Amanda Bynes Settles With Hit-and-Run Victims; Charges Dropped, City Attorney PISSED

Amanda Bynes has reached financial settlements with both of her hit-and-run victims from earlier this year, and the L.A. City Attorney’s office is far from pleased. As you surely heard, the troubled star was charged with two counts of hit-and-run stemming from separate 2012 in which she hit other people’s cars, then bailed. Bynes has since struck a financial deal with both sets of victims, however, and her attorney then convinced a judge to throw out the criminal charges against her. The decision infuriated the L.A. City Attorney’s Office, to put it mildly. Prosecutors strongly objected based on the fact that there were multiple incidents – and Amanda Bynes’ DUI arrest , a case that’s still pending – but were rebuffed. Speaking of the DUI case, the District Attorney’s Office is still moving forward with that case, and it’s scheduled to go in front of the judge next month. Don’t expect prosecutors to go easy on her.

Christina Aguilera Irate Over Child Abuse Claim, Lawyer Releases Statement

Christina Aguilera is positively furious, and for very good reason. Earlier in the week, the website MediaTakeOut published a picture of the singer’s son and wrote the headline: “CHILD ABUSE???? CHRISTINA AGUILERA’S SON IS PHOTO’D WITH A BLACK EYE!!!” Aguilera, who remained above the fray when called out by Kelly Osbourne , didn’t sit idly by in the face of such an accusation and called upon her lawyer to issue a statement. Wrote Eric Greenspan to the site in question: “Christina is a wonderful mother and was not present in the park when Max fell and hurt himself… To imply that she had something to do with this incident, without any investigation on your part whatsoever, is reckless and unconscionable.” The attorney then threatened a lawsuit and concluded: “HAVE YOU NO SHAME!!!!” MediaTakeOut has since changed the headline. Idiots. [Photo: WENN.com]
