Amanda Bynes Deletes Tweets Accusing Her Father Of Sexual Abuse

Posted on Sat Oct 11th, 2014 1:59pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Well, someone deleted her tweets. Seeing as Amanda Bynes is currently at a hospital in Pasadena on an involuntary psychiatric hold, we doubt she has access to her phone.

On Friday Bynes flew from New York City to Los Angeles, and the 28-year-old starlet thought she was meeting with her lawyer, but instead her parents (and Britney Spears' former manager) Sam Lutfi teamed up and managed to trick the actress into getting into a black car, which then took her to a local hospital. Bynes was placed on a 72 hour psychiatric hold, and it can be extended for two weeks, which is exactly what happened the last year when she was placed under 5150, prior to her parents being granted a conservatorship.

Lutfi contacted Bynes on Thursday and convinced her to sue her parents, and she agreed to fly to Los Angeles, where she would meet with an attorney. On Friday Bynes posted a string of tweets accusing her father Rick of sexual and physical abuse, and she even tweeted at Lutfi, thanking him for being there for her.

Bynes' mother Lynn and the starlet's siblings released statements on the matter, but this isn't the first time Bynes has lashed out at her family. A source who spent time with Bynes over the last few weeks chatted about her behavior and said, "It's scary. She talks about [how] ugly she is, and she sits on her phone 24-7, checking her Twitter feed. She is very angry at her father."

When Bynes was hospitalized in 2013 following her first public meltdown, she allowed her mom Lynn to visit, but not Rick. "Amanda has consented to seeing her mother, but unfortunately not her dad, with whom she's estranged," a source at the time.

On Saturday Lynn was nowhere to be seen, but Rick was spotted out and about in Los Angeles, though he declined to comment on yesterday's events...

 

We Can't Believe Rachel Bilson Hasn't Popped Yet!

Rachel Bilson ran errands at Bed, Bath and Beyond on Friday afternoon, and it looks like she's due to give birth any day now! While she looks gorgeous as ever, we couldn't help but notice how swollen her poor little feet were. Ouch!

The 33-year-old actress had a baby shower earlier this fall, and fellow moms Natalie Portman and Jamie King were at the soiree. Rachel and her notoriously private baby daddy Hayden Christensen been too chatty, but the longtime lovers are expecting a daughter.

"She's so excited to be having a baby girl. She's wanted it for a long time and is going to be an amazing mom. Everyone is ecstatic for her," a source revealed to Us Weekly.

But when's she due? We thought she was going to pop within a few days of Mila Kunis!

 

Pregnant Kourtney Kardashian And Scott Disick Head To Sin City Without The Kids

Posted on Sat Oct 11th, 2014 11:20am PDT       By X17 Staff


Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick caught a flight to Las Vegas on Friday afternoon, and even though Kourtney is a few months away from giving birth to the couple's third child, she wasn't too worn out to jet to Sin City with her baby daddy. Then again, we have a feeling it was more about keeping an eye on him than it was enjoying his company...

Yesterday Scott hosted a party at 1Oak at The Mirage, and he tweeted, "The Lord is coming for you Vegas! See you @1OAKLV tonight. #LordOfVegas." Lord Disick is going to be changing diapers and holding bottles pretty soon, so maybe he wants to get out as much as he can? That and he's undoubtedly getting paid quite handsomely to host the party ... but will that cash be going towards his kids' college funds or another Ferrari?

 

Lady Gaga Lands In Los Angeles In A Totally Over-The-Top Outfit

Posted on Sat Oct 11th, 2014 10:38am PDT       By X17 Staff


Well, over the top for us -- maybe not so much for her!

On Friday Amanda Bynes wasn't the only one getting attention at Los Angeles International Airport, as Lady Gaga's flight landed around the same time as the troubled actress. Gaga's been rocking this big brown hair for a while now, and the fact that she's wearing just a thong under this sheer lace dress isn't a shocker either, but seeing as she looks like a beautiful bride here, we have to wonder if she has wedding bells on the brain!

The other day there were rumors that Gaga and longtime beau Taylor Kinney were married, but this seems to happen several times a year. Kinney's Chicago Fire co-star Sofia Bush posted a photo of the two, and the actor is clearly wearing a silver band on his left ring finger. Sofia captioned the shot, "I'm REALLY excited to be on @nbcchicagofire tonight! Just about as excited as I was to see my buddy #TaylorKinney at our press day yesterday. Bear hugs are the best hugs. #ChicagoFire #ChicagoPD #ThatsHisPersonalRing #NotForTheShow #EveryoneCalmDown #LindsayAndSeverideArentMarried."

