Amanda Bynes doesn't think she needs rehab or conservatorship, insists she's not having Spears/Lohan-type meltdown: report
Despite increasingly bizarre behavior the former child star says all is well. But her uncle says things are far from well with his niece.
Reports may have surfaced Monday that Amanda Bynes will soon be checking into rehab, but the former child star insists that she's not following in the footsteps of other troubled starlets like Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears.
Bynes is telling friends that she definitely does not need a conservatorship the way Spears did because she is very much capable of making her own life choices, TMZ reports.
In fact, the actress says, another reason her family has never brought up the possibility of a conservatorship is because she doesn't have mental problems, period.
Bynes' uncle Ronald Bynes reportedly spoke to Celebuzz.com in an interview recently, telling the site that he is concerned for his niece because her immediate family is ignoring the fact that things aren't alright for the "Easy A" actress.
"She needs to stop drinking and driving," Ronald told the site. "She needs help. (Her father) doesn't want to talk about her and often changes the subject. The problem is there's no correspondence (between Amanda and her parents).
"I don't even think they know what's going on with her. They're very upset about her recent problems, but they're in the dark."
A source told E! News Monday that despite reports, Bynes has not checked into rehab, nor does she have plans on doing so.
The 26-year-old starlet first sparked concern when she was involved in a series of fender benders starting when she hit a cop car this past April.
Her most recent vehicular troubles came about when she hit another car on August 4, and consequently had her license suspended on Aug. 25, possibly a direct result of refusing to take a sobriety test back in April.
Bynes still insisted on driving illegally, however, and the actress was most recently photographed in Los Angeles earlier this month, weaving through traffic and smoking from what appeared to be a drug pipe in various parking lots.
Sources close to the actress came forward shortly afterward, claiming that Bynes had troubles that went deeper than drug use: She had been showing signs of mental illness for a while.
According to TMZ, Bynes would oftentimes be seen talking to herself, and would sometimes break into hysterical laughter "for no reason."
The former "All That" actress also occasionally spoke to inanimate objects.
On Monday, Bynes went shopping at boutique shop Kin in West Hollywood, and locked herself inside the dressing room for an hour and 45 minutes, the site reports.
When an employee tried to check in on the starlet, she only replied that she needed "more time."
Later, when she finally emerged, she purchased a pair of stilettos, a pair of sunglasses and several other items before stalking out of the store into a waiting cab.
But, according to TMZ, she realized that she had walked out with a bathing suit top on underneath her dress and returned to the register to pay for the suit as well.
Bynes will likely appear in court Friday for a hearing about her pending DUI case, Us Weekly reports.

Amanda Explained:
1.She's "method acting" for a roll in a top secret movie. Maybe "Fast and Furious 6" (they've done like 5 now, right... ) maybe she's the lead. maybe she's in a sequel to "Girl Interrupted"... "Transformers 4?!" ... Maybe she plays a Crazy Car IN Transformers 4....! (Sorry Michael Bay if I just spoiled your entire plot) OR... Maybe... Just maybe, sheee, is an awful driver in a city with a bunch of awful drivers?!? Have any of you driven in LA?! It's madness for a GOOD driver.. Let alone a bad one. I'm a BAD Driver... I could have died in LA multiple times and the only substances I was under the influence of: Fritos and Redbull
2. She was having an important conference call on her cell in the dressing room. You know how it goes... You're trying stuff on and your agent calls, you get into a big discussion about how Emma Stone totally stole your gig in Easy A and if you had agreed to dye your hair Red you could have gotten more than 20 min of screen time in a movie since..."She's the Man". I often ponder major life decisions in a dressing room... Give a Sista' some space.... If she wants to try on 2 pairs of jeans and it takes her half the day, let it be! The economy sucks, you should be glad she's shopping!... Oh... AND she PAID for the stuff unlike some "other" celebs who A. Don't or B. sit at home and just wait for free stuff to come to THEM. Oh AND you got GREAT press for your store by talking about her being in your dressing room for a long time. (coincidence, I think not)
3. I'm sitting here writing this ...breaking out into hysterical laughter "for no reason"....sometimes when I look at funny posts someone "Pins".... This also happens...I think of a funny joke I heard earlier in the day... This happens, Or I think of the airplane scene from Bridesmaids This happens... If more people did this, the world would probably be a lot less uptight! This is NOT a sign of insanity! It's a sign of jubilation, lightheartedness, happiness! Would you rather her attack an SUV with an umbrella?
4. Hey "Concerned Uncle Ron".... Wish I had an uncle who cared half as much as you. its important that when you care about someone's well being and mental state you run to the nearest media outlet and tell them all about how troubled your "poor niece" is?!? I don't buy for a second that there even is an Uncle Ron and if there is... I wouldn't blame Ol Mandy Bynes if she made his Christmas card out this year as "Uncle Shmuk"
5. Smoking... For medical reasons... Is common now a days.... Oh who am I kidding-!!!! I'm going to go make some popcorn and watch What A Girl Wants :/

Amanda Bynes can add some more legal trouble to her list.
The actress, 26, whose car was impounded on Sept. 16, was charged on Friday with two counts of driving on a suspended license, according to documents filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court.
Bynes's license was suspended earlier this month following two hit-and-run incidents, for which she has also been charged.
Bynes is also facing DUI charges related to her April 6 arrest when the Easy A actress was pulled over at 3 a.m. in West Hollywood after allegedly sideswiping a police car in her BMW when she tried to make a right turn.
When reached on the phone recently, Bynes told PEOPLE she is "doing amazing." Of her DUI charge, she said, "I don't drink and drive. It is all false."
Bynes's lawyer did not return a request for comment.
