Amanda Bynes Cancels Podcast To Pursue Manicurist Career

Amanda Bynes is hanging up her podcasting career once again. Despite being convinced to try again after just one episode of her podcast aired, the former child star announced she has another calling.

As we recently reported, Bynes, 37, announced an update on her Amanda Bynes & Paul Sieminski: The Podcast show last weekend. Bynes said on Instagram that even though the podcast was doing "really well" and the response "has been great," she wanted to "take a pause on it for now." Her reasoning for the show’s hiatus is that she and her Sieminski “are not able to get the type of guests that I’d like on the show like, say, Jack Harlow or Drake or Post Malone.”

Leaving it up in the air for "those types of guests on the show," the All That alum thanked fans for their support of the project. Bynes and her co-host/best friend/biochemist/PhD student Paul Sieminski interviewed a Los Angeles tattoo artist named Dahlia Moth for their first and only 26-minute debut episode, which premiered earlier this month. Moth met Bynes at a Spirit Halloween store a few years prior. During the first episode, however, Bynes’ energy was pretty lackluster as she read and stuck to the questions on her phone. Per the synopsis, the podcast was going to focus on “the hosts’ loves: fashion, artists, actors, actresses, music and everything else!”

Now, Bynes said that despite the encouragement she received to continue with her podcast, she would rather have a consistent job. She wrote on TikTok before the holiday weekend: "I would rather get my manicurist license and have a consistent job. I'm going to follow that path instead. Thank you for following my journey!" Following her announcement, Bynes shared the process of her dying her hair from platinum blonde to bluish black. After rocking the dark-haired 'do for a day, she bleached her hair back to blonde, documenting it all on her Instagram Stories.
