Amanda Bynes has been released from the psychiatric facility where she's been held for more than 2 weeks and was roaming the Sunset Strip Thursday night ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with Amanda's treatment tell TMZ ... she went before a hearing officer at the psychiatric facility Thursday, asking to be released. Amanda has been on her meds and sounds lucid, even though doctor's say she is seriously mentally ill.

The hearing officer felt Amanda was stable enough that she could NOT be held involuntarily, so he ended the 30-day hold that had been granted last week and Amanda walked out the front door.

Amanda walked down Sunset Blvd., searching for a place to stay. She then went to a diner where she ordered a ton of food which she devoured -- fried chicken, salmon, Caesar salad with guacamole, and a house salad with Italian and ranch. She was chitchatting with the waiter and said she was shy because she had a procedure on her face which required a bandage.

Amanda, who paid with a credit card that did not have her name on it, did not seem "with it," according to the waitress. She would carry on a conversation and then when the waitress walked away, Amanda would mumble to herself.

The waitress tells us ... Amanda complained she lost 20 pounds recently and that's why she was so hungry, but didn't want anyone to see her eat because she'd "look like a fat ass."

Kanye West doesn't fraternize with photogs ... but when one of the guys snapping his pics is wearing a dope sweatshirt -- Yeezus changes his tune.

Mr. West was catching a cab Wednesday in New York City when one of the photogs caught Kanye's eye ... his fashion eye.

Kanye put his trip on pause and snapped a few pics of the sweatshirt.

But maybe the most puzzling thing ... why is Kanye taking a Yellow Cab?

It's a curious pic indeed. Sugar Bear, arm-in-arm with Mama June and Honey Boo Boo.

The pic was taken Wednesday in Milledgeville, GA. It's obvious ... they wanted to be photographed, and June looks especially happy to see the paparazzi.

For June, it's a big deal that it LOOKS like she has an alliance with Sugar Bear, who has been extremely upset that she's been dating convicted child molester Mark McDaniel.

As for Sugar Bear ... he's walking a tightrope. He has no plans to fight June for custody, because his life isn't stable enough to care for Honey Boo Boo. He doesn't even have his own place to live.

Given that he's not fighting for custody ... Sugar Bear needs June because she controls access to their daughter.

Bruce Jenner showed his true colors in Malibu Wednesday.

Bruce 86'd the fire engine red nail polish he sported just a day earlier. It's unclear why ... the polish looked professional and usually lasts a lot longer than a day.

Maybe it was part of a Halloween costume. Or maybe he just wanted it for a day. Lots of maybes.

Bruce Jenner treated himself to a fresh coat for his 65th birthday.

Jenner was tooling around Malibu Tuesday when he lit up a cigarette, revealing the fire engine red nails.

It looks like he nailed up to celebrate the milestone ... his nails were unpainted earlier in the day.

With "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" no more, the production crew showed up at the home of Mama June and took down the lights.

As TMZ first reported, once TLC got wind of Mama June dating a convicted child molester ... the network swiftly pulled the plug on the show.

And now they've pulled the plug literally.

Two Choices: 1) Audrina Patridge got in a blow-out fight after a Halloween party Saturday night ... or 2) she dissolved into tears because her contacts were hurting her and her Uber didn't show.

Audrina and BF Corey Bohan had just left Hyde when she hit the ground and started bawling. Audrina tells us there was no fight -- she was just pissed because it was clear they'd have to wait forever for the Uber and her contacts were uber-uncomfortable.

Well ... we're not buyin' what she's selling. Take a look at the video. Then you decide.

Mama June's new man Mark McDaniel is mum on their rekindled relationship ... but he did have a message for the media ... a message grossly misspelled.

McDaniel posted a note on his door Saturday that reads, "Private Property. No Trepass. No Comment."

TMZ has obtained various pics showing that Mama June is in deep again with the man who molested one of her daughters -- this in the face of her protestations she hasn't seen the guy since his release in March.

Jon Gosselin showed up to his ex-wife Kate Gosselin's yard sale Saturday in Pennsylvania ... which can mean only one thing ... the guy wants to get some of his old junk back.

