Lindsay Lohan Tweets Bitter Pot Shot At Amanda Bynes
by Sean ComerHey there, Pot. How's the kettle and kids?
Pro Tip, kids: know when to shut up.
Lindsay Lohan apparently has taken the Los Angeles County Court system's handling of former Nickelodeon star Amanda Bynes' wild California joy rides a bit personally. Sunday evening, the star of Bret Easton Ellis' "The Canyons" and Lifetime's Old Hollywood biopic "Liz & Dick" took some select shots at how the legal systems has - or, as she sees it, has not - reined Bynes in after a half-dozen vehicular infractions and incidences of property damage in under six months.
Funny enough, she actually preceded her little tweetin' tirade with a Sept. 14 vocabulary lesson.
a "faux pas" is- An embarrassing or tactless act or remark in a social situation.

Then came Sunday night's tweets. To recap, one-time "She's the Man," "What a Girl Wants" and "Easy A" actress Bynes was again pulled over, but this time, was subjected to having her car impounded. With a license reportedly already suspended since late August with misdemeanor hit-and-run and DUI charges pending, Bynes was pulled over Sunday morning in Burbank and despite being previously let off with a warning days earlier for driving without her headlights and allegedly making another hit-and-run while leaving a parking garage days after that, her luck ran out. She got a ticket and the cops took her car.
She's due in court Sept. 27 to answer to her hit-and-run charges, but the wheels of justice just aren't turning smoothly enough for Judge Lohan.
Why did I get put in jail and a nickelodeon star has had NO punishment(s) so far? +

Set aside just a moment what sounds also like a thinly veiled assertion that her Disney pedigree far trumps Bynes' humbler beginnings as a child/teen star on Nick's "All That" and "The Amanda Show."
No, seriously. Set it aside, because she just makes it more blatant about two tweets later. Instead, let's keep in mind that Lohan served barely a fraction of her own DUI sentence in jail before her release was negotiated and Bynes was (somehow) only recently charged.
These are the moments that I appreciate my life experiences, living without regrets and Disney for supporting me as an actress-nightall*

What's important is that you believe that, Lindsay.
Yes, you couldn't have blossomed into more the flower of even-handed virtue and right-mindedness than you've become, milady. Why, you've turned out as wonderful as that nice Spears girl. Disney would never let its children fall astray. Into debauchery and excess.
Nothing born in the House of Mouse ever goes awry. Nothing, you hear?
