Amanda Bynes Remains Hospitalized After Being Placed on Psychiatric Hold

by

Amanda Bynes has chosen to remain hospitalized in a psychiatric facility. The troubled former Nickelodeon star was placed on a psychiatric hold three weeks ago. It was last month that authorities found Bynes wandering naked and alone around downtown Los Angeles. Furthermore, police were able to determine that Bynes had been living on the street for some time. Bynes was initially placed on a 72-hour hold. However, the hold was later extended to further evaluate Bynes’ needs. There is currently no word on when Bynes will be discharged from the hospital.

TMZ reports that medical staff is taking Bynes’ stay on a week-by-week basis. Sources close to Bynes told the outlet that she is free to leave. However, the “What a Girl Wants” star has decided she isn’t ready yet. Additionally, Bynes will attend outpatient therapy when she does decide to leave. The incident in Los Angeles is just the latest chapter in more than a decade of struggles for the 37-year-old. Bynes’ legal woes began in 2012. During that year, she was hit with two separate charges of driving under the influence. Additionally, she was also with two hit-and-run charges that same year.

Furthermore, Bynes began concerning fans with her public behavior. In 2013, she began posting bizarre rants on social media. It was later that year that Bynes was first placed on a psychiatric hold. Additionally, she would again be hospitalized the following year. Bynes would go on to announce on Twitter that she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Moreover, those close to Bynes believe she was manic when she was discovered by police last month. Additionally, Bynes was previously under the conservatorship of her mother for nine years. The conservatorship went into effect following her early troubles in 2013.

However, Bynes is not alone. An outpouring of support has come from fans and stars across the entertainment world. Moreover, two of the stars to publicly show support to Bynes are fellow “All That” alums Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson. Bynes was a mainstay for kids who grew up during the 90s. Her runs on “All That” and “The Amanda Show” won her fans all around the world. It is heartening to hear that Bynes has chosen to prioritize her mental health. Many fans will be rooting for her when she does leave the hospital.

Lil Uzi Vert: “I Never Heard A Bad Song From Lil Baby”

by

Lil Baby and Lil Uzi Vert are leaders of their generation. We’ve witnessed both artists get it out of both and transform into the biggest stars of today. Baby became an inescapable force in the music industry. Records like “My Dawg” took over the streets while songs like politically-conscious “The Bigger Picture” showcased his range. On the other hand, Lil Uzi Vert has undoubtedly pushed the boundaries when it comes to his sound and style, especially in recent times. Though “Just Wanna Rock” didn’t top the Billboard Hot 100, it’s yet another anthem that proves Lil Uzi hardly misses.

Though both rappers don’t necessarily work together often, they certainly frequent the same spaces. This weekend, both rappers hit the stage for Rolling Loud where they delivered memorable moments. Baby proved that “Freestyle” always hits while Uzi got fans excited for his forthcoming Pink Tape as he showed love to Playboi Carti and claimed he has JT believing in the devil. However, fans still hope that we’ll hear more music from them in the near future if possible.

Lil Uzi Vert Praises Lil Baby

Lil Uzi Vert and Lil Baby both held it down at Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards, where the former actually got slimed. However, on the red carpet before the award show, the rapper caught up with Young Hollywood who asked him who he was most excited to see. “I heard Lil Baby’s going to be here,” he said. Then, the reporter asked what song he’d want to perform with Lil Baby if he had the chance. “He has a lot of great songs, like, I never heard a bad song from Lil Baby in my life ever,” he added. “But we have a song and I would love to perform it with him.”

Lil Uzi Vert and Lil Baby have worked together on a few records in the past. The two linked up on My Turn highlight, “Commercial.” Prior to that, Lil Uzi Vert appeared on Lil Baby’s Harder Than Ever project on the Gunna-assisted, “Life Goes On.” Perhaps, we’ll get to hear more from Lil Baby and Lil Uzi Vert. Though Pink Tape is rumored to be featureless, maybe Uzi will make an exception for Lil Baby since he’s such a fan.

Lil Baby Received Blowback From His ‘California Breeze’ Performance At The 2023 Kids’ Choice Awards

by

The 2023 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards were staged at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Saturday, March 4. Lil Baby avoided getting slimed, unlike fellow performer Bebe Rexha, but a select few viewers were a little green about his performance.

