Amanda Bynes Scolded and Sent to Her Rubber Room

Meh, the story is old as time. Celebrity DUI and a ramming of a police car turns into a sentence of wet and reckless, which is the L.A. courts version of your parents yelling at you for taking the car in high school. Amanda Bynes was found mentally stable enough to stand trial on careening her Beemer around Hollywood after bar closing a couple years ago and given the pro forma plea deal of probation, alcohol counseling and a fine. Combined with her similar arrangements on bong tossing in New York, Amanda is now scheduled for substance abuse meetings eleven out of the next five days. By the time she’s completed all of her court-ordered education, Amanda will only be four credits shy of her own Chemical Dependency Counseling license. She can start taking on her own patients,behind the dumpster in the Van Nuys alley next to Margot Kidder’s animal-testing free cosmetics company.
