Police: Amanda Bynes arrested on suspicion of DUIActress Amanda Bynes apparently had a run-in with the law during Friday's early morning hours - literally. The 26-year-old actress allegedly got into a fender-bender with a marked black-and-white cop car that contained a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy, according to a report from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The report says that the officer was stopped at a Hollywood intersection, preparing to turn right about 3 a.m. "when a black BMW driven by...Bynes attempted to pass to the right...colliding with the right rear quarter panel." Both cars suffered minor paint damage and, according to the sheriff's report, police then arrested Bynes on suspicion of driving under the influence and booked her at the West Hollywood Sheriff's station. According to TMZ, her bail has been set at $5,000, and she's reportedly still in custody.

'30 Rock': The self-evaluation of Pete HornbergerOne of the things that makes “30 Rock” consistently excellent is its deep bench of wacky supporting characters. On last night’s episode, Liz and Jack took a back seat to the writing staff and the most under-appreciated character of all: Pete Hornberger. And in typical Hornberger fashion, his moment in the sun was actually a descent into a black hole of self-loathing. Pete’s self-evaluation gave Jack pause (“those look like hands to me!”) when he wrote that his 5-year goal was to stay in the same position.

Friday Top Five: And now, for the newsIf we learned anything this week, it's that 1): more viewers will watch Sarah Palin on "Today" than Katie Couric on "Good Morning America"; and 2) that kind of heated morning show competition could easily be spun into a script. There's a reason why Hollywood often takes an interest in the lives of news anchors, journalists, magazine editors and the like - every workplace has its drama, but it seems the media offers a special breed.
