What can I possibly say about Amanda Bynes? I have loved her from her days on Nickelodeon, to that amazing role in She’s the Man where she played opposite Channing Tatum in a cheap Raquel Welch sassy #36 twig brown wig. If you have the internet, you know that she is catching a lot of heat for her “crazy behavior” nowadays, but I still love her as much as I ever did. How, you ask? Because I think she is doing it on purpose.
For one, we know Amanda Bynes is a pothead. So anyone who has ever even smoked pot recreationally knows that sending a tweet such as: “I want Drake to murder my vagina” might make perfect sense in your head if you are high, and then haunt you for the rest of your life.
Two, she hasn’t worked very much lately. Any time a celebrity starts to wander into irrelevance, they feel the need to get back into the public eye. Joaquin Phoenix pretended to see a frog on his head on national tv in the last few years to get back into the spotlight and then blamed it on art. Whether or not she has a serious drug problem, a chemical imbalance, or just wants a few write-ups in OkMagazine, it is working like a charm. Also, she has always been a comedy girl. Even if she went balls to the wall bat-shit crazy, it would probably just make her more funny.
Lastly, Amanda Bynes is allegedly coming out with a clothing and perfume line. Getting her name in people’s mouths is the first step to generating publicity for that endeavor. Also, if she is attempting to be a clothing designer I am sure she would rather be akin to women like Patricia Fields and Betsey Johnson. Of course, if Amanda Bynes cartwheels down the runway that bootleg curly streaked wig of hers might end up in Kim Kardashian’s lap. All I am saying is that eccentricity is the name of the game when it comes to designers, and Amanda Bynes seems to be generating that in spades.
The moral of the story is, whether or not Amanda Bynes is in fact insane, I would rather read her updates than get info on whatever fame-whoring, product endorsing tweets the Kardashians are forcing on the universe.