Five months ago Kinney was photographed wearing the same ring, so if the lovebirds are secretly married, it's been for a while now. Plus, we doubt these two would totally fly under the radar with a low-key wedding ... So maybe Mother Monster really IS planning something!

 

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Jennifer Lawrence Flies Off To London To Be With Boyfriend Chris Martin

Jennifer Lawrence caught a flight out of Los Angeles International Airport on Friday, and the 24-year-old actress was headed to the BFI London Film Festival, where she will be premiering Serena in a few days. So what's she doing in the meantime? Hanging out with boyfriend Chris Martin, natch! The musician is currently in the U. K. working on new music, but we're thinking the two will have all weekend to themselves...

And speaking of Chris, apparently things are going quite well for the new couple. In fact, OK! Magazine claims that the two are taking things to the next level and getting engaged as soon as the Coldplay singer finalizes his divorce from Gwyneth Paltrow! "Jen is talking engagement, babies, the whole nine yards," a source tells the mag. "She's been totally swept off her feet by Chris and is convinced they've got what it takes to go all the way."

Woah there! They've only been dating since July, and seeing as both Martin and Lawrence split from their respective partners months before that, it seems a little quick...

 

Amanda Bynes' Parents Worked With Sam Lutfi To Get Actress Into Psych Ward

Posted on Sat Oct 11th, 2014 8:50am PDT       By X17 Staff


Amanda Bynes was put on a psychiatric hold at a hospital in Pasadena yesterday after jetting in from New York City, and the person responsible for helping her parents coordinate and execute the plan is none other than Sam Lutfi, who famously worked with Britney Spears before the pop star was placed under a conservatorship.

Lutfi contacted Bynes on Thursday and convinced her to sue her parents, and she agreed to fly to Los Angeles, where she would meet with an attorney, according to TMZ. Before she was taken to the hospital, Bynes tweeted, "you feel like a brother to me @SamLutfi i mean it. Thank you luuuuv."

Lutfi told Bynes her black car would be stopping by a lawyer's office in Pasadena and then at the London Hotel in West Hollywood, at which point she would confront her parents. The medical facility in Pasadena looked like an office building from the outside, so it wasn't until Bynes was surrounded by hospital staff that she likely realized what was happening. The website reports that Bynes' parents are forever grateful to Lutfi and they even plan on publicly thanking him.

Though Spears' family spoke out against Lutfi and made allegations that he heavily medicated the pop star, Lutfi ended up suing Jamie and Lynn Spears for libel and breach of contract, though that case was closed in 2012. Still, Lutfi has always stated that he was only trying to help the pop princess, and Britney has never commented on their relationship.

Bynes was placed on a 72 hour psychiatric hold, but it can be extended for two weeks. During that time, her parents, Rick and Lynn, will be trying to get her placed under a conservatorship yet again.

BREAKING NEWS - Amanda Bynes Returns To L.A., Sent To Hospital On Psychiatric Hold

Posted on Fri Oct 10th, 2014 3:30pm PDT       By X17 Staff


UPDATE - Amanda was basically tricked into going to a hospital outside L.A. where she's been placed on an involuntary 5150 hold. Amanda thought a car service was taking her to the London hotel to meet with her parents and their respective attorneys, but the 'rents flipped the script and had the car take their daughter to a psychiatric facility, according to TMZ.

She'll be held for 72 hours and the stay could be extended for as long as two weeks. Bynes' parents will try to get another conservatorship.


She's baaaaack!

Amanda Bynes touched down at LAX this afternoon, and it appears she was successful in catching a last minute flight after getting kicked out of LaGuardia airport earlier this morning for screaming at a ticket agent in a frantic attempt to flee the Big Apple.

In case you missed it, the troubled starlet went on a Twitter rant today and accused her father of incest and abuse, before taking back her comments and blaming her outburst on "the microchip in my brain [that] made me say those things". Her alarming accusations prompted her mother Lynn to come to her husband Rick's defense in a statement issued by their attorney.

"I am heartbroken today for my husband of 47 years. Rick has been the best father and husband a family can ask for. He has never abused Amanda or our other children physically or sexually. These accusations are absolutely horrible and could not be further from the truth! These allegations stem from Amanda's mental state at the moment. They have no basis in reality. It saddens me beyond belief that my husband's character could be slandered in such a way," the statement read. Amanda's brother and sister also issued their own statement to defend their father.

It is said that the family is desperate to get the 28-year-old into a treatment facility, but her next move now that she's back in Los Angeles remains to be seen. Stay tuned for all the updates...