Kate was selling off old stuff like helmets and car seats with proceeds benefiting the Animal Rescue League ... and apparently J.G. was feeling a bit sentimental.

Here's the problem ... he doesn't have garage sale money anymore.

If Nicki Minaj and her boyfriend are still together, then he's got a weird way of showing the love ... having 2 of his 3 Nicki tats covered up with new ink.

Check out the pics for yourself ... Safaree Samuels had some work done on his chest -- though it's unclear when -- and he clearly covered up Nicki's name/mug.

Not only that, but his forearm ink looks drastically faded as well.

Neither have commented on rumors of their breakup, but Nicki definitely hinted at one back in May when she tweeted "SINGLE N READY TO MINGLE."

At the time, sources told us it was just a temporary argument and that the 2 were still together.

But healthy couples don't typically deface their better half's face, do they?

Man, love hurts.

Dammmmmmmmmmnn .... is pretty much all you can say about Kim Kardashian's ass-entuating outfit for a Sunday afternoon outing with Kanye West.

The couple hit up a theater in Calabasas for a movie date and on the way out Kim proudly displayed her trademark in cutoff jeans and a back-baring top -- then they hit up a Taco Bell drive-thru.

You can tell from the photo ... Kanye gives this rearview two thumbs up. Way up.

Not to be a buzzkill -- but rubbing your bare back on a movie theater seat? Risky business.

Bruce Jenner can't be contained ... well, not by his shirt anyway.

B.J. hit up Starbucks Saturday afternoon in Calabasas after a round of golf, and got all crazy -- untucking his shirt on the way in for a more casual look.

As we previously reported ... Bruce is dating one of Kris Jenner's best friends named Ronda Kamihira -- and we're told his ex-wife has been crying every night over it.

Bruce and his ponytail ... seem okay with the single life.

Kimmy Gibbler is gonna be jealous ... 'cause her best bud DJ ditched her to hit up a yoga class with Aunt Becky.

Candace Cameron Bure and Lori Laughlin were photographed in Vancouver outside a yoga class Saturday -- probably just catching up on their relationships with Steve and Jesse.

Also spotted ... Uncle Joey nearby with Mr. Woodchuck, Danny at home cleaning and Michelle just being cute somewhere.

Bruce Jenner is dating one of Kris Jenner's best friends ... TMZ has confirmed.

Our Jenner sources tell TMZ ... Bruce has hooked up with Ronda Kamihira ... a divorced, 51-year-old mother of 2.

We're told Kris is "extremely upset" that Bruce is dating Ronda, and -- as one source puts it -- "It really stings because Ronda never told Kris she started seeing Bruce."

And get this ... for years Ronda and the Jenners have been neighbors in Hidden Hills, CA, even spending holidays at each other's homes.

The daughters on both sides have become friends. Ronda's daughter, Spencer, took this pic with Kendall and posted it on her Twitter page.

A Jenner source tells us the talk within the family was that Ronda was weirdly becoming "Kris' single white female." The source says Ronda mimicked Kris right down to her hair.

This pic was taken at Staples Center in L.A., when Bruce and Ronda went to Elton John's concert.

And here's how awkward this is ... the pic (above) shows Ronda and Kris on vacation together in Dubai just a few years back.

Oprah Winfrey followed that old adage ... when in Rome, shop your freaking face off and flaunt your overpriced purchases to the peasants.

The Big O hit up Via Condotti (Rome's way snootier version of Rodeo Drive) with her entourage -- including BFF Gayle King ... and proceeded to drop major Euros in Ermanno Scervino.

Oprah walked out loaded down with 4 huge bags from the high fashion store. Gayle had 1 ... but it's all relative, right?

We have a winner in the Swoll-Just-Like-My-Dad sweepstakes -- 'cause Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver's youngest son Christopher is looking like he could pull it off.

The son of the 7-time Mr. Olympia/5-time Mr. Universe is only 17, but he's obviously growing into his Schwarzenegger genes. Christopher even sported a t-shirt from his dad's bodybuilding competition ... while walking with his mom ... looking more like her bodyguard in L.A.

Fun fact: Arnold won his first Mr. Universe title at age 20. Chris, ya still got a few years to beat Dad's mark.
