Amanda Bynes was released from a Southern California mental health facility on Monday and will start outpatient treatment sources tell TMZ.

The actress, 37, was released after both Bynes and the medical staff determined she was ready to get back to her day-to-day life, say the insiders.

The sources add that Bynes will live in her own home and maintain much of the independence she enjoyed following her nine-year conservatorship.

TMZ previously reported that the former Amanda Show star was spotted wandering naked in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 19.

Bynes reportedly waved down a car, telling the driver she was coming down from a psychotic episode, and then called 911 on herself, according to the outlet. After arriving at a police station unharmed, she was placed under a routine 72-hour psychiatric hold.

Bynes’ struggle with mental health was at the center of the nine-year conservatorship that was placed on her affairs. It was terminated last year.

Arnold Schwarzenegger takes it to the streets, literally, in a new Instagram video. The action movie icon and former governor of California apparently had it with a local pothole and took it upon himself to fix it.

In the video, he and some friends can be seen pouring and shoveling hot asphalt into the giant gap in the street.

A grateful passerby stopped her car and exclaimed, “Arnold! Oh, man!” before thanking him.

“You have to do it yourself,” Schwarzenegger responded. “This is crazy: Three weeks I’ve been waiting for this hole to be closed.”

The star captioned the video, “Today, after the whole neighborhood has been upset about this giant pothole that’s been screwing up cars and bicycles for weeks, I went out with my team and fixed it. I always say, let’s not complain, let’s do something about it. Here you go.”

Arnold won praise from many of his followers, including his former True Lies co-star Tia Carrere, who commented, “Haha Leave it to Arnold,” adding an applause emoji.

Incidentally, before he found big-screen stardom, Arnold worked in construction and as a bricklayer in California. Hauling concrete and stone was the perfect side hustle for him and the pro bodybuilders with whom he worked, including his late friend Franco Columbu, who later had a cameo as another killer cyborg in 1984’s The Terminator.

Cameo, which allows people to send video messages to family and friends from their favorite stars for a fee, is responding to Paul Rudd‘s get-well gag on pal Jeremy Renner in the best possible way.

As seen on Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday night, Rudd had sent a recuperating Renner a gag Cameo, telling “Jerry” he hopes he feels better after “getting in a fight with a snowblower, apparently.”

Rudd also recommended “Jerry” just “let the snow melt” next time, instead of risking his life aboard the more than 14,000-pound vehicle that crushed him in the near-fatal accident.

But Cameo is now allowing fans to follow suit and wish the Avengers star well on his road to recovery following his accident via its Cameo Collage. The free tool lets friends collaborate on a Cameo video to send to whomever they wish — and now they can reach out and touch Renner, virtually. Just head over to this site to upload pictures or a personal message to the star.

Incidentally, many fans who have already contributed have taken Rudd’s lead and are referring to the Hawkeye star as Jerry.

As Renner’s pal Chris Evans lamented as Captain America in Avengers: Age of Ultron, “That’s not going away anytime soon.”

Air, the drama about the real-life battle Nike had to sign Michael Jordan, made more than $20 million amid tough competition at the box office over its first weekend, what with the monster hit The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

The film is being embraced by critics and audiences, with the ratings aggregator Rotten Tomatoes giving it a Critics Score of 92 and an Audience Score of 98.

Oscar winners Ben Affleck and Matt Damon co-star in the movie they co-produced, with Affleck directing. The latter explains how he was able to wear so many hats.

“For me, it was made … so much easier because this is a group of people who either I had known for a long, long time, [have] an enormous amount of respect and regard for, Matt Maher, Chris Messina, and obviously Matt Damon and Jason Bateman, all of whom … I’ve worked with multiple times and know well and adore and admire, and people who had been my sort of life’s goal to work with.”

He adds of co-star and script contributor Chris Tucker, “I think Chris can attest to the number of times I’ve harassed him like [if] he passed me by in a hotel lobby. ‘Chris! Chris! Chris! I want to do a movie with youuu!'”

Damon agrees. “Marlon [Wayans], Chris [Tucker] … they’re writers, as well as actors … they’re filmmakers. And Jason Bateman’s a director-producer, you know, so we really lean on our actors.”

He adds, “Part of our process has always been from Good Will Hunting all the way ’til today [is] … lean into what your actor’s bringing; the actor always is in the moment and always knows. And we had these conversations with Viola [Davis], like … ‘What do you feel like here?’ You know, because that’s always the way to the best scene.”

