Amanda Bynes Has Gained Weight
Nov 18th, 2007 by Starving Socialite
Not much to say other than the title. Here is the formerly-skinny Amanda Bynes tonight at the American Music Awards. Now – I’m not saying she’s fat, I’m just saying she has gained weight.
Sure, Beyonce looked like a big brown cow with stretch marks on her boobs but we sorta expected that.
For poor Amanda, what’s sorta sad is her choice of dress makes things worse – it makes her belly show through really well, thus enhancing her apparent plumpness.
Her legs don’t look too bad, with the possible exception of her upper thighs – which appear to be generously bulging through the sheer dress. Her arms are OK. Her face has always looked full, but it’s puffier for sure. But it’s really her belly and middle where she looks the thickest.
Damn, girl, get a waist! Buy it if you have to. Or at least don’t eat a whole platter of sizzlin’ steak fajitas before your AMA red carpet appearance. Better yet – learn the little shaping trick that most girls who’ve ever done a red carpet know: cross your legs for the pictures.
Super-pretty eyes, though. Click for the high-res pix.

Aww she looks cute! I agree the dress was not the best choice but her body is OK. It’s not skinny like she used to be but she was young!!
A little bit thicker but nothing to worry about — yet!
She looks bloated and that dress doesn’t help one bit. Amanda should go on the coffee-and-cigarettes diet.
Looks like I agree with Ansa again. Amanda looks quite pudgy and bloated and if she wants work in this town she better slim down.
oh my gosh this is actuually hilarious! and a little sad…have you LOOOOKED at these pictures? Like honestly LOOKED at them? HOW IN GODS NAME DO THINK WHAT YOUR SAYING ABOUT AMANDA IS EVEN CLOSE TO THE TRUTH????? (WHO EVER THE HELL THIS PERSON IS WHO POSTED THESE MESSSED-UP COMMENTS BESDIE THE PICTURES IS) like hollly fricken crap get a fat life and back down off your pedistool you effing moron. if you think thisssss is FAT or PLUMP then you should go die in a fat hole. I bet your a fat ass who cant even see your toes anyways LOSER
OMG! I totally agree with the “OMFG” Amanda is NOT fat. Okay, maybe there is a little something there. But its HEALTHY!!! She looks fabulous. At least she can walk out there in a dress like that and still look good and feel confident. GO HER! Our society is wayyy too into the skinny anorexic unhealthy thing. Maybe she’ll make a diff and more actresses will start loooking like they have a body insteady of a freggin pencil.
Later gators!
I dunno, I sorta agree with the original poster. She does look a bit chunky, especially if you look the high-res pix over really good, you’ll see what SS is talking about.
amanda i am sorry to say that i agree with the negative comments here
you do look a little fat in the belly area
try some aerobics gal
i say this only b’coz i like you
Put down the crack pipe, bro. This IS Amanda skinny. You so have it backwards. She’s usually fatter than this (http://www.stevebroome.com/myspace/amanda-bynes.jpg), and this is how she looks skinny. And she looks really good. What, cuz you can see her belly button? That’s not pudge. Again, lay off the crack pipe.
I know it must be hard to keep up with sites that people actually read like The Bastardly (which also had these photos and incidently did not call her fat in them), but you don’t have to resort to calling hot chicks fat.
amanda do what you want we don’t want any more actors/actoresses get eatingdisorders
I can’t believe that you are going to say that she looked bad. I mean, from a guy’s perspective: I believe that a little bit of “chunk” makes a girl look healthy and sometimes MORE attractive. I don’t always want to see celebrities look like they have not been eating or have been on extremely unhealthy exercise regimens. Basically, I don’t want to look over at these pictures and go “wow… she is really skinny!!” in a negative context. It is the idea of many americans that this is “perfection”. I always tell my fiance: “Perfection is boring. There is nothing to speculate about.” Please refer to the US Weekly publication about Jennifer Love Hewitt saying “Stop Calling Me Fat!”
I don’t think so, Nick – judging by how the American population looks and eats, it would seem their idea of “perfection” is corpulence and gluttony. Remember 2/3 of American women are overweight, 1/3 are obese.
She is thin, for god’s sake. This is the very thing that causes girls to have a defective body image when you call someone as svelte as amanda fat. Its ridiculous. If anything, she could still stand to gain a couple of pounds. Anorexia is rampant and this horrendous criticism of someone who isn’t stick, sickly thin is what’s causing it. No matter what, celebs can’t win. Either the public is calling them fat or their calling them anorexic. I guarantee most of the people dishing out the criticism are sitting there gnoshing on cheetos and soda with their pants unzipped.
