For the first time since making headlines all summer for her reckless driving and bizarre behavior, Amanda Bynes is speaking to the media. In an interview with People, Bynes says she's "doing amazing." The actress goes on to say: "I am retired as an actor. I am moving to New York to launch my career. I am going to do a fashion line," added Bynes, who was polite, respectful and upbeat on the phone. "I am not talking about being arrested for DUI because I don't drink, and I don't drink and drive. It is all false." But her words seem to convince few. Just the day before Bynes again acted bizarre at a gym where she wore a a strapless push-up bra instead of a sports bra and was seen putting on makeup in the middle of a spinning class. According to TMZ, Bynes' parents have relocated from Texas to LA to be closer to the troubled starlet. But the good news in all of this? At least she's retiring from acting.

E! sources say Khloe is a "huge draw," and as one source put it, "We're definitely in the Khloe Kardashian business." Great, it seems the Kardashian business is also recession proof.

When it comes to singer Rihanna, R Rated is more than just the name of one of her albums. Recently, nude photos of Christina Hendricks, Olivia Munn, and Heather Morris have leaked online due to a phone hacking scandal. When it comes to Rihanna, she doesn't need her phone hacked for some scandalous shots to surface. While leaving a New York restaurant over the weekend, Rihanna was photographed braless while wearing a see-through mesh top, giving the viewing public more than an eyeful. Of course, "shy" would not be a term to describe the singer, especially after her Rolling Stone cover. Well, it now appears, Rihanna didn't mind the racy photos. While taking photos with fans Monday, someone asked if she had seen the topless pics. She replied, "You mean my t*tties?" She then went on to blame the paparazzi's flashes for the see-through shots. If she only had an umbrella.

In an interview with Elle UK, Jon Hamm didn't hold back on his feelings about Kim Kardashian, saying: "Whether it's Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated. Being a f**king idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you're rewarded significantly." Apparently Kim wasn't too happy, firing off a tweet saying, "I just heard about the comment Jon Hamm made about me in an interview. I respect Jon and I am a firm believer that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that not everyone takes the same path in life. We’re all working hard and we all have to respect one another. Calling someone who runs their own businesses, is a part of a successful TV show, produces, writes, designs, and creates, 'stupid,' is in my opinion careless." Kim then proceeded to send multiple tweets talking about her hair ("Blonde hair don't care") and how bored she is ("What's up I'm bored"), accompanied with photos. Thankfully, Mad Men and Don Draper return this month.

As rumors swirl that Kim Kardashian's marriage to Kris Humphries was a hoax, one thing top tabloids can agree on is that the divorce is all Minnesota's fault as Humphries wanted to settle down and live a simple life while Kim, uh, did not.
Other headlines from Hollywood's least-shocking split:
- Signs of trouble first appeared while shooting for Kourtney and Kim Take New York, where the couple needed time apart to "take a break" from each other.
- While the value of her engagement ring may have been cut in half, her iron-clad prenup means Humphries comes away with nothing from the Kardashian empire.
- Speaking of the ring, Kardashian jetted to Australia to promote her line of handbags without it or her wedding ring.
- Etiquette expert Lizzy Post says for any marriage lasting less than 6 months the wedding gifts should be returned. The couple's registry at Geary of Beverly Hills added up to $172 million.
- This whole ridiculous episode has cemented Kim Kardashian's top spot as America's most annoying celebrity.
