The last we heard of troubled retired millionaire Amanda Bynes, she was deemed unfit to stand trial during her own DUI case last week. Now news is coming in that she's been moved from a UCLA treatment center to a Malibu rehab center. Albeit several weeks ago.
Moving on up?
Amanda Bynes has had so many issues lately that it's hard to remember where her mental problems end and her legal troubles begin. The erstwhile Nickelodeon starlet is still dealing with a DUI case from April 2012, and her lawyer, Rich Hutton, has deemed her unfit to stand trial.
Amanda Bynes is finally getting the help she needs, and a judge wants to make sure she keeps getting it -- so the troubled actress could spend the next year locked up in a mental health facility.
Knowing that, it probably won't surprise you that a tweet that went out Saturday from her long-dormant Twitter account wasn't posted by Amanda herself.
Amanda Bynes is currently under a 5150 hold to deal with mental health issues likely to be schizophrenia, but before she was hospitalized, she was supposedly dealing with something else: hiding her possible bisexuality.
Sources say that the former Nickelodeon starlet was struggling to hide her relationships with women before she was taken in for treatment.
After being placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold for 72 hours and having that extended for another two weeks, doctors have now added another 30 days to Amanda Bynes' hospital stay, placing her under an emergency conservatorship.
After months of Amanda Bynes obsessing over Drake -- calling him ugly or gorgeous, depending on the day, saying he has down syndrome eyes and asking him to murder her vagina -- the rapper finally had something to say about it.
Amanda Bynes' mother Lynn is preparing for court with her troubled daughter on Friday (August 9), and she's asked the judge overseeing her bid for a conservatorship of the 27-year-old for a closed courtroom. Which is fun for absolutely no one.
Good news for Amanda Bynes: The troubled starlet's psych hold is the best thing that's happened to her in a while, because the 24/7 monitoring and pill cocktails by her doctors have (knock on wood) gradually returned her to normal. But as usual, there's a bit of a catch.
Amanda Bynes' parents went to court today, trying to prove to a judge that their daughter was a danger to herself and others and should therefore be placed under a conservatorship.
But alas, their request was denied. At least for the time being.
Amanda Bynes' 72-hour 5150 psychiatric hold just got extended by another two weeks, allowing her parents (and probably her poor pooch) to breathe a sigh of relief.
One person who may not be stoked? Osama 'Sam' Lutfi, the same creep who preyed on Britney Spears during her breakdown.
Amanda Bynes may currently be on a 5150 psychiatric hold so doctors can figure out just what's going on in her brain, but the good news is she won't face criminal charges for lighting a stranger's driveway on fire.
Hey, even small victories count.
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
