Actress Amanda Bynes was placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold by California sheriff's deputies on Monday night after she set a small fire in a stranger's driveway.

According to Captain Don Aguilar of the Ventura County Sheriff's Department, Bynes was "involved in a disturbance in a residential neighborhood last night in Thousand Oaks." Fire officials responded shortly before 9 p.m. to a report of a gas can on fire in a driveway and after investigating the incident and speaking to Bynes, 27, they determined that she met the criteria for a 5150 psychiatric hold. The homeowners have said that they had no ties to the troubled former child star.

A 5150 order places an individual under a 72-hour involuntary psychiatric hold, during which they are given a mental health evaluation. The order under the section of the California Welfare & Institutions Code allows for the involuntary hold when someone "make[s] statements that they're either a danger to themselves or others, or gravely disabled."

The same provision was used in 2008 on Britney Spears when the singer's erratic behavior sparked concern from family and officials. Aguilar said no medical aid was rendered at the scene and at this time no criminal charges have been made against Bynes.

According to TMZ, Bynes was carrying a "little red gas tank" at the time of the incident, during which she burned some of her clothing. Officials said it did not appear that the former Nickelodeon star's actions were a deliberate attempt to set the house on fire and that there was no damage to the home, ...

Although video-sharing service Vine is replete with shaky, 6-second footage of dogs cavorting and children hamming it up, studded in there — like so many diamonds in a cheap plastic pair of shades — there is genius. And that genius is undoubtedly Riff Raff.

Jody Highroller is a Vine master — serving up 6-second bursts of majesty with every tap of the iPhone screen. From Dada-esque vids featuring Riff screaming, "I have most funza when by SELF!" to opulent displays of swags and snacks, Riff is definitely worth a follow — if you're not already one of his 417,000-plus Vine denizens. You can find him under "Riff Raff" on the app.

"Yeah, I've done a lot of Vines," Riff told MTV News, an unidentified woman by his side. "My personal favorite is the one where I'm in front of the camera and I look good."

The Raffster benevolently took some time out from suing the "Spring Breakers" team and prepping his debut album, Neon Icon, to impart on us some Vine-making tips, including, "You gotta be color-coordinated in all your videos," "Your socks have to match the girl that you're with," and "it doesn't matter what you're doing as long as you look good," leaving us with this sage advice: "Look good, feel good, make a lot of money, eat a lot of lobster."

Don't forget to Vine that lobster-eating, Riff. That has "instant classic" written all over it.

The diverse cast of Marvel's upcoming space epic assembled this weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, making their public debut in front of a giant room of adoring fans. That included recently cast Benicio Del Toro, who told MTV News he was just glad "to get invited."

Del Toro joined up with the three human Guardians — Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, and Zoe Saldana — as well as a few other friends and foes, including Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan and Djimon Hounsou. We caught up with Del Toro following the mega panel, which also featured appearances by Tom Hiddleston as Loki and the star-studded cast of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," and asked the respected actor how he felt when he got cast.

"I just love to get invited, you know?" said Del Toro. "I'm glad I'm invited to be a part of this film. I'm sure Djimon [Hounsou] feels the same way. We're very lucky to be a part of this"

Comic-Con is known for bringing never-before-seen footage of big-budget films to an adoring audience, but fans were still surprised to get a look at "Guardians" so soon. After only two weeks of filming, the audience was given a sneak peek at how the film is coming together. The footage screened at the panel showed Chris Pratt's character Star-Lord being taken prisoner by the intergalactic police force known as the Nova Corps, as well as the first appearance of the film's two all-CGI characters, Rocket Raccoon and Groot.

It may have taken J. Cole a little while, but the self-proclaimed Born Sinner realized he was wrong for making light of those who suffer with autism and issued an apology for his Now, Cole's collaborator Drake has also stepped up and claimed responsibility.

"J.Cole wrote a beautiful and moving apology to individuals and families affected by autism who were understandably hurt by a verse in 'Jodeci Freestyle'. I share responsibility and offer my sincerest apologies for the pain this has caused," the Young Money MC wrote on his October's Very Own blog on Monday night.

Drake released "Jodeci Freestyle" back in June and featured Cole on the track. The song wasn't an official single, but one particularly lyric caught the attention of Autism Speaks, an advocacy organization. "I'm artistic, you n---as is autistic, retarded," Cole spit.

On Monday morning, Cole issued an apology after a petition that collected more than 4,500 signatures. "I do not believe that an apology is needed every time someone is offended, especially when that apology is really only for the sake of saving an endorsement or cleaning up bad press," Cole stated in a letter that he posted on his site. "With that said, this is not the case today. This letter is sincere. This apology IS necessary."

Now Drake vows to remove the controversial line from the song. "Individuals with autism have brilliant and creative minds, and their gifts should not be disparaged or discounted," he said. "This was a learning lesson for both of us, and I'm grateful for the ...

Beyoncé proved why she's the Queen during a Montreal stop on her Mrs. Carter Show world tour Monday night when she gracefully sang through a violent fan encounter.

As she was performing her 2008 hit "Halo," she got a little too close to a wind fan, and her curly locks got caught in the blades. But instead of stopping her performance, the singer pressed on as security guards and crew members stepped in to detangle the superstar from the machine.

Eventually she got unsnarled, and took to Instagram after the show to laugh off the unexpected moment, by re-writing the lyrics to "Halo."

The new version goes, "Gravity can't begin/ To pull me out of this fan again/ I felt my hair was yankin'/ From the fan that's always hatin'." The rewrite of the Ryan Tedder-produced track continued, "Virgin Remy & Malaysian/ Haaaa!/ I got snatched/ 2 snaps/ Goodnight all, B." (Virgin Remy and Malaysian are types of hair.)

It's hardly the first time that Bey has used social media to address tour-related incidents since kicking off the jaunt back in April. That same month, after she postponed a show in Antwerp, Belgium, the singer released a handwritten apology to her BeyHive.

As fans eagerly await news on her highly anticipated new album, Beyoncé's tour will chug along with dates slated right through the end of the year. She will play Boston on Tuesday night (July 23) and hopefully have worked out any and all potential fan snafus before show time.
