MSM says Amanda Bynes is "getting better", but still under supervision of a "professional handler".

Things are looking up for troubled starlet Amanda Bynes.

In July Bynes, 27, was placed under a mental health hold at a Los Angeles hospital after her bizarre behavior led medical authorizes to determine that she was a threat to herself and others around her. Now, after three months of intense treatment, it seems she is improving.

The world hasn’t heard a peep from Amanda since she was taken to a mental health hospital and then moved to a rehab facility, but according to a well-placed insider, the troubled actress is now being allowed out the Malibu-area rehab for supervised outings.

“Amanda is being given two passes a week to go the beach, or out to eat and do things like that, accompanied by a professional handler,” a source told FOX411. “She is making great progress.”
