Amanda Bynes has been released from rehab.
The 27-year-old actress was placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold in July, but she has now completed her inpatient treatment and is recovering at her parents' home in Los Angeles. Amanda's mother's lawyer, Tamar Arminak, released a statement saying, "Amanda has completed her inpatient rehabilitation and she's feeling better every day."
The Easy A star spent two months at UCLA Medical Center in California, where she was allegedly diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, after she struck up a small fire in the driveway of a stranger's home in Thousand Oaks, Los Angeles. Amanda was then moved to the Canyon treatment facility in Malibu at the end of September, where she continued to make improvements, and she is now looking into joining a college.
"She's now looking at various colleges with the intention of majoring in fashion design. She's mentioned before she's interested in creating a clothing line," Tamar added.

Amanda Bynes’ Parents Face Legal Control Issues
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Legal Issues, Meltdowns,
Amanda Bynes' parents are struggling to gain guardianship of her.
Rick and Lynn Bynes reportedly want to take legal control of the troubled actress' finances and personal needs, but after her recent move to New York City, face extra hurdles. Under New York Law, the 27-year-old star - who was charged with attempted evidence tampering, reckless endangerment and marijuana possession in court last Friday - could appoint her close friends to decide if she needs her parents to take control.
"Amanda's parents have been told it's much harder for them to get guardianship of their adult daughter in New York than if they were to have the proceedings take place in California. Under New York law, Amanda could have the option of having a jury of her peers decide if she was in need of having her parents take control of her life. In the California courts, a judge signs off on the conservatorship. The thought of having a public jury trial to determine if Amanda is unable to take care of herself - and the media firestorm that would ensue - gives her parents cause for concern," a source said.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Drugs, Legal Issues, Meltdowns, Rumors,
Amanda Bynes' parents are trying to get her placed under a conservatorship.
The She's The Man actress has worried her parents Rick and Lynn so much with her bizarre recent antics that they visited several lawyers in a bid to sign over all legal, medical and financial control of her affairs to an external party. The troubled star was booked for drug possession on Thursday evening when police visited her New York City apartment after receiving a report of a disorderly person. Amanda - who was spotted smoking a joint in the lobby and behaved erratically throughout the incident - was taken to hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, before being arrested for criminal possession of marijuana, as well as reckless endangerment and felony tampering with evidence when she attempted to throw a bong out of the window.

Lindsay Lohan’s Father Seeking a Conservatorship

Lindsay Lohan's father is seeking a conservatorship for her.
Michael Lohan is convinced his daughter has resumed abusing drink and drugs and after trying to stage an intervention on Friday he is trying to go through the courts to get a conservator appointed to look after Lindsay.
Michael claims his daughter is hanging out with the wrong people, including her mother, Dina Lohan. He is not requesting he be made conservator - an appointed person who has legal control over the subject - as he doesn't want to be in control of Lindsay's finances, so people can accuse him of going after her money. According to website TMZ, Michael wants a judge to decide who to appoint conservator, but he says he will not accept Dina.
Michael has told his lawyer the first thing he plans once there is a conservatorship in place is to convince them to send Lindsay to rehab. He claims every time Lindsay has been to rehab "she went in dirty and didn't come out clean."

Britney Spears is reportedly having her phone and internet use restricted.
The X Factor judge - who has been under the conservatorship of her father Jamie for more than four years - is being protected by her family and fiance Jason Trawick from seeing any negative stories about her, so they don't allow her to access any gossip websites. They are also restricting her phone use so her old manager Sam Lutfi can't get in touch with her.
"Britney's cell phone and internet use is restricted and heavily monitored, and this is done for her protection. Britney's father Jamie and her fiance Jason want to make sure that her former manager, Sam Lutfi, isn't able to contact her. Britney and Jason essentially share a cell phone, and it's routinely checked to see who has been calling. Furthermore, the cell phones have been programmed to block calls from phone numbers associated with Lutfi. Britney's computer usage is also restricted in the sense that certain websites are blocked. Her family doesn't want Britney reading negative stories that would upset her. Again, this is all done with love and for her well-being," an insider said.

Britney Spears Ready For Conservatorship to End?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Legal Issues, Rumors,
The X Factor judge is reportedly ready for her father Jamie Spears' conservatorship over her - meaning he is in charge of her personal and professional affairs - to come to an end after just over four years as she is now in a much better place in her life than she was when the ruling was initially put in place.
"Britney very much wants the conservatorship to end, she doesn't understand why it has gone on this long. Britney is now a judge on a national hit television show, which will be live when it airs this fall. Britney feels she is ready to regain control of her life now. Britney's dad, Jamie, has conservatorship of her personally and professionally, and this has been going on now for almost four-and-half years," a source said.
However, the singer's doctors are said to not support her bid to have the conservatorship come to an end. "Britney's doctors just don't feel she is ready for the conservatorship to end though, as she has a very complicated mental health diagnosis," the source added.
Jason Trawick to Be Britney’s Co-Conservator
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Legal Issues, Rumors,
One would think that getting married would exemplify one's independence, right? Not in the case of Britney Spears, apparently.
Rumors circulated last month that the soon-to-be bride of Jason Trawick was seeking to end her father's conservatorship over her legal affairs; however, it looks like that won't be happening anytime soon, despite her impending marriage. Instead, her father is asking a court to add her future husband as a co-conservator.
While Jamie Spears will still handle the pop star's finances, a source says that Jason will only have shared legal control of her well being -- this includes making decisions over a person's food, clothing, and medical care. Another source, however, says that the conservatorship is simply a formality.
Jamie has had legal control of his daughter's fortune since her psychological breakdown in 2008.
