Amanda Bynes Scandals

Amanda Bynes was driving aimlessly for hours earlier this week, smoking out of what appears to be a drug pipe. With a suspended license no less!

TMZ photos CLEARLY show the star taking hits from a pipe designed to look like a car cigarette lighter, with remnants of marijuana all over her ride.

In addition to what by all accounts looks like weed (see the photos), Bynes' car is a mess, littered with trash, stains, bottles, dog hair and other items.

Amanda apparently started her day at a Baja Fresh in the San Fernando Valley, where she ate tacos in the parking lot and smoked from the pipe.

Following a three-hour spa excursion, Bynes drove without purpose for hours, sometimes cutting off other drivers and violating various traffic laws.

Amanda eventually ended up at Home Depot for reasons unknown; there, she again took a hit from the pipe in the parking lot, TMZ is reporting.

The actress is already driving with a suspended license, which is illegal, following her DUI arrest and two hit-and-run allegations earlier this year.

She needs to get help, and fast. Or at least pay a friend to drive her around so she can get stoned and eat tacos while endangering fewer lives.

Amanda Bynes has been charged following her April 6 DUI arrest. In response, she Tweeted at President Obama to have the cop who arrested her fired.

"I don't drink," the actress, 26, said in a Tweet to the Barack Obama presidential campaign (@barackobama). "Please fire the cop who arrested me."

Don't count on it. The U.S. Government has no jurisdiction over a West Hollywood police matter. Moreover, guy doesn't even read his own account!

With Lady Gaga, you might get a reply, even as one of 25 million Monsters.

The misdemeanor charge of DUI against Bynes was filed Tuesday and relates to her April 6 arrest, when she was pulled over in West Hollywood.

The actress allegedly sideswiped a police car in her BMW when she tried to turn right, then did not stop. She refused a breathalyzer and drug test.

If convicted she faces a maximum penalty as a first-time offender of 48 hours in jail, three years probation and a nine-month alcohol program.

She could also lose her driver's license for a year, which might not be the worst thing, as this is one of several other recent driving mishaps for Bynes.

About a week after her arrest, she backed over a curb while texting, and a week later was spotted holding up traffic while making a slow three-point U-turn.

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.

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.
