Bynes was preyed on by older men
December 27th

Actress AMANDA BYNES was preyed on as a vulnerable young starlet - by shady older movie industry figures who tried to seduce her.
The 21-year-old, who refuses to reveal the culprits, claims her good upbringing gave her the wits and strength to rebuff their advances.
She says, "I definitely met some guys who go for young girls. My parents taught me to watch out for those guys. Guys who like interchangeable young actresses." The Hairspray actress also dislikes actresses who hook up with wealthy men just for their money: "I don't need a man for money or fame. I make my own money."

Charlotte Observer Interview
December 8th

Where do you get the inspiration for your own style?
Just walk around the street in New York. It inspires me to, for instance, wear jeans tucked into my boots. To do those little things that take longer like tuck in my jeans or accessorize with a cool scarf. I'm lazy, so I would wear a robe outside. As far as celebrities go, Carrie Bradshaw, Sarah Jessica Parker's character from "Sex and the City." She always looked really chic, but went for it and took risks.... I'm inspired by people that are out of the box.

HairSpray Soundtrack is Platinum
December 8th

"The Grammy Award-nominated Hairspray Motion Picture Soundtrack (Best Compilation Soundtrack Album For A Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media Grammy Award) was recently certified Platinum by the RIAA, selling in excess of 1 million copies in the US!

The Hairspray Soundtrack spent 9 consecutive weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 chart this summer after its July 10, 2007 release.

“The enormous success of the Hairspray soundtrack is due to the brilliant team of its producers and songwriters Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman,” says Jason Linn, New Line Executive Vice President of Music who oversees New Line Records. “Its Platinum status and Grammy nomination mark two ‘firsts’ for New Line Records — so this week has been a huge milestone for us.”

Amanda looks up to Reese Witherspoon
December 1st

But some young stars riding the current wave are keeping it together by staying grounded and pursuing roles in movies geared to adults. Amanda Bynes, 21, got her start on the Nickelodeon series "All That” and "The Amanda Show” before breaking into network television with "What I Like About You” and transitioning to feature films. Bynes recently starred in "Hairspray” and said her career track will not be a short burst of fame.

"I look at Reese Witherspoon,” Bynes said of the former child actor turned Oscar winner. "That looks like the career and life I aspire to.”
