Amanda Bynes on Arrest: "I'm Suing NYPD" Because "You Can't Lock Up An Innocent Person!"
Amanda Bynes isn't too keen on staying quiet about her recent arrest. The former Nickelodeon child star took to Twitter on Monday, May 27, to tell her side of the story and to inform fans that she's planning on taking legal action against the NYPD for lying, sexually harassing her, and checking her into a mental hospital against her will.
"For once and for all, this is the last thing I'll say about the mistaken arrest," she begins her lengthy Twitter post. "I'm suing NYPD for illegally entering my apartment, lying about drugs on me and lying about me tampering with non existent drug paraphernalia, then I'm suing for being put into a mental hospital against my will, then locked up overnight for coming home after a facial and working out with my trainer like the good girl that I am."
Bynes, 27, then goes on to say that she was "offended" that the police would dare to take her to a mental hospital, and that she is "so proud to not be a drug or alcohol user."
On Thursday, May 23, Bynes was taken into custody and charged with marijuana possession, attempted evidence tampering and reckless endangerment after she was reportedly spotted smoking in the lobby of her New York apartment building. When police officers responded to a call from the building personnel, Bynes invited them into her apartment, which smelled of marijuana and had a bong inside.
According to a spokesperson for the NYPD, Bynes allegedly threw the bong out the window and then "did not resist arrest." The troubled star reportedly argued that it was "just a vase," TMZ reported. The spokesperson told Us that Bynes "did not resist arrest."
Bynes recounted a different series of events, however, tweeting two days later that the reports of her arrest were "all lies."
"I was sexually harassed by one of the cops the night before last which is who then arrested me," she tweeted. "He lied and said I threw a bong out the window when I opened the window for fresh air. Hilarious. He slapped my vagina. Sexual harassment. Big deal. I then called the cops on him. He handcuffed me, which I resisted, quite unlike any of the reports stated. Then I was sent to a mental hospital. Offensive. I kept asking for my lawyer but they wouldn't let me."
On Friday, May 24, Judge Neil Ross warned the Easy A actress that if she doesn't show up to her scheduled court appearance on July 9, he will "set a significant bail." Bynes was then summarily released on her own recognizance.
Bynes' main concerns at the moment aren't about her place in the legal system, however. The actress finished off her long Twitter rant on Monday with a hint at her future endeavors.
"I'm free forever! You can't lock up an innocent person!" she tweeted to her fans. "Thanks for caring@ Look forward to seeing me in music videos! I'm getting in shape and getting a nose job! I'm looking forward to a long and wonderful career as a singer/rapper!"

Angelina Jolie's Aunt Dies of Breast Cancer
Just two weeks after Angelina Jolie revealed she had a preventative double mastectomy to lower her risk of breast cancer, the actress' aunt has passed away after battling the disease.
Jolie's uncle, Ron Martin, confirmed to E! News that his wife, Debbie Martin, died Sunday, May 26. "Angelina has been in touch throughout the week and her brother Jamie has been with us, giving his support day by day," he said.
Debbie was the younger sister of Marcheline Bertrand, Jolie's late mother. Bertrand died in 2007 at the age of 56 after a long battle with ovarian cancer.
Earlier this month, Jolie, 37, revealed she recently had a preventative double mastectomy after learning she carries the BRCA1 breast cancer gene. Brad Pitt's fiancee and mother of six decided to undergo the surgery to minimize her risk. "I can tell my children that they don't need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer," she said in her essay for the New York Times.
Jolie's uncle fully supports her decision.
"We have seen Angelina a number of times since Debbie was diagnosed with breast cancer and Debbie and I were both very proud of her recent decision to have the double mastectomy," he told E! News, "and to do everything she can to keep her family from having to go through what we've been through."

Kim Kardashian Wears Tight Red Dress, Family Goes Horseback Riding in Greece
Kim Kardashian is adding another occupation to her resume: Photographer! Sightseeing via yacht near Mykonos, Greece over the weekend, the pregnant reality star, 32, grabbed a camera to capture the awe-inspiring views. As usual, Kanye West's love did not blend into the scenery -- embracing her pregnancy curves in a tight, sleeveless red dress, matching red lipstick, with her hair in a ponytail. In one photo, the budding shutterbug stood alongside sister Kourtney Kardashian, 34, who opted for a more casual boating outfit in tight white pants and denim shirt, with her hair covered up with a bejeweled headpiece.
The famous sisters arrived in Greece on Thursday with most of their family: Sister Khloe Kardashian, half-siblings Brody, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, parents Bruce and Kris Jenner, Kourtney's love Scott Disick and their kids Mason and Penelope. (The first shot of Kim hanging out on dry land featured a glimpse of her bare baby bump.)
The first-time mom-to-be likely begged out of another Sunday activity: Horseback riding. The rest of the brood, however, were snapped taking in more sights astride horses in the bright sunshine. The brood have been sharing thoughts and photos from the trip via Twitter and Instagram. "Enjoying Greece," Kim tweeted, adding that the views, R&R and family bonding time is "heavenly."
The exotic sojourn is being filmed for upcoming episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Rapper West, 35, isn't on hand for the getaway.

