Amanda Bynes

Amanda Bynes was involved in another hit and run in Hollywood this weekend, but at least she apparently hit some random guy and not a cop.

A man claims he was sideswiped by a Range Rover trying to pass him on the right in L.A., and when the SUV didn't stop, he called the police.

He also began to follow the SUV himself, and when he finally caught up to the Range Rover, sources say the driver was none other than Bynes.

The star told police she had no idea she had struck another vehicle, which is plausible, as police say damage to her car was quite minimal.

Law enforcement sources tell us Amanda was very cooperative with police and that they had her exchange information with the other driver.

She was not given a citation for the incident and cops will not be investigating the case any further ... beyond the usual insurance rigamarole.

Bynes was arrested for DUI last month after she clipped a police car, and has basically continued crashing and partying in the 2-3 weeks since.

Amanda Bynes has agreed to lay low after her agent and manager ordered her to stop being a fixture of the Hollywood nightlife scene. Is a trip to rehab next?

As has been widely reported, Bynes was arrested for DUI after she hit a police car, then returned the next night to the same club she went to beforehand.

She was then involved in another traffic incident last week. As she keeps on partying (and some say crashing), friends are urging the star to go to rehab.

"Amanda has been in a downward spiral for six months. Even though her dad publicly said she doesn't drink he knows she has a problem," says a friend.

As a source told The New York Post, "She is not the same girl. She just does whatever she wants. Friends are concerned; it's not the Amanda they know.”

"It's truly sad to witness. She is refusing to go [to rehab]."

Says another alleged source close to the situation:

"Amanda was just going out without thinking after her DUI arrest. She was spotted texting and driving and just putting herself in really horrible situations."

"Amanda's agent and manager have ordered her to lay low and avoid clubs. She desperately wanted to go to Coachella last weekend and she has been told not to go the second weekend of the festival, but she is an adult."

Amanda Bynes may have been arrested for DUI in early April, but the actress isn't letting that legal hiccup get in the way of her Hollywood partying!

The troubled star - friends say Bynes has been lost for years - drove herself to hot spot Greystone Manor last night, where she was photographed texting behind the wheel... prior to backing her car over a curb in a red zone!

See for yourself:

Bynes did eventually make it into the establishment, which is more than can be said for the day after her arrest.

Mere hours after the actress was released on bail following her drunk driving incident, she was denied access at THE SAME BAR she had frequented the evening before. At the very least, someone should tell Amanda to text a cab next time.

Amanda Bynes' DUI arrest Friday has left those close to her scratching their heads.

Yesterday, her dad denied she was drunk during the incident, in which she side-swiped a cop and ended up in jail on suspicion of DUI. Now friends are weighing in.

"This DUI was definitely just a serious lapse in judgment," a friend tells People. "She hit a wall personally and professionally [in '08]. I think she's been a little lost since."

Another source, who calls Bynes "a very sweet girl," says, "[She] was raised in the industry, so she has kind of a twisted head space in terms of social groups."

But according to the 26-year-old's father, Rick Bynes, his daughter doesn't drink. He tells PEOPLE she was held in jail because "she was upset and very emotional."

Another source says Bynes "seemed fine to drive" when she left the Standard Hotel in W. Hollywood, where she is a regular and had dinner Thursday before her arrest.

She had alcohol, but "never seemed drunk," the source says.

Bynes then went to Greystone Manor (where she's also a regular), and was arrested after leaving there. After being released from jail, she went back to party again.

Adds the source: "Bynes tried to come back to party [at the Standard] only hours after she was released from her DUI arrest," but she is no longer welcome.

Probably for the best. Whatever happened, time to dial it back.

Amanda Bynes' father is not just standing by his daughter in the aftermath of her DUI arrest on Friday. He says she absolutely was not drunk that night.

"She was not drunk," Rick Bynes told People. "I'm told she blew a zero on the Breathalyzer. She didn't have a single drink. My daughter doesn't drink."

The elder Bynes claims the the cop who arrested Amanda Bynes was at fault for pulling out in front of the actress as she was turning at an intersection.

While she was arrested for DUI after side-swiping the cop, Rick adamantly says his daughter was not impaired, just extremely "upset and very emotional."

