Bynes. (SplashNews)Amanda Bynes and Lindsay Lohan have a lot more in common than they think. The “What I Like About You” actress fled Los Angeles to New York City over the weekend, a few weeks after the “Mean Girls” star – who called out Bynes for getting off easy in her hit-and-run cases – did the same. Bynes, who missed a hearing regarding her suspended license in L.A. on Monday, was spotted in midtown Manhattan on Saturday “aimlessly wandering around for hours,” an eyewitness tells TMZ, which also has a photo of her carrying shopping bags.

In an interview with People magazine last week, Bynes revealed that she planned on moving to the Big Apple to pursue a career in fashion now that she is “retired” from acting. TMZ adds that the 26-year-old has told friends that she has no plans to return to L.A., even though her parents have just moved there from Texas to be closer to their troubled daughter.

Lohan. (SplashNews)Two weeks after Lindsay Lohan tried to get out of her “Scary Movie 5” cameo by claiming she had walking pneumonia, she was rushed to a New York City emergency room last night after an asthma attack. The “Liz & Dick” actress received medical attention at Mt. Sinai and was discharged a short time later after getting prescribed some antibiotics, according to TMZ. Now resting at her hotel, Lohan is "doing fine," says her rep.

If Lohan really was truly suffering from walking pneumonia as she claimed, she certainly felt well enough to party. Around 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday, she was arrested after striking a man with the Porsche she was driving as she arrived at the Dream Hotel. Three days later, Lohan was back on the late-night social scene, but thankfully this time, she was riding in the passenger seat.

Another thing that probably doesn’t help asthma? Smoking. Still, Lohan was photographed doing a lot of it in the two weeks since she said she had walking pneumonia. On September 13,

Arnold and Maria. (WireImage)After years of having the wool pulled over her eyes by her husband Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver settled the score in January 2011 when she blindsided him during a couple’s therapy session with the allegation that he had fathered a child with their housekeeper. Although he had denied it for years, that day – just 24 hours after he left office as the governor of California – he finally came clean. Under the impression that the therapy session was to cope with their transition from public life back to a private one, the “Terminator” action star was caught off guard and revealed, “It’s true,” he writes in his memoir, Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Story, which hits bookstores October 1.

Schwarzenegger immediately followed up his admission by begging his wife of 26 years to not leave him. Admitting “it was my screw-up,” he told Shriver that she was the “perfect wife” and that he was still “turned on” by her, according to the New York Daily News, which acquired an advance

Bynes. (Splash News)The hits just keep coming for Amanda Bynes. On Friday, the actress was charged with two counts of driving on a suspended license stemming from last Sunday when she was pulled over and her car was impounded in Burbank, California, about a week after a judge had ordered her to stop driving. According to TMZ, Bynes – who has plead not guilty to DUI and is still awaiting trial for two counts of hit-and-run – was first pulled over at a nearby airport when cops spotted her aimlessly driving around a valet area. About 90 minutes later, cops once again intervened, and when they ran her license, it came up as suspended so they immediately had her car towed.

Although Bynes clearly has some issues behind the wheel, help is available. Goodyear sent both the “What I Like About You” actress and the equally driving-challenged Lindsay Lohan letters on Thursday offering them a free one-on-one driving lesson at the company’s Akron, Ohio, headquarters. “We're concerned for your safety and the safety of

Suri and Tom. (WireImage)Tom Cruise may not have seen his daughter in over a month, but it doesn’t mean they’re not still close. After a report came out this week that the “Mission: Impossible” star had “abandoned” 6-year-old Suri because he had not seen her since August 4 when he took her to Disney World, a source tells People that couldn’t be further from the truth. "Tom talks to Suri several times a day,” says the insider close to Cruise. “He misses Suri very much.”

Cruise, 50, is currently in London, where he has been busy filming “All You Need is Kill” the past few weeks. Suri, meanwhile, has been with mom Katie Holmes in New York City, where she just began the first grade on September 11. Although her father wasn’t there to see her off on her first day or help her with her homework after school, “he’s up on everything that’s going on in her life,” adds People’s source.

Even Cruise’s lawyer, Bert Fields, has weighed in, calling In Touch’s story “a disgusting, vicious lie by a disgusting, vicious

Kanye and Kim. (Splash News)Kanye West and Kim Kardashian sure do have a lot in common besides their love of fashion. A 20-minute sex tape starring the rapper and an 18-year old married woman is reportedly being shopped around to the highest bidder – and it’s apparently brought him to tears. It’s unclear how the video fell into the wrong hands since West is the one who shot it. According to Radar Online, which has viewed the footage and claims it is indeed the rapper (they also have a screen grab of him), he can be seen setting up the camera and making the woman state her age, and at the end of it, he looks directly into the lens as he shuts it off.

His partner – who tells West in the tape that she and her husband “don’t have sex anymore … that’s why I’m here” – is a dead ringer for Kardashian. Radar describes her as having “bodacious curves, dusky skin, and long black hair.” But the reality star needn’t worry that her man is cheating. The video, which does not involve any kissing, was reportedly shot before he

The moment is here: We get to finally see how Lindsay Lohan does as the iconic Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime made-for-TV movie, “Liz & Dick.” On Thursday, the network unveiled a 31-second trailer of the highly-anticipated release – but it hardly gives much of a glimpse at the troubled star’s cinematic comeback.

The brief clip is mostly just snapshots of Lohan as Taylor (Grant Bowler plays her on-and-off lover, Richard Burton) with words like “infamous” and “scandalous” stamped onto them, as Alex Clare’s “Too Close” (you know, that song from the Microsoft commercials) plays. Lohan, 26, says a total of nine words in the trailer … is that a clue as to how she performs in the movie?

But she does have a lot to say about that alleged hit-and-run she was arrested for in the early hours of Wednesday morning in New York City. Lohan was taken into custody around 2:30 a.m. as she left the Dream Hotel, two hours after a man claims she struck him

Nassif and Maloof. (Jesse Grant/WireImage)So much for that “positive attitude” Adrienne Maloof was hoping she and husband Paul Nassif would both maintain during their divorce. In the seven weeks since the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” couple announced their separation on July 30, the two have been at war, accusing each other of everything from gun violence to alcohol abuse, and now, child abuse.

On Wednesday, Maloof’s lawyer appeared before a judge and claimed that the famed Beverly Hills plastic surgeon had choked one of his three sons (Gavin, 9, and 6-year-old twins Colin and Christian) who was fighting with his brothers during a car ride home from school last Thursday. In addition, Maloof alleges that Nassif, 50, took the punishment too far with one son when he “threw him in the corner” after he misbehaved during bath time (the boy later told a psychiatrist what happened, according to TMZ). The couple’s chef also filed a declaration to the judge claiming he had witnessed Nassif kick the family dog after it had an
