Court Mandates Extended Psychiatric Hold For Amanda Bynes


Amanda Bynes Britney Spears

After months and months of erratic behavior, it looks like Amanda Bynes is finally getting the treatment she needs. The court decided to extend the former starlet’s 5150 psychiatric hold. Originally intended to last just s72-hours, the court extended Bynes’ stay in hospital to two weeks. The measure was reportedly taken, so that doctors would have enough time to observe and properly diagnose Bynes.

Amanda Bynes, Court
The former child star won't be released for another two weeks.

According to TMZ, the hearing was held at the hospital, where Bynes is currently detained. Bynes’ parents, who have been notably absent for the past few months, were also reportedly present. Following Bynes’ latest arrest, the two have finally filed for a conservatorship. While Amanda’s hospital stay renders the extreme measure unnecessary in the following too weeks – that is, until Bynes is released – her parents are seeking control over certain aspects of her life. Currently, it is unknown which aspects those would be exactly.

Amanda Bynes Perturbed By Perilous Puppy Plight


Amanda Bynes

Amanda Bynes’ recent fiery incident might have had direr consequences than the starlet anticipated. Sure, there is the 5150 psychiatric hold, and the trouble she caused to the residents of the house – people Bynes reportedly had no connection with. Not only that, but there seems to have been a victim – Bynes’ pet Pomeranian. Accounts of the incident differ, however, a video obtained by TMZ shows Bynes rushing into a liquor store shortly after the incident and carrying her furry friend.

Amanda Bynes, Chelsea
Amanda is clearly a dog lover.

According to the store owner’s account, after Bynes carried the dog into an employees only area, she proceeded to thoroughly rinse the little fellah in the sink – presumably to wash off the gasoline. Another eyewitness gave TMZ a detailed account of what had happened after the Easy A star lit the fire in an elderly woman’s driveway.

Amanda Bynes Forced To Undergo Mental Health Evaluation After Setting A Fire In The Middle Of A Driveway


Amanda Bynes

People have been calling for some kind of psychiatric evaluation to be given to Amanda Bynes for a long time now, and after months of bizarre behaviour and questionable Twitter etiquette, the former child star has been forced to undergo a mental health evaluation in California. The former Amanda Show star is currently in hospital on a 5150 psychiatric hold after starting a small fire in someone's driveway Monday night, and is expected to remain under surveillance for the foreseeable future.

Amanda was found in her trademark wig and burnt clothing

As TMZ first reported, Bynes was arrested in Thousand Oaks, California at around 9 p.m. local time for setting a fire in an unknown, elderly woman's driveway. The police were alerted when an eagle eyed neighbour spotted the blaze and called the local sheriff, who found Amanda stood next to the fire in a delirious state. Delirious, meaning that when she was questioned by the deputy sheriff who arrived at the scene as to what exactly was going on, she gave unintelligible answers. So unintelligible that she was instantly deemed worthy of hospitalisation, where she could be held on a 5150 hold - in other words, she was sectioned.

Amanda Bynes was seen attending Manhattan Criminal Court yesterday (9th July). The former child-actor is allegedly being charged with reckless endangerment, tampering with physical evidence and possession of marijuana according toNY Daily News.

When police entered her apartment she threw the drug paraphernalia out of the window. She later claimed when questioned that the item was "a vase".

Amanda Bynes Is "Gonna Kill The [Rap] Game," Says Collaborator Waka Flocka Flame


Amanda Bynes Waka Flocka Flame Wyclef Jean

In case you hadn't heard, everyone's favourite ticking time-bomb Amanda Bynes is dead set on becoming a rapper, and it has been looking increasingly more likely that her ambition will be realised ever since she shared it on Twitter. First, we heard that representative from Chinga Chang Records were meeting with the former child star with an offer to record her album, and now she has an even more well-known helping hand in the form of rapper Waka Flocka Flame.

Waka Flocka was speaking to TMZ this week when he said that he is currently in talks with Amanda to get her to join up with his label; Brick Squad Monopoly records, saying that although the two have not signed anything yet, the deal is all but done already. Waka is apparently so keen on linking up with Bynes on some tracks that he's already hired some people to write songs for the Easy A actress and has pledged his own rapping talent to a number of tracks on the album, which he said will be called Shots. He then warned TMZ; "It's going to be crazy hot."

The rapper also revealed that his work with Bynes is more than just for business, revealing that the two have become quite good friends since her rapping ambitions were made public; telling TMZ that the two text each other every day and regularly FaceTime on Skype - mostly to discuss her rap career but also so that Waka can give Amanda advice and tell her not to let the haters bring her down (we're honestly not making this up). When asked about Amanda's recent behaviour and whether there might be something up with her he was equally as defensive, saying, "Not at all. She has it all together to me. She is cool as hell and ready for the rap world. I think she is going to kill the game."

Winning? Is Amanda Bynes 'Doing A Charlie Sheen?'


