Amanda Bynes reached a plea deal in her driving under the influence (DUI) case yesterday (24.02.14).
The 'Hairspray' actress - who has recently been treated for schizophrenia - faced the charges from 2012, but her lawyer managed to get the DUI charge dropped so she could plead no contest to a lesser charge of alcohol-related reckless driving.
Although she has escaped jail and a large fine, Amanda will now have to undergo three years of probation and must attend three months of alcohol education classes.
Her lawyer, Richard Hutton, told newspaper The New York Daily News: "She's doing very well. This case took some unexpected turns, but it's resolved. Everything is going just like it should."
Amanda completed psychiatric treatment for both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in December and is now living with her parents in Thousand Oaks, California, under a mental health conservatorship.
The 27-year-old star's mother, Lynn Bynes, is her temporary conservator - meaning she has control of Amanda's personal and financial affairs - and a judge overseeing her conservator duties recently praised her for her daughter's continued progress during a hearing.
A source recently told how Amanda's parents are thrilled her life is more stable, but don't think she is ready to move out of their home yet, even though she is eager to get her own place.
The insider said: "It's not likely she will be moving out of their house for at least the next several months."

Will Ferrell gets carried away when building Lego.
The actor - who voices two charters in 'The Lego Movie' - loves to play with the children's building blocks, which are sold in sets allowing users to build intricate designs such as cars, boats and jets, but admits he sometimes gets a little too engrossed in the building.
Will - who is father to Magnus, nine, Mattias, seven, and Axel, four, with his wife Viveca Paulin - said: "I have had moments where I have sat down to help my son build the Millennium Falcon [craft from 'Star Wars'] and have literally told him to leave the room because I have to finish this one part. He can join me later. And I literally build it like for an hour. But then it's like, 'My God, what am I doing?' "
The funnyman also admits he gets the same desires to then smash his creations back into pieces that his children have.
He added to USA Today newspaper: "There is a part of me that wants to re-create the picture we see on the box of whatever we bought. There's a certain feeling of accomplishment to build the perfect Eiffel Tower. And yet smashing that thing to the ground and starting from scratch, that should be supported, as well."
Will is not the only star to enjoy Lego, as retired soccer star David Beckham has recently admitted he likes to play with the blocks, and they help to "calm him down" after a stressful day at work.

Olivia Wilde has joked her baby is "almost cooked".
The 'Tron: Legacy' star is pregnant with her first child with fiancé Jason Sudeikis and is excited about the impending arrival, which is just over two months away.
Next to a picture of her cradling her bump on Facebook, she wrote: "Sure I've looked like this after Mexican food but this time it's a BABY. #almostcooked #nineweekstogo #holyfu&$ (sic)"
Olivia, 29 - who is expecting a boy - has previously said she loves her pregnant body, saying: "It's great - I've never had boobs before!"
However, earlier in her pregnancy Olivia was a little annoyed with her changing figure because people kept thinking she had just put on some extra pounds, instead of realising she was pregnant.
She said in January: "Until about a week ago, I just looked fat! I wanted to be like, 'I'm not fat, I'm pregnant!'
"I find that people will go to such great lengths to not mention it. People will be like, 'Hey would you like a glass of whiskey?' Or, 'You want to get on this roller coaster?' And I'm like, 'Oh well I'm actually pregnant.' And they go, 'What!?'
"I think it's because unless someone is watching you give birth they don't want to make the wrong call, because that's the worst thing in the world - when you congratulate a non-pregnant woman on her pregnancy."

Robin Thicke and Paula Patton have split.
The 'Blurred Lines' hitmaker and his actress wife have decided to end their marriage after almost nine years together.
In a joint statement to People.com, they said: "We will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time."
Robin, 36, and Paula, 38, first met when they were teenagers and married in 2005. They have one son together, Julian Fuego Thicke, three.
The split comes after Robin was seen dancing closely with a mystery woman after a performance at Club 79 in Paris in January.
In September last year another woman, Lana Scolaro, claimed Robin had kissed her at a party in New York.
She said: "I went to the bathroom, and when I came out he was standing there ... He turned off the lights so no one could see us, and he started making out with me. He was grabbing me. He was like, 'I want to get you into bed' ... His hands were everywhere."
The 'Give it 2 U' star was also photographed with his hand on Lana's bottom, reflected in a mirror.
Paula previously said she and Robin argued, but remained committed to each other.
She said: "Listen, we have fun, but like every couple, we have our ups and downs. Nothing is perfect, but we're very happy. He's my best friend."

