And we bet her arch nemesis Lindsay Lohan is FUMING!

According to sources, actress-turned-we’re-not-sure-what Amanda Bynes was recently able to reach a financial settlement in both of her hit and run cases.  Reports say that the LA City Attorney is not at all pleased about this development; especially because Amanda is still involved in a pending DUI case.

Yeah, we’re kind of with you on that one LA City Attorney guy…

Either learn how to drive or take public transportation like every other living breathing New Yorker!  Hey, you say you’re “retired” and want to be off the grid, so you might as well start living your life as a “normie” before you get in any more trouble!

Just a friendly suggestion…

After her numerous run-ins with the law of late, former Nickelodeon sweetheart Amanda Bynes is choosing her company a little more carefully.  According to insiders, the 26-year-old actress did her best to stay away from fellow cop-magnet Lindsay Lohan during a recent trip to New York City.

Amanda had contemplated staying at the Dream Hotel, but when she was told that Lindsay had been hanging out there, and it had been the scene of her most recent arrest, she crossed it off her list and is instead staying with some friends…

Apparently, Bynes was pretty upset by a Tweet Lilo posted regarding her recent arrests, which read:

Why did I get put in jail and a nickelodeon star has had NO punishment(s) so far? +

These are the moments that I appreciate my life experiences, living without regrets and Disney for supporting me as an actress-night all*

Um, Lindsay?  You got put in jail because you are an absolute train wreck and we’re sure Amanda won’t be far behind if she keeps up with these kind of antics.  Wow, how old did we just sound there… 83, 84?

For her part, Bynes says that her missteps are a far cry from Lindsay’s patterns of erratic behavior.  A source close to the star revealed,

Amanda knows the press would go into a feeding frenzy if she and Lindsay were in the same place, so she is calling ahead to restaurants and stores to make sure that Lindsay isn’t there… Amanda just wants nothing to do with Lindsay and doesn’t know why she was commenting on her legal troubles when Lindsay is no saint herself.

Sources confirm that Amanda plans to relocate to the Big Apple permanently, to begin a full-time career as a fashion designer and we wish her the best of luck.  Just try and steer clear of smoking joints in Mexican restaurant parking lots – we hear the NYPD frown on that…

Whoa, whoa, whoa – what the heck happened to the old Amanda Bynes we know and love – and HAVE loved since she played the darling Amanda Bynes-obsessed Penelope on All That!?!?

According to sources, the former child star was seen driving through L.A. with a “drug pipe” in her mouth while she ran some leisurely errands on Tuesday.

Because who doesn’t like to get stoned while they scarf Baja Fresh and drop by Home Depot to pick out multicolored light bulbs…

Apparently, errand running wasn’t enough of a midweek rush for the 26-year-old because eyewitnesses report that the Easy A star then drove around aimlessly for hours, even ”sometimes cutting off other drivers and violating various traffic laws.”

This news comes only weeks after Ms. Bynes’ license was suspended for refusing to take a sobriety test after being busted for a DUI back in April.

Here’s hoping one of our favorite funny girls can get it together!

Somebody needs to take away the keys from these irresponsible Hollywood starlets!

Now don’t get us wrong – we LOVE us some Amanda Bynes!  Who doesn’t love watching What a Girl Wants or She’s the Man on ABC Family on rainy Sunday afternoon?

But seriously now Amanda – Get it together girl!

According to reports, an L.A. woman filed a police report yesterday claiming that the actress who “looked a hot mess” rear-ended her on Ventura Blvd and refused to exchange insurance information.

The woman claims that Bynes said that the damage to both cars was too minor to involve insurance companies and then attempted to repair the woman’s loose bumper herself.  Bynes then apparently left the scene, despite the woman’s attempts to get more information from her.

All of this comes on the heels of Bynes being arrested on suspicion of DUI on April 6 and for hit-and-run incidents of May 5th and 27th! a

Can we all just hope and pray this was just some loopy Amanda Bynes look-a-like and not actually one of our favorite SNICK stars?