Amanda Bynes Charlie Sheen RuPaul Rihanna Chris Brown

Amanda Bynes latest Twitter rant was levelled squarely at drag queen RuPaul, whom the television star described as being as ugly as her father. Bynes had begun the day by referring to writers at People magazine as "faggots," saying, ""Um, Peoplemag Hello? I'm not lost and alone! W H A T T H E F * C K A R E Y O U T A L K I N G A B O U T ? Follow me on twitter you faggots!"

Though she quickly deleted the tweet, RuPaul caught a glimpse of it, replying, "Derogatory slurs are ALWAYS an outward projection of a person's own poisonous self-loathing @AmandaBynes." Of course, Amanda took the bait and responded to RuPaul with a wave of abuse, saying, "My dad is as ugly as RuPaul! So thankful I look nothing like you both! I had nose surgery after my mug shots so my nose and I are gorgeous!"

RuPaul is known for her strong stance on derogatory slurs and told the Huffington Post's Gay Voices last year, "[I]n the ACT UP age we called ourselves queers because we earned the right, we took the word back. But in reality, once you go even deeper, you know, you have to come from intent. And black folks call themselves the n-word all the time. It's because the intent is coming from a place of love. If the intent is coming from a place of hatred, that's different"

Amanda Bynes Reflects On Her Recent Ups & (Mostly) Downs: " All I'm Becoming Is More Famous!"


Amanda Bynes

Amidst drug busts, court dates and apartment evictions, Amanda Bynes hasn't been having the best 2013 so far, however the former child star has begun to look on the bright side of things, taking to Twitter (for a change) to give a positive update on her current criminal charges and reflect on the bright side of things following her routine exposure in the press.

"The DA and my lawyer talked today. They have no proof of drugs on me or around me at anytime during the arrest or after," the actress/wannabe rapper revealed on Monday (June 3) through the social media site, before reflecting on the major positive to come out of the whole ordeal; that she's much more famous now. She continued, "All I'm becoming is more famous! Thanks for lying about me!"

Amanda isn't out of the woods just yet though, as she still has a follow-up court date to attend on June 7, but if Amanda's Tweet is telling the truth then she may not face any major charges. The Easy A actress no longer has to worry about complaints from her neighbours any more either, with Bynes reportedly moving out of her New York apartment last week. The exact reason behind her departure from the building is unclear, however the celebrity obviously didn't get along with her neighbours, so we're guessing it had something to do with that.

Amanda Bynes Is Looking For A Room To Rent. Anyone? No?


Amanda Bynes

Troubled star Amanda Bynes has reportedly been evicted from her New York City apartment following her arrest for drugs related offenses. A source from the New York Police Department told gossip mag In Touch Weekly that Bynes "was notified that she is no longer welcome as a tenant in the building in light of recent events." It was apparently at 9pm on Tuesday that several movers turned up to get Amanda's belongings out of the apartment.

Residents in the building have allegedly complained about her numerous times due to her reported marijuana use and general behaviour. On May 23, building officials at the swanky 271 West 47th Street called police to report Bynes was rolling a joint and smoking in the lobby. Several news outlets including TMZ.com reported how the 27-year-old threw a bong out of the window and was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment and taken for a psychiatric evaluation. 

Despite her erratic behaviour, which has included a Twitter spat with Rihanna, Bynes' attorney Richard Hutton says she's fine, "Amanda is a normal client.I've seen no indication of anything other than that. She is fully cooperating with me."

Amanda Bynes Is At It Again – Twitter Rage Hits RuPaul AND Her Father


Amanda Bynes

It seems as though every time Amanda Bynes is bored, her fingers fumble into her pocket, grasp her phone and end up typing something awful onto Twitter. Unfortunately for Amanda, she controls those fingers, and her and her silly finger are going to get into trouble very soon.

Her latest Twitter-tirade sees Drag Race host, RuPaul take the brunt, along with her father. "My dad is as ugly as RuPaul! So thankful I look nothing like you both! I had nose surgery after my mug shots so my nose and I are gorgeous!" she posted. But RuPaul, being the wise soul that he is, hit back with a Tweet that almost certainly bestows upon him the revelry of the ‘last laugh’. "Derogatory slurs are ALWAYS an outward projection of a person's own poisonous self-loathing @AmandaBynes," he wrote, basically confirming everything that everyone knows about Amanda Bynes. He may have ruined it by Tweeting "I'm a man, duh!" afterwards. But we’ll just ignore it.

A lot of people thought that Bynes had been hacked on Twitter last week, as she posted some pretty disgusting stuff to Rihanna. Stuff like, “Chris Brown beat you because you're not pretty enough.” Bynes, of course, claims that she didn’t write these tweets, and talked of her fondness and affection for Rihanna, but instead of claiming she’d been hacked, she asserted that someone had ‘mocked up’ the tweets. It really doesn’t make any sense.