Dan Aykroyd has led tributes to his 'Ghostbusters' co-star Harold Ramis.
Actor, director and writer Harold passed away earlier this morning (24.02.14), and Dan - who co-wrote as well as starred in both 'Ghostbusters' and 'Ghostbusters II' with him - led condolences.
He said in an email message: "Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my brilliant, gifted, funny friend, co-writer/performer and teacher Harold Ramis. May he now get the answers he was always seeking."
Ivan Reitman, director of the two movies, also paid tribute, saying: "The world has lost a wonderful, truly original, comedy voice with the passing of Harold Ramis.
"He possessed the most agile mind I've ever witnessed. He always had the clearest sense of what was funny and how to create something in a new clever way ... Harold had an extraordinary impact on my career and I loved him like a brother."
Harold worked on many other films as writer and director in his career including 'Caddyshack', 'Groundhog Day,' 'Analyze This' and 'Animal House', making a huge impact in Hollywood.
Billy Crystal wrote on Twitter: "Sad to hear my friend Harold Ramis passed away. A brilliant, funny, actor and director. A wonderful husband and dad. Big loss to us all."
Steven Martin tweeted: "So sorry to hear about the death of Harold Ramis, a comedy master. 'Ghostbusters', 'Groundhog Day', and more."
Film director Ron Howard also paid tribute, saying: "Harold Ramis RIP. no one could ever top him in terms of somehow being Cool & off-the-charts creative and incredibly kind & gracious. (sic)"
Some of Harold's last work was directing episodes of the US version of 'The Office', prompting one of the show's stars, Rainn Wilson to write: "Was honored to have gotten to work with Harold Ramis, the Buddha of Comedy. Brilliant, humble, radiant. We've lost an icon."
Another one of the show's former stars, Steve Carell, wrote: "Harold Ramis. Funny, gracious, kind hearted. A joy to have known you."
Harold is survived by his wife, Erica Mann Ramis, their two sons, Julian and Daniel as well as his daughter, Violet Ramis, with former spouse Anne Plotkin.

'Ghostbusters' star Harold Ramis has died aged 69.
The actor and director - best known for his role as Egon Spengler in the 1984 comedy, which he also wrote, with Dan Aykroyd - passed away in the early hours of this morning (24.02.14) after suffering autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis for a number of years.
Although he is best remembered on-screen for his roles in 'Ghostbusters' and its 1989 sequel, Harold had been a leading figure in comedy since the 70s, directing 'Caddyshack', 'Groundhog Day' and 'National Lampoon's Vacation'.
He also co-wrote the iconic 1978 film 'National Lampoon's Animal House', and later 1999s 'Analyse This' and 2002s 'Analyze That', starring Robert De Niro, which he also directed.
Harold continued to act in recent years, with parts in 'Knocked Up', 'Airheads' and Oscar-winner 'As Good As it Gets' and he had also directed episodes of the US version of 'The Office' for network NBC.
Harold had been a member of improvisation group Second City in his native Chicago, where he met John Belushi and Bill Murray, whom he would later go on to work closely with.
Harold said his work had been inspired by the Marx brothers and a job he briefly held working at a mental institution in Missouri.
He said: "It prepared me for when I went out to Hollywood to work with actors. And not just with actors. It was good training for just living in the world."
Harold is survived by his wife, Erica Mann Ramis, their two sons, Julian and Daniel as well as his daughter, Violet Ramis, with former spouse Anne Plotkin.

Josh Brolin has been pictured kissing Kathryn Boyd.
The 'No Country for Old Men' actor was seen smooching with the blonde, who has reportedly worked for him as an assistant, in Rome this weekend.
According to People.com, the pair "wandered the cobblestone streets and stopped at the famous Trevi Fountain."
Josh, 46, has been single since his divorce from Diane Lane, his wife of eight years, was finalised last year.
The actor - who also had a stint in rehab November last year after a number of drunken incidents - in is in Italy working on 'Everest', about an ill-fated expedition up the world's highest mountain in 1996, which resulted in eight people's death when their team got caught in a blizzard. The movie will also star Jake Gyllenhaal, Jason Clarke and John Hawkes.
In preparation for the film, Josh and Jake went for a hike in the Santa Monica mountains, but things took a downward turn after they lost sight of their direction markers.
A source explained: "They'd started out in Malibu canyon and followed marked paths until they got to a rocky area where Jake wanted to climb. When they started back down the other side of the mountain, Jake kept insisting he knew the way but after an hour, Josh realised Jake had no clue."
Facing the prospect of darkness falling, temperatures plummeting and dangerous wildlife including coyotes and poisonous snakes attacking them, the pair appealed to the first people they came across, a Boy Scout troop, who helped bring them back down safely.

