her. It is like a young and beautiful girl that gone bad and starting to lose herself and fucking her entire career up.
Amanda Bynes continued by writting on her twitter about having an eating disorder and started to insult and diss famous superstars.
Here are the tweets from Amanda Bynes:
Everyone is trying to know why the fuck is she trying to diss them when they didn't even diss her in the first place??? We don't get you Amanda Bynes. I'm not hating her but it's just that why do you have to insult or diss them when they did not even diss you in the first place, even if they did, the downside of fame is that you're bound to get haters and many just live with it and suck it up.....
Furthermore, all of this unnecessary behavior has caught the attention of the tabloid like TMZ , paparazzi, Hollywood Gossi and everyone is just going to talk about you after so much that has been happening.
And a few days ago, Amanda Bynes was arrested at her New York apartment for allegedly smoking marijuana in the lobby of her building and appeared at court on a Friday morning that week.
Many people knew the Amanda Bynes needed help, she was turning 'crazy' and some are not sure that whether all this behavior was because of a mental illness and on 24th July, Amanda Bynes was hospitalized
under a 5150 mental health evaluation hold after setting a fire in a driveway of a stranger's house in Thousand Oaks, California.
"Section 5150 is a section of the California Welfare and Institutions Code (specifically, the Lanterman–Petris–Short Act or "LPS") which allows a qualified officer or clinician to involuntarily confine a person deemed to have a mental disorder that makes him or her a danger to self, a danger to others, and/or gravely disabled" -Wikipedia
On the other hand,doctors at her psychiatric centre have made an initial assessment that the actress is suffering from 'schizophrenic tendencies.' I'm not a psychiatrist and i'm not really sure about what 'schizophrenic tendencies' are but i know it's really a serious illness.
All eyes are now on Amanda Bynes and everyone is glad somehow that Bynes is receiving the help she need for her road to recovery and comeback .... I can say that fame comes with a price that is good and bad.. the good side is that you get to be famous and everyone will know you and you get the benefits of being the celebrity and some will say it's because of the money... however.. the bad side is that because of fame everyone wants to know what is going on with your life like the tabloid, paparazzi, magazine, the press and there will be bound to be haters because when there is lots of love, there's gonna be hate too ..and some superstars could not keep with the quick pace of fame and some start to result in the use of alcohol and drugs and rash behaviour and slowly and slowly we see their career and life at stake..
On the other hand , i believe that it takes two hands to clap.. all this would not happen if the tabloid magazine and the paparazzi knew how important privacy is to celebrities and even normal people.. How would you feel if someone starts to stalk and take random photos of you and post things that are not true and break into your privacy.. The constant battle with paparazzi are something celebrities can't avoid..Photos up online and tabloid magazine stirring up unnecessary drama and untrue stories about them.. Some may say that do not care about what's said online, but definitely deep inside they will feel torn apart and hurt by all the comments that are untrue.
Every superstar should be acknowledge for their talent and not for their private life or where there are eating, who they are dating.. It's all about their talent.. but nothing is going to change, people working as paparazzi and in the tabloid magazine still need to earn a living....as for now many people hope that Amanda Bynes will recover from her illness and if everyone really want her to get well, tabloid magazines , paparazzi and Hollywood gossip, it's time to give her a god damn break for goodness sake, let her recover....