Lance Bass Reaches Out To Amanda Bynes, Gets Hand Slapped Away


Amanda Bynes Lance Bass

There is something wrong with Amanda Bynes, says Lance Bass. The actress and the Dirty Pop with Lance Bass host were once thick as thieves. But recently, Bass has felt the wrath of Amanda’s twitter stream, like so many stars before him. Bynes’ outburst was prompted by Bass suggesting that the 27-year-old Nickelodeon star might be suffering from a mental disorder.

"She deleted all of her email addresses and cell phone numbers so none of her friends can get in touch with her," Bass said on his SiriusXM show, according to New York Daily News. Bass claims that his former pal has cut off all communication with family and friends and the only way to get any insight into her life is through her twitter stream: "Everything is deleted. She obviously has a cell," he continued. "She's tweeting, but none of her friends can get to her. Her family and friends can't get to her ... so the only way into her life is through Twitter."

Meanwhile, Amanda hasn’t been keeping quiet about Lance either. She claims that his mental disorder comment wasn’t prompted by concern, it was just Bass trying to get her attention... or something of that sort, it isn’t quite clear: "I ignored Lance Bass on twitter and now he is saying I have a mental illness," Bynes tweeted. "Sorry you're an ugly ex boy band member w/no talent or career."

Amanda Bynes' Neighbors Pull Out The Pitchforks, While Her Family Tries To Intervene


Amanda Bynes

According to a resident in Amanda Bynes’ apartment complex in NYC, living with the star is a nightmare of horror movie proportions. An anonymous neighbor of the retired actress talked to the New York Post about her erratic behavior and questionable habits. “She stares you out in the elevator. Residents are terrified to be alone with her. She knocked on one woman’s door, and when it opened, she screamed ‘You’re ugly,’ and ran away. Amanda always seems to be alone, muttering to herself and looking completely out of it.”

If what the unnamed resident is true, then Bynes’ behavior has gone beyond quirky, bordering on psychotic. Most news outlets have been buzzing with sightings of the star, behaving not exactly like herself. It began with sightings of Bynes around town in a number of strange wigs, drastic changes to her appearance like the infamous cheek piercings and then reports started coming in of Bynes shoplifting, posting nude photos on twitter and generally abusing social media. It isn't a pretty picture.

However, according to The Daily Mail, the actress’s LA based family has made a move to file for a conservatorship. According to The Mail’s source, Rick Bynes is currently in New York, but isn’t able to do anything about his daughter’s condition, because she refuses to see him. Hopefully, Bynes Sr. will be able to help Amanda get the help she apparently needs.

Amanda Bynes' Neighbours Recall The Nightmare Of Living With Her


Amanda Bynes

The 'is she really crazy?' saga surrounding Amanda Bynes continues to be added to from both sides of the argument. On Friday (May 31) evening, a seriers of interview excerpts from her neighbours living in the New York City apartment complex where Bynes was arrested was published by The New York Post, and not one of them had a nice thing to say about the troubled star.

Actually, some of the stuff that got said is quite extreme and paint a rather damning portrait of the former child star as someone who made life in the apartment a living hell. One resident at the West 47th Street building described living with the star “like living with Linda Blair in ‘The Exorcist,’” whilst another went on further and gave a few examples of why Bynes is such a lousy neighbour. They said, “She stares you out in the elevator. Residents are terrified to be alone with her. She knocked on one woman’s door, and when it opened, she screamed ‘You’re ugly,’ and ran away. Amanda always seems to be alone, muttering to herself and looking completely out of it.”

The two interviewees weren't the only ones fed up with Bynes' behaviour either, as one said that just about everyone in the building - staff and residents - is completely fed up with Bynes' behaviour in the public areas of the building. A source also went on to recollect the day before her arrest, when she apparently high-tailed it from a cab without paying the $150 fare, leaving her cell phone in the backseat. The source went on to add, "the good news is, she hasn’t been seen in the building since her arrest.”

Amanda Bynes Doesn't Remember Photo Taken With Rihanna In 2007


Amanda Bynes Rihanna Chris Brown Chris Daughtry

The Amanda Bynes saga is getting weirder and weirder. Firstly, she called Rihanna ugly and said the reason that Chris Brown beat her up was because she wasn't pretty enough. Then she said it wasn't her in control of the Twitter account at the time. Now she's saying the Bajan star is a "beauty" as well as posting a photograph of the pair she says was "mocked up". It's all well and good, only, the picture - taken in 2007 - is real, according to the New York Daily News. Does Amanda really not remember?

"This is a mocked up image I found on the Internet that I LOVE!" Bynes, 27, wrote. "I love @rihanna! She's such a beauty!" The photograph was a real picture of the pair posing  with Chris Daughtry in 2007, which Bynes clearly doesn't remember. The actress' bizarre feud with Rihanna began late last week, with the troubled star telling the singer, "You look so ugly tryin to be white."

Bynes deleted the tweets and claimed she never wrote them, saying, "I saw a bunch of mocked up tweets about me bashing Rihanna in my mentions," though most news outlets have screenshots of the tweets from Amanda's page. In other words, these weren't 'fake' posts circulating Twitter.