Adding that she was released with no bail, Rick went on to say, "Amanda is a good girl. She just chooses not to work, and because of that, people go after her."

That's ... an interesting theory we hadn't considered.

What we know is that Bynes was at L.A.'s Greystone Manor Supperclub Thursday night. She was cited for investigation of DUI around 3 a.m. Friday, then held overnight at the West Hollywood Sheriff's department's station post-arrest.

She and some friends reportedly went back to that same bar the next night - just hours after her release from jail - only to be turned away by the staff.

While authorities would not comment on the star's specific case, Bynes was released with the citation and will have to show up in court when a date is set.

Not even a full day after Amanda Bynes was arrested for DUI last week, the actress returned to continue partying at a Hollywood bar, only to be turned away.

Bynes and some friends tried to enter the hotel bar at The Standard Hotel on Sunset Boulevard on Friday night, but the doorman refused to let the star in.

According to TMZ, hotel staff members were aware of Bynes drinking at the nightclub at The Standard on Thursday evening, hours before her DUI arrest.

In case she pulled a repeat performance, they wanted nothing to do with it.

Sources say she and her friends left the hotel without incident after getting negged.

The 26-year-old actress got popped driving through West Hollywood around 3 a.m. Friday morning after she allegedly side-swiped another car.

A police car, as luck and her incredibly irresponsible behavior would have it.

Let's give Amanda Bynes credit: the actress didn't merely get arrested for DUI early this morning. She made her arrest count!*

As first reported by TMZ, Bynes was busted around 3 a.m. in West Hollywood after she attempted to pass a police car in hew BMW... and ended up side-swiping the vehicle!

Following this incident cops pulled the 26-year old over, determined she was not fit to be driving and hauled her into the station. She was released hours later on $5,000 bond.

* We are just kidding. No DUI arrest ever "counts" for anything positive. Stay alive, readers. Don't drink and drive.

Pity Amanda Bynes.

The actress retired from acting last June... then Tweeted that she was back... then released photos of a rhinestone-encrusted starfish... and has now realized the true meaning of Twitter for someone in desperate need of attention:

Sexy self-portraits!

Bynes has snapped a couple close-ups of herself, first in a bikini top and then rocking a set of pouty lips and dark sunglasses. We'll post them now as we prepare for the inevitable Amanda Bynes sex tape in a few weeks.

It's a very sad day in Hollywood: Amanda Bynes has retired from acting. We'll give you a moment to collect yourself...

In a series of Tweets today, the 24-year old actress wrote:

Being an actress isn't as fun as it may seem. If I don't love something anymore, I stop doing it. I don't love acting anymore, so I've stopped doing it.

I know 24 is a young age to retire but you heard it here first I've #retired.

Bynes has not starred in a movie since 2007's Hairspray. She anchored her own sitcom, What I Like About You, from 2002 to 2006.

Will you miss Bynes on TV and in films?

She likes his nickname for her and remembers things they said "months ago." She thinks he's "worth the wait" and quotes lyrics to express feelings for him.

And they may already be broken up. Such is the life of Amanda Bynes and Drake, supposedly. It was a rumored romance spawned - where else - on Twitter.

Drake termed Amanda "Penny Lane" in one Tweet, and she noted in a message they have something in common: "Drake is half Jewish like me ... word!"

Word indeed. "You're the best, which is why I'm saving you for last," she wrote, quoting lyrics from Rihanna (linked to Drake herself last year) and Jay-Z.

Bynes then raided iheartquotes.com for further inspiration.

Is (or was) Amanda Bynes the best Drake ever had?

Cute as it sounds, Bynes' new flame may actually be an old one. On Valentine's Day, Bynes said she was newly single and was glad she never her man's identity.

Then this week she wrote, "Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect," she hinted, quoting J.K. Rowling.

Deep. Whomever the man is, he was rocking Bynes' world for weeks. She writes: "It's amazing when someone knows how to love you with out being told."

Until things went south: "I have a friend I thought was like a sister to me," she wrote. "She's been lying to me and has been up to no good with a man I like."

The actress then added that "Some people make me sick."

Damn, Drake. Cheating on her with her BFF? Bold, man. Bold and cold, my friend. Bet Amanda's watching the video of Drake's on-stage ACL tear on repeat.
