Nikki Blonsky does something you and I don't do. She talks to Amanda Bynes almost everyday. She also spoke to Life & Style and says that Amanda is the same person she met while doing Hairspray and that Amanda has not had a breakdown, but rather a breakthrough and that she is not concerned with Amanda's behavior at all. I appreciate Nikki being a great friend and all and Nikki has proven her loyalty to other people before, but if she is the same person and nothing is wrong with her, then why are her parents freaked out? So, when they were filming Hairspray, Amanda would just randomly take off all her clothes and offer up her lady parts to be murdered? Multiple cheek piercings? Chain smoking pot? She really covered it well back then if this is the case. Hopefully Nikki is really doing something about her friend and trying to help.
I think that amanda just hid the crazy really well for a very long time. She always seemed off the wall, but now she has no other outle(like holding a job) to keep it sane for.
ReplyDeleteWasn't Nikki recently working at a shoe store after her ABC Family show got canned? I get the feeling she's just excited to be relevant again and doesn't want to kill her link to that by badmouthing Amanda.
ReplyDeleteExactly!!!
Delete@ cathy - I think you got it.
ReplyDeleteNiki knows normal. Her family got into a brawl in an airport over seats. Dad was jailed, mom and her hit folks with their purse.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that was Amanda Bynes. OMG she was so cute in Hairspray, with her pigtails and lollipops.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe that's the same chick!
I think Cathy may have hit in the reason why Nikki is covering.
ReplyDeleteAll she did is change her style. I'm sure she was a chain smoking pot head before and that hasn't changed. She just never had Photogs following her every time she left her house.
ReplyDeleteAnd face it Enty, you've written about her outrageous behavior before in Blind Items so this is nothing out of the ordinary.
Take away her piercings and hair and she's still the same ol' Amanda.

ReplyDeleteVAGINA is not a dirty word. Lady parts is immature.
ReplyDeleteAs odd as it sounds...if Nikki is really close friends with Amanda, what she's saying publicly is likely to retain Amanda's trust. I doubt she believes what she's saying herself, but to retain her trust and stay on the inside gives her better leverage to help when she can.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping, anyways.
Why are piercings and smoking pot some sort of sign of a breakdown? God, if that's the case, I've had like a billion breakdowns in my life.
ReplyDeleteIt's this pervasive culture of social media that's blowing this up into such a huge issue. Bynes is just a young woman trying to carve out some space for herself. Okay, maybe it's not the healthiest way to do things, but why can't people just back off?
By stigmatizing her and repeating this fiction that she's broken, we're hardly doing the girl any favours.
Where's the empathy? We were all young and foolish once, weren't we?
Do you trust someone who says "not a breakdown, but a breakthrough"? I think not.
ReplyDeleteI'm very active on Twitter (@robert3242) and among other things (I tweet mostly political stuff and breaking news) I curate a Twitter list of celebrities. This is nearly all movie/TV people, very little (if any) so-called "reality show" trash. I've had Bynes on that list for many months, and I keep an eye on it, just as I do my other lists. You read/hear a lot about Bynes' tweets, and some of them are... let's say 'unusual' to say the least. What's worse, though, is all the people whom she retweets, who seem to think she's just great!--that she's better than simply okay, actually someone to idolize. Of course, according to her, she's just peachy. She recently reminded one and all that she's a "retired multimillionaire" which of course means nothing's wrong because we all know rich people never lose their marbles and crack up. The whole thing's sad.
ReplyDeleteRobert, I think the same thing when I read her tweets! People tell her thst she is their inspiration, and they want to be like her. Random dudes tweet her, saying they want to bang her. It is only fueling the fire.
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky enough to have lots of mental illness and drug abuse in my family. This girl is not trying to find herself. She is mentally ill, and quite stoned. This behavior is not normal.
Nikki Blonsky in an attention seeking out-of-work has been in the industry. She has no career. Anything she says about any of her previous costars is to get attention for herself.
ReplyDeleteBut wasn't there a lot of really bad blind items from back when she was working on what I like about you? Like parading naked in front of cast and crew? Loud sex with randoms to piss of Jennie Garth when her kids were visiting? Loads of pot? I think maybe Amanda has been awful for years ad this isn't a new breakdown.
ReplyDeleteWho's she hurting? Leave the goofy chick alone. When she kills somebody, then write about her.

ReplyDeletewhat miranda said
ReplyDeleteThe piercings aren't the problem for me, nor is the pot. Hell, pot probably calms her down. Piercings are just, eh, whatever. The increasing isolation, and her paranoia, the persecution thing she's got going on..that's troubling.
ReplyDeleteI think it's good that there is someone who is speaking up for Amanda Bynes. Hopefully she'll remain close enough with Amanda & the loyalty she's displayed will help Amanda to trust her. We never know (and shouldn't know) what she & Amanda discuss privately. Maybe this young lady can help Amanda through whatever she's going through.
ReplyDeleteEither nikkis crazy filter is malfunctioning, or she has different standard of notmal.
