Blinded by the bling.Let's hope Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger got that ring insured. The "Girlfriend" singer is rocking a stunning 14-carat pear-cut diamond — a full 10 carats more than the one ex-husband Derryck Whibley gave her in 2005 —after the Nickelback singer popped the question on August 8 following a whirlwind courtship that began when the two worked together on her upcoming fifth album. A ring of that size would stand out on anyone's finger, but for petite 5'1" Lavigne, it almost takes over her entire left hand!

What has happened to Amanda Bynes? In addition to her April DUI and those two other hit-and-run accidents, the sometimes-actress was almost unrecognizable as she stepped out on Thursday sporting blonde locks … and a Ke$ha-worthy wardrobe. While hitting up an ATM in Studio City, California, Bynes showed off her newly bleached hair, which she paired with an American flag-inspired blouse and animal-print Daisy Dukes. This must be the look described by the motorist Bynes, 26, struck with her BMW on August 4. The woman, named Kisa, told TMZ she didn't realize she'd been rear-ended by the "All That" star because she "looked like a hot mess" before she fled the scene.
