Hollywood has seen plenty of child stars come and go, their talents spent on any number of teen sitcoms and romantic comedies before life -- and in many cases tragedy -- pulled them in a different direction. But few if any were as remarkable in their genuine comedic talent as Amanda Bynes, the former Nickelodeon star who disappeared from Hollywood just as she was crossing into a career as a mainstream film actor.

Bynes cut her teeth as a stand-up comic at a very young age before joining the Nick family, frequently working with Dan Schneider, the infamous writer, creator, and mega-producer responsible for a massive portion of the network's success -- he's also the subject of all of Nickelodeon's most harrowing allegations of misconduct and abuse. After working on several projects with Schneider, Bynes appeared in a few movies outside his direct sphere of influence before taking a step back from the entertainment industry.

Former Nickelodeon child star Amanda Bynes revealed on her Instagram that she has signed up to use OnlyFans to connect with fans and supporters.

“I’m on OnlyFans now!” Bynes posted on Tuesday on her Instagram Stories. “I’m doing OnlyFans to chat with my fans through Dm’s, I won’t be posting any sleazy content.” The app offers subscriber-only content – much of which is adult – and has attracted celebrities such as Denise Richards, Cardi B, Kate Nash and Lily Allen.

Bynes has also struggled with substance abuse. On March 20, 2023, she was placed in a 72-hour psychiatric hold after she flagged a bystander for help, and she contacted the police with the intention of self-harm. Mental health professionals determined that Bynes required inpatient treatment. She was later released on June 30 with plans for follow-up treatment.

Bynes has set a price for her subscribers at $50 a month to have access to her content,...

Exes Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli have reunited unexpectedly.

Garth recently told E! News how things weren’t ideal for a long time between her and Facinelli, her ex-husband of 12 years. However, after Garth lost her house to the Los Angeles wildfires, the Twilight actor let her and her family shelter at his home. But it was from filming an episode of her I Choose Me podcast in November, which Facinelli was a guest on, that helped them patch up their relationship.

“It really cleared the air for us in a lot of ways,” Garth said before adding how it helped “to reconnect as just people, instead of like a divorced couple, the mom and the dad and not agreeing on stuff.”

Garth admits, “For so many years, it wasn’t as fun as it could have been,” and that they “made it seem like it was great and it was all rainbows and ponies.

Dan Schneider, the prolific writer/producer of seminal Nickelodeon shows such as All That, Kenan and Kel, Drake and Josh, and iCarly, has been mired in controversy since 2018. Nickelodeon parted ways with the successful creator after 25 years when an investigation revealed that Schneider had acted inappropriately towards the actors and crew on his shows. The 2024 documentary, Quiet on Set: The Darkside of Children's TV, detailed the allegations, finding that Schneider was verbally abusive towards his cast and writers, often wrote sexually suggestive scenes that fetishized female actresses, and created a hostile working environment.

Although Schneider is best known for his writing, he began his Hollywood career as an actor. Schneider appeared in several 1980s comedies, including Hot Resort, Making the Grade, the cult classic Better Off Dead, and the underrated Christopher Guest film The Big Picture, starring Kevin Bacon. His most prominent acting role, however, was on the classic sitcom Head of the Class,...

Nostalgia TV is here to stay, and we might be having another favorite comfort show from the past return with a revival. What I Like About You, the sitcom that ran on The WB for four seasons from 2000 to 2006, could potentially make it back to our screens as two of its stars recently revealed they are down for a reboot. The show, set in New York City, centered around the lives of two sisters made up of the spirited Holly (Amanda Bynes) and the mature, responsible older sibling Val, played by Jennie Garth. The show also starred Leslie Grossman as Laura, a role that complimented Garth's Val, and almost 20 years after the show ended, both stars are open to reprising their roles.

Leslie Grossman is engaged!

Bethany Joy Lenz isn’t only opening up about her experience in the Big House Family cult. In her new book, “Dinner for Vampires,” the actor details about her time as Haley James (later Scott) on “One Tree Hill.”

