Amanda Bynes turns to Ozempic to achieve weight-loss goal
Amanda Bynes has turned to Ozempic in bid to reach her ideal weight.
The 39-year-old star has revealed via social media that she's turned to the well-known weight-loss drug in a bid to reach 130 lbs.
In a video shared on Instagram, Amanda explained: "I'm going on Ozempic. So excited.
"I'm 173 now so I hope to get down to like 130, which would be awesome so I look better in paparazzi pictures."
The Love Wrecked star - who began her career as a child actor - has promised to keep her social media followers up to date with her weight-loss journey.
She said: "I will post about my Ozempic journey of course."
Last year, Amanda revealed that she'd gained more than 20 lbs, after suffering with depression.
The actress - who has previously battled mental health struggles and drug addiction - insisted that she was on the road to recovery, after overcoming the worst of her health issues.
Appearing on Instagram in March 2024, Amanda shared: "I'm doing a lot better now and have learned to do opposite action when I don't feel like working out or eating clean.
"I weigh 162 lbs. right now and want to get back to 110 lbs."
Amanda shot to fame as a child on Nickeldeon and went on to have a successful career in Hollywood. However, she quit the entertainment business over a decade ago after enduring a number of personal problems, including an addiction to the ADHD prescription medication Adderall.
Amanda launched her own podcast in 2023, but she pulled the plug on the project after just one episode so that she could pursue a more steady job.
The former child star revealed that she was quitting podcasting and was instead working towards getting her "manicurist license".
At the time, she wrote on Instagram: "The 1st episode of my podcast did really well. I was actually surprised and of course was going to keep going after friends encouraged me to.
'After thinking about it, though, I would rather get my manicurist license and have a consistent job.
'I'm going to follow that path instead. Thank you for following my journey! (sic)"

Buyer of epic mansion ‘The Lighthouse' revealed
A fitness power couple has been revealed as the buyers of a glitzy Gold Coast mansion complete with a rooftop pool, casino and gaming arcade. Influencers Lauren Simpson and Mark Carroll paid $9.5m for a Sovereign Islands property known as The Lighthouse. Simpson, who is a world bikini champion and has 1.8 million Instagram followers, and Carroll, a successful fitness trainer, have shared clips of the house with their followers. The Lighthouse changed hands for $9m in March, 2024 and was listed for sale late last year with Ivy Wu and Isaac Kim of Ivy Realty. Mr Kim described the four-level home mansion as 'iconic'. 'The buyers wanted a bigger house and were absolutely blown away with the Broadwater views and obviously the scale of the house and all the features,' Mr Kim said. 'It only took them one inspection and then they bought it.' MORE NEWS: Tammy Hembrow's $50m empire at risk in divorce bombshell Mayor lands massive $1.15m payday Named The Lighthouse for the glass pyramid on its rooftop shining over the Broadwater, the house was crowned Master Builder's Gold Coast Home of the Year when it was completed in 2017. The home comprises about 1,380 sqm of internal living space including four bedrooms and nine bathrooms. Its bold black facade, trimmed in white with pops of red, features turrets and porthole-like windows, while the home's top level hosts a full-floor party deck, complete with rooftop pool, barbecue kitchen and teppanyaki bar. 'The swimming pool on the rooftop is incredible,' Mr Kim said. 'Imagine swimming in that pool and overlooking the Broadwater.' Property features include a luxurious Hamptons-inspired kitchen with marble benchtops, executive office, lavish master bedroom with walk-in dressing room, boudoir, ensuite and private balcony, wine cellar, gym, and lift servicing all levels. The sellers last year renovated the basement and put in a cinema room, fully fitted casino and gaming arcade. Property records show Simpson and Carroll own another house on Sovereign Islands that they bought in 2021. Mr Kim said the prestige market on Sovereign Islands was strong following a string of mega sales including 44 Knightsbridge Parade West, which sold for $8.5m through Ivy Realty. Another property known as the castle, at 55 Knightsbridge Parade West, Sovereign Islands, sold in a $14.5m deal via Coastal agent Edin Kara last month. The highest recorded sale on the Sovereign Islands is $20m, paid by Clive Palmer in 2021 for 7-13 King Arthurs Court.
