Amanda Bynes moves to NYC: report

At least there are plenty of public transportation options in the city.

Troubled starlet Amanda Bynes has decided to make a permanent move from Los Angeles to the Big Apple so she can begin “her new life as a fashion designer,” RadarOnline reported.

The cross-country move may be wise as the former teen star is facing five criminal charges in Los Angeles, including a DUI, two hit-and-runs and two counts of driving on a suspended license.

A source tells the gossip site that Bynes “doesn’t feel the need to stay in Los Angeles anymore since she can’t drive.” Fair enough.

“Amanda isn’t required to be in court so she has gone to New York City, and says she plans on making it a permanent move. Amanda is adamant that she is retired from acting and wants to begin a new life in New York as a fashion designer. Amanda thinks she can live a more normal life on the East Coast and won’t be hounded by the paps,” the source added.

Additionally, witnesses tell TMZ that the “Easy A” actress was already spotted wandering around Midtown for hours on Saturday.

Her friends believe she “NEVER wants to come to back to L.A.” alleges the site.

Bynes recently told People, “I am doing amazing… I am retired as an actor. I am moving to New York to launch my career. I am going to do a fashion line.”
