Amanda Bynes has been released from police custody.
The She's The Man star appeared in court in New York City on Friday morning, where she was formally charged with attempted evidence tampering, reckless endangerment and marijuana possession. The troubled starlet was booked for drug possession on Thursday evening when police visited her apartment after receiving a report of a disorderly person.
During the hearing, the 27-year-old actress denied throwing a bong out the window in front of arresting officers, and also accused them of "roughing her up." She claimed she was "improperly arrested" because the object she threw was "just a vase," according to gossip website TMZ.com. An arresting officer is quoted as saying in the criminal complaint, "I observed [Amanda] grab said bong, run to the westbound-facing window, and throw it out the window where numerous pedestrians were walking on the 8 Avenue and West 47 Street sidewalks below."
The judge waived bail but warned the actress that an arrest warrant would be issued if she misses her court date in July.

Amanda Bynes Still Claims She’s Going to Sue Tabloids
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Television, Drugs, Rants, Photos,
All bark and no bite? Amanda Bynes recently claimed (again) that she's going to sue InTouch for publishing a false story which features supposed photos of her in a New York apartment surrounded by drugs.
Naturally, the actress went to Twitter to spew her disapproval: "I have to sue because that's not my apartment, those aren't my clothes!... [The magazine] morphed photos of my face onto someone's body to ruin my life!... I don't care enough to keep talking about it. Just assume that I f--ked the boyfriend of the editor of intouch because they f--king hate me!"
An older photo of Bynes appears on the cover of the magazine, which the former Nickelodeon star also didn't appreciate, as she's since undergone plastic surgery to amend her (supposed) facial imperfections: "I have to make a big deal of this and sue because that's not me! I care about my appearance so I have to defend myself! I look like a different person now that I had surgery."
InTouch has yet to comment about the alleged libel.

Wade Robson Wants More MJ Accusers to Come Forward
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Wade Robson hopes his allegations against Michael Jackson will encourage other "victims" to come forward.
The choreographer filed legal documents on May 1 asking for money from the Michael Jackson Estate in compensation for childhood molestation at the hands of the late pop star - who died of acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009 - and says he wants to inspire others to speak out.
"I want to inspire other people to speak their truth. If my coming forward and speaking the truth can help, honestly, one [person] to gain courage to speak their truth and begin the healing process then that would really be more than I could ask," he told TMZ.
Speaking earlier this week, Wade said he "was scared psychologically and emotionally completely unable and unwilling to understand that it was sexual abuse. This is not a case of repressed memory. I never forgot one moment of what Michael did to me. He performed sexual acts on me and I performed sexual acts on him. It was complete manipulation and brainwashing. He would role-play and train me for these scenarios. There is no excuse for what he did to me, but he was a troubled man...The image that one presents to the world is not the whole explanation of who someone is. Michael Jackson was yes, an incredibly talented artist with an incredible gift. He was many things. And he was also a child sexual abuser."

Holly Madison’s Fiance Facing Jail?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Holly Madison's fiance is reportedly facing more than 13 years in prison. The former The Girls Next Door star's partner Pasquale Rotella, who is the father of her two-month-old baby girl Rainbow Aurora, attended a pre-trial hearing in Los Angeles on Monday for a number of serious charges including bribery, embezzlement, conspiracy and conflict of interest.
According to gossip website RadarOnline.com the LA County District Attorney alleges that the owner of Insomniac events used more than $2.5 million in funds from the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to pay off city officials so he could host raves in the venue.
Pasquale - who was indicted with five other males - posted a $1.8 million bail and is due back in court on July 29. If convicted the father-of-one, who is due to marry Holly, 33, on August 14, could serve almost 14 years behind bars. But his lawyer Gary Jay Kaufman previously said he is confident that his client will be found innocent, calling the charges "politically motivated and publicity driven."

Michael Jackson Accused of Abuse
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Michael Jackson has been posthumously accused of sexual abuse.
Choreographer Wade Robson filed legal documents on May 1 asking for money from the Michael Jackson Estate in compensation for childhood molestation at the hands of the late pop star - who died of acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009 - TMZ reports.
The deadline has passed for creditors to file claims against the estate, but Wade is asking the probate court to allow him to file a late creditor's claim. The complaint has been made under seal, meaning it is not available to the public, but it is said to specifically outline the alleged abuse and contains an affidavit from Dr. David Arrendondo, a San Francisco-based child psychiatrist.

