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' 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.

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 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 seems to be lashing out at anyone and everyone on Twitter these days. Pop stars (especially trending ones) are certainly not safe. She most recently set her sites on Miley Cyrus, who she called "ugly" in a tweet (that has since been deleted) on Wednesday.

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

If you grew up in the '90s, chances are you watched a ton of Nickelodeon original programming. But just like you, your favorite Nick stars grew up -- so let's see what they're up to these days.

Amanda Bynes has been getting a lot of heat recently for what she's been saying on Twitter -- specifically using gay epithets and talking about "ugly" black people. But now she's found a kindred spirit who shares her exact feelings. Just kidding. It's still her.

Could "Ask Ashley" be making a comeback?

Amanda Bynes continued her long, snowballing descent into the comfortable walls of a padded cell this weekend, talking about plastic surgeries and picking all sorts of fights.

Even though many people think Amanda Bynes has gone off the rails in the past few months, she still claims she hasn't -- which makes us wonder what kind of "normal Amanda Bynes" behavior we've been missing out on all these years.
