Amanda Bynes Twitter controversy

Amanda Bynes has taken to Twitter to reach out to her fans and let them know how mature she's become. Bynes got into a little trouble when she tweeted about a guy she was dating, and how because of him she preferred dating black guys (chocolate). When she was criticized for racial stereotyping, Amanda Bynes deleted those tweets and clarified on the controversy: "long story short i of course love both chocolate and vanilla, i just PREFER chocolate now :) ♥ live and let live! :)"



The former child star and teen comedy thesp told Maxim, "Some people still see me as a kid, but I'm a 23-year-old woman now." All grown up Amanda Bynes also told Cosmopolitan that she feels excited doing bikini scenes in films, because, "I'm proud of my body!"

On Twitter Bynes posted that she spent Valentine's Day alone. "I just want a person who can see me with all my flaws and still love me," she had told Cosmopolitan last year. "I want someone who'll be there and who I can trust--that's really important to me." But Amanda is no hurry to get married as this tweet shows: "I want to be a mom but not til I'm 30 and even if I get married b4 (before) then I still want to wait to have kids til long after I'm married. (Because) children are a lot of freakin work and I can't deal with that til I'm AT LEAST 30 :)"

She told Cosmo, "As I get older, I don't really want to be in things I wouldn't be interested in watching." Amanda's next release is Easy A with Emma Stone and Aly Michalka. Talking of her character in the movie, Bynes told Maxim, "My character is like Reese Witherspoon in Election meets Rachel McAdams in Mean Girls."

The other two blondes in the pic are Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth. Some of Amanda's tweets are less controversial and more philosophical: "Love is like a puzzle. When ur in love, all the pieces fit but when ur heart gets broken, it takes a while to get everything back together." Another tweet from Bynes reads: "Negative emotions cause erratic patterns called heart rhythm incoherence, which has a damaging effect on your body."



Good to see that one thing that hasn't changed too much with Amanda Bynes is her healthy body. Obviously she's paying attention to her fitness and diet. 5'8" Amanda Bynes says that of the ideal Valentine's Day gifts: "I like jewelry, because it's forever. Flowers die, chocolates get eaten, and lingerie eventually gets worn out in the wash."

Sophie Monk banging body

Sophie Monk in Australian Men's Style. the actress and model is a hot favorite with tabloids for her romances with Jude Law, Jason Statham, rocker Benji Madden, and plastic surgeon Dr John Diaz. "It’s hard because all he does is squeeze boobs all day," she said last month of her relationship with Diaz. "It’s not normal. I make out with guys in movies and he squeezes boobs all day! There is nothing healthy about this relationship." They have now broken up and Sophie Monk is single again.



In Australia 5'6" tall Sophie was the poster girl for Expozay swimwear, and in Hollywood she got all the hot blonde roles. She portrayed Marilyn Monroe in The Mystery of Natalie Wood, bagged roles in Click, Entourage and showed off her banging body in Date Movie:



Speaking to Ralph magazine about Date Movie Sophie said, "Yeah, I’m a vegetarian and I had to eat burgers for a parody of Paris Hilton’s Carl's Jr ad. It was disgusting, and they kept bringing out more and more burgers. Bikini girls in slow motion eating burgers? That’s such bullsh*t." Sophie has a very self-deprecating sense of humor and told the mag of her lack of interest in studies, when she was growing up in Australia. She would show up to school without pen and paper and tell her teachers: "Don't worry....I'm not doing anything to do with maths."

Vanessa Hudgens pretty feet

Vanessa Hudgens says that as a young girl she was conscious of her height and thick calves. Vanessa is 5'3" tall and told Self: "I've got big calves that look good. When I wear heels, it looks like I've worked out my legs a lot, which is why I love them. I also have a big, big big toe. I call it my goat toe. I can climb anything." Pretty girl Hudgens told Seventeen: "When I was younger, I despised my legs. I thought I had tree stumps for legs because I was a dancer, so they got pretty big at times. And as I got older, I learned to appreciate them, because I have muscular legs, you know, and not a lot of people have that. So, it just makes my legs looking better when I wear high heels and now, I definitely appreciate it." The need to wear heels most of the time leaves Vanessa Hudgens' feet hurting, and she loves getting pedicures and foot massages.

Vanessa Hudgens has been seen going barefoot at The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, and for photoshoots. She likes walking barefoot on the grass. As a Neutrogena spokesperson, Vanessa Hudgens uses their foot cream to moisturizes and soften her pretty feet.

Jenna Dewan tight body

But I wasn’t like these girls. The way they acted is so foreign to me. I was on a competitive team. We were a very athletic squad. We did social things, but we couldn’t get away with anything. If we missed a practice, we got demerits." Dewan took to dancing as a schoolgirl, became a backup dancer and got a few acting gigs. Since then Jenna Dewan's tight body has been seen in movies like Step Up, Tamara, Balls to the Wall, Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal, and American Virgin.

Computer Science award

Brent Waters, assistant professor of computer science at The University of Texas at Austin, has been awarded a 2010 Sloan Research Fellowship. Sloan Research Fellowships are awarded every year by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to stimulate fundamental research by early-career scientists and scholars of outstanding promise. The two-year fellowship will provide Waters with funds to support his research.

Waters' research is laying the foundation for managing encrypted computer data in cloud services (no more personal computer), where data is stored at third-party locations outside of the owner's control. Third-party storage sites are high value targets for an attacker, and Waters' research is helping build an entirely different vision for encryption, called functional encryption.
