It broke my heart when I read that former Nickelodeon star turned fashion designer, Amanda Bynes, had been charged with one count of misdemeanor DUI, according to TMZ. It’s also alleged that she was involved in a couple hit and run accidents, which she hasn’t been charged. She is currently working with a criminal defense law firm mckinney tx to help protect her rights.
The starlet took to twitter with this message to President Obama:
Hey @BarackObama… I don’t drink. Please fire the cop who arrested me. I also don’t hit and run. The end.

I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing Bynes on a couple of occasions. You can’t know everything about a person in such a short time. But, she seemed to be a sweet girl with a good head on her shoulders. While Paris Hilton and Britney Spears were in the news every other day about something scandalous, she was busy acting and promoting her clothing line. During my chat with Bynes, I remember asking her about how she avoided pitfalls so many other young celebs find themselves in. She answered the question with conviction. This young lady was about her business. Now that she’s wrapped up in this DUI scandal, it makes me wonder. How can these young celebrities stay clean and out of trouble? In such a situation, hiring an experienced criminal defense attorney for protecting legal rights effectively will also help you clear your criminal record.
Bynes has clearly denied drinking under the influence, and says that she can prove her sobriety. According to Page Six of the New York Post, she plans to have friends testify on her behalf, and also provide camera footage. The star allegedly refused a breathalyzer test initially, but later tested negative at the station. Some have claimed she has been a bit out of it. I hope for her sake that this has all been a misunderstanding.
Here’s a link to my interview with Amanda Bynes.
Do you believe Amanda Bynes was sober? What are your thoughts on young Hollywood, and the example they set for our little ones?

Wow, I agree, it’s awful seeing what’s going on with her now. My two older kids use to LOVE watching her on Nickelodeon. In watching the interview, it’s hard to imagine someone so positive going down that road, but I think it’s that old, Hollywood influence. It gets the better of a lot of good celebrities.
Awww, I used to like Amanda Bynes. I think that it could go either way, she may have been sober and there someone just hoping to sell a bogus headline, or like Amarie said, she may well have caved into the influence of all the fame and fortune around her.
Great looking blog, I love your graphics!
