Grown Up Gossip & Internet Villainy
One of my favorite comebacks of 2018 was Amanda Bynes. She recently did the cover of Paper Magazine, which was huge for her, given everything she’s been through with her mental health and drug addiction.
However, before her Paper Magazine interview she did an interview with Hollyscoop to clarify some of her 2013 trainwreck tweets, and ended up giving me my favorite celebrity quote of 2018.
Amanda Bynes was a child star with a great career in the late 90’s and early 2000s. From having her own show, The Amanda Show to co-starring in two big sitcoms, All That and What I Like About You , Amanda seemed destined for canned laugh track greatness.
But that was not the case. Bynes acted in a handful of movies including: Hairspray, What A Girl Wants, and Easy A before exhibiting erratic public behavior, which includes getting in trouble with the law a few times before being hospitalized for a rumored schizophrenic episode.
Hey! Looks who’s back! And just in time for Kanye West’s epic Twitter meltdown! Even though I’m sure you’re all super curious as to what I’ve been up to, I’d like to focus this blog on the man of the hour: Yeezy. Remember when Amanda Bynes went all crazy and ended up being legit mentally ill? And how at the beginning of that she posted some insane stuff on Twitter? Yeah, that’s basically Kanye now.
Between taking credit for Wiz Khalifa’s kid, claiming Bill Cosby’s innocence, and begging Mark Zuckerberg for a billion dollars, Kanye is like one tweet away from asking Drake to murder his vagina (remember when Amanda Bynes did that?! But we can actually feel bad for Amanda Bynes…)
I take full responsibility for being one of the many people who laughed at Amanda Bynes turn into a trainwreck a couple years back.? I mean, how could you not find some amusement at her terrible wigs,? Twitter shade, DUI, and hot mess outfits?
But now it’s gone from a situation that warrants some giggles, to one that just is sad.? Girlfriend needs some serious help, and it’s looking like no one is stepping up to give it to her.
Oh man, after?the craziness that was 2013 Amanda Bynes, 2014 Amanda Bynes was looking golden.? She completed rehab, she was on medication to keep her sane, she was attending school,?and?her parents were helping steer her in the right direction. ?
But with the end of her conservatorship earlier this month has also come the end of Non-BSC Amanda.? Take note Spears family, this is what happens when you let?rich crazy?people make all their own decisions again.
Often times in Hollywood, once someone hits rock bottom, it’s not often you see them make any sort of come back. I mean, I’ve been praying for almost 10 years for Lindsay Lohan to get her shit together and I’m pretty sure God is really over rolling his eyes at me.
However, sometimes people who are mega hot messes turn it around and get their shit together and seemingly keep it together (so Charlie Sheen won’t be on this list. That man flip flops more than a mermaid on the beach..terrible analogy, but I’m tired). Here are 10 celebs that were once wild and tragic, but pulled it together and went on to be successful at life.
Originally set to be tried by Judge Judy, Amanda Bynes’ drunk driving case is being moved to the mental health court, either because she is actually too nuts to “understand the nature of the legal proceedings” or has been pretending to be nuts well enough for her lawyer to use it as her defense.
I don’t know if I buy it though. She seems more dumb than crazy (who throws a vase out a 36th floor window?), so maybe she’s just been putting on a show at the behest of her lawyer, whose line of thinking is probably, “No one will believe any one person can be stupid! We’ll play the crazy card.”
Another day, another story of Amanda Bynes casually trying build an explosive device on an old lady’s driveway. Does this girl ever take a break?
Well, the 5150 hold that she was placed under might go some way to helping her kick back and take a few days off from ‘pulling a Britney’. Although to Amanda’s credit, Britney never played around with matches in some stranger’s driveway. Bonus points for creativity, Amanda.
Another day, another victim to add to Amanda Bynes’ increasingly less exclusive ‘ugly’ club. Former *NSYNC member Lance Bass questioned Amanda’s mental health and she was quick to unleash her wrath.
Considering the fact that half of twitter verse has made it their sole ambition to get a response from Bynes, I reckon fame whore Lance Bass is actually in hipster heaven right about now.
…But sadly not for long. Amanda Bynes, everyone’s favourite unhinged child star was arrested and sent for psychiatric evaluation last night for smoking a big ol’ joint and throwing a bong out of a window.
Amanda was reportedly sat in the lobby of her Manhattan apartment building, smoking a blunt and talking to herself – a standard Thursday night for her, then – when the building official called the police. I don’t know about you, but if I received a call telling me that someone from a 90’s Nickelodeon show was sat in the lobby wearing a platinum blonde wig and blazing it up, I’d probably assume they were the ones that were high.