Lenz writes that she initially passed on the WB series since she was focused on doing film and didn’t want to be “stuck on a teen soap.” Eventually, after the actor cast as Haley didn’t work out for the pilot, she was called again; the executive knew her since he’d tried to get her to read for “What I Like About You.”

“The show was marketed toward tween girls, and I was concerned that the big-sister role I was testing for — which eventually went to the lovely Jennie Garth — was a woman living with her boyfriend,” Lenz writes about the Amanda Bynes-led show. “I didn’t want...

Bethany Joy Lenz reflects on the time she landed One Tree Hill and the warning she received the night before her screen test.

In her new memoir, Dinner for Vampires, Lenz recalls initially passing on the opportunity to star in the drama. At the same time, she passed on starring in What I Like About You, opposite Amanda Bynes, as she didn’t want to “normalize living in sin” by playing a character who lives with her boyfriend. The role eventually went to Jennie Garth in the WB sitcom.

Lenz, who was raised as an evangelical Christian, then got a call from her manager relaying a message from an executive the night before she was going to screen test for One Tree Hill.

“I have a direct quote that I’ve been asked to relay to you, to make sure you know exactly what you’re getting into before you sign this contract,...

Known for her quirky yet genuine songwriting, Theresa Rex consistently resonates with her audience through her unique blend of playful and sincere lyrics. ‘Ugly Cry’ continues this trend, delivering her messages with infectious scandipop beats that fans have come to adore.

“I think most of us know that feeling of getting drunk and reaching that point of no return, where the lid just flips and the valves open, and you become an over-sharing, over-emotional, ugly-crying fool, sitting there on the bar bathroom floor asking your friends to hold your hair, do we not? Well, if you do, this might be the messy-girl anthem for you. Sometimes all you need to do is cry until the whole damn place is stuck under water,” Theresa Rex tells.

The track is driven by a simple yet engaging acoustic guitar arrangement, combined with a clever chord progression that makes ‘Ugly Cry’ both impactful and irresistibly catchy.

Anyone watching last night’s Democratic National Convention surely noticed a new twist: a blue-suited DJ playing songs to accompany each roll call. And with songs ranging from “Born in the U.S.A.,” “Take Me Home, Country Roads” and “Sweet Home Alabama” to “Girl on Fire,” “Despacito,” and “Good Luck, Babe!”

DJ Cassidy, who manned the turntables, isn’t a newcomer to spinning at political events: He’s also DJ’d at Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s wedding and at White House birthday parties for Barack and Michelle Obama. His...

As DNC Secretary Jason Rae called on each delegation from the stage, DJ Cassidy cued up a song for each state — except in the case of Georgia, when Atlanta native Lil Jon...

Many of the cast members in Beverly Hills, 90210 season 1 were significantly older than their characters, which was a source of criticism when the show first aired. By the time the show concluded that characters had become adults, which made the age difference between cast and character less noticeable. While it's difficult to look past when revisiting the show in the 2020s, the practice of getting adults to play teenagers was the norm when 90210 debuted in the 1990s.

While Beverly Hills, 90210 is one of the most iconic teen sitcoms ever to grace the small screen, a common criticism of the show concerned how old the cast of 90210 was. Set in West Beverly High, a fictional high school in an affluent area of Los Angeles, California, all the main characters were high school students, which means they should have been about 16 when the show began. Yet many actors...

Before Nickelodeon showrunner Dan Schneider parted ways with the slime-covered network in 2018, Schneider served as the face of the network. He spearheaded several successful tween shows like The Amanda Show, starring Amanda Bynes, Drake & Josh, Zoey 101 (starring Jamie Lynn Spears), iCarly, and Victorious. Despite the incredible success of the tween-angst comedies, a new docuseries has revealed the stark reality behind the scenes within Schneider-affiliated shows.

Those of us who grew up watching Nickelodeon’s 90s slate of shows are about to be shocked to know how bad things actually were behind the scenes. When the kids’ network added more than cartoons and children’s entertainers/game shows to their schedule, it seemed like the channel was really reaching its audience by having shows for kids and featuring kids. It would make the network much hipper, and the man behind it all was Dan Schneider. Formerly a teen actor on the 80s sitcom Head of the Class, Schneider struck it big when he produced the sketch show, All That, which was in the vein of Saturday Night Live but with younger comedian performers.

