When you’re tweeting selfies of yourself wearing nothing but a black lacy bra, and you’re a some kind of a celebrity, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise when Playboy offers you a job.
Well, that’s exactly what happened to Amanda Bynes.
@amandabynes Seriously, Amanda – we want you to co-host our afternoon show for a day. Please DM your info.

Playboy Radio reportedly extended an offer to the actress (can we still call her that?) to host her own daily, hour-long show. After a one-week trial, the actress could sign a year-long contract, complete with perks (driver and producer included).
Unfortunately, she turned them down.
Why? Apparently, she’s making an album. “I want to [do the show]. But I can’t because I’m recording an album!” she told TMZ. “I’ll go on their show for an interview when I’m promoting my album.”
No bong, no apartment, no job. Things are not going well for Amanda.
This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