James Marsden is all in for a 27 Dresses sequel.

During a recent interview, the Jury Duty actor shared that he’d gladly do a follow-up to the 2008 rom-com, where he starred alongside Katherine Heigl — and he’s even got a name for it.

“27 Children,” he told E! News.

The 49-year-old went on to share that he was surprised by the response that the film has gotten over the years.

“That movie weirdly has legs that I’m not sure I anticipated in having,” he shared. “Just a fanbase that people — when they talk about romantic comedies — you don’t really see too many of those made nowadays.”

However, Marsden believes that things are starting to shift.

“I think that people are starting to have an appetite for it again,” he added. “So, yeah, bring it on.”

“Who woulda thought: you on a show like this,” Sistine Stallone, one of Sylvester‘s three daughters, asks the Rocky star in a preview to their family reality show, The Family Stallone.

Indeed, the trailer opens introducing Sly as “one of the world’s biggest stars” and invites viewers “to see him as he’s never been seen before: As. A. Family man.” To that end, the big-screen tough guy is seen brushing his cat. “Really?” he asks.

The preview shows the show pivoting between Hollywoodland and family life — at one point, Oscar winner Al Pacino is seen hanging with Sly, along with Stallone’s Rocky IV nemesis Dolph Lundgren, with Pacino busting his friend’s chops, saying of the reality series’ cameras, “I feel as if I’ve just jumped into ‘Stallone World!'”

The show also stars Stallone’s wife, Jennifer Flavin Stallone, and his other daughters, Sophia and Scarlet, as they navigate life with their famous family name. “I know we’re insane. I know we’re crazy, but we love each other so much,” Flavin Stallone gushes.

Sistine jokes of her dad, “It’s quite ironic that this is the last guy who wanted to do a reality show, but when he sees a camera, he’s like, ‘Am I in frame?'”

“That’s the truth,” Sly smiles.

The show starts streaming May 17 exclusively on Paramount+.

Jennifer Lopez shows off her guns — and brandishes not a few firearms, as well — in the action-packed trailer to her forthcoming Netflix action movie The Mother.

The sneak peek starts with Lopez’s character, a former assassin just called Mother, shortly after she gives birth. Edie Falco‘s FBI agent character informs her she has to give up her daughter and go on the run, lest the bad guys whose operation Mother disrupted find them both.

Eventually, the baddies catch up with the now tween girl (Lucy Paez), forcing J Lo’s character out of hiding to hunt her and her abductors down.

“They’re using her to get to me,” she tells an ally, played by Omari Hardwick.

The girl doesn’t know her mom, but quickly learns she needs to trust her. “I wanna go home,” she implores. “Not until you know how to survive,” Lopez tells her daughter, as she trains her to do just that.

She later says in the trailer, “I’m a killer. But I’m also a mother, and I will die protecting her.”

The movie drops on Netflix on May 12.

Four months after his near-fatal snowplow accident, Jeremy Renner made a hilarious appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Monday night.

After being introduced as “the Avenger who beat Thanos, Loki and a 14,000-pound snowplow, the indestructible” Jeremy Renner took the stage, walking with a cane, but in amazing spirits.

“Was this a publicity stunt?” Kimmel asked, admitting he “can’t believe” the twice-nominated actor was even alive, let alone looking so well.

It was “a very, very bad way to start the year,” Renner said, noting he broke “35 or so” bones in the incident.

“It’s a giant metal cookie roller” Renner said of the vehicle that he got pulled under while trying to save his nephew from it, adding, “It just missed every vertebrae, did not hit any organs, my brain did not swell, nothing like that.”

“My eye did pop out. That’s weird,” he added with a laugh. “But I got pretty lucky that none of the organs got messed up.”

As for his collapsed lung, the 52-year-old joked, “That’s OK, I got another one.”

The actor, there to promote his passion project Rennervations, which is about to premiere on Disney+, also talked about the support he got from his family and friends. He said it was his friends’ reactions, like his Avengers co-star Chris Evans, that let him know he was in such bad shape. “Terrible actors, they couldn’t hide the fact that I looked awful,” he joked.

Renner also shared that another Avenger, Paul Rudd, visited him in the hospital several times. The Hawkeye star even shared the Ant-Man lead’s fake Cameo call to “Jerry” to cheer him up after his “fight with a snowblower or something.”
