Jenny McCarthy makes nice with Amanda Bynes after Twitter.com war

Model-turned-TV personality Jenny Mccarthy has reached out to make amends with actress Amanda Bynes after the two stars became embroiled in a nasty war of words on Twitter.com on Thursday (02Apr13).

McCarthy sparked the online confrontation when she went public with a story she'd overheard about an alleged police raid on the Hairspray star's home in New York on Wednesday night (01May13).

The former Playboy pin-up tweeted, "Police are at Amanda Bynes' house. I hope they get her help. Enough of this circus. She needs help."

But she confessed that she wasn't completely convinced her information was correct, adding, "It came from a publicist but if no one can back it up it could be wrong."

And it seems she was ill-advised to tweet the 'breaking news' as Bynes, who has become a tabloid target in recent months thanks to a series of odd tweets and bizarre behavior on the streets of New York, fired back: "@JennyMcCarthy you're ugly! Police weren't at my house old lady! Shut the f**k up! I need help? What are u talking about? Aren't u 50 years old? I'm 27, u look 80 compared to me! Why are you talking about me?"

McCarthy later apologized for spreading the rumor, tweeting, "@AmandaBynes sorry girl. Looking out for ya."

And it appears the two have now made nice - Bynes later added, "@JennyMcCarthy thanks! I'm sorry I offended you! You're beautiful! I was lying! I'll delete our tweets!"
