See Amanda Bynes’s Mug Shot

05/24/2013 at 04:15 PM EDT

Amanda Bynes is almost unrecognizable in photos of her arrest Thursday night and her subsequent appearance in court on Friday, thanks to the unkempt platinum blonde wig she’s wearing.

So what’s under all that hair?

Although the NYPD is not releasing a mug shot, a police officer who was escorting Bynes, 27, to her court appearance was holding paperwork, including a photo of the former child star without the wig – and her hair is super short.

Bynes was arrested at her New York apartment Thursday and booked for possession of marijuana, tampering with evidence and reckless endangerment after allegedly throwing a bong out of her 36th-floor window.

In court, her lawyer, Andrew Friedman, said his client denies throwing a bong out of a window and claims the police illegally followed her into her apartment.

Judge Neil Ross, of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, denied a prosecutor’s request for bail and Bynes was released.

Ross did tell Bynes if she gets arrested again, or fails to return to court for her next appearance, which the judge set for July 9, he is going to “set a significant bail.”

Seraphina & Samuel Affleck: Biking Duo

Seraphina and Samuel Affleck went biking with their grandmother Patricia in Cleveland, Ohio on Thursday (May 23). The kids are in town because Jennifer Garner is filming her new movie Draft Day there.

Seraphina, 4, pedaled away on her training wheels while her 1-year-old brother was in a bike seat.

Last weekend Jennifer jumped into husband Ben Affleck’s opening monologue on Saturday Night Live. While the Argo director was explaining his Oscar speech comments on their marriage as being work – the mom-of-three went on stage to “disaprove the naysayers.”

Ben said, “We’ve worked together on our marriage. And then some uncharitable souls on the Internet took that to meant our marriage was some kind of manual labor. No, that’s not it. You define what’s important to you by what you dedicate your time to. And my wife knew exactly what I meant.”

Jennifer added, “It’s a way we talk privately about how committed we are to our marriage. Not sure why you had to share that live to a billion people, but …I would have said thank you to my wife. Our marriage is a GIFT!”

She went on to say, “If we’re going to be completely honest here, why don’t we mention who does all of the work?”

“That’s too inside,” said Ben. “The people don’t want to hear that!”

Alison Sweeney Talks New Novel & Being A ‘Parent In Charge’

3056alison 500x422 Alison Sweeney Talks New Novel & Being A ‘Parent In Charge’

As if The Biggest Loser host Alison Sweeney wasn’t busy enough, she decided to make her foray into fiction with her first novel, The Star Attraction, which published earlier this week. The novel is about a Hollywood publicist who risks her fabulous job and happy relationship when she hooks up with a sexy client.

The mom-of-two chatted with Cupid’s Pulse about her new novel, fitness routine, and life with her two children, Ben, 8, and Megan, 4.

On the inspiration for her novel: “My best friend is a publicist, so that was certainly the inspiration for writing about that perspective of the industry. Plus, I have a lot of personal stories that contributed to the red carpet scenes in the book.”

On ways people can take control of their weight: “I encourage you to schedule time in your calendar to work out and to plan your food ahead time, so you’re not scrambling when you’re starving. Prepare healthy snacks and meals to get you through your day.”

On her fitness routine: “I run and ride my bike (both outside and at spin class). I try to complete a good cardio workout at least four times a week, and then, at least once a week, I do circuit training with weights.”

On what is important to her as a parent: “Manners and structure are really important to us. We’re the parents, and we’re in charge. We don’t take a lot of sass from our kids, but we love them so much, and they know that.”

Carrie Underwood, Other Stars Give to Oklahoma Relief Efforts

05/24/2013 at 03:15 PM EDT

Oklahoma’s star contingent is showing its love for the victims of the recent deadly tornado that killed 24 people and injured 240.

Among the many generous showbiz names is Carrie Underwood, who on Thursday announced a $1 million donation to the Red Cross from her “Blown Away” tour’s concert receipts.

“I have watched the devastation in my home state of Oklahoma over the past several days with great sadness,” Underwood said in a statement. “With the help of my fans who attended my concerts over the past year, we can offer the Red Cross a little extra help in comforting those affected by the recent tornados.”

She’s not alone in the million-dollar club, with Oklahoma City Thunder star forward Kevin Durant making a similar gift to Red Cross relief efforts through his own foundation, the Associated Press reports. His team is also kicking in another $1 million.

“As the day went on and I saw the footage and the casualties and the houses being blown away, it was tough to see,” said Durant, who was out of state when the storm occurred. “I call Oklahoma City my home. I go through Moore all the time. It’s unfortunate. We’re going to come together as a city like we always do and we’re going to bounce back.”

Blake Shelton, who lives with Miranda Lambert live in nearby Ada, Okla., announced a benefit concert to air live on NBC, where he serves as a coach on The Voice, the Oklahoman reports. “Healing in the Heartland” is set for May 29 at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.

Also considering a fundraising concert is Moore, Okla., native Toby Keith, whose name appears on the small town’s water tower.

Oklahoma natives Olivia Munn and Kristin Chenoweth took to Twitter to encourage support for residents – Chenoweth through her Maddie’s Corner charity, promoting T-shirt sales to help displaced animals.

Several country stars, including Rascal Flatts’ Joe Don Rooney, Reba McEntire, Bryan White and Trisha Yearwood, who lives in the state with her husband Garth Brooks, also Tweeted messages of support.
