Amanda Bynes' mother has been praised for helping her to turn her life around.

Lynn Bynes became The Easy A actress's temporary conservator, giving her control of the star's personal and financial affairs, last July just days after Amanda, who was discharged from treatment for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in December, was sectioned for her erratic behavior when she set a fire in a neighbor's driveway in Thousand Oaks, California.

And the judge overseeing Lynn's conservator duties in Oxnard credited her for Amanda's amazing progress in court on Tuesday, according to TMZ.com, saying, "Good job, Mrs. Bynes. Well done."

A source recently revealed that Amanda's parents are thrilled that her life is more stable but don't think she is ready to move out of their home just yet, even though she is eager to get her own place.

Demi Lovato Praises Ke$ha for Rehab Decision

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Features,

Demi Lovato has praised Ke$ha for seeking help in rehab.

The "Heart Attack" hitmaker - who sought professional help herself back in 2010 for personal issues - is proud of the 26-year-old singer for admitting she was battling with an eating disorder and she is adamant that she'll overcome her troubles.

"I wish her the absolute best and I think she is doing a really great thing for herself. It's really great when you take time out of a schedule that everybody wants you. There are so many things, you work so hard and then you kind of forget about yourself, and you don't really get to treat the things that everyone has like stress. You just kind of throw yourself into work. When I took that experience, I needed it to live. It taught me a lot and it helped me a ton. I wish her the absolute best. She's a really sweet girl and she's going to be fine," she said, speaking to reporters backstage at the Grammy Awards last week.

President Barack Obama is a Fan of Anne Hathaway

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies,

President Barack Obama thinks Anne Hathaway "was the best thing" in The Dark Knight Rises.

He spoke about the film during a campaign fundraiser at producer Harvey Weinstein's Connecticut home on Monday. The political leader said that Anne was "spectacular" in the film.

"I got a chance to see Batman, and she was the best thing in it. That's just my personal opinion," he said.

Anne, who laughed at Obama's flattery, was in attendance as one of the evening's co-hosts, along with Joanne Woodward, Aaron Sorkin and Weinstein. Also at the $35,800-per-plate dinner was Jerry Springer and American Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.

James Franco Praises Kristen Stewart

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Child Stars,

James Franco has praised Kristen Stewart's acting skills. The actor spoke about the actress, 22, in an article for the Huffington Post in which he analysed her latest movie Snow White And The Huntsman.

"Some might argue that Stewart - or any young upstart buoyed by the surge of a successful franchise, album, or Internet meme - is just as unjustly charmed. Some could say she had a lucky break when she was cast in Twilight and then rose to international stardom based less on her own skills than on the success of the project. But, whereas Snow White would more than likely be inarticulate, diseased and frail after being confined in a tower for 10 years, Kristen Stewart landed Twilight after years of working with some of the best directors in the business (David Fincher, Sean Penn). She actually does deserve the crown."
