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.

Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather: Will it Happen?

Will Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather fight this May? The former’s trainer says he will decide within days whether to agree to a boxing match May 5. Freddie Roachsaid Manny and promoter Bob Arum are in the Philippines, trying to push back deals to fight other boxers so he can tangle with Floyd. Roach is scoffing at Mayweather’s tweet in which he calls Pacquiao a “punk,” saying, “He should look in the mirror. He’s been ducking us for two years.” As for what weight class Manny Pacquiao will fight in, Roach said 147 lbs., or the upper limit of welterweight. We’ll see if that becomes an issue as well. Of course, even if Pacquiao can rearrange his schedule, both sides have to agree on a financial deal, leaving many possible opportunities for an impasse. Roach says, “We’ll do it on even terms.” At least Mayweather’s jail sentence for domestic violence has been pushed back, freeing up his calendar for May 5. He just needs an opponent to conveniently duck last minute. Who will win if Pacquiao and Mayweather throw down?