Anorexia is rampant? Really? there’s prolly one case of anorexia for every 2500 cases of obesity. Have some perspective folks. And frankly she looks a LITTLE BIT chunky to me but just a little. She’s not fat but she has gained weight.
After reviewing these comments, I realized that there has only been debate over whether Amanda’s fat or not. Even more so – defending the fact that she’s merely gained weight but isnt fat. I’ve yet to see anyone add that simply put; SHE LOOKS HEALTHY. That is probably the most saddening thing about american society – healthy simply isnt enough. I don’t know, something about that sounds off to me.
first of all the article STARTS OFF SAYING she’s not fat, she’s GAINED WEIGHT. i agree!
plus, her face makes her look chubbier then she is.
she’s not fat but she has definitely gained. she just has to be careful.
Who Cares about her weight shes still hot. I think People are to caught up in trying to be perfect they end up destroying them self’s in the process is disgusting. A little weight is a lot hotter to look at then a walking skeleton (examples: Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan who was super hot before she became a prop at a Halloween party but shes coming back.) And on plastic surgery all I need to say is Tara Reid when from O So Hot to O So NOT!!!!
Oh my god, i can’t believe it… you think THIS is fat!!! You should see some of my friends and some person i met who is way bigger than her and who looks fabulous! I’m like the same weight has her and i don’t think i’m fat, OK! So, just get a life and stop complaining about others who don’t even care about you just to make you feel more confident!
I think no matter how she weight, she is the most beautiful girl in the whole hollywood star. she always look fierce and hot.
She is not even a single piece of the word Fat, she is skinny.
at least she is not like those actress that carry away like crazy and then after a week they look like worm that standing up in the crowed. SHE IS BEAUTIFUL AND IN PERFECT SHAPE, THIS WHAT YOU CALL HEATHY, SMART AND PERFECT.
OMG you HAVE to be kidding me here!! Amanda isn’t a size ZERO so she is FAT???? Man, this is really sad that you think a perfectly healthy girl is fat, when she is no where even close. So what if she actually has a bit of stomach? Its not like she is obese (or even close to it whatsoever) You people are sad and need to get a life. Really.
I think she is very beautiful and poster one has issues…go drink a bowl of milk…meeooowwww. The way you have clinically and analyically cut Amanda to shreds speaks volumnes about your sad sorry self!! The girl is gorgeous and her legs are slim!! either get some glasses or seek help because i’m only seeing pretty drop dead gorg in that particular pic honey!!
Miss Bynes is no where near fat, chubby or overweight! I honestly think she looks better with more weight on her. It gives her a feminine figure and she looks great (though she always has!)! The dress was a little unflattering, but it still looks beautiful on her!
Amanda Bynes looks HEALTHY. Being and looking healthy is TONS better than being a woman with a little boy’s body.
whoever says that amanda is fat is out of their mind! any girl who actually looks healthy and is a star is a hero to me. stars get so much pressure to stay fit and sometimes they just lose it and then you have another nicole ritchie. amanda looks great and she showing an example to the girls out there who think they have to be perfect when really there is no such thing except God.
She is very pudgy recently. just look at the pictures above – her face, her tummy, her thighs. She’s not fat but she could defintely lose weight!
OMG. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE.
she’s so freaking tiny, it’s people like you that have eating disorders and spread them. she looks like a woman! real women have curves. SHE LOOKS AMAZING. and you guys are just freaking jealous get a life. and go and eat some carbs bitches.
I THINK SHE LOOKS REALLY NICE
I THINK THAT SHE LOOKS BETTER THAN SHE EVER HAS
SHE HAS REALLY NICE CURVES
Wow I can’t believe Amanda Bynes is being ragged on for gaining weight. lol
that is NOTHING! if anything she looks a bit more mature now.
i always always thought she was a shapeless pencil
i always wished she had a bit more curves and now she does
she’s SOOOO beautiful
if you think that is fat, then you are really living a pathetic existence.
You don’t know how many women would kill for a body like heres. By calling her fat, thats setting the worst example out there and people are just gonna want to get super skinny and then probably die of anorexia because of your brainless comment. And I also see how your others posts are about weight. Seriously. Go read a book or something. Narrow minded people like you make this world shittier for us to live in.
I want Amanda to lose weight and darken her hair.
Oh my GOD!!! she used to be a size zero and now she’s a two … she could lose weight!! YOU PEOPLE GET A LIFE
Try on her extra small satin dress and see what YOUR belly and legs look like… I’d say she should gain 10 more pounds to look just normal but she’s okay thin like that too. But please… SHE USED TO BE WAY TOO SKINNY and the one who wrote that crap really had to pay the rent!!! it’s pathetic…
PS: nicole richie and victoria beckham are NOT sexy !!!! they’re frightening
This is not a size 2, if you think that you need glasses. I don’t think anyone said she was fat, just that she gained some chub. That is obviously true by these pictures. And I don’t think Nicole Richie is sexy but Victoria Beckam is!
