She's back?

Amanda Bynes may have changed her mind about ending her Hollywood career.

On Friday the 24-year-old actress Tweeted "I've unretired." She then plugged an ad for her next flick Easy A, due in theaters September 17.

It's an about-face for Bynes, who announced just a month ago her plans to retire from acting immediately.

"Being an actress isn't as fun as it may seem," she wrote. "If I don't love something anymore, I stop doing it. I don't love acting anymore, so I've stopped doing it."

"I know 24 is a young age to retire but you heard it here first I've #retired," she added.

The star -- who first became famous on Nickelodeon's All That and The Amanda Show -- lent some additional insight behind her supposed decision: "I've never written the movies and tv shows I've been a part of. I've only acted like the characters the producers or directors wanted me to play."

    Like she had a choice to quit. She has worked in years, Hollywood has fired her.

    Well, make up your mind, Amanda! Don't be such an attention w****, will you?

    I love her but this is the kind of action that will earn you hipocrite as a nickname

    Amanda...you are at the bottom of the actress heap. No one wants to hire you anymore. Bad karma for cheating with Channing Tatum when he made a film with you. Must feel stupid when he went back to his girlfriend and then married her. Amanda, you are no longer relevant. Also, stop chasing Drake...stay in your lane.

    What she meant to say is, "OMG I just realized what am I gonna do for money? I can't retire now! Oops, nvrmind, hee hee!" What a dumb little girl...She should've just taken a break and kept her mouth shut.

    She is the female version of Brett Favre..."I'm retired. Nope, comin' back. I'm retired. Nope, comin' back." You get the idea. Cute girl and a pretty good actress, haven't really seen enough of her films to know otherwise, but until you are 100% sure maybe you should just not say anything. Don't know how many directors are going to want to work with somebody who claims "Being an actress isn't as fun as it may seem."

    I like Amanda, but I wish she'd make a decision and stick with it. If she wants to retire, she should retire. If she wants to continue acting, she should do just that. Enough drama!

    I wasn't sad to see her go. I was happy at the thought of not having to see her anymore or hear about her dating episodes with unfamous ppl. Now I'm annoyed that she is taking back her retiring statement. She obviously needs attention!!!!!

    I'm glad she didn't retire. She's adorable. I watched "What a girl wants" last night.

  • July 26, 2010 - 10:48am Mr. Betterthanyou

    I'd like to see her tits, then she can retire for good.

  • July 26, 2010 - 9:46am anon

    Publicity stunt. Where would she ever make that kind of money otherwise? She knows she won't and once accustomed to the lifestyle, it's hard to give up.

  • July 26, 2010 - 8:37am Johnny

    Is she as ugly as she is stupid?

  • July 26, 2010 - 5:21am vicky

    "Unretiring" after a month? I knew this was a publicity stunt. I just expected her to keep it up a little longer, so it wouldn't look so fake and immature.