Bynes Behind Bars? The troubling saga that is Amanda Bynes versus the NYPD took a disturbing turn this week after the actress was arrested at her New York apartment for drug related offenses. After getting bailed, the former kids TV star threatened to sue the police, but doesn't she just need a little help?

Bootylicious! "Fan slaps Beyonce" read the headlines earlier this week, following the R&B superstar's show in Copenhagen, Denmark. The story was a little less disturbing than first assumed, though some cheeky fan still copped a feel of Bey's famous derriere!

Former Child Star Mara Wilson Gives An Insiders Perspective Of Why Child Stars 'Go Crazy'


Mara Wilson Amanda Bynes Lindsay Lohan Macaulay Culkin

You may recognise Mara Wilson from somewhere if you saw a picture of her today, not from anywhere recent but from your childhood, as though she is a long-lost friend you lost touch with in high school. That's because Mara Wilson was one of the most famous faces of the 90's and the star of numerous blockbusters such as Mrs Doubtfire, Matilda and the Miracle on 34th Street remake that made her a household name.

Mara isn't like most other child stars though, the Macaulay Culkins, Lindsay Lohans and the Amanda Bynes that have seen their lives spiral out of control just as their careers have dwindled to nothing, however the former child star has given some insight into why such well-known and loved celebrities spiral out of control after a childhood in front of the cameras. Mara, who quit acting in 2000, wrote a humorous yet informative article for Cracked.com entitled '7 Reasons Child Stars Go Crazy,' giving an insiders perspective on why so many child stars descend into madness.

Her first point was that 'Their Parents Won't Help Them ...' a point that included numerous nods to the help her own parents gave her in her young career. Mara herself had to 'force' her parents into letting her act and were fully supportive of her when she decided to give it up. Many child stars however do not have this close-knit relationship with their parents, and in turn they grow to resent their parents for taking away their childhood, their earnings and for pushing them until the acting bug has warn off. Sound familiar?

Courtney Love Is Voice Of Reason In Unsettling Amanda Bynes Saga


Amanda Bynes Courtney Love Christine Teigen Chris Brown Rihanna

We could hardly watch as Amanda Bynes delivered her latest scathing celebrity Twitter attack this week. The target? Hole singer Courtney Love. We could only imagine how Courtney was going to respond to a 27-year-old kids television star publically bashing her on the micro-blogging site, though it seems the former wife of Kurt Cobain is ready to help, not hurt, Bynes.

The 48-year-old singer, who's had her own troubles splashed across the newspapers for years, tweeted on Tuesday, "pull it together dude," before adding, "Will you people lay off on giving this girl such grief? Shes a beautiful talented young woman, we all go through our ups and downs. grow up!" It prompted television actress Alyssa Milano to respond, tweeting, "@Courtney I would totally be there if you can reach her. Let me know if I can help in any way." The rock singer replied, "@Alyssa_Milano so glad to see this. The industry can be so tough on the soul at times, but it redeems itself with people like you."

Bynes has endured a pretty rough week, getting arrested at her New York apartment for drug possession and shooting down a number of celebrities on Twitter. She reportedly told Rihanna that Chris Brown assaulted her because she wasn't pretty enough. She then told John Legend's girlfriend Chrissy Tiegen, "Ur not a pretty model compared to me. I signed to Ford models @ age 13. I don't look up to u beauty wise. I'm far prettier than u! I'm offended that you're saying I have a mental illness when I show no sign of it, but thankfully not one man that wants me wants you and you are anold ugly model compared to me! You look 45! You're not pretty so I'm not intimidated by you! I think you're jealous that you're just an ugly model whos career is uninspiring! I don't respect you! You're no beauty queen! I'm a beauty queen!" Wowzers! The rant came after Tiegen wrote on Twitter, "The fact that Amanda Byneshas any "support" to retweet is really unsettling. ...Support people with mental illness, yes. But don't condone/enable scary and poor behaviour."

Amanda Bynes To Rihanna: Chris Brown Beat You Because You're Not Pretty


Amanda Bynes Rihanna Chris Brown

Amanda Bynes' bizarre week continued in ridiculous style this week, with the former Nickelodeon star allegedly slamming Rihanna on Twitter and claiming her abusive ex-boyfriend Chris Brown beat her because she's not pretty enough. Bynes tweeted, "@rihanna Chris Brown beat you because you're not pretty enough," before hastily deleting the tweet.

She followed the nasty jibe up with another insult, claiming she was considering naming her dog after Rihanna. The Bajan pop-star appeared to get wind of the deleted tweets pretty quickly, posting, "Ya see what happens when they cancel Intervention?" before Bynes responded, "unlike ur fugly faced self I don't do drugs! U need the intervention dog! I met ur ugly face in person! U aren't pretty u know it!" (she deleted the tweet shortly afterwards).

The latest on the bizarre rant is that Amanda Bynes is claiming the tweets were fake and were posted by someone else. "I saw a bunch of mocked up tweets about me bashing Rihanna in my mentions. I'm followed by so many people that someone is always mocking up fake tweets so I feel the need to address them!" she added on Twitter. So we're none the wiser really, are we?

