Amanda Bynes has laughed off reports her new mystery boyfriend is Drake, insisting she's never even met the Canadian rapper. The "Hairspray" star has been regularly updating her Twitter account to give hints about a new man in her life, and she prompted speculation of a romance with Drake with one message, which revealed her lover failed to win at the Grammy Awards last week.

She wrote, "The guy I love is the most talented person ever!!!!!! I'm irritated that a certain guy didn't win certain awards. ... He deserved them!!!"Drake was nominated for two prizes at the 2010 ceremony but went home empty-handed.

Now the actress has taken to Twitter once again to rule out any romantic link with the "Best I Ever had" hit maker, writing, "FYI (for your information) I've never met Drake! We have a mutual friend but we haven't met yet! So for some reason people think we're dating but we're not!"

From the looks of her Twitter page Amanda Bynes seems rather smitten with one of yesterday’s disappointed GRAMMY nominees. The actress has been twittering away about her new love interest in the last few days. While she stops short of declaring them a couple or naming him publicly it seems like there is a pretty good chance she’s talking about a certain Canadian rapper. Look under the hood for the evidence.

Among Amanda’s many lovesick tweets:     “i hope the guy im into KNOWS who he IS!!!!”    “the guy i love is the most talented person ever!!!!!!”    “He inspires me to be better! *heart* awww we should get married :) “    “i’d say his name if we’re an OFFICIAL couple and we AGREED to tell people :) “everybody i am NOT engaged! Stop asking me please!! Lol. i’ll let you all know when it happens one day :) He’d have to be my boyfriend 1st!
Pre-Grammy tweets: *heart* wishing someone good luck today!!! if a certain somebody doesn’t win i’m gonna be pissed!

America’s sweetheart Amanda Bynes is all grown-up and is looking so fine in Maxim February issue Here’s a snippet of Amanda Bynes’ Maxim interview:Posing for us is the greatest Valentine’s Day gift we can imagine. Thank you!I’m honored! I had the best time on this shoot. I think every shot I did was sexy. Some people still see me as a kid, but I’m a 23-year-old woman now. You want to show the world you’re all grown up?

I want to show people who I am. My parents were like, “Does this mean you’re gonna do sexy movies now?” I said, “Well, if they’re done the right way, then maybe!” I mean, I’m not gonna do porn, but if it’s a Leonardo DiCaprio movie or whatever…    Oh, we get it. If a scene involves making out with Leo DiCaprio, then it’s OK?     Ha, yeah, then I wouldn’t mind! Point is, it’s time for me to start making my own decisions.

Actress Amanda Bynes is ready for steamy movie scenes – at least if they are with Leonardo DiCaprio. The star, best known for kids’ shows on Nickelodeon TV in the US, says at 23 she is ready to shock fans with a more sexual image. 'Some people still see me as a kid, but I'm a 23-year-old woman now,' she told Maxim magazine.

'I want to show people who I am. My parents were like, 'Does this mean you're gonna do sexy movies now?' “I said, 'Well, if they're done the right way, then maybe!' I mean, I'm not gonna do porn, but if it's a Leonardo DiCaprio movie or whatever...'

We have just obtained these new pictures of Amanda Bynes in Maxim magazine. As you can see, Amanda once again puts her talents on full display in these photos. From her previous Maxim pictures we could already see that she had a bitchin rack, but in these new ones Amanda hits us with a bombshell… she also has a nice shaped butt and legs.

These pictures of Amanda Bynes are going to do wonders for her career. However, I still maintain that if she wants to make it on the A-list we are going to have to see some nipple, or at the very least some bare ass. Again I’d like to volunteer my services to take these photos of Amanda Bynes in a completely tasteful and classy manner either in my basement or chained to my bed. Whichever she is more comfortable with.

Amanda Bynes has shed her child star image by posing in a sexy photo shoot for lads' magazine Maxim. The 23-year-old actress is pictured on the cover of the February issue. Bynes, who made her start in Nickelodeon children's show All That, says: 'Some people still see me as a kid, but I'm a 23-year-old woman now.'

The actress also says that her parents asked her if the bold move meant she was going to take on more risqué roles. 'I want to show people who I am,' Bynes says. 'My parents were like: 'Does this mean you're gonna do sexy movies now?'

'I said: 'Well, if they're done the right way, then maybe!' I mean, I'm not gonna do porn, but if it's a Leonardo DiCaprio movie or whatever...then I wouldn't mind. 'Point is, it's time for me to start making my own decisions.'The California native has been in showbiz for 13 years, getting her break at the tender age of 10. 'I had taken a class at the Laugh Factory [a comedy club on Sunset Boulevard],' she says, 'and producers from All That were in the audience at the graduation show. That's where it all began.'

“I never really say I have a type, because every guy I’ve liked has looked physically different. Most guys I’ve dated started as friends, though. Treat me like a friend and maybe you can become a boyfriend.” Single actress AMANDA BYNES reveals what she looks for in a man.

Although we still think of her as a goofy kid on Nickelodeon, Amanda Bynes is looking grown up in the new issue of Maxim. And the covergirl, who is in lingerie for the shoot, isn’t shy about her new look: “I think every shot I did was sexy,” she says. “Some people still see me as a kid, but I’m a 23-year-old woman now.”

She goes on to say that, although she has limits, she wouldn’t mind some steamy scenes in the future. “I’m not gonna do porn,” she claims, “but if it’s a Leonardo DiCaprio movie or whatever ... ”
Now Amanda, we love a girl with a plan — especially this plan — but you’re no Kate Winslet. Or even a Claire Danes. On the bright side, there are endless possibilities for an adult spin-off of “The Amanda Show.”

Amanda Bynes wants you to know she's not that little kid from that Nickelodeon show anymore. And what better way to prove that than by stripping down for Maxim?

"I had the best time on this shoot. I think every shot I did was sexy," the former child star says of her spread for the February issue, on which she's also the cover girl. "Some people still see me as a kid, but I'm a 23-year-old woman now."
