Another day, another former child star gets arrested. But this one makes me sad. Amanda Bynes was arrested for DUI last night in West Hollywood after clipping a cop car as she tried to pass. Yeah, that’s a pretty good way to get yourself arrested. I used to be such a huge Amanda Bynes fan! I loved her on All That and The Amanda Show back in the day, but it seems like she’s been having a hard time these past few years. Remember her weird retirement announcement on Twitter.

I really hope Amanda’s not heading down LiLo’s path. Her mug shot is pretty awful. She’s got some awkwardly colored pinkish purple hair, and heavy eye makeup. Maybe she’ll manage to be more of a Drew Barrymore though, and clean up her act. Either way, there are many former child stars who came before her. Check out Amanda’s mugshot here, and then take a look at these 10 other child star mugshots.

In my opinion, Nicole Richie has amazing style and can pretty much pull off anything. I think she’s the master at accessories (apparently she has more Chanel bags than should be allowed by law) and always looks polished.

She wore this dress to her dad’s benefit concert last week—I can’t decide if the bold print is overwhelming her small frame. I’m all about the statement but, I’m not totally sold. Maybe I’m just not digging the black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow)?

Of course the clutch and bracelet do look perfect.

So what do you think, is our former Simple Life Star (WOW talk about progress) hot or a hot mess?

Celebrities have a tendency to dabble in endeavors they really should just leave to the pros. Think Hilary Duff and serious acting or Taylor Swift and any form of acting, period. But sometimes certain celebs find other niches that show off their other fabulous talents.

Enter celebrity jewelry lines by Nicole Richie, Kim Kardashian, Heidi Klum, Molly Sims and Kate Bosworth. These ladies have a great eye for jewels. From statement pieces to the perfect pair of hoops, these celebs utilize their personal style to create some truly stylish pieces.

Looking for a little extra something to add to your wardrobe? A piece from one of these lines’ will absolutely do the trick!

Groupon: The Movie

It’s finally here: Halloweekend 2011. And though many choose to witty, creative or innovative with their costumes (like building a fully-functioning digital camera costume), most choose to simply…wear less. But Nicole Richie is not okay with that option.

“Girls, can we all pledge that we will not dress slutty for this Halloween?” she posted on her Facebook page earlier this week. “The jig is up!”

Hm, who exactly is the “jig” up for? Maybe Nicole thinks it’s completely unacceptable for 30-year-old mothers to parade around on Halloween in color little-to-nothings for fun. Nicole Richie used to be Paris’ sexy sidekick when out on the town and farming in the middle of nowhere, and maybe motherhood has simply moved her on to another phase of her life. One that involves wearing more fabric than others toward the end of the month of October.

But even more so, are slutty Halloween costumes putting us as women back a few steps as we allow others to openly objectify us without shame? Or, like an annual SlutWalk across campuses nationwide, are we refusing to set ourselves up as a target for sexual violence and actually exercising our right to our bodies, our sexuality and how we are seen by others? Guys get to do it ALL THE TIME and it rarely reflects negatively on their character in the ways that dressing up as a “sexy ____” does. Because hey, it’s Halloween, which means we get to have fun and pretend to be something we’re not. So even if I look like a little skanky or slutty or whatever other supposedly derogatory adjective that seems to be a connection between clothing choices and sexual female behavior, it doesn’t mean I am actually a skank or a slut, just like anyone who dresses up as Lady Gaga or a camera or Toy Story’s Woody character is not actually any of those things. So no matter what my costume is this year, I refuse to feel guilty for playing dress up, even if it doesn’t involve wearing a dress at all.

What do you think? Whose side are you on: Nicole’s or mine?  Should slutty Halloweens seriously be over for all women, even if it’s your first one?

Sometimes when people tell me that I should unplug my chargers when I’m not using them, or that I should not run my A/C as much as I do (I live in Florida!), I just brush it off. I understand and care about global warming and climate change, but it seems like such a big thing that nothing I do will help. BUT GUESS WHAT??? Climate change could ruin Starbucks! I’m going to start unplugging everything in my apartment because I don’t know what I’ll do if I can’t get my Java Chip Frappuccino in 20 years.

While we all know that college students rely on Starbucks to get them through all-nighters and early science labs, celebrities reply on Starbucks even more. I can’t go a day without seeing a paparazzi picture of some celebrity sipping through a green straw. What are these celebs going to do if climate change kills Starbucks? Maybe then their maids will have to make them coffee. GASP!

Confession: I miss hot-mess Nicole Richie. You know, 2003, fresh out of rehab, best friends with Paris Hilton, multi-colored, slightly raggedy extensions rocking, flashing boobies at fashion shows Nicole. I mean, sure, the babies are cute, her hair always looks silky and glorious, and the same antics that a 22-year-old engages in are a lot less cute in a 30-year-old. But still. I’m always a little bummed when not-Lindsay-tragic hot messes start domesticating themselves, because their uninhibited messiness is kind of admirable.

But it’s no big, because now I can admire Nicole for her banging sense of style. She’s the reason we all know who Rachel Zoe is, because Ms. Zoe is the one who gave Nicole a makeover even Cher Horowitz would be impressed by. And after Nicole became a style icon, suddenly every Hollywood starlet under the age of 30 was in Rachel’s care, but while they all looked like clones, Nicole always stood out. She has a strong sense of self that comes through in the outfits she wears, so while she may be uber trendy, she never looks dull or uninspired.

Shopping Info: Shorts, Shirt, Vest, Tights, Pumps.

Okay, upon first glance, you might look at this outfit and then give me major side-eye through your computer. It is one of those outfits that only someone who walks a red carpet regularly should be wearing, but I mean, college is basically Hollywood, and the quad/bar/classroom is your red carpet. This is the only time we can can get away with wearing anything we want before we eventually (economic climate permitting) acquire real jobs with enforceable dress codes. So why not take the opportunity to wear slightly crazy ish?

I completely love this whole “9000 ’80s trends threw up on me but I make it look hot anyway” aesthetic Nicole is rocking in this outfit. Adding pizazz to an oversized button down with a shiny black vest. Without a vest, this would still be a hot daytime look, but with this cute sequined one from Forever 21, now you’re ready for a chill night out. And I know I’m not the only one aching to rock some summer clothes, so why not throw on a pair of shorts (distressed or not) and winterize them with a pair of tights. This look is best with short-shorts, and luckily, every single store only seems to carry the hoochiest of shorts (or do I just have freakishly long legs? bah). Then, to add some major pizazz, throw on some suede stilettos, the highest ones you can teeter strut comfortably in, and bam, you’ve got yourself a super trendy, fun, fabulous outfit that Rachel Zoe would literally die over without her so-high-you’ll-die budget.