Lamar Odom Accused of Charity Fraud

Lamar Odom has been accused of failing to donate money raised through his charity to cancer research.
The LA Clippers star - who has been married to reality TV star and X Factor host Khloe Kardashian for three years - is facing allegations that none of the money raised through his foundation Cathy's Kids, which was named after his late mother who died from cancer when he was 12, has been donated to help fight cancer.
According to official records, obtained by ESPN's Outside the Lines, there is no evidence that any of the $2.2 million raised through Lamar's organization, which was set up with the intention of raising money for underprivileged kids in New York and LA and for cancer research, went to a cancer charity. But the basketball star's tax records show that $1.3 million of the total amount was used to fund two "elite" basketball teams for young people, who reportedly were good enough to already be on the radar of colleges for scholarships and other financial help. There is allegedly no evidence of where the remaining $900,000 went.

Lindsay Lohan’s Lawyer a Liar?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues,
Lindsay Lohan's lawyer has been branded a liar after claiming she suffered a concussion from her car accident last June.
The 26-year-old troubled starlet - who is set to go on trial on March 18 for violating her probation after allegedly lying to police about driving her Porsche when she crashed on the Pacific Coast Highway last summer - was in no state to be questioned by police at the time because she had a head injury, according to her New York attorney Mark Heller, who was labelled ''incompetent'' by Judge James Dabney yesterday.
But law enforcement officials told gossip website RadarOnline.com, "The doctors who treated Lindsay on the day of her car accident last summer didn't diagnose her with a concussion. She suffered no injury to her head whatsoever. She did have bruised ribs, and she was very sore, but that was her only significant injury. Lindsay had a CT scan of her head, neck, and spine and there was no injury. Not only that, but Lindsay went back to work after leaving the hospital. For Mark Heller to claim that Lindsay had a concussion is an absolute and blatant lie. When she was questioned by cops at the emergency room, she wasn't denied any medical attention because of them."

Travis Barker Wrongly Accused of Being in a Gang Because of His Tattoos
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Legal Issues,
Travis Barker believes that his tattoos make police suspicious of him.
The Blink-182 drummer claims he has been unfairly "profiled" twice by the Los Angeles Police Department who immediately presumed him to be a drug-dealer and a member of a violent gang because of his extensive body art.
A spokesperson for the 39-year-old rocker told gossip website TMZ that he was pulled over by police while he was on his way to pick up his daughter in his customized Chevy in LA last Wednesday for not having a front license plate. The spokesperson said upon seeing Travis's tattoos the police officer "accused him of having drugs and weapons in the car" before suggesting he was a member of a gang.
His car was then searched and the father-of-three was free to leave the scene with a ticket and a warning to replace his license plate. According to Travis, this is the second time in a year that he was incorrectly accused of being part of a gang and carrying drugs because of his appearance.
Taryn Manning Arrested for Assault
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Television, Legal Issues,
First the Lohans, now this -- there must be in New York City's drinking water.
Singer-actress Taryn Manning was arrested and charged Thursday morning for a fight with her makeup artist and longtime friend, Holly Hartman. Manning allegedly punched and kicked Hartman in the early Thursday hours at the Dream Downtown Hotel in the city's Chelsea neighborhood.
Manning's lawyer, Joe Tacopina, played down the altercation, calling it a "minor physical incident." Tacopina told People, "They'd been together every waking minute and they got on each other's nerves and had a little incident. It was a minor physical incident." He also added that Hartman won't be pressing charges.
Manning was released on bail yesterday, leaving the District Attorney to decide whether or not to drop the charges.

Lindsay Lohan wants police to reopen their investigation into the man she claims attacked her.
The Liz & Dick actress filed a report claiming she was choked and thrown to the floor by Christian LaBella after she confronted him for taking pictures of her in a New York City hotel room at the weekend but after police decided to drop all charges, Lindsay revealed she is furious and "in shock."
"He isn't going to get away with this. I'm in shock and it was a really scary situation," she told The New York Post's Page Six.
However, Christian's uncle Peter Jessop insists his nephew is innocent and blasted Lindsay's mother Dina Lohan for her remarks about the incident: "He doesn't deserve this. It's amazing that her mom said, 'Thank God he didn't have a weapon' -- of course he didn't have a weapon. He's a good kid, he's worked for two congressmen. He just went to New York for the weekend. Hopefully this doesn't cost him his job. He is in shock about how the media has twisted this story."
