On Thursday, actress Amanda Bynes was seen out and about at the Santa Anita Mall in Southern California after her recent choice to discontinue her podcast, Amanda Bynes & Paul Sieminski: The Podcast.
Bynes, a former Disney Channel child star, revealed a new look when she debuted a buzzcut with long, mullet-style blonde extensions. She attracted the attention of the paparazzi as she took a vape break before she went to an auto body shop. Later, she was accompanied by an unidentified man and enjoyed a test drive.
In a statement posted to her Instagram story earlier in the week, she announced her decision, “The 1st episode of my podcast did really well. I was actually surprised and of course was going to keep going after friends encouraged me to.. After thinking about it, though, I would rather get my manicurist license and have a consistent job. I’m going to follow that path instead.

Actress Amanda Bynes has left the mental health facility almost two weeks after she was admitted there, but has worked with her team to put a plan in place to keep her healthy, reports ‘Female First UK’. She’ll start outpatient care and will have a medical professional checking in daily, while Amanda will also be monitored to ensure she is taking her medication.
As per TMZ, Amanda was placed on a “5150 hold” for the second time this year after apparently calling police for help, last month.
The actress was previously placed on a psychiatric hold in March after she was seen walking around naked in Los Angeles.
An eyewitness told TMZ she flagged down a car and told the driver that she was coming down from a psychiatric episode before calling police.

Actress Amanda Bynes’ psychiatric hold will be extended beyond the mandatory 72-hour period. The troubled actress – who was released from a psychiatric hospital in April – was intercepted by Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers recently, reports ‘Female First UK’.
The officers intercepted her after they responded to a call about a woman in distress, as per TMZ.
The 37-year-old star was taken to a police station where a medical unit was waiting to assess her and determine if she needed further treatment.
As per ‘Female First UK’, now, sources have said that her family is “concerned” for the star as mental health professionals try and get her stabilised on medication and that she could be facing a week in their safe hands.
Amanda was released from a conservatorship in March, 2022 after almost nine years, so her mother Lynn is no longer responsible for making sure her daughter takes her medication.

Amanda Bynes has been placed on a 5150 hold for the second time this year.
The former child star, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, reportedly called the police on herself on Saturday morning and was then placed on a 5150 hold after medical staff regarded her as a “danger to herself and others.”
A 5150 hold is when a person is taken to a psychiatric facility for 72 hours for mental evaluation and treatment.
This is the first time the What A Girl Wants star has been seen since her first psychiatric hold two months ago, in which she stayed for three weeks. Before she was placed in the facility, she was seen walking the streets of Los Angeles in the nude for four days.

Middletown businessman to wed The Young And The Restless star (after accidentally emailing her a picture of the engagement ring)
Stephen L. Hightower II, vice president of Hightowers Petroleum, a company based in Middletown, recently purchased an engagement ring for actress Julia Pace Mitchell, who stars as Sofia Dupre on Y&R. Hightower showed off the ring to his brother and sister who work at the company, and he wanted to do the same to his other sister, Sabrina, who resides in Atlanta. So he took a picture of the ring, and sent an email.
To his girlfriend.
“I had Julia on my mind,” he said with a laugh.
As soon as he hit the “send” button, he realized he had “goofed up,” he said. He made the short drive from his office to his Middletown apartment, where his girlfriend was staying. He hoped she was in the shower and hadn’t read the email.
