WHM Alert on Red

What ever happened to the sweet, smart, polite Amanda Bynes I met in Miami Beach five years ago I’ll quite likely never know, but this is for sure: colorful Amanda Bynes is not my cup of tea.

OK, I will admit her tweeting that she wanted “Drake to murder my vagina” was pretty funny.

Inspired even.

This latest chapter? Not at all.

The actress has gone out of her way out to outdo Lindsay Lohan when it comes to the antics, and her latest is a doozy: Getting arrested for alleged pot possession – at her place of residence! – by New York City police. But not before (allegedly) throwing her bong out a window. Into the street. (And then claiming it was a vase.)

She lives on a 36th floor.

That’s f---ing awesome crazy.

That’s reckless endangerment, for which she was booked, too (and for – again, alleged – felony evidence tampering).

That’s the new Bynes (and this, at right, is her new look). And I don’t like it. This brand of acting out’s literally not cute anymore. Hasn’t been for a while.

Time to raise the Walking Hot Mess Alert to red, folks.

Hope Bynes gets the help she needs. She was arrested (check out her mug shot, yo) and taken for a psych eval, so maybe she finally is gonna.

Update 1: Perhaps thinking she’s a gift that simply must keep giving, Amanda Bynes leveled grave allegations of sexual harassment and assault against the NYPD officers that arrested her on May 25.

I have a bad feeling about this one. Like, really bad.

Update 2: And just to make sure she stays in the news, Ms. Bynes took to her Twitter to start a feud with...Rihanna?

Yep, out the blue, the Easy A star hit up the singer on May 26, just to tell her that Chris Brown beat her up in 2009 “because you’re not pretty enough.”

And you know what RiRi fired back? This gem: “Ya see what happens when they cancel Intervention?” (The show was 86d by A&E on May 23.)

Oh, snap.

Point, Rihanna. She wins.
