Actor Amanda Bynes has reportedly received an invitation to be a part of popular US reality dance competition show Dancing With the Stars. Although fans won't be seeing Bynes dancing on the floor. The actor has reportedly received an invitation quite a lot of times but she has rejected the offer every year. According to an international media outlet even if Bynes is given far better offer in terms of finances this is not the type of comeback she is looking for. 

“In the end, it's not the type of comeback she's looking for. If she were to go back into showbiz, she'd want to have a steady acting role. Doing the show just wasn't what she envisioned for her future." Instead, "she's taking things one day at a time."
