Here, Chamuel blows out the candles on a cake presented to her by cafe owner Rebecca Robbins. Northampton residents Josh Calianos and Caleb Stern, both 12, are fans of the emerging star. I realized I recognized her because she had served me a couple of times when I came in here," Stern said.
May Staples, 13, and her 9-year-old sister Libby, of Northampton, made a sign for the singer that read "Welcome home". The girls have been following Chamuel since the auditions and are hoping she will win. Ginny Maxwell, a Northampton resident and daughter of Dmitri Robbins, stopped by to show her support for Chamuel and for Woodstar.
Chamuel also praised the cafe, telling co-owner Rebecca Robbins that she feels like a part of the family. She also said that while making coffee was not her forte, she prepared plenty of sandwiches and cleaned tables and floors.
Audiences asked Chamuel to belt out a tune, but NBC crews did not allow it, moving the singer past the crowd outside and into the cafe for another interview. The film turned out to be a critical hit and a modest box-office success.
The college campus comedy, Sydney White , released the same year, and starring Bynes, was almost a total flop and some critics began to question her talent. Bynes earned only three acting credits following that film. In , she tweeted that she was retiring from acting.
A few weeks later, she retracted her retirement via Twitter. In , she has two separate car accidents, one involving a police car. She faces DUI and hit and run charges that are still pending and could get her jail time. In March, , she tweeted photos of her dramatic change in appearance: strange hair, cheek piercings, and heavy make-up. Also, for almost three years now, there have been almost daily bizarre tweets about other celebrities, including a graphic one last April about her desire for interfaith rap star Drake , On May 23, she was arrested after allegedly throwing marijuana paraphernalia out of her Manhattan high-rise apartment window.
She was first taken for a psych evaluation at a hospital, followed by booking at a police station. She virtually retired from acting in and now pursues other interests, including playwriting. Here are those reasons, in reverse order, with my comments about how they relate to Bynes:.
I chose to start acting when I was 5. It was my decision, and my parents tried their hardest to discourage me.
When I insisted, they allowed me to act, but were always very protective of me. I saw many child actors who did not have that, and they were all miserable. Kids whose parents pushed them into acting often grow up to resent them…[or] they were doing it for the money [even] supporting their family. One can imagine that talented children from around the country, accompanied by high-anxiety parents, appear in these Hollywood showcases and are more than aware there are serious talent scouts in the audience.
Even good, non-stage-parent parents can have trouble asserting authority over their kids. My parents, I think, did most things right. But even they had to answer to a higher power. Years of adulation and money and things quickly become normal, and then, just as they get used to it all, they hit puberty — which is a serious job hazard when your job is being cute…. A child actor who is no longer cute is no longer monetarily viable and is discarded.
He or she is then replaced by someone younger and cuter, and fan bases accordingly forget that the previous object of affection ever existed. Bynes was fortunate enough to make the transition from child to teen roles fairly successfully. But, like many child stars, when she hit her early 20s, she was competing, apparently not very successfully, with the army of adult acting hopefuls who descend each year on Hollywood. To be a teen idol is to be vulnerable. Natalie Portman has said similar things.
Probably one of the reasons I was never big into partying as a teen was because I was scared of the public finding out…. Nearly every teenager rebels. But most of them have about five people they need to answer to when they screw up: teachers, school administrators, and their parents or guardians.
They also have money and little to no experience making decisions for themselves, so their rebellions are going to be on a much larger scale. The whole world will see it. As the episode closed, Amber Carrington from Adam Levine 's team and Holly Tucker from Shelton's were announced to round out the top 6. Shocked to see Judith Hill eliminated, since she seemed the pre-destined favorite from the start; but this leaves the field wide open for Michelle.
Does anyone find it odd that Blake Shelton's retained his entire team since America started voting? He hasn't lost a single performer. Do you think the voting is skewed somewhat to performers with a country music slant?
