First Detention: Amanda’s downward spiral began in March 2010, when she left the Farrelly brothers’ movie, Hall Pass, under a cloud. On Twitter, the actress claimed she wasn’t doing the film because of a scheduling conflict but was she actually fired? The Daily Beast reported sources said that cast and crew had a hard time with Amanda because her behavior had been “paranoid and fearful” on the set.

Alleged Arsonist: On July 22, Amanda was detained by police and placed under a 5150 hold—a 72-hour hospitalization for mental evaluation-- because she allegedly lit a fire in a stranger’s driveway in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Witness Andrew Liverpool told reporters he pulled his car over after seeing a trail of fire and gas at the property. “It's dark, it's 8:45 and…I saw this girl laying right there with her left pant leg on fire. I look at her and I'm like, 'it's Amanda Bynes!' She was, like, really frantic like she wanted to get out of there." After the incident, a source told RadarOnline the troubled starlet’s worried parents “are now considering going to a judge and attempting to get a conservatorship of Amanda.”

Now We Nose: The troubled former child star told her Twitter followers in May that she had had a nose job. While not saying when she had the surgery, Amanda complained, "In Touchmagazine used a photo from years ago on their cover and I hate it! The reason I've asked all magazines and blogs to stop using old photos of me is I don't look like that anymore! I had a nose job to remove skin that was like a webbing in between my eyes. I wasn't going to tell anyone, but I look so much prettier in my new photos!”
