Despite her struggles, Amanda has recently been determined to get her manicurist license.

In 2022, she announced that she was headed to cosmetology school.

Unfortunately, Amanda revealed that she did not pass her manicurist license exam.
In a now-deleted update posted to her Instagram last year, she said, "Since I haven't passed the board exam yet to get my manicurist license I started back at school to study manicurist theory and to practice doing acrylics before I take the test again so I'll be good to go when I get a job at a nail salon."
Her career as an actress began at the age of seven, where she performed both on-stage and on-screen.
A member of the sketch comedy series All That, Amanda later earned her own spinoff: The Amanda Show.

The following year, she graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising.
Amanda Bynes is currently engaged to Paul Michael, a man she met at Alcoholics Anonymous.

Taylor Swift's new music video so secretive that 'even crew couldn't hear song'
Pop icon Taylor Swift could be ready to release new music but is said to have kept it so under wraps that even crew weren't able to listen to it while filming the video Taylor Swift is set to release new music for her adoring fans, but it's so under wraps the star is said to have filmed a music video in secret. The private filming was reportedly so secretive that even the crew weren't able to hear the full track. The music will mark the 35-year-old star's first new music since dropping The Tortured Poets Department over a year ago. And now it's said the project was completed on the West Coast. A source claimed: "Taylor was in Los Angeles on Thursday filming a new music video." They added the secrecy of the whole thing was evident. Speaking to the Sun, they added: "It was so top secret that those working on set were not even allowed to hear the song, only the beat. "Even though she's been taking time off from touring and working a lot to spend time with Travis, there are still projects she's working on, which will no doubt please fans." And the speculation went down well with fans online going wild. Flocking to social media to let their feelings be heard, one Twitter /X user excitedly questioned: "OMGGG WE ARE GETTING THAT ALBUM BY AUGUST???????" Another added: "Excited for this! The secrecy around the beat-only shoot in LA has me hyped-Taylor's genius at building anticipation never fails!" And a third simply said the "queen of pop is back". Earlier this month, Taylor sparked engagement rumours too after fans spotted her man's phone's lock screen. Travis Kelce's device left Swifties convinced that she's engaged to the NFL star. It comes after he shared huge selection of photos on his Instagram account. One in particular catching the eye of excited fans seemingly marked a massive milestone in their relationship so far. In the image, Taylor looks to be showing off her ring finger. It left fans speculating that the loved-up couple are engaged, though neither has made any official confirmation. The image showed the duo cosying up side by side, and the lock screen image shows Taylor Swift flaunting her ring finger. Taking to social media, one user commented on the post: "Travis's lockscreen - is she pointing at her hand like she is… engaged?" Another added: "Is it an engagement photo," while other excited fans exclaimed that they "zoomed in to the lock screen" to try and see for sure. People are waiting in anticipation for the pair to declare an engagement with one source telling the Mail Online earlier this year that "everyone is just waiting for Travis to ask her (Taylor Swift's) parents for her hand in marriage, her parents will say yes." They have been together since 2023. The couple have been reasonably happy to talk about their romance in the years that followed. Taylor has also declared her love to Travis while on stage and collecting awards.

Explaining what the man wants the braids for, Lateisha revealed: "He smells the braids and does his business." The TikToker revealed that she knows some people are attracted to the smell of unwashed hair, although she added that this is not a scent that pleases herself. "Because my braids are attached to my head, and they are in for so long, they have the unwashed hair smell", she said. Lateisha added that people always ask her whether she is concerned about pieces of her real hair getting mixed in with the braids she sends to the stranger. However, she said that this doesn't bother her as "he's not a serial killer, and he's not going to plant me at a crime scene." In a second video, Lateisha showed herself packing up the hair, and writing a "cute" card to send to the man.