Amanda Bynes’ Inexplicable Twitter Attack On Rihanna – Was She Hacked?


Amanda Bynes Rihanna

No one really saw this one coming: Amanda Bynes launched a surprising and racist attack on Rihanna, posting a multitude of offensive tweets. The former Disney star will have some questions to answer to, but was it really her?

Amanda wrote: “@Rihanna you look so ugly tryin to be white,” before saying, “Chris Brown beat you because you’re not pretty enough.” Amanda then retweeted a post from Rihanna which said: “Look who came to see me!! My lover Stella McCartney!!!” and subsequently responded: “No one wants to be your lover so you call everyone and their mother that I almost named my new dog Rihanna.” Rihanna did have her say, though, writing “Ya see what happens when they cancel Intervention?” Amanda, 27, wasn’t finished there, though, and said: “Unlike ur fugly faced self I don't do drugs! U need the intervention dog! I met ur ugly face in person! U aren't pretty u know it!” Bynes was in trouble last week for allegedly throwing a foot long bong out of the 36th floor of her New York apartment. You thought we were going to say Subway, didn’t you? Anyway, she maintains it was a vase, which, when you think about, makes little difference to the fact she threw something off the 36th floor.

It wouldn’t be totally unbelievable for her to send these tweets to Rihanna, but we don’t think she’s racist. A spoilt brat with a plethora of issues, yes, but not a racist.

She Wasn't Smoking Pot, She Was Sexually Assaulted, Claims Amanda Bynes


Amanda Bynes

Plot twist in the Amanda Bynes arrest story: following the troubled actress’s arrest earlier this week for marijuana possession, Bynes has claimed that she was sexually harassed by one of the arresting officers. Bynes made the allegations over Twitter this Saturday, the New York Post reports. Over several tweets, the star made the following statement: “Don’t believe the reports about me being arrested. It’s all lies. I was sexually harassed by one of the cops the night before last which is who then arrested me.”

She later went on to explain her side of the story: “He lied and said I threw a bong out the window when I opened the window for fresh air. Hilarious.”

Sarcasm aside, however, the accusations Bynes has made are very serious and are being taken as such. Law enforcement officials are looking into the case and an NYPD spokesperson said, following Bynes’ Twitter outburst: “He lied and said I threw a bong out the window when I opened the window for fresh air. Hilarious.”

Amanda Bynes Arrested For Drugs Possession, Wears Blonde Wig [Video]


Amanda Bynes

Amanda Bynes was arrested for drugs possession at her New York City apartment on Thursday evening (May 23, 2013). The television star covered her face with a wild platinum wig as she was led out of her building in Manhattan and into night court, where she will face a judge this morning.

TMZ.com covered the whole thing, initially reporting that Bynes had been arrested for marijuana possession. Law enforcement sources said police found weed when they responded to a call about a disorderly person at Bynes' apartment building. It has since transpired that the person in the lobby was Bynes herself, smoking a joint.

When police arrived, she was back in her apartment and let officers in when they knocked, however, she also tossed a bong out of the window, which led to the eventual arrest for both drug possession and reckless engagement (and felony tampering with evidence). Sources confirm Bynes was briefly taken to hospital for a psychiatric evaluation before she was booked. Amanda reportedly went ballistic during the arrest, yelling "Don't you know who I am?".

Hey Media! Amanda Bynes Says Stop Using Pictures Of Her Old Nose


Amanda Bynes

Amanda Bynes has conceded that she underwent a nose job and has pleaded with magazines to stop using pictures of her old look. "The reason I've asked all magazines and blogs to stop using old photos of me is I don't look like that anymore! I had a nose job to remove skin that was like a webbing in between my eyes," she said in an extended Twitter post on Sunday.

The teen television star - now 27-years-old - has been in the headlines again recently following a handful of bizarre tweets. She recently told fans she had to drop 35 pounds. "I wasn't going to tell anyone, but I look so much prettier in my new photos that I don't want old photos used anymore!," she tweeted over the weekend. "When will they stop? I will never look like that again!" Bynes, who has certainly changed her image in recent years, assured fans that the surgery was "the most amazing thing for my confidence," and received a flurry of supporting tweets for fans. One said, "You're so pretty though! You are the queen!!!"

Bynes - who is now more famous for her erratic behaviour than anything else - shot to fame as a child star on 'All That' before landing her own sketch show 'The Amanda Show.'

Amanda Bynes Admits To Having Plastic Surgery On Twitter


Amanda Bynes

The ongoing train-wreck that is Amanda Bynes gave us another Twitter revelation this weekend, admitting on Sunday (May 5) that she has had plastic surgery in the past, revealing that she has had a rhinoplasty during a rant against magazines using old photos of her. In her mostly negative Tweet, she spoke very positively about her surgery and how much it has helped her confidence.

