What is happening with Amanda Bynes these days?

After bailing on L.A. and her acting career in favor of a freer East Coast lifestyle, the troubled 26-year-old has been acting a bit odd, to say the least. In the past couple of weeks, Bynes has revealed her edgy new look (complete with red hair and cheek piercing) and tweeted up a storm, including a not-so-subtle message to rapper Drake. The message read "I want Drake to murder my v-----." As you might imagine, it raised more than a couple of eyebrows. And while all of this might seem innocuous enough, coupled with her previous driving mishaps and all-over-the-place behaviour of the past few months, it has people concerned for the star’s life. Who would those people be exactly?

According to E!News, Amanda’s West Coast-based family has been paying close attention to her antics of late and they are concerned. A source says that Amanda’s parents would like her to return to the West Coast, where they can keep an eye on her, but the rebellious 20-something refuses. The source also claims that even though the actress will remain in NY for the time being, her relatives are hoping that everything will be fine, but are ready to step in, if needed. Talk about overbearing parents!

This kind of surveillance might be appropriate for a teenager, but a 26-year-old? Then again, judging by Bynes’s twitter stream, some supervision might not be such a bad idea.