Cheerleader Kelsey Williams Criticized By Female Sports Blogger for Being "Too Chunky": Report
Words will never hurt Kelsey Williams. The NBA Oklahoma City Thunder cheerleader was recently criticized for her weight by CBS Houston blogger Claire Crawford, but she's trying to focus on the positives.
According to the Daily Mail, Crawford came under fire on Wednesday, Apr. 24 after she reportedly asked readers if Williams was "too chunky" to cheer. "[Williams] has been criticized by some folks in [Oklahoma] for having 'pudginess' around her waistline," she allegedly wrote. "Is this chick 'too chunky' to be a cheerleader?"
"But if she's comfortable wearing that tiny outfit and dancing for NBA fans, then good for her," Crawford said. "Besides . . . not every man likes women to be toothpick skinny. I'd say most men prefer a little extra meat on her bones."
Commenters quickly criticized the blogger's post, calling it "offensive" and "disgusting." Many also argued that the image used in the story was simply an unflattering photo. The initial story was quickly removed from CBS Houston's website, but a cached version is still online.
Williams, however, isn't letting the remarks get her down. On Twitter Apr. 24, she wrote, "'To be womanly always, discouraged never.'" She then added, "We wouldn't know what blessings were if we didn't go through trials. Thank you to EVERYONE for the compassion and love today. I'm in awe."

Miley Cyrus: It "Seems Right" to Wear Engagement Ring, Be Committed to Liam Hemsworthv
Miley Cyrus is more traditional than her fans may think. In the June issue of ELLE UK, the 20-year-old singer opens up about why getting engaged to Liam Hemsworth nearly one year ago felt like a natural progression in their relationship.
"We have a house together and dogs. It just seems right to be wearing this ring and to be committed," she says. "But we keep our relationship low-key and don't talk about it any more." (With current reports saying Cyrus has hit a rough patch in her relationship with the Hunger Games actor, 23, the couple of four years has put their wedding a hold, it's unclear when the singer's interview occurred.)
The former Hannah Montana star says she's making a conscious effort to stay out of the spotlight as much as possible. "We were too nice to the world and gave them too much insight -- into my life and my puppies and my house –- and I just don't feel they get that privilege any more," Cyrus explains. "Like on my Twitter, I'm much more . . . not conservative, but you don't see a picture of my dogs. You don't get that personal stuff any more."
The "Can't Be Tamed" singer has the same conservative notion when it comes to her career. "A star is someone who doesn't have to take her clothes off to be sexy because you naturally have star power. Sex does sell, but you have to find a way that's not just showing your tits," she says. "I don't want to be a glorified model. They just walk on stage and it's all about their clothes -- or lack of clothes."
Cyrus also works hard at staying grounded while living in Los Angeles, which she knows is "not reality."
"This isn't like any other place," she acknowledges. "Everything is meant to be attractive, from the people on the sidewalks to the gold fire hydrants in Beverly Hills."
"I feel like Rapunzel," Cyrus says of the fame. "Rapunzel with a mohawk!"
Cyrus' full interview with ELLE UK hits newsstands on May 1.

