Bynes was allegedly smoking marijuana in the lobby of her building, causing the doorman to call police. When police arrived, Bynes allegedly fled to her apartment and flung a bong out of a window. She was arrested, taken to Roosevelt Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, and then booked on charges of reckless endangerment, tampering with evidence, and possession of marijuana.

Since that time, Bynes has had a preliminary hearing on the charges. The actress faced a judge while wearing the disheveled blonde wig she has been showing off on Twitter for months. Bynes’ lawyer stated during the hearing that the actress denies ever throwing anything out of her window.

The former Nickelodeon actress was released without bail and is scheduled to appear in court again in July. Bynes is already on probation for driving on a suspended license in California.

TMZ has also been able to obtain a mugshot (http://www.tmz.com/2013/05/24/amanda-bynes-mug-shot-shaved-head-arrest-bong/) for Bynes, which shows how short her hair is without her extravagant wigs.

According to a report from the York Dispatch, 48-year-old Karen Harrelson and 57-year-old Gregory Stambaugh were drinking and watching American Idol on May 15 at Stambaugh’s home. They then began arguing over which contestant should win the competition – Candice Glover or Kree Harrison. York police believe one of them then grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed the other, prompting the person stabbed to grab the knife and stab back.

It is not clear which of the two stabbed the other first. Also not clear is which of the two was arguing for Candice Glover, who ended up winning American Idol the following day.

Stambaugh stated to police that Harrelson had retrieved the knife first, stabbed him and then ran off. He recalled that he then followed her and wrestled the knife away. Harrelson maintains that she retrieved the knife to cut a slice of cake, when Stambaugh attacked her and cut her with a different knife. She alleges that she then stabbed him with her knife before dialing 911.

Both Harrelson and Stambaugh were arrested and charged with aggravated assault.

Johnson received one year of probation for the charge, and was cut by the Miami Dolphins.

Now, Johnson is back in court after violating the terms of his parole. According to a TMZ report, Johnson did not check in with his probation officer for two straight months and failed to show that he was enrolled in a domestic violence education class. A warrant for Johnson’s arrest was issued by Broward County last Thursday.

In a video of Johnson’s courtroom appearance, the 35-year-old wide receiver described his behavior as a “total misunderstanding” between himself and his probation officer. The judge, however, took issue with the pace at which Johnson was completing his domestic violence classes, saying that he should have been done with them in March. Johnson’s bail has been set at $1,000.

However, those same stars aren’t usually assumed to be selling the drugs themselves.

This week, soap opera actor Dylan Patton has been arrested for cocaine possession. According to a TMZ report, Patton, who starred on Days of Our Lives in 2009, has been charged with possession of cocaine with intent to sell. The star is reportedly still in jail, with a bail set at $30,000. He faces up to 9 years in prison if convicted.

TMZ had previously reported that Patton was selling cocaine from his home. The bust was made by an undercover police officer who claims he bought cocaine from Patton. Police then raided Patton’s house on Tuesday.

Patton is best-known for playing the character Will Horton on Days of Our Lives. Patton played the character for nearly one year, and earned an Emmy Nomination for Outstanding Younger Actor. He left the show in 2010, and the role of Will Horton was recast.

SWAT team was called to the home of actor Eddie Kaye Thomas this week, but it wasn’t the latest incident of ‘swatting‘.

TMZ this week is reporting that Thomas placed a 911 call this week, after a woman at his house threatened him with a knife. Police arrived and an hours-long standoff with the woman ended when the SWAT team forced her out of the house with tear gas.

The TMZ report states that Thomas had only met the woman the night before the incident. The woman reportedly “trashed” Thomas’ house and smashed a guitar during the incident. She has been charged with felony vandalism.

Thomas is most famous for playing the role of Finch in the 1999 movie American Pie. The character is famous for bedding another character’s (Stifler’s) mom at the end of the movie.

In addition to reprising his role in other American Pie movies, Thomas has starred in movies such as Freddy Got Fingered, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, and Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist.

One man learned the hard way this week that Facebook only allows users to link their relationship status to one person at a time.

According to an Associated Press report, a corrections officer in Seattle was outed as a bigamist after one of his wives found him on Facebook. The man, Alan O’Neill, is now facing bigamy charges.

The court documents show that O’Neill married one woman in 2001. He then left his wife, changed his name, and remarried in 2009. O’Neill’s first wife found out about his second wife through a “People You May Know” suggestion on the Facebook sidebar. She and O’Neill, though separated, had not been divorced.

According to the AP, O’Neill has been placed on administrative leave and is awaiting a court hearing for bigamy charges later this month.

According to a TMZ report, the comedian was stopped by the California Highway Patrol early on Sunday morning. The CHP claims that Hart was driving erratically and over the speed limit on the 101 Freeway in Los Angeles. The report also states that Hart was “unable to perform field sobriety tests.”

Though most celebrities prefer to remain publicly silent about their arrests, or brush them aside as being inaccurately reported in the media, Hart has chosen to confront his DUI arrest head-on. Using his Twitter feed, Hart recalled his short stay in jail and even recounted his own version of the arrest, which includes him admitting to the CHP officer who pulled him over that he was drunk. He also stated that the incident is a “wake up call” for him and admitted that drinking & driving is “stupid.”

Luckily for one man who pulled out a BB gun near President Obama this week, the incident did not end with Secret Service agents gunning him down.

According to an Associated Press report, a man in Bloomfield, Connecticut pulled out a rifle-sized BB gun on Monday as the presidential motorcade passed by. President Obama had just given a speech about gun control at the University of Hartford, and was on the way back to Bradley International Airport to board Air Force One.

The man was reportedly pacing back and forth while acting suspicious. He was arrested by police as soon as he pulled out the gun. The man’s name has not been released, though he was scheduled for a court hearing in Hartford on Tuesday.

Hartford is less than 50 miles from the site of the Newtown mass shooting that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School last December.

According to a New York Post report, a man dressed as Cookie Monster in Times Square assaulted a two-year-old boy this weekend.

The man, named Osvaldo Quiroz-Lopez, is reported to have posed for a picture with the child and then pressured the boy’s mother for two dollars (for cookies, presumably). According to police, when the mother refused to tip, the man “cursed her” and pushed the boy to the ground. Quiroz-Lopez was arrested on charges of reckless endangerment and endangering the welfare of a child.

This isn’t the first time costumed characters have run afoul of the law in New York City. In December 2012, a man dressed as the video game character Mario in Times Square was arrested for placing his hand on a woman’s thigh. In June 2012, a man named Adam Sandler (not that Adam Sandler) was arrested while wearing an Elmo costume and going on an anti-Semitic tirade in Central Park.

According to a Los Angeles Times report, Jameson was arrested this weekend on charges of misdemeanor battery. According to police, Jameson is accused of hitting an unnamed person at a house in Newport Beach, California on Saturday evening.

The report states that the person Jameson is accused of hitting made a citizen’s arrest on Jameson and called police. A court date has been set for a hearing on the matter and Jameson was released on her own recognizance.

This is the second arrest in one year for Jameson, who was arrested in May 2012 on D.U.I charges. In that incident, the former porn star drove into a light pole, fueling numerous “pole” jokes on Twitter.

Jameson began acting in pornographic movies in the early 90s and quickly became one of the most-recognized porn stars in the world. Following her porn career, Jameson went on to found the website ClubJenna, which manages porn star websites. In 2004 she published an autobiography titled How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale, which covers her early career in porn and became a New York Times best-seller.