Charlie Sheen is upset people keep referring to his fianceè as a porn star.
The 'Anger Management' actor is preparing to wed Brett Rossi, but is angry people keep referring to her adult movie past, which saw her appear in titles including 'Me and My Girlfriend', 'Fantasy Girls' and 'My Sister's Husband', which was released last year.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "It's absolutely making Charlie crazy that the media keeps referring to Brett as a porn star, because she no longer is doing that. She recently graduated from nursing school.
"Furthermore, her stage name is Brett Rossi, her legal name is Scottine Ross.
"He wants people to refer to her as Scottie, which is the name she goes by in her personal life. Charlie has told his publicist to tell media outlets to stop calling her a porn star."
Charlie and Brett's marriage will have to wait until her divorce from present husband, Jonathan Ross, is finalised. He originally filed for divorce in July 2013, but Brett, 24, didn't register a response until January this year, two weeks before she got engaged to Charlie. The divorce is expected to be legally completed in the next few months.
Charlie has previously been married three times and is a father of five. He has grown-up daughter Cassandra with former girlfriend Paula Profitt, daughters Sam, nine, and Lola, eight, with second wife Denise Richards and twin sons Bob and Max, four, with his third spouse, Brooke Mueller. He has also recently said he is "open" to having kids with Brett, but in the future.

Priscilla Presley has compared Miley Cyrus to Elvis Presley.
The ex-wife of the legendary late singer thinks the 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker is "very talented" and doesn't see anything wrong with her infamous 'twerking' dance moves as the 'Jailhouse Rock' star was slammed for his suggestive hip movements, which were seen as vulgar in the 1950s.
Priscilla told 'Entertainment Tonight': "I think she's very talented. I really can't criticise, because Elvis went through the same thing."
However, Priscilla thinks Miley - who has been criticised for her stage antics, which include simulating a sex act and dancing in skimpy outfits during her 'Bangerz' tour - and other young stars take raunchy performances to an "extreme" and she doesn't understand the former Disney star's outrageous behaviour.
She continued: "It's taken to extreme [today]. I don't know what to think of her, I really don't. I think maybe Miley feels she has to express herself and this is what she needs right now."
She said Elvis, who died in 1977, had "sex appeal" when he was younger, but he was bothered by the reaction to his dance movements, which were inspired by listening to gospel music.
Priscilla, 68, explained: "He got reprimanded really by not only the public but a lot of people from high places, who were like, 'Gosh, who's this on the scene, it's vulgar'."
Meanwhile, Priscilla, who was married to Elvis for six years and had a daughter, Lisa Marie, with the star, has dedicated her time to the new '60 Years of Rock 'n' Roll' exhibit at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee, which features a number of mementos of the star's legacy.
She said: "I have so many memories. I can walk in this house and feel the energy. I walk in the door and it's like, 'Oh my gosh!' His spirit is definitely here."

Nelly Furtado admits it can be "challenging" working with her husband.
The 'Say it Right' hitmaker has worked with her sound engineer spouse Demacio 'Demo' Castellon - who she married in 2008 - on two albums, 'Loose' in 2006 and 2009's 'Mi Plan' and though they share "healthy tension", their studio sessions usually result in "good things".
She told PEOPLE magazine: "It's a healthy tension working together. It doesn't always go smoothly, of course, and it can be really challenging when there are differences of opinion, which of course happens. But good things always tend to come out of it, and that's the whole point."
"We make it work because he's often doing his own thing. I go off and do my own thing, so it's not like we're working together all the time."
Nelly is returning to the recording studio later this year and is looking forward to her spouse to push her into creating work that is better than ever.
She added: "When we work together, he challenges me. That's what makes him so great in the studio. If it were an easy process, the final product wouldn't be very good, but he helps me to reach a little bit further. He pushes my boundaries."
And away from the studio, the 35-year-old singer - who has 10-year-old daughter Nevis with former boyfriend Jasper Gahunia - says she and her family have a "great life".
She said: "We're very blessed to have a beautiful family. We have a great life together. Life is good."

Liam Neeson gushed about the "explosive chemistry" he shared with his late wife Natasha Richardson.
The 'Non-Stop' star - whose actress wife of 15 years died following a skiing accident in Montreal, Canada in March 2009 - recalled the first time he set eyes on her after they met on the set of 1981's 'Excalibur', and compared their chemistry to iconic dance partners Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
Talking to Anderson Cooper in '60 Minutes,' in an interview that aired on Sunday (23.02.14), he said: "She was a radiant beauty. Yeah, cascading hair. I remember. There was -- that was very, very attractive.
"I'd never had that kind of an explosive chemistry situation with an actor, or actress.
"She and I were like Astaire and Rogers. We had just this wonderful kind of dance, free dance on stage every night, you know?"
The pair had two sons, Michael, 19, and Daniel, 18, together, and Liam admired her "motherly instinct" and the way she looked after their family.
He added: "[Natasha] cared for everybody. She has - she had a motherly instinct. And she'd make dinners for everyone and just looked after us all."
Liam has been in an on/off relationship with PR executive Freya St. Johnston since 2010.