The former child actress has regularly been posting aggrieved Tweets about her misrepresentation in the media, who she reckons only use old, unflattering pictures of her in their glossys. To combat the neigh-sayers, Bynes' long-Tweet gave reason behind her annoyance; because the pictures don't feature her new nose.

Amanda Bynes Tweets Nudie Self-Shots: The Descent Into Madness Looks To Be Drawing Ever Closer


Amanda Bynes

Amanda Bynes is going a little Michael Jackson at the moment and trying to reclaim her 'lost years', in particular she seems to be missing her 'slutty teen' years. In an attempt to reclaim these 'golden years', the former child star has posed a dosier of semi-nude snaps of herself onto the micro-blogging site earlier this week.

She of The Amanda Show fame started uploading the risqué pics of herself on Thursday (May 2) and are still whipping up quite a storm online as the questions over her well-being are becoming more frequent and concerning. Whilst some nake snaps aren't exactly that concerning, what is concerning is the very visible lighter and what looks like a joint roach just behind her, with many speculating that the singer was doing more than smoking some pot when she put the pics online.

Amanda Bynes Family Concerned


Amanda Bynes Drake

What is happening with Amanda Bynes these days?

After bailing on L.A. and her acting career in favor of a freer East Coast lifestyle, the troubled 26-year-old has been acting a bit odd, to say the least. In the past couple of weeks, Bynes has revealed her edgy new look (complete with red hair and cheek piercing) and tweeted up a storm, including a not-so-subtle message to rapper Drake. The message read "I want Drake to murder my v-----." As you might imagine, it raised more than a couple of eyebrows. And while all of this might seem innocuous enough, coupled with her previous driving mishaps and all-over-the-place behaviour of the past few months, it has people concerned for the star’s life. Who would those people be exactly?

According to E!News, Amanda’s West Coast-based family has been paying close attention to her antics of late and they are concerned. A source says that Amanda’s parents would like her to return to the West Coast, where they can keep an eye on her, but the rebellious 20-something refuses. The source also claims that even though the actress will remain in NY for the time being, her relatives are hoping that everything will be fine, but are ready to step in, if needed. Talk about overbearing parents!

My gracious Amanda Bynes what on earth have you said on Twitter this week!? Well, we’re going to tell you, and everyone else, but it’s not pretty. Ready? Here goes… “I want @drake to murder my vagina." That was, in case you hadn’t guessed, aimed at Canadian producer superstar Drake and, well, certainly leaves us in no doubt as to what the 26 year-old thinks about Drake and whether she finds him, um, attractive. Or maybe she’s just a nihilist.

You kind of wonder whether her account’s been hacked, but then this isn’t the first bizarre tweet Bynes has posted, as E! Online have pointed out. Here’s a couple of examples: "When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth." Also, how about this boastful claim "I created the phrase lly & lololol. *proud*". Hmmm. Granted, these aren’t quite as, ahem, graphic as her latest tweet, but it suggests that it has perhaps come from Bynes and not someone who has hacked her.

More seriously, Bynes is in a bit of a turbulent state at the moment, after suffering a series of misdemeanors last year for a number of driving-related incidents which eventually saw her license taken off her and suspended. Thankfully for her a settlement in December meant that any charges were dismissed and she got it back again. No word yet on whether Drizzy has taken her up on her offer…

Amanda Bynes Was Not Nude In New York City, Footage Confirms


Amanda Bynes

Amanda Bynes was not wandering around a New York City tanning salon naked last week, CCTV footage confirms. A recent In Touch magazine article claimed the actress "seemed totally out of it" while visiting the salon, with an alleged eyewitness revealing, "She didn't seem to care that everyone saw her naked."

However, that account now seems unlikely, with James Oliver, CEO of the Beach Bum Tanning Salon telling US Weekly, "Employee testimony and security footage have confirmed that Ms. Bynes was not acting inappropriately. She is a long-time client and we stand by her account." Bynes had previously denied the story on November 1, 2012, somewhat boastfully saying, "I'm suing In Touch for printing a fake story. I'm not 'troubled.' I don't get naked in public. I'm 26, a multi-millionaire, retired. Please respect my privacy." Unfortunately for Bynes, police reports confirm that she's had a pretty rough year, pleading not guilty to two separate counts of hit-and-run driving in September. If convicted, she faces up to a year in jail, though she's also facing one DUI charge and two charges of driving on a suspended license.

Bynes is best known for appearing in a handful of romantic-comedies and family flicks, including Easy A (2010), What I Like About You (2002), She's the Man (2006) and Hairspray (2007).

Amanda Bynes Says She'll Sue In Touch Magazine For Publishing Tanning Studio Story


Amanda Bynes

Amanda Bynes has said that she will take legal action against the gossip magazine In Touch, which published a story about the former child actress saying that she was seen wandering aimlessly through a New York tanning salon wearing nothing but tanning goggles.

Bynes, who has recently faced huge criticism for a string of driving-related incidents that have seen her incarcerated a number of times, told US Weekly magazine that she will be suing In Touch for printing a false story about her, as well as insisting that her mental state is nothing to worry about. 