Jenelle Evans Opens Up After Rehab: I'm "Addicted to Relationships," Not Drugs
Jenelle Evans is back at home after just four days in rehab, but the reality TV star claims that she was getting treated for the wrong thing -- blogging that she's addicted to relationships, not drugs.
Mother to 3-year-old son Jace, the Teen Mom 2 star previously signed off from Twitter on March 2, hinting that she was going to rehab "for you Jace, no one else."
Just four days later, however, the troubled reality star reportedly left the North Carolina rehab facility where she had been set to "address any addiction issues for drug use," her attorney, Dustin R.T. Sullivan, said in a statement.
Now, however, 21-year-old Evans says she ditched out early on her 30 days of rehab because she wasn't getting the help that she needed.
"I simply feel as if I didn't need to go to treatment if my problem isn't drugs anymore, and never will be again," she wrote Friday, March 15, on her Sulia page. "I need individual counseling and therapy if anything for being addicted to relationships. I can honestly admit this about myself and can't seem to help it unless I continue to get the help I need through therapy."
Last Sunday, March 10, Evans posted a photo of herself with little Jace in the backseat, along with the caption: "Just where I wanted to be. Morning sunshine." (Jace's dad is Evans' ex, Andrew Lewis.)
She added that she had originally sought treatment at a facility in Florida, but transferred to North Carolina after the original program turned out to be a "nightmare."
In her blog post, Evans also clarified that she is not currently seeing anyone, despite rumors that she and estranged husband Courtland Rogers have reconciled.
"Maybe instead of voicing what REALLY happened I'll just stay silent because silence is golden," she wrote. "But I will let everyone know that I AM SINGLE and I AM NOT DATING ANYONE. I'm focusing on myself and my son's life, nobody else's."
Earlier this year, Evans filed five assault charges against Rogers, 27. Both Evans and Rogers also accused each other of infidelity -- including his claim that Evans had reconnected with ex-boyfriend Gary Head behind his back.
Evans and Rogers tied the knot in December 2012 after just a few months of dating, but called it off after Evans accused Rogers of cheating on her.

Ryan Seacrest, Julianne Hough Split: "It Just Got to Be Too Much"
Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough have decided to pull the plug on their relationship after more than two years of dating, sources confirm to Us .
And the notoriously busy Hollywood pair, who began dating in 2010, may have their packed schedules to blame.
"Honestly, their schedules were too hectic," a source tells Us. "It just got to be too much. I think they both just sort of knew they couldn't do it anymore. The travel and lifestyle got to be too much. Who knows if this is just for now, but I think this is for good."
In addition to hosting American Idol, Seacrest, 38, is also a radio host for his own show, On Air With Ryan Seacrest, as well as a red carpet host.
His 24-year-old love is similarly busy, promoting her latest flick Safe Haven, opposite Josh Duhamel, out in theaters just last month. She and brother Derek Hough, 27, are also currently collaborating on a Starz scripted drama about ballroom dance, titled Blackpool.
Last month, the former Dancing With the Stars pro dancer revealed that her Valentine's Day plans with Seacrest were going to be last-minute.
"I know there are plans, but I don't know what they are yet," she told Us in February. "I think I might be traveling. I'm not sure where. That's up to my boyfriend!"

Kim Kardashian Resurfaces After Health Scare, Shows Off Baby Bump in Tight Black Minidress
Kim Kardashian's idea of taking it easy may be different from other people's. On Monday, March 11 -- six days after being urged to rest by her doctor -- the pregnant reality star reappeared in L.A. looking healthy, glamorous, and ready to take on the world.
Snapped pumping her own gas, the 32-year-old mom-to-be put her baby bump on full display in a tight black minidress with silver studs. She also wore black open-toed stiletto heels.
The Kourtney & Kim Take Miami star, expecting her first child with boyfriend Kanye West this July, has been laying low in recent days following a minor pregnancy scare on Tuesday, March 5. But a source told Us last week that she's "fine" and just needed a break from her hectic schedule.
"She's been working a lot, and with a divorce and the move and everything else she has going on, she just needs to take a little rest," the pal explained.
Kardashian's younger sister Khloe, 28, also reassured fans that all was well. "A lot of you have expressed concern in the recent hours about Kim," she wrote on her blog. "And I just wanted to let you all know that mommy and baby are doing fine and just taking it easy right now."
Added the mom-to-be herself on March 8: "Thanks for all the well wishes, I'm doing fine! Just resting...have a good weekend. Love you guys!"

Taylor Swift's Unopened Fan Mail Found in Dumpster
Is Taylor Swift "mean" to her millions of adoring fans? The 23-year-old Grammy winner receives countless pieces of fan mail each week from around the world -- but over the weekend, a huge stockpile of said mail was discovered, unopened, laying in a dumpster in Swift's hometown of Nashville, Tenn. Local Kaylee Francescan discovered the motherlode of ignored letters "covered with pictures, hearts and sparkles" while throwing out the trash.
"There were like hundreds of letters in there to Taylor Swift and I'm like, 'Oh my gosh!' I didn't know if they were stolen [or] discarded, so I threw them in a box," Francescan told ABC Nashville station WKRN. "And I'm like, 'Somebody needs to let Taylor know,' It did bother me [because] I know how much her fans mean to her."
The fan mail is typically sent to a P.O. Box at a Nashville strip mall, with a member of the chart-topper's team fetching the mail regularly. Thankfully, it was simply a clerical error, Swift's rep tells Us Weekly.
"A small batch of mail that was supposed to be delivered to Taylor was accidentally put with letters headed for the recycling center," the rep explains.
Indeed, Swift's gratitude towards her fans is well known. "It blows me away how thoughtful and organized they are," Swift has said. "Sometimes they'll give me a scrapbook or a project that was made by hundreds of fans from around the world."

