Amanda Bynes will be allowed out of rehab twice a week.
The 27-year-old actress was placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold in July after her wild behavior led to her allegedly being diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, but she appears to be on the road to recovery as she will be given a pass for supervised outings every week.
"Amanda is being given two passes a week to go the beach, or out to eat and do things like that, accompanied by a professional handler. She is making great progress," a source told FOX411.
The Easy A star was moved to The Canyon treatment facility in Malibu at the end of September after spending two months at UCLA Medical Center and has reportedly been told she will "lead a long, normal life" as long as she continues to take her medication. Amanda's mother Lynn was granted a temporary conservatorship over her daughter in August, shortly after she was taken to a psychiatric unit by police officers, who arrested her after she struck up a small fire in the driveway of a stranger's home in Thousand Oaks, Los Angeles. Amanda's parents released a statement about her progress two months ago and said they were upbeat about her recovery.

Robert Pattinson has been urged to quit his womanizing ways.
The Twilight hunk's managerial team have warned him to calm down his partying antics and focus on his career as they fear he could risk tarnishing his successful name if he doesn't put a stop to his troublesome behavior.
"Rob's team felt he needed a wake up call [and] that now is the time to get extremely serious about his career, even if that means quitting the womanizing and music making that have defined his life in Los Angeles so far. They really don't want him throwing this opportunity down the toilet," a source told RadarOnline.
The 27-year-old actor shot to fame in 2008 after landing the role of Edward Cullen in the romantic fantasy film, but his team are worried he'll sign up to a movie at the end of this year that won't be as successful, and could play havoc with his future career. "Rob has to pick his next movie before the end of the year, and frankly, everyone is worried he's going to screw this up. There's this very strong sense from his team that he needs to find a serious movie, like Brad [Pitt] did with Seven that pulls him out of the cheesecake territory. He can't screw this up!" the source explained.

Katie Holmes has reportedly enjoyed a string of dates with George Clooney.
The 34-year-old actress - whose recent romance with her Mania Days co-star Luke Kirkby is said to have "fizzled out" - was a guest at the hunky actor's Gravity premiere in New York earlier this month and came after the pair enjoyed several intimate dinners after bonding at a friend's recent dinner party.
"Katie and George have known each other for years. They met through her ex-husband Tom Cruise and have always got on. Katie has had a crush on him for ages. They're both single and have met up a couple of times since the dinner party. Katie really has her sights set on him. There is a genuine connection," a source said.
However, insiders insist that the romance isn't serious: "Katie and George are having a lot of fun. They are enjoying their new flirtation. He's a fun guy with buckets of charisma and Katie loves his company."

Lea Michele Reaches Out to Zac Efron
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Drugs, Rumors,
Lea Michele has offered her support to Zac Efron following his recent rehab stint.
The Glee actress - whose boyfriend Cory Monteith died from a heroin and alcohol overdose in July - has reached out to her New Year's Eve co-star following revelations he has been battling cocaine addiction and has vowed to do her best to help him stay sober. "Lea called Zac and told him, 'I'm here if you need me.' She urged him to get serious about having a 24-hour sobriety coach and to only spend time with people who care about his welfare. Lea must feel sad that she wasn't able to prevent Cory from relapsing. She knows Zac well and would hate to see him go down the same path," a source said.
Zac was delighted to hear from his friend and has promised to stay in regular contact with her. "Zac was really glad to hear from her. They have plans to go on a yoga outing together in LA later this year and he promised to discuss his state of mind with her weekly by phone or email," the source added.