I want that woman’s weight gain and hair too blonde to go away, it scares me.
She looks AMAZING to me!
I prefer her than many skinny “SuperModels”
She is a Godess.
Amanda’s gorgeous, this review on her is stupid. No one’s perfect, but Amanda’s far closer than the bloody reporter/reviewer person who wrote this!
She is not fat! The type of dress and cut may not have favored her, but who are we to judge?!? The same thing could’ve happened to anyone, even to us. Instead of judging her and putting her down to the ground (like all you that give neg. comments), we should admire her talent and give her props for not going into an eating disorder because of the stupid and ignorant media that surrounds us. She has a normal figure…not fat and not skinny, that with her charisma makes her who she is, an actress that we like to see on tv and movies.
What is it about most Hollywood starlets that they can’t STAY slim? Sure, most of them get there once or twice but almost none of them manage to maintain it..
you people HOOONESTLY have nothing better to do with yourselves than talk about if amanda bynes has lost weight or not???!!! that is TRULY the most pathetic thing i have ever heard!!!!! she looks absolutely amazing no matter what size she is! seriously… you all need lives. how bout you go run around the block a few thousand times and get down to the size -5 that you expect everyone else in the world to be! i doubt you’re there already.
this is so crazy! whoever wrote this must think you have to be bone thin anorexic to be considered skinny!
She doesn’t look fat at all. The dress is not the most flattering cut, but she still looks great.
she DOES look pudgy here. not FAT but she’s puffed up and not looking too svelte i’m afraid
I think that she looks great. I am not fond of her as a blond but she still looks good. The dress even flatters her body and her legs are amazing!! Typically, I dont like sleeveless anything but this is really beautiful on her.
it is amazing how the media has caused half of the people commenting on this post to act. who cares if she is a little pudgy? i think people who are twigs are the ones with problems. she is at a normal weight and thats what is important.
I think Amanda looks great!!!she has always been skinny so this is a remarkable change.Shes a woman now, who still expects her to look like a starving teenager

Wow you people are ridiculous. If anything she looks a little underweight. How dare you people come on here and criticize every little thing about her. I bet she works her ass off exercising and barely eating anything so that she can fit into the hollywood image. You people need to mind your own business and grow up. I don’t understand if your parents just didn’t have the decently to teach you manners and respect or if your such horrible people that you didn’t listen to them.
Umm Jessica could you make it any more obvious that you’re an angry fat girl? Just wondering. Oh and you might want to clean the cheeseburger grease off your eyes, because Amanda looks chubby to me as well…
Wow, you people are insane. I think the dress is definitely unflattering to her midsection, but she is probably just bloated or just ate. Have you all ever had a bad picture? As for her “chunky thighs”, that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Her legs and arms are tiny. She was just in this month’s issue of Cosmo and they even commented on her perfect legs. And before you say anything, I am a size 4 so no I am not an “angry fat girl” lol. There are definitely some haters in this room!!
WOWWW! A whole load of you are haters. Most probably half of you are jealous and the other half are anorexic losers. I’m sorry, but you guys need to get a life. I accidentally stumbled across this blog thingy and was amazed by the stupidity of these comments. And don’t even get me started on the haterism.
Katiex2: its so apparent that you’re a penis tip. No really, go kill yourself for being such a rancid loser. And before any any of you accuse me of being fat, I’ll have you bitches know I’m a size 0, beat that!
As for the rest of you dunglickers, PLEASE stop sip sip sipping on that Hatorade.
JEEEEZ! i wouldn’t mind being as ‘fat’ as her! she looks freakin good, not fat at all!!
amanda looks gourgas i dont think she would like people sayin shes fat and stuff coz i wouldnt. I think she is so pretty, everyone is just so dumb if they think she is fat coz shes not, when she was little she was realy skinny but now she isnt skinny an she isnt fat
seriously?
i would like to see pics of these people saying amanda looks fat. you people must be skeletons or else…kinda hypocritical! and i’m not myself btw, 95 lbs, so it’s not just like my feelings are hurt. it looks like she has gained weight, but ‘fat’ and ‘chunky’ are not appropriate captions to those photos
alot of u guys are saying that she looks fat and chunky, but her weight now is actually healthy, she was pretty damn skinny before so seeing her now is just a bit of a shock because we’re not used to seeing her a bit heavier, though most of us commenting about her being fat are probaby the same or above her weight. shes human too.
