Wonder is she going to the SuperBowl ?
Has anyone room for Amanda for a few weeks/months?
Sentence increased to 28 and a half years.
No, but sheâs definitely going to Cheltenham.
She will blend in in that cut throat environment.
I wonder will the Yanks be as quick to extradite Foxy Knoxy as they are to demand the Brits to extradiate alleged white collar fraudsters and autistic computer hackers?
Great to see the fragrant Amanda back on her feet again

Amanda Knox, who is currently appealing against her conviction for the murder of British student Meredith Kercher, is working as a freelance reporter for a local newspaper.
Knox, 27, was reconvicted in January of the murder of her former housemate, who was found dead at a house in Perugia, Italy in 2007.
Knox has been working at the West Seattle Herald for the last few months, according to the paperâs website editor Patrick Robinson.
Mr Robinson said Knox, who he described as a âvery bright, very capable, highly qualified writerâ, was approached to "give her the opportunity of a normal lifeâ.
She used a pen name to begin with, but switched to using her real name after she âgot her feet wetâ, Robinson told the Daily Beast.
Among her work is a preview of a local high schoolâs production of Tom Stoppardâs Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.

He insisted that her notorious past had nothing to with the decision to hire her.
âIt doesnât matter what people say or think - the truth is that sheâs a West Seattle resident, she grew up here.
âWhy not give her the opportunity to be an actual human being versus a celebrity?â
Knox and her Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were found guilty of Ms Kercherâs murder in 2009, but were acquitted in 2011.
An Italian court reinstated the guilty verdicts on January 31, and sentenced Knox to more than 28 years in prison.
Knox, who has consistently maintained her innocence, remains in the US while the case is appealed.
Italyâs top court is to decide whether to uphold the convictions of American Amanda Knox and Italian Raffaele Sollecito for the 2007 murder of British student Meredith Kercher.
The former lovers were convicted for the second time last year.
The Court of Cassation must now choose whether to confirm the conviction or order a retrial.
Knox and Sollecito have maintained their innocence throughout and have already served four years in prison.
Leeds University student Meredith Kercher, 21, from Coulsdon, south London, was found dead in the flat she shared with Knox, now 27, in Perugia, central Italy, where both women were studying.
Her partially-clothed body was found under a duvet in her bedroom, which had been locked from the inside. Her throat had been cut.
Prosecutors claimed she was killed as part of a bungled sex game and Knox and Sollecito, 30, were convicted of the murder by a trial court in Perugia in 2009.
They were freed in 2011 after an appellate court overturned the convictions.
The Court of Cassation rebuked the the appellate judgeâs reasoning and last year an appeals court in Florence sentenced Knox to 28 years and Sollecito to 25 years.
Sollecito, from Bari, southern Italy, has remained in the country, and arrived at the Court of Cassation for the hearing on Wednesday.
A definitive conviction would trigger attempts to extradite Knox who lives in Seattle in the US.
Rudy Hermann Guede, born in the Ivory Coast, who opted for a fast-track trial, is serving a 16-year sentence for his role in the murder.
The high-profile case has inspired books and at least two films, and Kercherâs family has said Meredith, the real victim, risked being forgotten.
Originally portrayed as a fast-living partygoer, Knox came to be seen in much of her home country as a victim of a botched investigation and an unwieldy justice system.
The US state department has said officials are monitoring the case.
Could we set her up with Graham?
She got engaged, no?
Raffaelle kind of blew her alibi the other day i think?
Sheâs wrecked- gas the bitch.
Clearly innocent
You reckon everyone is innocent.
Acquitted of murdering Ms Kercher
Never in doubt.
Anyone see the new 90mins netflix documentary about her case? I expected it to be a lot better, given there were interviews throughout with Knox, Rudy, Raffaele, the lead detective, the lawyers etc. They show Knox going about her life now in Seattle. By god she is one thoroughly dislikeable, cold, unconvincing bitch.