Idris Elba: Fame Has Ruined My Love Life
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Dating, Features,
Idris Elba claims fame has ruined his love life.
The Pacific Rim actor - who has 11-year-old daughter, Isan, with his ex-wife Dormowa Sherman - admits the only women who approach him nowadays are autograph-hunters, and he misses the days before he was famous when he was more accessible to females.
"Look, you probably think I'm s***ging all the time. But there's no way. They're all my fans. I miss the days when me and my boys could go to a barbecue, and go, 'Who's that shorty [girl] over there?'"
Despite insisting fame has disrupted his ability to get close to women, the 41-year-old star is thankful for his "great career" but wouldn't mind if he never worked again should his upcoming film Long Walk to Freedom - in which he plays former South African President Nelson Mandela - be classed as a flop: "People are going to judge me for this role. I don't look like Mandela, some say I don't deserve it. Whatever. For me, it's important I am who I am, as I present this piece to the world. I'm 40 and I've had a great career. I'm alright to be myself at this point. Look, if I never work again, I don't care. I did my bit, you know?"

Looper star Emily Blunt is pregnant. The 30-year-old actress and her husband John Krasinski are expecting their first child together and are delighted to be becoming parents.
A representative for the British beauty has confirmed the news to Us Weekly magazine and Emily is due to give birth in a few months.
The couple got married in July 2010 in Como, Italy, and have been together since November 2008.
It seems having a baby has been on Emily's mind for some time. Last year, The Wolfman star revealed she and John, 33, had been discussing starting a family. "We want to have children, I just don't know when yet. I'm just not sure about the timing of all of that. We're both from big families, so I think it's something we want," she said in an interview.

Natalie Portman plans to become a French citizen.
The actress is hoping to legally adopt the same nationality as her husband, choreographer Benjamin Millepied, and would even consider changing the spelling of her name to be welcomed across the Atlantic.
"I don't have the French nationality, but I would be love to get it. But I don't know if it's possible because I already have an American and an Israeli passport ... Perhaps I should add an 'h' to my name to make it sound more French [Nathalie]? My father named me after a song by Gilbert Becaud. I grew up in a very Francophile atmosphere," she said.
The couple and their two-year-old son Aleph are planning to move to Paris next year and have already begun house-hunting for the perfect pad in the French capital. "We're looking for an apartment! Benjamin and I are moving in autumn 2014 when his job at the Paris Opera Ballet starts. It's obviously a massive change to quit Los Angeles for Paris. I don't know what my life is going to be like, but I'm so excited," she confirmed.

Chris Hemsworth has cheated death while surfing.
The 30-year-old actor is an avid surfer and he has had near-fatal accidents a number of times, leaving him under water struggling to breath. Speaking to GQ, he said, "I've surfed a couple of times where I've been pinned under a reef and I'm right at the end of my breath, and there's nothing else you want to see more than the surface."
Chris has been riding waves since he was young, while he's never come face-to-face with a shark, he's certain there have been some "around" while he's been on his board. "I've surfed most of my life and without a doubt there's been sharks in the water when I've been there. I've never seen a shark, but there's no doubt there would've been one around," he added.
Despite his high-risk hobbies, it's in everyday life the Rush star finds himself think about his mortality - and he was sure to take care while he was behind the wheel taking the lead role as Formula 1 star James Hunt in the new biopic. "It's the near misses that you don't see when you're walking down the street, then later you think, 'S**t, that bus was two inches away from hitting me.' There were moments when driving on the track where you think, 'I better pull back here,' because you think of how things could end up," he explained.

Charlie Sheen is reportedly "heartsick" at suggestions Brooke Mueller may be granted custody of their sons.
The Anger Management star and the 35-year-old socialite have four-year-old twins Bob and Max from their marriage together - which ended in divorce over two years ago - and he is said to be worried for their safety if they are put under her care.
Brooke temporarily lost custody of her sons after she was placed on involuntary psychiatric hold following a drug overdose in May, and Charlie's second wife Denise Richards has been granted custody of until the end of the year, if his third wife can prove she can stay sober for their sake - but reports claim Charlie thinks her problems will prove too much to overcome.
"[The twins] are so happy with Denise and Charlie is absolutely heartsick that Brooke is on track to get the boys back ... What are the odds she is going to stay sober? It's just not safe for the boys to be in her care. Does something tragic have to happen in order for a judge to strip Mueller of her parental rights?" an insider said.
