Everyday, TVpredictions chooses someone as their HD hottie for the day. The choice for June 18th is Amanda.
Today’s ‘HD Hottie’ is Amanda Bynes, who stars tonight in high-def in Hairspray at 9 p.m. on Cinemax West.
Of course, we all already knew she was a hottie – especially in high def!
Even in these tough economic times, networks order far more scripts than will ever become pilot episodes and many more pilots than will be picked up as series.
So we hear a lot about pilots that will never see the light of prime time. Here’s a look at some of them that won’t be getting made this year:
Amanda Bynes was one of five friends all “Canned” on the same day in an ABC comedy.
Notice Please excuse me from not updating in a while. I’m currently in a legal matter with my parents and I’m trying to get it all fixed.
Screen Gems has made a two-picture deal with Amanda Bynes.
The thesp will first co-star in the Will Gluck-directed comedy “Easy A,” and she and Screen Gems president Clint Culpepper will then craft a star vehicle for her second project.
Culpepper said that Bynes, who gained fame as star of Nickelodeon’s “The Amanda Show,” has been on his radar for some time.
“She’s one of the few who can make that graceful transition from kid to adult star because she has such strong comic chops,” Culpepper said.
Scripted by playwright Bert V. Royal, “Easy A” stars Emma Stone as a high school student who is victimized by a false rumor that she lost her virginity, until she exploits the rumor mill for her own benefit and becomes wildly popular. Bynes has signed on to play a puritanical high school queen bee. Zanne Devine and Gluck are producing.
The network upfronts were this week and sadly, Canned was not on ABC’s schedule. I was really hoping that they would change their mind or that another network would pick it up but it didn’t happen. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that Amanda will find a great new role soon!
