Amanda Bynes Reveals She Has Eating Disorder In Twitter Tirade

Days after missing a court date in L.A. earlier this week, Amanda Bynes is fighting her critics. During a Twitter tirade on Thursday night, the actress not only ranted against the media, but also revealed she has an eating disorder.

"I'm suing certain blogs and magazines saying I have a mental illness! They take pictures anytime I've gained weight then write a fake story!" she tweeted late Thursday night. "I have an eating disorder so I have a hard time staying thin. They write a news article about every tweet I write and I hate the pictures they choose. They repeat what I tweet then add a bad photo. Only use photos from my twitter when writing an article about me. I don't read articles written about me unless I give an interview for a magazine. They're fake! Don't trust what u read on sites!"

The Twitter disclosure comes weeks after Bynes stirred up headlines when she tweeted a rather salacious offer to Drake. Since then she's tweeted often, usually about her upcoming clothing and perfume lines, as well as her musings about her romantic life.

Bynes, who celebrated her 27th birthday on Wednesday, also used the social media site to clear up rumors that she's been spotted around New York City recently. Us Weekly reports that a woman who looks uncannily like Bynes was in the Big Apple on her birthday wearing a parka and sandals on a rather cold spring day.

An eyewitness says that "she was blinged out — had on a Cartier Love bracelet and Love ring, a Rolex watch and a ruby-and-diamond ring. I've never seen her with all that stuff on, maybe [it was] a gift for her birthday?"

"My hair is blonde, I've never been a redhead!" she wrote in a tweet that she has since deleted. "Somebody keeps posing as me! Check my photos on Twitter for up to date pictures!"

One day before, in a Burbank court, Bynes was granted a final continuance by a judge in connection with two misdemeanor counts of driving with a suspended license case, E! News reports. A pretrial has been set for May 2 in the case, which has been ongoing since last October.

Chris Brown Reveals What His CBE Label Really Stands For

Chris Brown is ready to take his song and dance to the next level, by cultivating his CBE label roster. And he wants to make sure all of his artists have the same opportunities he had.

"I don't even like to say, 'Yo, they're my artists,' " Brown told us of Sevyn Streeter, pop singer Sabrina Antoinette and rock band U.G.L.Y. "Most of the time you get stuck in a box where people don't give them a shot because they're getting co-signed by another artist. For me all the artists that are signed under me — or that are working with me — are phenomenal."

The label's acronym breaks down to Chris Brown Entertainment, but the multiplatinum singer doesn't want to make it all about him so he has come up with two other meanings behind his imprint: Culture Beyond Your Evolution and/or Culture Beyond Your Experience.

"I always use the metaphors and the different meanings. I like to be weird like that," he said.

Even if his metaphors are weird, Breezy's mentoring techniques make perfect sense. He says his roster has been with him for over a year training on how to become better artists. One training exercise that Brown uses is running on a treadmill while singing to build stamina and breath control. "It's not boot camp, because they want to do it, but it's basically me shaping them so when they hit the road they're ready 100 percent," he explained.

U.G.L.Y. has been releasing music videos online, and Sevyn is currently promoting her latest single "I Like It." The track's dance-filled music video has amassed 1.7 million views on YouTube since being posted in January.

If all goes according to plan, Chris will bless a new generation of artists with a pretty amazing opportunity. "I try to give them the chance that I have. Also just put any knowledge that I have of the industry on to them," he said.
