Amanda Bynes

Amanda Bynes was placed under an involuntary 5150 psychiatric hold after setting fire to a stranger's driveway in Los Angeles on Monday night (July 22) -- and now that doctors have had time to take a look at her, they've decided she may need serious help. Ya think?

Amanda Bynes was placed on a psychiatric hold on Monday night (July 22) after setting some of her clothing on fire in a stranger's driveway. Now the homeowner is happily sharing the damage with the media. Won't that be a story to tell her grandchildren one day as they gleefully ask, "Who's Amanda Bynes?"

The 911 caller in Amanda Bynes' bizarre fire -- the one that led to her 5150 psych hold -- is talking about the incident, and more details are emerging as to why Bynes was in the neighborhood in the first place. In the 911 call, the caller describes the incident as a "small fire," but explains that it was a cloth on a gasoline tank -- effectively creating a potential makeshift explosive.

Well, you had to see it coming. Actress and professional media magnet Amanda Bynes has finally been placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold. And all it took was starting a fire in a stranger's driveway.

Amanda Bynes is up to her newfound wacky antics yet again, this time being caught trespassing at a retirement community in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Maybe she just had a wicked craving to play some shuffleboard? Or perhaps it's always been her dream to call out Bingo numbers.

Amanda Bynes was seen dancing in New York City -- if you can call what was captured on this video "dancing" and not "being attacked by a swarm of invisible locusts" or "my butt itches but I don't want to scratch it in public." Or maybe she was just twerking out again.

Amanda Bynes appeared in a New York court this morning (July 9) to face charges of reckless endangerment and tampering with evidence after she threw a bong -- which she claims was merely a a vase -- out the window of her high-rise apartment building in May. And what better way to prove how sane she is than to show up in a greenish-blue wig. "But your honor," we hope she said, "I cou

A lot of celebrities and internet wonks have had advice for young starlets gone astray Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Bynes. But perhaps no celebrity has had such good advice as Dame Helen Mirren. The woman is wise and wonderful and the super cool aunt we never had (sorry real-life aunts, we love you -- but even you have to admit DHM would be off-the-hook).

Wyclef Jean addressed those rumors that he'd be producing the upcoming mythical Amanda Bynes rap album, with his people saying this week that he has no plans to work with the actress. But that doesn't mean she's left high (so to speak) and dry -- because Waka Flocka Flame has come to her rescue.

Not only is Amanda Bynes' rap career looking more and more as if it's a real thing, Wyclef Jean has now allegedly signed on to produce the eventual album (which may or may not put William Hung to shame).

The Amanda Bynes questionable sanity tour of 2013 continued this weekend, as she hit up a casino in Atlantic City (don't mention it to her, she'll deny it), got some shopping done, and possibly tried to attack an onlooker.

Remember that time self-proclaimed "publicist" Jonathan Jaxson claimed that Amanda Bynes was suicidal, so he helped orchestrate an intervention? Now he's claiming she's admitted her whole nutso schtick is just a ploy for attention -- and he's posted the supposed "proof" on his Twitter account.

Miley Cyrus heard the rumors swirling about a possible hook-up with Justin Bieber, and she's none too pleased. So she's apparently taken to calling into radio shows to set the record straight.

Despite not wanting to be seen or paid attention to, Amanda Bynes continues to spend a lot of time trudging around Times Square. And this weekend was no different.

We recognize the irony in doing a Style Breakdown on troubled actress Amanda Bynes -- especially since it appears to everyone (but her) that she's having the most epic of public "I can't deal with fame" mental breakdowns. However, Bynes' look has changed pretty drastically, so we felt compelled to point out what's right -- there actually are some things she does well -- and what's wrong.

When Amanda Bynes first mentioned something about getting a record contract for a rap album, everyone just assumed she was mouthing off as usual. She may as well have said she was starting a boarding house for three-toed sloths. But at least one company has taken her seriously, and is now offering her a deal. To rap about ugly people, we assume.
