Check out one of the first official posters for Emma Stone’s upcoming flick, Easy A.

Easy A summary: When clean cut high schooler Olive Penderghast (Stone) lies about losing her virginity to her gay best friend, Brandon (Dan Byrd), she begins to see life paralleling the story of Hester Prynne in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The Scarlet Letter”.

However, rival Marianne (Amanda Bynes) starts a string of rumors in order to bring down her reputation and force her to leave the school. Olive then decides to use the rumors to her own advantage; affixing a red A to her clothing in reference to the embattled heroine of the novel.

Penn Badgley and Aly Michalka also star.

The flick hits theaters on Friday, September 17th.

Amanda Bynes, Drew Barrymore, Emma Watson and more are taking breaks from the biz! But why?

What the heck is happening in Hollywood these days? Some of the biggest names in the biz are taking a break (some extended, some permanent) from their thriving acting careers. Just who is officially sick of having the acting bug and what are their reasons for being quitters? Read on, BFFs!

Emma Watson

The 20-year-old Harry Potter starlet is planning on taking a three-year break to graduate from college; she’s currently a sophomore at Brown University in Providence, RI. “I want to forget about hair and makeup,” Emma told UK paper The Times. “Sometimes on a publicity tour I can’t remember what time it is, what country I’m in. Now it’s coming to an end I’m trying to hold on to it. So I have a book, and everyone I’ve met has a page. I want to remember them and not just be left with the media version of what happened to me.”

Alec Baldwin

The 30 Rock star has threatened to quit acting for good when his contract with NBC expires in 2012. “I don’t have any interest in acting anymore,” the 52-year-old Emmy winner said in the December issue of Men’s Journal. “Movies are a part of my past. It’s been 30 years. I’m not young, but I have time to do something else.”

Sandra Bullock

Sandy has definitely had a tumultuous year! She won an Oscar, secretly adopted son Louis Bardo Bullock and divorced husband Jesse James after learning about his multiple affairs. But now the single mom plans on taking time out to enjoy what she loves the most – her newborn son. “All I know is that I want to be able to enjoy being a mom. Doing all the things moms get to do, outside in the sun, in the world,” the 45-year-old actress told People magazine. “The career will have to wait for a bit. I don’t want to step into that world until I can find out what room I left my armor in. You need tough skin to be in this business. I don’t have tough skin right now and I don’t want it”, she said about her future plans.”

Amanda Bynes

Amanda announced via Twitter that she plans on retiring from acting – at the ripe old age of 24! “I know 24 is a young age to retire but you heard it here first I’ve #retired,” the actress posted June 19. Too bad – we loved What A Girl Wants!

Drew Barrymore

Drew has fallen in love with Justin Long and directed her first film, Whip It!, in recent years, and now she’s ready for a break and wants to recharge her batteries. “For three years straight, I’ve been burning the candle at both ends, and as of last December, I just didn’t have anything left,” the 35-year-old Going the Distance star says in the August issue of Elle. Now, Drew is done being “so aggressive about living life to the fullest and being plugged into everything” and has “ripped the plug out of the wall and put it on the floor for a while.”

“It’s Viva Las Vegas for Amanda Bynes,” reads the headline of a National Enquirer story, which, in all earnestness, goes on to claim that she’s “running away to join the circus!”

The tab reports that Bynes, who recently announced her retirement from acting, “is planning an animal-themed show in Las Vegas.”

Yes, you read that right.

According to a so-called “pal” quoted in the article, “Amanda loves animals… and she’s looking into doing a circus-type animal show in Vegas while her name is still hot.”

Really?

No.

A rep for Bynes called the report “hilarious,” and a source close to the former “All That” star tells Gossip Cop there isn’t a shred of truth to it.

Once again, the only clowns here are the ones at the Enquirer.

The 24-year-old actress, whose body of work includes “She’s the Man,” “What I Like About You” and “What a Girl Wants,” has retired, according to her Twitter account.

In a series of posts between 2:58 a.m. and 3:25 a.m. on Saturday, Bynes said “I don’t love acting anymore so I stopped doing it” … and “i know 24 is a young age to retire but you heard it here first I’ve #retired.”

Her final contribution to cinema, something called “Easy A,” is listed as being in post-production in IMDb.com.

A screen shot of her messages is below:

I read her tweets yesteard and I can’t believe in it! She has been an amazing actress! My favourite actress! She’ll be missed…

Hello everybody!!!!
I’m the new co-web of this site! We are 3 now so you can expect a lot of new updates!
My name is Vera, I live in Portugal and I LOVE Amanda Bynes and this site. I have some fansites, but the only one I have in english is about Mia Rose.. Do you know her? – http://tobemia.com.

Let’s start to work. I will try to find some pics to update the gallery!!

We are so sorry for not updating but we are back !!!

Meanwhile, here I bring you a recent interview were Amanda talked about her character on Easy A. Thanks ComingSoon.net !

The site says that day she wore ‘a high waisted black skirt, a white buttoned up blouse, heels and a cross necklace’. I really expect to see a picture, don’t you?

Click read more to check out the interview.

Q: Tell us about your character.
Amanda Bynes: Marianne is sort of an uptight, religious girl who has very strong beliefs about virginity and basically, her relationship with Olive is sort of strained because they just don’t get along from the get-go.