Uh you people are the idiots if you do not see the extra weight here, if I had a belly and thighs like this I’d be extremely upset… no way do I weigh what Amanda weighs in these pictures. Not FAT but FARRRRRR from skinny
yes she has more weight here, esp her belly and thighs
How can you say that? Anyone who’s said she’s fat? Other than the fact that it’s none of your goddam business, don’t go around judging people like that. Do you know how many people suffer from eating disorders and DIE because of things like that? As a recovering anorexic, and someone with a pretty fucked body image, I can say she looks fabulous and that everyone who’s said otherwise has just caused a dozen cases of eating disorders and all the complications that go along with them. Get a life.
You people are fucked up. She looks great and has an amazing body! She has grown up thus the weight gain. So she doesn’t look like a 12 year old anymore?? what’s wrong with that? she’s NORMAL. not pudgy at all, you’re just used to seeing her abnormally skinny. she still is thin though. and as a person who has suffered through an eating disorder, this is the type of thing that can retrigger someone. and it’s people like you that trigger them!
omg people.QUIT LEAVING THESE STUPID ARTICALS ABOUT THESE POOR CELEBS. THAT HAVE TO FACE MILLIONS OF FANS THAT ASKING THEM THINGS LIKE”are you realy that fat?”OR”i heard you gained___pounds this week.”WHO EVER POSTED THIS DUMB ARTICAL IS A REAL CRAP HOLE!!!!!!!you know what?i dont even give a crud anymore.go amanda!
Oh wow, I’m not fat I’m tiny but I’m also a teenager. Therefore I’m not expected to have a womanly shape. However when ur amanda’s age ur are supposed to have curves. That’s part of being a proud woman!!! Maybe those of you who are leaving these negative comments are skinny anorexic rotting in the corner from starvation man shapes! Seriously she’s gorgeous and fully grown up and hating her for that is just plain stupid. Of course she gained weight did you want her to stay a stick her whole life?! U are so quick to judge but if you were in her position how would you feel considering everyones criticizing you for growing the hell up! Honestly it’s ridiculous and disgusting to read! This is why people commit suicide from mean negative bitches like you!!!!
Sorry, bitches, she was SO much hotter before she gained weight …
As far as I’m concerned Miss Whoever-The-Fuck-Wrote-This (or Starving Socialite if you prefer, which is a rather fitting name seeing as you must be hungry), you have got to be the most critical person I’ve ever come across. Amanda Bynes is a beautiful woman who is evidently healthy and confident, no matter what her size. I’m not sure I can say the same about you. To me, you seem like one of those insecure, anorexic bitches who thrive off the thrill of making other people miserable. I’m not sure how you get off on that, but I hope you know it disgusts the majority of people who have visited this page.
She had started off her career looking like this and then probly bcuz of losers like Katiex2 became stick thin, which is natural for some but not everyone..so for her it was unhealthy. I read somewhere tat she fainted from being malnourished and then all of a sudden she disappeared and now shes back and healthy, so leave her alone bitches! I hate how ppl feel free to comment on girls appearances but leave the guys alone. When was the last time u heard someone comment on how fat jack black, jay z, jimmy kimmel etc are? Oh btw im not some obese feminist who hasn’t shaved in 3 months, so dont even go there!
I think Amanda looks fine. she has gained a little weight but she is not fat
i agree with #15, she has gained weight, but she looks healthy!…she’s just gained a bit of curves..but that’s definately not a bad thing…
i dont think she is fat but i def agree she has gained weight. i would not want her body.. she looked better when she was skinny.
o my freaking gosh! wtf has this world come to? this is not fat at all! personally i love when celebrities aren’t wicked skinny because it shows they’re real. Amanda Bynes is definitely one of my favorite celebrities because shes frikkin hilarious and real looking. Yeah, she has gained weight, but i think thats a good thing. Seriously i would hate if i was really skinny(i’m not fat though) because then you would be accused of being anorexic or bulemic. Also if your wicked skinny you are likely not to have curves. So if you think this is fat, you seriously need a beat down!
oh god… I’m speechless… Either a bunch of eyeless idiots wrote this article (This crap is not even worh being called an “article”) or some anorexic idiots wrote it…
This girl is not plump at all. That’s a fact.
You guys have issues… obviously o.O
(pardon my bad english, I know it sucks. it’s not my first language)
I think she looks perfect. She has a full face and everything. Trust me that 2004-2005 season on What I Like About You, well she needed to eat. Now she looks full and fine. She is still super skinny but better than how she looked in 2004-2005, she used to be like anorexic, mow she looks like a normal skinny beautiful girl. Besides looks aren’t everything. All of you who are saying Amanda Bynes is fat are clearly jealous because she has both looks and brain. She is one of the funniest people on Earth and also most beautiful. So, don’t hate, appreciaye. Amanda, your beautiful and skinny and don’t listen to these jealous no-life insecure idiots. Love you girl.
