Amanda Bynes departs Manhattan Central Booking Friday after being arrested reckless endangerment, tampering with evidence and criminal possession of marijuana. Photo: Alo Ceballos/Getty ImagesAmanda Bynes is having another bad week. What started with her rejection from a private jet (no ID) has ended with her arrest for allegedly acting reckless and tossing a bong out of her New York City apartment window, and making a disturbed-looking appearance in court Friday. What happened in between—having pics of her messy pad appear in In Touch Weekly, which she has threatened to sue over the “fake photos”—hasn’t helped matters.

But there’s one thing that might help, if just a little: her adoring Twitter fan base, which refers to Bynes as “Queen,” enjoys Photoshopping her image into wacky collages, and has been busy defending the troubled actor like mad. Check it out:

Happiness interview: Lisa Takeuchi Cullen (@lisacullen).

I met Lisa through a writers' group; oh, how I love to belong to groups. She's a woman of many writing talents-journalism, fiction, TV-writing (in fact, did a pilot for CBS this season)-and I couldn't wait to read her new novel.

And it doesn't disappoint. Pastors' Wives is utterly absorbing, and a fascinating look at a particular world, and several engaging characters. I couldn't put it down.

Happiness is a major theme of the book, so I was very curious to hear what Lisa had to say.

Gretchen: What's a simple activity that consistently makes you happier?

Lisa: I talk to my sister every day on the phone. We're twelve months and two weeks apart in age, and growing up we shared a bedroom, Jordache jeans, and AquaNet hairspray (but never boyfriends…that would be weird). After college we roomed together in New York City, and after we got married, we bought houses eight miles apart in New Jersey. But with kids and

Being a java junkie may actually be good for you.It turns out that being a java junkie may actually be good for you. Here, 4 ways coffee and caffeine boost your health.

1. Lowers your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease
Researchers in Florida found that older people with the highest levels of caffeine in their blood were more likely to avoid the disease in the years to come. The magic dose: three cups of the brewed beverage daily. Caffeine may block brain inflammation, say University of Illinois researchers, which could explain the protective effect.

2. Protects you from cancer
In one study, caffeine-fed mice developed 27 percent fewer skin cancers after being exposed to ultraviolet rays than sun-exposed mice who didn't get the jolt. Exercising boosted the effect - the combo led to 62 percent fewer tumors (and the ones they did get were smaller). Researchers think the findings will translate to humans, but warn even the biggest coffee drinkers not to ditch the sunscreen. Another study found that coffee drinkers who averaged 4

Few of us love our thighs, but many of us would agree that Jennifer Aniston has an enviable set and a pair of the best pins in Hollywood.

She achieves these slim and toned legs by targeting her inner and outer thighs when she exercises. And as part of OK!'s 12 Week Countdown to Summer, Circuit Works trainer Mariko Virchis is showing us how we can achieve the same results.

Thighs are a large muscle so they need additional resistance training to burn calories and tone the muscle. This workout gives you a little bonus in each exercise so you can quickly get on your way to glam gams.

Exercise #1: Power Squat
. Stand up straight with feet hip distance apart. Place a ball (if you don't have a ball use a rolled up towel) between your thighs just above your knees. Squat like your sitting in a chair and squeeze your thighs together. At the lowest point of your squat, pulse the move three time before retuning to standing. Do 15 reps.

Exercise #2: Side Lunge Sweep
. Start with

The couple, who live in Lowestoft, in the English county of Suffolk, have been dating for almost nine years since they met at a nightclub, but they say they have only been seriously body building for four months. In that time, they've won a total of three trophies at the Miami Pro World Championships held in April in Hertfordshire, England, beating out more than 200 other contestants. They're the first couple to win world championship honors at the same bodybuilding event—Akim won two awards for male Muscle Model and male Fitness Model, and Beckett won for Ms. Bikini.

It all started with an assignment from my editor at FITNESS: Get out and try the naked yoga trend, in which regular people strip down to nothing and do yoga as a way of becoming more accepting of their bodies. Or...something like that.

"Why me?" I asked.

"Because you're the last person who would normally do it," my editor replied. (She's right. I don't even like to change in front of other women in the gym locker room.) Surprisingly, I didn't instantly shoot down the idea, and that had nothing to do with the possible paycheck. At 32, getting naked in a room full of strangers wasn't high on my bucket list, but this was a chance to see how

Parents Who Smoke Have Children With Agression IssuesParents, why are you still smoking?

You have kids -- you are supposed to feel unconditional love. You would fly yourself in front of a speeding train to save their life, even if it meant sacrificing your own. Yet because of a selfish habit, you are slowly killing your children.

Why?

The repeated excuses are usually "I only smoke outside the house," or "I never smoke around them," or "I'm trying to quit."

Here's another reason to get that quitting regimen up to a faster speed: children of parents who smoke are more aggressive.

Scientists at the University of Montreal have presented findings that show exposure to even minimal amounts of secondhand smoke will lead to aggressive and antisocial behavior in children.

"What we have to do is consider the fact that environmental smoke doesn't go away. Children live and play in environmental smoke and at the same time, young children are being exposed at a critical time period of brain development. Putting all of that

medIn case you needed yet another reason to kick low-fat diets to the curb, a new study shows that following a Mediterranean diet that emphasizes healthy fats can maintain brain health better than a low fat diet.

The Mediterranean diet is exactly what it sounds like: a diet modeled after the typical diet of those that live in the Mediterranean, where heart disease rates are low and longevity is high. The diet emphasizes healthy fats from olive oil and nuts. The Mediterranean diet encourages high consumption of fruits, vegetables, and fish, as well a lower intake of dairy and red meat. Red wine is allowed and encouraged, in moderation. {That alone may be enough to sign me up.}
