Amanda Bynes arrested for possession, claims bong was a vase via Rickey.org Amanda Bynes mug shot, as seen on court documents (Credit: AKM-GSI) As if trying to out-Lohan ol’ Lindsay, Amanda Bynes is back in trouble with the law once again. The actress was arrested Thursday night for reckless endangerment, possession of weed and tampering with evidence following a criminal complaint in which a man in Amanda’s building, The Biltmore on W. 47th St., reportedly witnessed Bynes smoking a joint in the lobby.

When questioned by the officer, Bynes reportedly flipped out. The officer stated, “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 officer arrested Bynes on the spot.

The judge released Bynes under her own recognizance, a decision that was, ultimately, a bit of a surprise given the wholesale absurdity of Bynes’s defense: the former child star told the judge that the bong cops accused her of tossing out her apartment window was “just a vase.” Prosecutors requested Bynes be remanded in lieu of $1,000 bail, but the judge chose instead to release Bynes with a stern warning that if she should miss her court date in July, an arrest warrant would be issued.

There are certain TV moments I’ll never forget watching live. The Seinfeld finale, the (disappointing) reveal of Homer Simpson’s middle name, the FACE OFF scene from Breaking Bad, the second Dr. Romano helicopter accident on E.R. (but NOT the first), the series premiere of Dog with a Blog, the time a loopy Mariah Carey ripped off her clothes and handed out ice cream on TRL. I had no idea what the hell was going on, but damned if I didn’t enjoy “Loverboy.” Anyway, Mariah has regained her sanity since that fateful surprise, although she’s still not a pro at live TV. Earlier today, she was on Good Morning America as part of their “Central Park Summer Concert Series,” and in order, she said “sh*t,” claimed she goes to sleep at 8:30 a.m., popped her dress, pronounced “ensemble” in a way I’ve never heard before, spun around so that everyone in the crowd could see her popped dress, cupped both her boobs, invited GMA‘s Lara Spencer to support said boobs, and claimed her wardrobe malfunction would go viral on Spotify. Meanwhile, Nick Cannon was left at home, so he could finish working on his Up All Night fan fiction. Poor guy.

During The Crash last week, how many of you caught the fleeting moment that Bobby, Sally, and Megan were watching The Prisoner in the bedroom?  I had to smile at that. My siblings were crazy about the series, especially the super-cool Patrick McGoohan, who gave the title character vulnerability, brains, and steely determination to overcome [...]

Mariah Carey curses on ‘Good Morning America’, suffers wardrobe malfunction via Rickey.org Credit: ABC Mariah Carey continues to make headlines with or without American Idol, illustrating that wardrobe mishaps are not the sole providence of the Janet Jacksons of the world. The singer and season 12 judge performed in Central Park for Good Morning America‘s concert series, a gig that forced Carey to break from her unconventional sleep schedule. “I wake up at this hour,” she explained. “I don’t mean I wake up, I mean I go to sleep. It’s kinda the same thing for me.” As it is for us all, Mariah. As it is for us all. Of course, the weirdness didn’t stop there, as Carey accidentally dropped the word “s***” into the middle of the interview before fumbling to recover, attempting to pass it off as “shoot.” Things only got worse, as her Donatella Versace dress popped open in the back during the interview. Carey, the consummate professional when it comes to making chicken salad out of chickens***, incorporated it into the interview segment. “I love you Donatella, but it popped darling,” Carey said, laughing on stage after finishing her performance of “Always Be My Baby.” She held up her breasts while attendants fixed the situation in the back. Carey then joked with “GMA” anchor Lara Spencer. “Should we call this the Central Park saga?” Check out the videos below: The Voice • American Idol • The X Factor