Q: They were never friends at all?
Bynes: No. So my character has to get over the fact that she finds out that Olive has had sex. Obviously, my character believes in abstinence until marriage so it’s a funny relationship they have. They become friends for a few days, like basically, a day and then I plant some information and I hate her again. So, it’s really fun for me because I haven’t actually gotten to play the ‘mean girl.’ It’s done in a way where you love to hate her because you can’t tell that she’s evil because she seems so put together and sweet and charming but it’s actually that she wants to rule the school. So, it’s a really funny role. It’s a good one.

Q: Seeing that she is so religious and has these conservative values and beliefs, it’s strange that…
Bynes: (finishing)… that she’s so judgmental of others. Well there you go.

Q: Hypocrisy.
Bynes: Exactly. It’s really fun for me to play. I’m having a great time so far.

Q: Is Marianne the role you originally went out for?
Bynes: I never tried out, so they gave me this role.

Q: Do you identify with anything about the character?
Bynes: Not really. I’m not judgmental. I live and let live. I don’t judge others and I don’t want others to judge me so I figure it’s good karma not to judge others. Actually, I don’t really relate to her at all but I’ve met girls who are evil and try to cut you down so I can draw from experience for sure. But what’s funny is she is a virgin and yet she wears these sort of vampy clothes that are trying to be conservative but are still sort of pushing the envelope. I do know girls that are so virginal yet dress like… big tramps [we laugh]. It’s been really fun so far. The cast is amazing. Emma Stone is hilarious and Aly Michalka is so funny and Penn Badgley is doing an amazing job and Cam Gigandet is playing my boyfriend and he has a funny role too. It’s been a great experience. Will Gluck, the director, is so funny and I love the way that he gives notes because he’s always trying to just make it funnier or better. He’s extremely fun to work with. Everybody loves him. The actors love him. He’s definitely an actor’s director.

Q: He takes your input when you have ideas?
Bynes: Yeah, but he definitely just wants the movie to be amazing. He wants everybody to be great so it’s really fun to work with him. I’ve been having a ball. I love working with him.

Q: What is your character’s relationship like with her boyfriend? Is he supportive of you not wanting to have sex?
Bynes: Yeah. He’s actually very dumb in the movie. He really just goes along with it and I think I push him. I want him to be a minister. It’s like my dream. Whatever I want him to do, he’ll do. He sort of abides by my rules which is nice.

Q: Did you have a “normal” high school experience or were you home-schooled?
Bynes: I went to high school and I also home-schooled. I was in and out because I was doing shows so I would do school on set but, because I’m very social and I liked being around my friends, I would make both work.

Q: Did you have a “mean girl” experience in high school?
Bynes: Yeah. I did. There were some girls who were jealous and mean. But, I was really shy when I was in high school because I was getting so much attention [working] that when I was in school, I really didn’t want it because I wanted to fit in and have friends. I didn’t want people to think I thought I was that great so I sort of downplay it. But, then I realized you have to be true to yourself and your friends will like you no matter what and it’s cool.

Q: So what are we seeing today?
Bynes: We’re shooting a scene right now where I’m talking to Rhiannon who was Olive’s ex-best friend and, right now I’ve persuaded her to come to my side. That’s Aly’s character. So, I’m telling her “Olive didn’t come to school today and I’m really glad you’re on our side.” I don’t want to give away the whole movie.

Q: Can you tell us the rumor you started about Emma’s character Olive or no?
Bynes: I don’t want to say too much but I basically just say mean things about her and try to turn people against her. I overhear something and it spreads around school and then she becomes real popular and I don’t like that and I despise her and think she’s a total whore. It’s really funny but I don’t want to give away too much.

Q: Are you all having fun on the set bonding? It looks like you are having fun working together?
Bynes: Yeah, we’re having a great time. It’s a fun, young cast and I got to work with Lisa Kudrow who I’m a huge fan of and it’s great, Patricia Clarkson, Thomas Hayden Church, Stanley Tucci. It’s amazing. We have such a great script and Screen Gems is amazing so I’m really happy. So far, it’s been extremely fun. We’ve been bonding, hanging out and having a really good time.

Q: So how did you get the script or hear about the project?
Bynes: It’s a long story but basically, I heard about this movie and I asked my agent and so I read it and I really liked it, responded to it so it kind of just worked out and they offered me the part.

Q: What did you like about the script?
Bynes: It was really real and edgy and it’s something that I would want to see. When I read a script, if it makes me laugh, comes off the page, I can only imagine once actors bring it to life. It just felt hip and fun and a great movie to be a part of.

Q: What did you like about the part of Marianne?
Bynes: What I liked about the part was it’s something I’ve never done before. I’ve always played the humble girl in school, sort of plain so it was fun to play that girl who has a bad reputation. It’s not that she’s trampy but she’s extremely uptight and controlled.

Q: Penny Pingleton’s (Penny, her character in “Hairspray”) mom would have loved this girl.
Bynes: Exactly. Precisely!

Q: What has made her so uptight and conservative?
Bynes: Who knows. I think maybe it’s repressed feelings or… who knows? I think a lot of girls get this idea in their head to be perfect for their parents or whatever. I think it’s a type “A” personality.