Steven Tyler Calls Taylor Swift "Hot," Says He Wants to "Write a Song With Her"
Taylor Swift, meet your next rock star beau: Steven Tyler! The Aerosmith frontman told Us on March 10 at the John Varvatos 10th Annual Stuart House Benefit in West Hollywood that he thought the "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" singer was "hot."
The former American Idol judge also talked about missing working on the FOX show. "I always wanted to see what the other mountains looked like…. TV is a whole other animal, and it was good. I miss J.Lo a lot and Randy [Jackson] on and off." Three celebrity judges have since replaced Tyler and Jennifer Lopez: Keith Urban and dueling divas Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj.
Tyler served as a judge on the show for Seasons 10 and 11 but decided to leave to return to his first love — music. "It feels good to be back with my band again. It feels really good," he told Us.

Taylor Swift, Harry Styles Breakup: New Details Explained in Vanity Fair
Did Harry Styles have a wandering eye? In the April issue of Vanity Fair, Taylor Swift opens up her most recent breakup with the One Direction boy bander. The 23-year-old country singer and 19-year-old British heartthrob split in early January after a few months of dating.
In the magazine, Swift says she not the "clingy, insane, desperate girlfriend" that she's made out to be. In fact, the "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" singer claims Styles pursued her.
Swift, who only discusses her romances through song, authorized a source to speak on her behalf to Vanity Fair. According to the insider, Styles "wore her down" to get her to finally agree to be his girlfriend. "He was all, like, 'You're amazing -- I want to be with you. I want to do this.'"
The relationship got rocky when Swift saw a picture of Styles "making out" with a friend. She broke things off, but Styles eventually convinced her to take him back. "But the whole time she says she feels like he's looking at every girl," the source says. When they were in London together, the boy band member "disappeared " one evening and "after that it was like he just didn't want to keep going." Styles' rep, however, says the claims are "undeniably false."
Though their relationship didn't exactly end on the best terms, Styles had only nice things to say about his exes' performance at the Brit Awards on Feb. 20. Calling the act "great," Styles told Us Weekly, "She always puts on a good show."
Swift, however, was recently photographed filming a music video her song "22" and appeared to be imitating Styles by dressing like him. The first lyrics of the song, are, in fact, "It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters and make fun of our exes."

Lucy Hale Gets Playful in Sexy Bongo Ad Campaign Shot by Terry Richardson
This Pretty Little Liar isn't quite so little anymore! Lucy Hale, who shot to fame playing Aria on the ABC Family hit, recently worked with notoriously raunchy photographer Terry Richardson for a playful and provocative ad campaign for Bongo.
In the shots, the 23-year-old actress poses with a number of oversized props, including a telephone, a teddy bear, a fishbowl and a hula-hoop. Hale works her doe-eyed look in the photos, dressed in a colorful array of the junior brand's bikini tops, bright jeans and printed dresses while eyeing the camera in a very confident manner.
Richardson has previously worked with such A-list talents as Lady Gaga, Kate Upton, Lindsay Lohan and most recently, Beyonce, for GQ's February cover.
Hale, for her part, has been looking to grow up from her more tween-centric fan base and will be redirecting her career back toward her musical roots, she told Billboard magazine in an interview.
"[The album] is something I wanted to do way before Pretty Little Liars or anything," she told the magazine. Hale recently signed with Hollywood Records to produce a country album later this year. "I grew up singing, and acting sort of came up along the way. ... [Recording] is a lot of weekends, it's a lot of long nights but I'm so passionate about it ... I'm just really excited."
But though Hale was among the winners in 2003's American Juniors, a short-lived spinoff of American Idol, the Memphis-born actress still admits that she has her occasional doubts.
"It's absolutely terrifying," she told Nylon magazine's December/January issue. "You only get one album. You only get one single. You get one shot in music. But I have a million different dreams. Why can't I go out and try to achieve them all? Who are you to say I can't?"
