Amanda Bynes Ditches Wig for Mug Shot

She may be a big fan of posting selfies all over the social media universe, but Amanda Bynes was none-too-pleased with the mug shot taken after her arrest last night (May 23).

The troubled “Hairspray” actress was made to remove her blonde wig before going in front of the camera, and her scowl is proof positive that it wasn’t her call.

Instead of lovely long locks, Bynes had a matted short hairdo as she was taken into custody and remanded at a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.

Amanda had been arrested a few hours prior for throwing a bong out her high rise window when the doorman called the cops and reported she’d been smoking marijuana.

According to a report, the troubled actress was charged with second degree reckless endangerment, unlawful possession of marijuana, and attempted tampering with physical evidence.

Once the judge heard both sides of the case, he released Ms. Bynes on her own recognizance pending her next court date on July 9th.

D.C. Broadcasters Sue Aerokiller for Copyright Infringement

Broadcasters are expanding their legal attack on Aereo-like services that let consumers view broadcast channels on the web without stations getting a retransmission fee payment.

Owners of Washington, D.C., TV stations -- including Fox, NBC, ABC and Albritton Communications -- filed suit in federal district court in Washington on Thursday against Aereokiller and its parent company FilmOn.TV Networks, alleging Aereokiller is engaged in copyright infringement in retransmitting the stations' signals.

"The purpose of this action is to restrain defendants from exploiting without authorization and violating plaintiffs rights in some of the most valuable intellectual rights is some of the most valuable intellectual property created in the United States," says the suit.

Like Aereo, Aereokiller uses thousands of tiny local antennas to gather signals from local TV stations and provide them to subscribers.

Both companies say that because each subscriber has his own antenna, their systems don't retransmit signals, and neither pays the retransmission fees that cable systems pay to offer broadcast channels on their systems.

Aereokiller, which operates in Dallas, San Francisco, Miami, Las Vegas and D.C., is controlled by FilmOn's Alki David, who has filed a suit accusing Aereo's Barry Diller of stealing the ...
