Ordinarily I wouldn't care about celebrities and their lives, but turns out this happened in my hometown. A bit worrying, but at least no one was hurt.

The reason Amanda Bynes does this shit is because she knows it will get attention. I think this video explains exactly how society should respond to the antics of Amanda Bynes or any other celebrity:

She's 27? I thought she was, like, 20.

That would make her a year younger than me, and I was a kid when I watched the Amanda Show.

Driveway, not house.

They haven't released her answers to the police publicly yet (she was held involuntarily because of what she said), but it seems like she was building a fire for a "practical" purpose.

Who the hell is Amanda Bynes?

She had a very popular show on Nickelodeon back in the 90s, which was a very popular kids' channel. So she's basically one of the biggest parts of my generation's childhood. Then she did some movies when she got older (and we were preteens and teenagers), so she never truly went away. Then she went totally batshit insane out of nowhere in the past year. She was literally nothing in the news until about a year ago, at which point she was showing up for an endless string of drug and DUI charges and gradually going more and more crazy.

^Ahh.  I didn't have cable/sat until 2005.  I know of Nickelodeon the channel (what it used to be, anyway), though.

A couple years ago she did a photo shoot for Maxim.

What were looking at here is the next Lindsey Lohan. I'm gonna go ahead and call the future break down of Miley Cyrus as probable.

Wasn't she caught a while back soaking her dog in gasoline?

That was actually from this same incident!

According to the testimony of the man who first found her (http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/amanda-bynes-spills-gasoline-dog-allegedly-starting-fire-article-1.1407693), she was stripping off her pants after accidentally setting them on fire during the escapade. She had her gasoline-soaked Pomeranian with her at the time, and apparently ran off while the guy was stomping out the fire and asking people to call 911 so she could head to the liquor store down the block (still pantsless) to wash the dog off.

So she comes back and the first guy to find her suddenly recognizes her (they went to high school together), and when she went to jump in a cab he tried to stop her. She threatened to call the police on him and sped off, but his 911 call beforehand meant that the cops showed up soon after and found her.

Apparently she's been estranged from her parents recently (for obvious reasons) and they live around the block from where the fire was started.

Shoot, I think I may know that liquor store.

She didn't even ask about using the sink. She just walked in, wander around aimlessly, then barged into the employee area.

Does anyone have a good explanation of the events leading up to this craziness and arrest?

Leading up to? Nope. Guy was just walking and BAM, Amanda Bynes pulling off her flaming pants after starting a bonfire on a woman's driveway.

I bet the police questioning was entertaining. I so hope they videoed it and it gets released.

I don't think it'll get released in video form, but you KNOW that at least the transcript will make it out.