Apparently, Baby’s top-10 Billboard Hot 100 hit “California Breeze” didn’t belong on Nickelodeon because of its explicit and suggestive lyrics, which were censored for the young audience. (How dare Baby perform under inflatable palm trees and bring his two young sons on the stage with him?)

The squealing kids in attendance couldn’t get enough of Baby, but reviews on the internet were mixed. Some people didn’t understand the backlash given The Weeknd’s past controversial nomination for “Can’t Feel My Face,” very obviously about cocaine, at the Kids’ Choice Awards; others didn’t understand how Nickelodeon allowed Baby on its airwaves.

Baby didn’t have time to pay attention to the criticism, as if he’d care anyway, because he also performed across town at Rolling Loud California on Saturday night.

Before this weekend, Lil Baby performed “California Breeze” and “Forever” featuring Fridayy on the January 28 episode of Saturday Night Live hosted by Michael B. Jordan.

Baby dropped his “Forever” video on February 27, squeezing as much juice as possible from last October’s It’s Only Me. His third studio album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, making it his third career No. 1 album.

Bebe Rexha is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Darris Love Arrested On Christmas, Nickelodeon Alum Accused Of Domestic Violence

by

The holidays are a time of cheer for many, however, they can’t go over smoothly in every home across the world. Surprisingly, this holiday season has seen a sudden surge in outbursts from former child stars in particular. Just days after the arrest of Disney star Orlando Brown in Ohio, a former Nickelodeon actor, Darris Love, is facing similar charges.

According to TMZ, The Secret Life of Alex Mack star was arrested on Christmas Eve in Los Angeles. LAPD sources tell the outlet that they went to his home just before noon yesterday (December 24).

Upon arrival, Love’s girlfriend spoke with authorities. Specifically, she told them she was going to the actor’s house to pick some things up. Before leaving, an argument broke out between them. She alleges that her partner hit in in the back of the head. Sources say there were no obvious injuries or visible marks upon closer investigation.

Police spoke with both the man and woman and ultimately, he was arrested and booked for misdemeanour domestic violence.

Love spent approximately 10 hours behind bars. Afterward, he was able to post a $20,000 bond and return to his residence. A rep for The Shield actor hasn’t responded to TMZ‘S request for comment.

Aside from the previously mentioned roles, you may also recognize the 42-year-old from shows like ER, Shameless, CSI, and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Elsewhere in the news, Orlando Brown’s arrest continues to make waves. The That’s So Raven entertainer is under arrest after a domestic dispute a few days ago.

Since then, his victim has come forward as a friend and the director of a film he was cast in. Now, however, the 35-year-old is no longer living with his roommate and boss. Additionally, he would have to enter treatment to earn his spot in the movie back.

Read all about that drama here, and check back later for any updates on Darris Love’s arrest.

Jack Harlow is slowly but surely emerging as one of the big new stars in hip-hop for 2022. Strategic moves like collaborating with Lil Nas X on the No. 1 hit “Industry Baby” and his latest viral single, “First Class,” which samples Fergie’s classic “G.L.A.M.O.R.O.U.S.” have him well on his way to superstardom. With his sophomore album slated to drop in just a few short weeksr oh and the “Nail Tech” in the meantime, Harlow is gaining the kind of momentum that every artist wants to have before an album release.

And tonight, he doubled down on that movement with an appearance at one of the hottest stages — Nickelodeon’s Kid’s Choice Awards. Now, before you want to knock the KCAs, keep in mind, most of the stars we know and love today did their time on the KCA circuit! Kids grow up to be cultural harbingers in just a few short years, so winning them over young can be a key factor for artists like Harlow who are still emerging.

Still, since most of Jack’s recent material is, ahem, fairly explicit, people had thoughts about him performing a medley of his very adult singles for an audience of children. As if that wasn’t enough, Harlow also had the infamous Nickelodeon slime dropped on him, which elicited even more reactions on Twitter. Needless to say, no matter what he does, he gets talked about. Check out a clip of his performance along with some commentary below.
