Amanda Bynes announced over the weekend that she was retiring from the acting industry at 24 years-old. Her reasoning was she was not having fun anymore and she doesn’t do things she doesn’t enjoy. But according to The Daily Beast…it might be more of a ‘the industry doesn’t want her anymore’ thing more than ‘she doesn’t want to act anymore’ thing.

Amanda has struggled to make the cross0ver from Nickelodeon child star to adult actor. Despite having a few decent roles in some mediocre movies… What A Girl Wants, Hairspray….world on the street is that her diva like behavior has caused Hollywood to all but shun her for any adult role. No one has yet to utter the words “meltdown” or “drug addiction” but there has got to be something behind her erratic behavior.

Though sources say her CAA agents had a please-get-help talk with her this year, Bynes has so far resisted. And her parents, whom she has supported for years, have not been able to get the actress back on track. Her friends are concerned about her behavior.

Meanwhile, rumors began to surface that Bynes could be “difficult.” In 2007, she was invited to the Turks and Caicos Film Festival, where she was being honored with a rising star award. And things reportedly didn’t go well.

Shortly after the festival was done, a nasty item appeared on the New York Post’s Page Six alleging that for the event, Bynes demanded two first-class plane tickets, two double hotel suites, and then “failed” to show up at any of the scheduled events she’d committed to. “I literally didn’t see her for days after she arrived at the hotel,” an “organizer” told the gossip column. “Everyone was wondering where she was. She was off jet-skiing, treating it like a vacation.”

Lindsay Lohan admits that her substance abuse nearly killed her. And after three trips to rehab for booze, coke and hallucinogenic drug abuse and one arrest for posession of cocaine, she still claims that she is sober.

Lilo told The Sun that she hit rock bottom when her dad starting to blabbing her bizness to the press.

“I tried to mask my problems with alcohol, cocaine and mind-altering substances,” Lohan said. “Now I’m in a place where I don’t need to use anything and I can feel emotions because I choose to. I never want to be close to losing everything I worked for and aspired to have my whole life.”

She says she’s got it together now..although she keeps being photographed looking like this…and she’s not getting any work…so….

The world is a crazy place. Would you ever think that a old queen from England would end up mentoring a hardcore, white rapper from Detroit? Stranger things have happened. Like some retarded judge not letting Elton John adopt a child, but I digress.

Elton John says he has been helping American rapper Eminen fight drug problems for more than a year. John says Eminem is succeeding in his well-publicized battle against substance abuse.

John told BBC Radio Saturday that as a recovered drug abuser he is happy to help people if they want the assistance but drugs make people so cocky and arrogant that they often reject help.

I have a feeling that Em probably didn’t want this information made public, but you know how old queens love to gossip.

At least that’s what her friends say. At the same time that Lindsay Lohan is slamming her father for spreading vicious lies that she is a drug addict …people close to her are reporting that she is a lost cause.

“The situation with Lindsay is absolutely tragic, uncontrollable — and it’s only getting worse,” a source told the National Enquirer. “She’s doped up to her eyeballs day in, day out and nobody can talk any sense into her. She’s living in her own crazy world and she won’t listen to anyone.”

The friends added that they fear the worst for her and unfortunately, she’s not taking her situation very seriously. “Sadly, Linds thinks it’s all a game but at this rate it’s going to cost her life. The way she’s behaving, she’ll wind up dead within a year,” the friend added.

“From the moment she wakes up each day, she abuses her body until the time she falls asleep. She chugs vodka, energy drinks, chain smokes and guzzles pills constantly.”

The new 90210 resident wild child Shanae Grimes maybe about to burn out before she even gets started. Rumors have been circulating for months that Sha-nay-nay is a major party girl, is often late to work and causes major drama on-set.

Sources say that even though she admits to nothing more than a cigarette habit, even her parents are worried and the folks at 90210 are starting to think she is more trouble than she is worth.

The 90210 wild child was “totally wired — practically vibrating” when she hosted The Gemini Awards with Jason Priestley in her hometown of Toronto on Nov. 28, says an insider. “It’s impossible to be that high-energy without some help.”

Another 19 year-old Hollywood idiot. This is exactly why they should still hire 30  year-old’s to play teenagers.
