UPDATE: @AmandaBynes Is Crazy

Posted on | November 7, 2014 | 74 Comments

This isn’t necessarily news to anyone who has followed the (literally) insane misadventures of Miss Ultimate Starlet Meltdown:

Amanda Bynes is flat-out admitting it.
She was tired and fell asleep on a couch at her local mall, the Beverly Center.
It’s the latest step in the Amanda Bynes journey. She tweeted that she slept there because she “did not have money” for a hotel. . . .
It’s all part of Bynes’ latest battle over money. She wants control of her finances. Her parents now have conservatorship. She has been tweeting that her lawyer is working to get control of her money back to her.
Access Hollywood reports that conservatorship is soon be divided between Amanda’s mom, Lynn Bynes, and a professional private fiduciary.
Amanda’s conservatorship attorney David Esquibias told Access he will work with the unnamed private trust firm to ensure that the actress’ needs are taken care of more efficiently.
“My goal is to get her permanent adequate housing,” Esquibias said, adding he hopes to have the change made official by the judge in the case as early as Friday.

TMZ has gossip from “sources”:

Sources connected to Amanda tell TMZ … she wants “a normal life,” and she believes working in a bar would achieve that goal.
Amanda says she’s well aware of the obvious impediment — she attracts so much attention it would be hard to function as a bartender.
As for why Amanda is even thinking of getting a job … she desperately needs money. She doesn’t have access to her $5.7 million fortune because of her conservatorship, and only gets between $50 and $100 a day. As for what she wants to do with the money, aside from getting an apartment, she wants plastic surgery because she thinks she’s ugly.

Let your brain process these thoughts: She’s got more than $5 million in the bank, but she only gets $100 a day. She’s sleeping on a sofa in the mall, she’s telling friends she wants to get a job as a bartender and she thinks she’s so ugly she needs plastic surgery. Yet all the liberals who run the cultural industry that warped this poor girl’s mind want to keep telling us there’s a Republican “War on Women”?

Andrew Breitbart always said Hollywood was worse than D.C.

As usual, Andrew was right. Damn, I miss him more each day.

    “Amanda Bynes is Crazy”

    There you go repeating yourself again.

    I’m actually beginning to feel a little sorry for her. Not much, but there is a glimmer.

    oh… never mind. It was just a temporary thing.

    Insane MALE actors get almost $120 a day from their multi-million-dollar fortunes.

    Let me guess: she switched from her independent drug dealer to a drug dealer who has an office and wears a white lab coat.

    Amanda Byrnes is 28 years old. Unless she is subject to a judicial guardianship because she is a potential physical threat to herself or others, she should have control over her finances (even if it is likely she will piss the money away) and be allowed to engage in any lawful employment she wishes. That is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. She might actually surprise you and act rationally if you let her make choices.

    Then again, she has been in Hollywood too long so maybe disregard that last sentence. Still, she is entitled to have the right to try.

    The problem is she’s not just crazy, but insane in the narrow clinical sense of that term.

    Then she should’t be wandering the streets…

    Of course there are thousands like her currently wandering Sunset Strip and West Hollywood.

    It is not Disney per se. It is celebrity at a young age. Unless you are very well grounded and have good parents guiding you, early celebrity is almost always a curse.

    That may be, but it sure seems like every kid who makes it big through working for Disney, seems to go off the rails in young adulthood.

    I have to say that watching the train wreck that is Amanda Bynes is eerily like watching the life of Amy Winehouse, although a few of the details are different. It’s a sorry ass bad deal, and I do have pity for both of them in my shriveled heart. Watching someone destroy themselves, not pleasant. Not a problem that money solves.

    Surely, I’m not the only one who now has to Google “Amanda Bynes” to find out who the hell is being discussed here. But, before I do, can someone maybe tell me why we should care who she is?

    Or a reminder that no matter how bad things get….at least we’re not Amanda Bynes.

    I hear Margot Kidder has room in her box, if Amanda is OK with cats.

    She looks like she could end up competing with that wildenstein chick. Once you start the, “I’m ugly, so I need surgery” game, it never ends well.

  20. K-Bob

    Nope. I had to google her, too. In fact, after I scanned her weakypedia page, and saw all the shows and movies she was in, I realized I’d never heard of any of those, either.

    Aw, c’mon Sarge. I strongly believe that many of these these fool “celebrities” have been mind comtrolled. Their crime is being stupid and naive. But there are others in the industry who have committed much worse crimes.

    Don’t know if you’re a Christian or not, but we may not find out the full truth for a little while yet. But, you know, patience is a virtue.

    At my age (55), I’ve come to believe that money is seldom all it’s cracked up to be. And I’d be truly shocked and surprised if this girl turns out to have any money that hasn’t been stolen by her keepers.

    I think you’re right. I think that, as weird as it sounds, Disney is a source of evil. The Vigilant Citizen at shttp://vigilantcitizen.com/search-results/?cx=partner-pub-1668566888676657%3A7092101051&cof=FORID%3A10&ie=UTF-8&q=Disney&sa=Search&siteurl=vigilantcitizen.com%2F&ref=&ss=1919j752035j6 seems to have a lot of proof in support of a connection.

    For a cow, you are very wise. Adults who are not so insane as to be forcibly committed should be allowed to make their own mistakes, and hopefully learn from them.

    Her “conservators” need to release whatever funds are necessary to get Amanda good psychological help. If she ever gets fixed, then maybe she’ll be able to handle her own money.
    …of course, that would leave less money for the “conservators”…

    Your labors are insufficiently praised, and but scarcely remunerated, yet do not imagine you toil in vain, nor that you have no friends who esteem your value.

    The Wombat Fan Club is a sort of elite group, but we’re here for you.

    I am not defending Disney, it treats its kid stars like factory farm commodities. If they are making money for them, great. If not Disney cuts them loose since there are plenty more to refill the ranks (and you can pay them less than those on the downside of the child celebrity bell curve).
