6th June 2012 Celebrity Trending - Amanda Bynes , Queen Latifah, Lindsay Lohan

Amanda Bynes is taking her DUI case straight to the Commander in Chief. On Tuesday, the 26-year-old "What I Like About You" actress was formally charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs following an April 6 run-in with a cop car. E! News reports that Bynes is also accused of refusing a police officer's request to complete a chemical test to determine what substances were in her system. But Bynes isn't going to take her charges lying down. After being charged, she Tweeted President Barack Obama to plead her case. "Hey @BarackObama... I don't drink. Please fire the cop who arrested me," she wrote in a tweet to the President's re-election campaign Twitter account. "I also don't hit and run. The end." About a month after her her April 6 incident, Bynes was involved in an alleged hit-and-run in Hollywood, according to TMZ. She sideswiped another vehicle while she was trying to pass on the right in her Range Rover SUV. Though the actress continued driving after making contact, she reportedly cooperated with police when they caught up with her, telling authorities she didn't realize she had struck the other car. An arraignment for Bynes' DUI case is scheduled for Wednesday morning; because it is a misdemeanor charge, only her lawyer is expected in court.

While filming one of her first scenes Monday for the Lifetime movie, Liz & Dick, Lindsay Lohan had a wardrobe malfunction similar to Janet Jackson’s except it wasn’t aired live. The paparazzi were on location, as usual, to capture Lindsay’s first comeback. In the movie, Lohan, 25, plays Elizabeth Taylor and True Blood star Grant Bowler, 43, plays Richard Burton, who Taylor married and divorced twice. The scene in which the incident happened was aboard a boat in Marina Del Rey, CA. The location is supposed to represent the Bay of Naples in Italy, a place where the famous couple vacationed. Her wardrobe malfunction happened after she was trying to push Bowler away from her in a dramatic fight scene. If LiLo wasn’t wearing a low-cut revealing dress, her left breast wouldn’t have popped out. The New York Post reports that Lohan looked angry and was terrified that it happened. Afterwards, she went inside the boat to readjust her dress and came out laughing. Executive Producer, Larry Thompson told E! News, “A little first-day jitters for everyone, but it went well.” He also said Lindsay was in a good mood. Last month Thompson told E! News what Lohan's and Bowler's first reading was like: “The chemistry exploded...It was just Fourth of July firecrackers going off in the room.” Hopefully their chemistry will be reflected on-screen when Liz and Dick premieres on Lifetime in November.

Queen Latifah made a recent appearance at the LGBT Pride Festival in Long Beach California and this led to numerous suppositions in relation to her sexual orientation. According to Entertainment Weekly, the singer released a statement after the parade to explain people that being part of a gay parade doesn’t necessarily make you gay. A lot of discussions have been made in relation to Queen Latifah’s sexuality ever since she first started her musical career. The “U.N.I.T.Y” interpreter never made any explicit declarations because she prefers to keep her personal life away from the prying eyes of the media. Despite this, her recent appearance at the LGBT Pride Festival in Long Beach, California was described by many as an indirect confession of her lesbian orientation. Queen Latifah issued a statement after the parade telling people that she doesn’t think one needs to be gay to support homosexual parades. As to her orientation, the singer reminded everyone that she never liked discussing her private life with the public and it’s not her intention to do it in the future, either. The interpreter further explained that she likes gay parades because she considers them to be incredibly fun. As a matter of fact, Latifah’s first concert was in a gay club. The New Year’s Eve concert which was hosted in San Francisco enabled the artist to gain $10,000. In her opinion, the best weapon people have to fight against all the hatred and bullying is to love each other. This is why Latifah showed up on stage during the Long Beach parade. Even after the Tuesday statement there are fans who still consider that Latifah is gay and needs to come out of the closet. At the opposite end, however, there are people who defend the singer telling everyone that she has the right to keep her sexual orientations private, no matter what these may be. Other fans have taken to the Twitterverse to tell Latifah that they would still admire her whether she were gay or not.
