Amanda Bynes vapes on solo outing in West Hollywood after revealing drastic new weight-loss attempt
Amanda Bynes was spotted looking casual and relaxed while taking care of errands in West Hollywood on Tuesday. The 39-year-old former child star was glimpsed taking a puff of her vaping device after doing some shopping around the Los Angeles–adjacent city. She wore an ultra-casual look for the outing that mostly covered up her figure after she admitted that she was going on the buzzy weight-loss drug Ozempic. The former All That star was layered up with an off-white hoodie that she wore zipped up all the way, and she paired it with a long set of white athletic shorts. Despite looking as if she was dressed for a workout, Amanda contrasted her clothing with a stylish pair of tan canvas Gucci Jordaan loafers, which cost around $1,050 on the fashion house's website. She completed her ensemble with a compact black handbag and a pair of boxy black sunglasses, and she sported her peroxide blond hair tied back. Amanda had already made some purchases and carried a brown shopping bag with her. She appeared to cut a more athletic figure compared to recent weeks, though it's unclear if she has already started using Ozempic to help with her weight-loss goals. The She's The Man star announced her plan a month earlier on social media, joking that she wanted to lose weight so that she would look better when she was spotted out in public. Amanda was also willing to share her current weight as she outlined her goals for her fans. 'Oh, 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,' Bynes said in the video. That weight would likely put her well within what is considered a healthy BMI range at her height. She added, 'I will post about my Ozempic journey of course.' Last year, Amanda revealed she had gained 20 pounds due to depression, and at the time said she'd like to get back to the 110 pounds she weighed as a teenager. Concerningly, that weight would likely put the former actress — who is reportedly around 5ft7in tall — in the underweight category. Amanda announced her foray into the X-rated subscription site OnlyFan in April, but she insisted to her fans she was using it merely to communicate with them and claiming she won't be sharing anything 'sleazy.' Calling it a 'career renaissance,' she said she wants to use it to divulge stories from her time at Nickelodeon, a year after the release of the explosive documentary Quiet On Set, which painted a picture of a 'toxic environment' at the children's TV network. A source close to the former child star has claimed the move will not only afford her the opportunity to make money, share her fashion designs and provide a potential springboard into reality TV, but will also be a safe space to reveal 'what happened from her past at Nickelodeon.' 'Amanda was looking into making money and is convinced that OnlyFans will bring some serious cash her way,' the insider told 'Her intentions are to do this before she seeks any reality show opportunities. 'She understands the stigma around OnlyFans, but she is determined to make this very safe — nothing naughty. 'She wants to share some of her future designs with her fans, collaborate with them and she also wants to tell stories to people who don't know everything about what happened from her past at Nickelodeon. 'She wants to make it a spot where fans can go and treat it like a meet and greet.' The insider said she 'doesn't care if friends won't like that she is doing this' as she is 'looking to change course on how she has lived her life the last few years.' They added: 'She is seeing OnlyFans as a bit of a career renaissance.' Bynes announced her OnlyFans debut on Instagram, 15 years after quitting the entertainment business. 'I'm doing onlyfans to chat with my fans through dm's,' she wrote alongside a screenshot of her new profile. 'I won't be posting any sleazy content. Excited to join.' She is charging fans more than $50 per month to access her page, which currently has mirror selfies. Bynes has maintained a relatively low profile since quitting Hollywood in 2010. It followed a tumultuous time for the troubled star who suffered a highly publicized breakdown in the early 2010s before being placed under a legal conservatorship by her parents for nine years back in 2013. In the wake of the documentary Quiet on the Set, a video circulated of a bikini-clad Bynes, who was a child at the time, sitting in a hot tub with a fully clothed Schneider. The clip was taken from Bynes' recurring sketch, Amanda's Jacuzzi, which saw the young star interview guests in the bubbling pool. Commentators recalled Schneider and Bynes being 'very close,' including 'physically.' Karyn Finley Thompson, who worked as an editor on several Nickelodeon shows, said: 'There were many times that I saw Amanda sitting behind him, hugging him or giving him like a neck massage or whatever. 'Dan and Amanda had a close relationship, and I didn't think anything different than that. The hot tub scene though I always thought was a little odd.' Schneider departed from the network in 2018 amid numerous allegations of misconduct.

