Amanda Bynes won’t be leaving the psyche ward where she was involuntarily held these last 72 hours; a judge presiding over the case extended her stay for 2 weeks as the hospital attempts to figure out what is wrong with the addled starlet. The initial hospitalization followed her making a fire in a stranger’s driveway near her parent’s Thousand Oaks neighborhood. After lighting a fire, she rushed into a liquor store to wash off her pet Pomeranian which she accidentally soaked in gasoline while building the fire.
The people who live at the house she set fire to called the police, who caught up with her and decided to detain her with a 5150 hold – an involuntary psychiatric hold.
Though her lawyer argued Thursday night for her dismissal from the facility, the presiding judged decided to keep her detained. Her parents, meanwhile, Rick and Lynne, are seeking conservatorship, which would grant them full legal control of her life.
That Bynes might have a mental problem is old news: many have speculated about it, as the star became intensely weird, as her friends reported, tweeting things she normally wouldn’t such as she wanted rapper Drake to “murder her vagina” and then tweeting to Rihanna, “Chris brown beat you because you’re not pretty enough.”
She also threw a bong out her window when police visited her apartment, and then claimed one of the police “slapped her vagina.”

It is hoped at least that the psychiatrists can figure out what could be wrong with the former Nickelodeon starlet and bring her to a happier place.