She was clearly unimpressed by the accusations when she went to US Weekly, telling the mag: "I'm not 'troubled.' I don't get naked in public. I'm 26, a multi-millionaire, retired. Please respect my privacy."

Amanda Bynes Says She Doesn’t ‘Get Naked’ And Doesn’t Need Help


Amanda Bynes

Amanda Bynes has leapt to her own defence as rumours about her life keep escalating with each passing day, with the star telling US Weekly that she in fact did not parade around a Los Angeles tanning salon in the nude and does not require professional help with any ‘mental problems.’

The former child star, who has been involved in a number of driving offences over the past year that have seen her be detained by police, was said to be spotted ambling around a local tanning salon in LA wearing nothing but her tanning goggles and looking “painfully thin.” The story, published in In Touch, said it had gathered the information from reliable sources who work at the salon and witnessed the supposed incident, however Bynes begged to differ during her US Weekly interview.

She told the gossip mag: "I'm suing In Touch for printing a fake story. I'm not 'troubled.' I don't get naked in public. I'm 26, a multi-millionaire, retired. Please respect my privacy."

The Shame! Goodyear Offer Lindsay Lohan And Amanda Bynes Free Driving Lessons


Lindsay Lohan Amanda Bynes

It’s been an embarrassing week for Lindsay Lohan. After publicly questioning why Amanda Bynes’ recent driving offences hadn’t been punished as harshly as her own past misdemeanours, Lohan had clearly troubled the gods of fate, as she was arrested for allegedly striking a pedestrian with her Porsche outside a New York nightclub. Now, the tire company Goodyear have clearly decided that both Lindsay and Amanda are both as bad as each other and have sent them almost identical letters, offering them free driving lessons.

TMZ have obtained copies of a letter, allegedly sent by a representative for Goodyear, offering to fly the two hapless actresses to Akron, for private, one-on-one driving tuition, in attempt to reduce these Lindsay Lohan arrests and Amanda Bynes DUI incidents. The letter addressed to Bynes begins by saying “We’re sorry to hear about your latest driving mishap. We understand that you’ve struggled behind the wheel before and that driving can be a real challenge… As a public figure, the spotlight is always on you and it’s even more important for you to know the basics when getting in the driver’s seat… We’re concerned for your safety and the safety of those who hit the road each day and we’d like to help out any way we can.”

The cheeky communications rep also offered the services of their dealers to replace her tires to some of Goodyear’s top of the range ones. As yet, it’s unclear whether or not either Amanda or Lindsay plan to accept the offer.

Lindsay Lohan Arrested For Striking Pedestrian: Police Say Lohan Was Sober


Lindsay Lohan Amanda Bynes

Lindsay Lohan arrested again? It looks as though Lindsay Lohan tempted fate when she lashed out at Amanda Bynes the other day. Though she's deleted it now, on September 16, 2012, the Lindsay Lohan Twitter page contained a message from the former Disney star questioning why she had been jailed for her past misdemeanors, whilst Bynes had seemingly managed to escape punishment, thus far. Then, in a move that seems to have been conjured up by an expert scriptwriter, Lohan was arrested for allegedly striking a pedestrian with her jet black Porsche, outside a New York club.

According to a report from the New York Daily News, Jose Rodriguez, the Manhattan chef, whom she is alleged to have struck, claims that Lindsay was "slurring" and "smelled of alcohol". He also said that Lohan and her friends "acted like I was nothing. that no one could touch her because she was rich and powerful." However, the police who dealt with the case have charged her with leaving the scene of an accident but have added that there's no indication that Lohan was under the influence of alcohol. In fact, they were so convinced that she was sober, they didn't even breathalyze her.

Lindsay's spokesperson has downplayed the incident, saying that it's "much ado about nothing" and expects the drama to blow over. A source at the police department also claimed that video evidence shows that Lindsay did the honorable thing of blinking her lights at the pedestrians but Rodriguez walked out in front of her.

Mom And Dad To The Rescue! Amanda Bynes' Parents Move To California To Support Her


Amanda Bynes

As if Amanda Bynes' reputation wasn't already in tatters, TMZ have reported that the 26 year old's parents have moved to California to look after her. Not a great look for an adult but clearly, her parents have acted out of necessity, as Bynes' behaviour has been spiralling out of control of late. Bynes is apparently adamant that she does not need to be placed under a conservatorship, as Britney Spears was, when her behaviour became uncontrollable but still, her parents have decided that they need to be closer to their daughter to lend her support during what is clearly a troublesome time.

Bynes' parents reportedly looked at selling their home in Cedar Park, Texas, in April after the initial Amanda Bynes DUI incident. They couldn't find a buyer so were unable to move immediately. As their daughter's situation worsened - she was involved in more than one hit and run incident, as well as a possible pot-smoking situation - they simply rented their property out and uprooted themselves to Southern California. Sources have told TMZ that her parents have been adamant in the past that Amanda does not have a problem with substance abuse though increasingly, the evidence against her seems to suggest otherwise.


