With Lindsay Lohan taking a break it looks like Amanda Bynes is angling to be the next great flameout. Yet, she just can't seem to breakout to the number one spot. I guess she never quite achieved the kind of fame you need before you self destruct to the enjoyment of the American public.

So, with Britney Spears seemingly yesterdays news, and Charlie Sheens at least temporary retirement from trashing hotels with hookers, who will step up?

And what is it with Americas fascination with the self destructive?

Since I have a life of my own I am not fascinated with stardom or burning stars or the american obsession with burning stars.

Well, there's the South Park theory.

Or maybe we're bad people who like seeing people who we perceive as "better" (prettier, younger, richer, etc.) brought down a peg.

Reality TV would seem to support my take on it.

I saw something about her on the Today show this morning and asked my gf what was going on. She told me that apparently Amanda Bynes was smoking weed in the lobby of her apartment building (lulz), so someone called the cops. When the cops arrived, she was already back in her apartment, on the 30th floor. So the cops come in, see Amanda Bynes with a glass bong. She looks at them and says, "Bong? This is not a bong, it's a vase.", then tosses it over her shoulder, out the balcony window, to the street below.

Aside from the risk of her actions seriously hurting or killing someone on the street below, I find this shit fucking hilarious. That was pretty quick thinking.

I honestly had to look that up. It's almost as if the masses need to adopt a self-destruction story. And the pool isn't getting any larger, so the best they got was Amanda.

I was under the impression that she tossed a "vase" out the window that almost hit the cops. I only skimmed the articles though.

That may be the case. I'm just paraphrasing a convo I had this morning. At the time of the conversation, I honestly was thinking of how hot Amanda Bynes is, and how this breakdown of hers means she's likely a fucking riot in the sack. So some details may be skewed as a result.

Amanda Bynes denies being arrested

The actress went back to Twitter and posted the following by way of explanation on Saturday.

"Don't believe the reports about me being arrested. It's all lies. I was sexually harassed by one of the cops the night before last which is who then arrested me. He lied and said I threw a bong out the window when I opened the window for fresh air. Hilarious. He slapped my vagina. Sexual harassment. Big deal. I then called the cops on him. He handcuffed me, which I resisted, quite unlike any of the reports stated. Then I was sent to a mental hospital. Offensive. I kept asking for my lawyer but they wouldn't let me. The cops were creepy. The cop sexually harassed me, they found no pot on me or bong outside my window. That's why the judge let me go. Don't believe any reports."

I only know of her from the Amanda Bynes Show on Nickelodeon. Never really thought it was funny though. Keenan & Kel were much better.
