Amanda Bynes Psychiatric Hold Extended Two Weeks

Amanda Bynes is set to spend at least another two weeks in a psychiatric treatment facility in California, after an order keeping her there was extended.

The wayward former child star was forcibly admitted to the rehab centre on Friday after being lured there by concerned friends and family.

And now E! News reports that the 5150 order has been extended, meaning she'll be staying at the Las Encinas Hospital for a couple more weeks at a minimum.

Bynes was originally placed on psychiatric hold last year, and later released to her parents under a conservatorship.

But once that expired she appeared to have gone off the rails again, with an arrest for suspected DUI and claims of drug taking before attending college.