Yesterday, reports emerged that Amanda "barricaded" herself into a clothes boutique changing room for almost 2 hours. When concerned staff tried to find out if she was okay, she simply told them that she needed more time. Eventually, she left in a cab, after making her purchases, with one reporter telling her that it was good that she'd started taking cabs; a sly comment on her recent string of driving offences.


Shopping Under The Influence? Amanda Bynes Spends 2 Hours In Boutique Changing Room.


Amanda Bynes

Amanda Bynes' recent erratic behaviour doesn't seem to be showing any signs of levelling out. The latest reports reveal that the Nickelodeon star went on a lengthy clothes shopping trip yesterday (September 17, 2012), which saw her spend almost 2 hours in a boutique dressing room. Now, we've all suffered those embarrassing moments where we get stuck inside a too-small dress in a changing room. but 2 hours? That's pretty excessive by most people's standards. According to TMZ, Bynes went shopping in trendy West Hollywood and popped into the hip boutique Kin, where she proceeded to confuse store staff by holing herself up in the changing room for an hour and 45 minutes.

Apparently, the staff heard banging from inside the changing room every 10 minutes or so and asked if 26 year-old Bynes was okay. Another staff member was called and they drove to the store but were unable to coax Amanda out of the dressing room. "I need more time," the actress told them. When she emerged, around 5:30pm, she took a number of items to the till to pay for. At first it seemed that she had forgotten about a bathing suit top that she tried on but she remembered before leaving the store and paid for it.

When she spotted some paparazzi outside, Bynes asked the store staff if they could call her a cab. In TMZ's video, she can be seen getting into the cab, with her face covered. She is helped into the cab by a young man and refuses to comment on the reporter's question about whether or not she feels she should be under a conservatorship. The clip ends with him commenting, cheekily: "It's good that you're getting taxis now;" a comment on the recent string of Amanda Bynes DUI offences that have kept her in the headlines.

Stories Of Drugs, Alcohol And Mental Stress, But Amanda Bynes Insists She's Fine


Amanda Bynes

Several Amanda Bynes' DUI incidents have caused growing fears about the mental well-being of the young actress. Well, we needn't worry, according to the 26 year-old; she's absolutely fine. To recap, it's been widely reported now that Bynes had her driving license suspended in the wake of an incident in April that saw her refuse to take a sobriety test after being pulled over for a suspected DUI. However, this hasn't stopped her driving, according to several sightings; on September 11th, Bynes was seen driving aimlessly around for several hours, with TMZ alleging that she was drunk and smoking from a marijuana pipe at the time.

Following that incident she had another minor incident where she crashed into the bumper of another car, before officials eventually were left with no choice but to impound the vehicle after spotting it parked outside the Bob Hope Airport in California. A new TMZ report though says that Bynes has hit back at rumours that she's mentally unstable, insisting that she's completely fine and doesn't have an issue with drink or drugs currently.

Furthermore, Bynes seems to be pretty dismissive of the allegations being levelled at her, regarding her driving - something her recent actions would also attest to. She's reportedly claiming that the charges currently against her are made-up. It's a statement somewhat at odds with other reports that suggest the actress has indeed shown signs of mental distress, including talking to inanimate objects.

Robots Review


Extraordinary
The 1995 release of Pixar's Toy Story forever altered the world of animated cinema. In an instant, decades of Disney-dominated traditional cartoons vanished in a pixilated puff of fairy dust and a new era of almost entirely computer-generated animation began. The ensuing wave of digital films has met with such astonishing box-office success that even such forgettable romps as Chris Wedge's Ice Age have managed to top the earnings charts in their opening weeks.

But things are changing in the animation scene. The freshness of CG has worn away, and audiences are no longer wowed by flashy technology alone. Disney/Pixar's The Incredibles has raised the bar on both animation excellence and story-telling savvy to a level that will be hard to top in coming years. If such early hits as Toy Story or Antz premiered today, it's unlikely they would wow the crowds nearly as much as they did on their initial releases. It's a tough time to be an animated film.

What A Girl Wants Review


Weak
Don't be fooled by the title. Despite being named after a Christina Aguilera song, What a Girl Wants is not a movie about a good-girl-turned-trashy-ho. Rather, it's the story of a sweet, all-American girl who generally enjoys her life but can't get past one thing: She's never met her father. As her high school days come to an end, young Daphne Reynolds (Amanda Bynes) decides it's time to meet this mysterious man who managed to woo her mother so many years ago, and so she throws her passport into her backpack and heads off to London.

What ensues is a standard fairy tale: Daphne quickly finds her father, Henry (Colin Firth), but is hindered in her attempt to forge a meaningful relationship thanks to an evil stepmother and debutante stepsister who are only interested in Henry's status and wealth. Fortunately, Daphne's got her American charm on her side and, with the help of her wise grandmother and cute new boyfriend, she's able to win Henry's heart and even manages to get him back together with mom. They all live happily ever after, as we are told at the end.