Spectator Competition: Between the lines
For Competition 3407 you were invited to write about a historical event euphemistic-ally. This challenge was a little vague; Private Eye code was the inspiration but from the tone of the entries it could have been 1066 and All That. The standard was very high, with too many runners-up to name names, and the £25 vouchers go to the following. Life grew rather complex in 1789 when France experienced a regime malfunction. The financially embarrassed commoners, who kept popping their clogs due to nutrition deficiency, took against royals and aristocrats who did not rate highly on political awareness. Paying an unscheduled visit to the Bastille, the monarchy-resistant mob significantly devalued it as a property. Aristocrats decamped from Versailles like small, furry rodents making their way from a foundering vessel, while the royal family, not being the sharpest pencils in the box, were left without a steering mechanism on a waterway formed mostly of sewage. In the ensuing unrest around Paris, many of the upwardly mobile population were considerably downsized by the more republic-minded. Going against conventional wisdom, the royals left it too late to strategically retreat and were forced to cash in their chips with a trip to the rapid disposal unit that made them shorter by a head. Janine Beacham The court of Peter the Great was notable for how Badered everyone, including the Tsar, was, and for his retinue of vertically challenged persons, though Peter himself was something of a ceiling scraper. There was even an official court personage of restricted growth named Iakim Volkov who found himself subject to a spectacular nuptial splicing at the iron whim of his Tsar. All pocket-sized Muscovites were seconded to Saint Petersburg to witness this happy event. These miniatures, having grown up in modest circumstances and consequently unaccustomed to fine dining, became tired and emotional upon becoming squiffy on the abundantly available enlivening beverages. Thereupon finding that they had various artistic differences, these space-efficient individuals sought to resolve them through a frank exchange of views. Unless historians have been economical with the truth, Peter the Great reacted to the resultant fracas by splitting his sides, always relishing a zany antic. Adrian Fry The Early Retirement of William Wallace, 1305 As part of the retirement festivities, Mr Wallace, fashionably undressed, was urged to take an equine Uber to Smithfield, while the public offered loud tributes. Upon arrival, he was granted a performance review – at altitude – then carefully brought back down to receive his enhanced dismemberment package. In a gesture of administrative thoroughness, select personal assets were publicly decommissioned with fire. His abdominal storage was cleared in accordance with Crown compliance standards, contents displayed for transparency. Mr Wallace was subsequently divided into four travel-friendly portions and repurposed as inspirational installations in Newcastle, Berwick, Perth and Stirling. His head was preserved using traditional tar-based methods and promoted to a pointed post on London Bridge in line with the Crown's redeployment policy regarding retired officials. Although Hollywood would later assign him an exclamatory farewell, contemporary sources suggest a quieter, more contemplative tone in his exit statement. Ralph Goldswain Julius Caesar was a nice-ish man, but sometimes prone to doing the full Tarquin Superbus, and a bit too Julian Clary with local soothsayers. They told him to take a half-holiday somewhere like Capri, and pronto monto. 'You're a bit light of future plans,' they told him. 'You'd be better off a bit more procul hinc, and a bit less usque ad finem.' But Caesar was quietly MRGA, and even more Veritas Social – neglecting to imagine that the senators might well have raided their cutlery drawers for something that could take a quick route to the giblet aisle. They unfriended him, all 60 of them, with some searching internal investigations, ones that left him leaking badly next to Pompey's statue. They put the ruby into Rubicon, leaving Brutus, who gave three-way swivels a run for their silver denarii, to spend less time with his family. Bill Greenwell Paris, 1151. Henry Plantagenet, Duke of Normandy, visits the court of much-loved Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. It is their first meeting, but they soon become close friends. Eleanor is no stranger to the entente cordiale, having already forged rapprochements with Geoffrey of Anjou, Raymond of Poitiers and Marcabru the troubadour, becoming his Muse and the subject of his most celebrated Lays. Entering into top-level negotiations, Henry is curious to learn about the courtly customs of Eleanor's native Aquitaine. She is happy to oblige, introducing him to the traditional technique of gentle grape-pressing. Henry imagines vineyards, corks popping along the Gironde Estuary, surf crashing in the Bay of Biscay. He chivalrously offers to show Eleanor his Norman cider press, and to take her up the Seine Valley. That night, during their detailed strategic summit, she encourages him to extend his increasingly substantial realm across the Channel. She is thinking of England. David Silverman The Third Crusade was one of a series of cultural exchange schemes – the Islamic equivalent was the jihad – in which westerners and those from the Middle East lived in each other's countries for extended periods. Richard the Lionheart, a contact sports enthusiastic with an impressive record of wins when playing away from home, was a keen participant. His return trip was disrupted by hidden surcharges and he went dark until he retweeted a post from Blondel, a lounge singer passing through on a European tour; eventually Richard's exit visa had to be crowdfunded. A believer in hands-off government, he nevertheless intervened on behalf of the Midlands Levelling Up Czar, Robin Hood, on his return, and latterly pursued a redistributive agenda in France where he developed many gated communities. He was eventually skewered by pointed local opposition to a repossession, and retired hurt. His brother, John, proved to be a poor substitute.

Amanda Bynes starts Ozempic to lose weight, says she wants to ‘look better' in paparazzi pictures
Amanda Bynes has revealed she has started taking Ozempic, joining the growing number of celebrities turning to the diabetes drug for weight loss. The former child star shared the update via Instagram, saying she hopes the move will improve her appearance in paparazzi photographs. 'I'm 173 now so I hope to get down to like 130, which would be awesome so I look better in paparazzi pictures,' Bynes, 39, said in a video posted to her Instagram Story. Bynes added she was 'excited' to begin the weight loss journey. Once a beloved Nickelodeon star on 'All That' and 'The Amanda Show', Bynes stepped away from acting in 2012, citing body image struggles as a significant factor. Over the years, she has been candid about her challenges with mental health, eating disorders, and public scrutiny—particularly from the tabloid media. In past interviews, she opened up about how her role in the 2006 comedy 'She's the Man' triggered a deep emotional spiral. 'When the movie came out and I saw it, I went into a deep depression for four to six months because I didn't like how I looked when I was a boy,' she had said in a previous interview. 'She's The Man' is loosely based on William Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night'. The film follows teenager Viola Hastings (Amanda Bynes), who disguises herself as her twin brother, Sebastian, to attend his new boarding school, Illyria Prep, and join the boys' soccer team. Bynes admitted she later began misusing Adderall after reading about its off-label use for weight loss in a magazine, calling it 'the new skinny pill.' The actress has since undergone treatment and has taken steps to reclaim her self-image, including undergoing blepharoplasty surgery in 2023 to remove skin folds near her eyes. 'It was one of the best things I could have ever done for my self-confidence and it made me feel a lot better in my skin. I feel a lot better now about myself,' she said at the time Ozempic, though originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes, has gained traction in Hollywood as a rapid weight-loss solution. Bynes' openness adds to the ongoing conversation around body image, celebrity culture, and the pressure to conform to unrealistic standards—especially under the microscope of constant paparazzi attention.
