Rachel Bilson SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2014 Amanda Bynes caught sleeping in a shopping mall he troubled star was spotted snoozing on a sofa at the Beverly Centre in Los Angeles Tbefore taking to Twitter to claim she couldn’t afford a hotel. She wrote after photo- graphs of her emerged taking a very public nap in the busy shopping mall: “I was not given money for a hotel so I have been staying with friends and I didn’t get enough sleep last night so I fell asleep on a couch @ the Beverly center and a paparazzi snuck in and took pic- tures of me.” The 28-year-old actress blamed her parents Lynn and Rick Bynes - who have been granted a conservatorship over their daughter - for not giving her enough money to find proper accommodation. She said: “FYI! I hate my parents for still not giving me money for a hotel. What is wrong with them? My lawyer is working to have them fully removed from being my conservator, because they don’t deserve control over my money - They are miser- able in their life and I will fight to get control of my finances taken away from them!” The news follows reports that Amanda’s mother is planning to step down as conservator of the ‘Easy A’ actress’ finances. Amanda’s conservatorship attorney David Esquibias recently revealed her financial affairs are to be put in the charge of an unnamed private trust firm, in order to make them more accessible to the actress. According to E! News, her parents - who are said to have decided to move away from California in order to be close to their other daughter are hoping that transferring the role will help repair their relationship with Amanda.

A source previously said: “She’s so excited to be having a baby girl “She’s wanted it for a long time and is going to be an amazing Lamar Odom ready to divorce Khloe Kardashian mom. Everyone is ecstatic for her.” he former NBA player - who split from Khloe, 30, last TDecember - is reportedly ready to sign the legal docu- ments ending their marriage when instructed to do so by the ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ star. Despite filing court papers to dissolve her four-year marriage to Lamar, 34, after months of rumors he was addicted to cocaine and cheated on her with multiple women, the brunette beauty is yet to make “a move” and push for the proceedings to go ahead. A source told HollywoodLife.com: “He’s not hiding from Khloe. She could make it official today. All she has to do is tell him and he will make it happen. But that conversation ain’t happened.” Lamar - who has previously been accused of refusing to sign the divorce papers in the hopes of repairing their marriage - is still keen for a reconciliation with Khloe but insists he is happy for the divorce to go ahead if its what she wants. The source said: “Khloe knows where he is. She just hasn’t made a move or told him flat out what she wants to do. Lamar wants her with him but only if she wants to be. It’s got to be mutual. If not, he’s cool with letting her go for good.” The claims are a stark contrast to earlier this year when it was reported the reality TV star couldn’t even get in contact with her estranged spouse. Sources said at the time: “Khloé can’t even get in touch with him right now. “He refuses to sign the divorce papers.”.
