Amanda Bynes Returns to Twitter

She's back!

Amanda Bynes -- who gained quite a bit of attention for her fantastic Twitter account last year before she deleted it at the end of summer -- has, mercifully, returned to the social networking service. Bynes, who previously went by the handle @chicky, did not have any filter whatsoever when tweeting and her stream-of-consciousness, "inventive" style is what led to the cultish following (a group of New Yorkers went so far as to film a video of pedestrians reading her tweets).

Now she's back, with a new, oddly-punctuated handle; and after an assist from Perez Hilton last night, she's quickly amassed about 15,000 followers.

Bynes resumed her utterly strange/wonderful tweeting habits immediately, posting pictures of a starfish she rhinestoned (?), her rhinestoned MacBook Air, her belly-button ring and her name written in ketchup and mustard.

Let's just cross our fingers she's here to stay.
