Amanda Bynes, the actress who has starred in family-friendly films such as What a Girl Wants and Hairspray, was probably one of the last celebrities whose mugshot we expected to see.
But there she was, standing in front of a camera after her April 6 morning arrest in West Hollywood. She was nabbed for allegedly driving under the influence and clipping a cop car, TMZ reported, and her photo shows her sporting an interesting dye job that she had tweeted about just last month.