“Working for Dan was like being in an abusive relationship,” a former employee who is not named claims in the trailer. “There was a toxic environment. It made me trust people less,” another Nickelodeon alum alleged.

The ID series cites Schneider’s upbeat kids TV output for shaping the popular genre for a generation. But Quiet on Set, directed by Mary Robertson and Emma Schwartz, also alleges behind the scenes that underage stars and crew were treated inappropriately.

In terms of movies leaving HBO Max, there are quite a lot. “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It” turns into a ghost on Jan. 20, while Jon M. Chu’s delightful musical “In the Heights” leaves on Jan. 27.

Noteworthy films leaving HBO Max on Jan. 31 include the first three “John Wick” movies, the first three “Jurassic Park” films, the first two installments in the “Fantastic Beasts” franchise,...

Actress Amanda Bynes is training to become a nail technician almost three years after she graduated from fashion school.

The 36-year-old star — who started her career as a child actress on Nickelodeon before quitting the industry over personal issues more than a decade ago — graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in 2019 but is now studying at cosmetology college in the hope of becoming a manicurist, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

She wrote on Instagram: “In cosmetology college, to become a manicurist!”

The ‘She’s the Man’ star — who was under a conservatorship arrangement governed by her parents for almost a decade until 2022 after suffering drug and mental health problems — previously admitted that even though she has no desire to return to acting as such, it would be “fun” to reprise her role as Holly Tyler on the sitcom ‘What I Like About You’, which she starred on alongside Jennie Garth...

While attending the 2022 iHeartRadio Music Festival over the weekend, actress Jennie Garth showed off her amazing figure in a black pantsuit complete with floral lace and a plunging bustline.

Garth’s outfit featured sheer fabric that drew attention to her legs as she smiled from ear to ear, posing for photos at the Las Vegas-based event.

The Beverly Hills: 90210 alum appeared confident on the red carpet, accessorizing her elegant outfit with pair of black pumps and decorative earrings.

She opted for a dark smokey eye paired with nude lipstick to complete the look.

Garth also wore her signature blonde hair in messy beach waves at the iHeartRadio Music Festival, with a braid accentuating her deep side part.

The two-day music festival, held at the T-Mobile arena, is set to be a star-studded event with Megan thee Stallion,...

When she skillfully maneuvers her way into King’s inner circle and ultimately an intimate gathering on his private island, she is ready for a journey of a lifetime.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not watched “The Dropout” on Hulu.

When crafting the soundtrack for Hulu’s “The Dropout,” music supervisor Maggie Phillips and show creator Elizabeth Meriwether sought out, as Phillips puts it, “songs that scream 2010.”

Set between 2003 and 2018, “The Dropout” chronicles the rise and fall of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes (Amanda Seyfried), as she goes from founding a medical technology company worth 9 billion to being indicted for fraud. Based on the ABC News podcast of the same name, the limited series has been critically lauded for its writing, acting and music, which incorporates everything from Katy Perry’s “Firework” to Lil Wayne’s “How to Love.”

Phillips, who supervised the show with coordinators Kristen Higuera and Andrew Brady, was drawn to it because she had never worked on a project with music that came out during her adult years.

“[It’s] a time period that I knew very well,...

Even Simon Rex’s personal “Red Rocket” is a work of art.

Since the film premiered at Cannes, there’s been much ado about the actor’s manhood as seen on the screen — including at the Film Independent Spirit Awards, where Rex won Best Male Lead.

“I finally had to let it be known,” Rex told People about the prosthetic.

Rex plays former porn star-turned-con man Mikey Saber in Sean Baker’s “Red Rocket.” The pandemic-shot film features a slew of nude scenes for Rex, who got his start as a model for Calvin Klein, Levi’s, and Versace before appearing in the “Scary Movie” franchise and “What I Like About You.”

While at the 33rd Producers Guild of America Awards, Rex explained that he “wasn’t allowed” to take home his favorite phallic prop.

“I don’t think that was an option, but it will be in a museum one day,...
