Former child star Amanda Bynes was arrested on Thursday evening in New York City, police confirmed to ABC News.

Bynes, 27, was charged with tampering with physical evidence, reckless endangerment and criminal possession of marijuana, NYPD spokesman Det. Brian Sessa told ABC News.

"There was a 911 call at her apartment building that someone was smoking marijuana in the lobby," Sessa said, adding that once police arrived, a building official took them upstairs to her apartment and Bynes let them inside.

"There was a heavy smell of marijuana," Sessa said. "[Then] she took the bong and threw it out the window."

Bynes is still in police custody, according to Sessa.

Bynes, who has previously been charged with DUI, has displayed erratic behavior recently, tweeting provocative photos of herself and dramatically changing her look. However, just last fall, the actress told People magazine that she was "doing amazing," and planning to launch a fashion line.

Vice President Joe Biden made a cameo appearance on Thursday night's episode of "Jeopardy" by providing video clues to a category about the vice presidency.

"Since 1974, the official residence of the vice president has been on the grounds of this astronomical agency of the United States," Biden said.

One of the contestants correctly answered, 'What is the Naval Observatory?"

The vice president also provided the clue for the "Daily Double."

"The vice president is a member of the board of regents of this, 'America's attic,'" Biden said.

The question: What is the Smithsonian?

Biden recited clues about former vice presidents John Adams, John Tyler and John C. Calhoun.

This wasn't the vice president's first appearance on the "Jeopardy" game show. Last year, Biden provided the clues for a category called "Cars in America," which included a plug for the auto bailout - an issue he often touched on during the campaign - and mentioned one of his favorite cars, a Corvette.

A Georgia woman said she is thankful to be alive after a 20-foot section of a 747 cargo plane's wing fell off before part of it came crashing into her home.

Pamela Ware was in her Clayton County, Ga., home Sunday afternoon when she heard a boom from above.

"I was like, 'Huh?'" Ware told local ABC affiliate WSB. "Actually, I hit the floor."

The boom Ware heard was a part of the wing of a China Airlines-operated Boeing 747 cargo plane flying to Atlanta from Anchorage, Alaska. As the plane approached Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, a piece of its right wing tore off, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing, according to WSB.

Part of the ripped debris landed on top of Ware's house, while another chunk of the plane's wing landed a few miles away, in the parking lot of a Walmart.

The plane's debris punctured two holes in Ware's roof before landing in her yard.

"If it had landed in here, because that is just Sheetrock, it would have … oh, boy,

You might think that a costly sunblock would be better at blocking UVA and UVB rays than a store brand at, say, Walgreens. However, according to Consumer Reports' annual sun survey, that's wrong.

In tests of 12 sunscreen lotions and sprays to gauge their effectiveness in protecting against UVA and UVB rays - both of which can cause skin cancer - six sunscreens rated "very good" overall.

Three of the four top-scoring brands came from national chains Target, whose Up and UP Sports SPF 50 had the highest overall score; Walmart, whose Equate Ultra Protection Sunscreen SPF 50 was No. 2; and Walgreens, whose Continuous Spray Sports SPF 50 was No. 4.

Coppertone Water Babies 50 lotion took third place.

Those brands, which guarded against UVB rays before and after 80 minutes underwater and were "very good" against UVA rays, all cost $1.67 or less per ounce.

On Tuesday, JoAnna Garcia and Nick Swisher welcomed their daughter into the world, and now, they're revealing her name: Emerson Jay Swisher.

"We are overjoyed, blessed and so full of love that our daughter Emme has finally arrived," the "Reba" actress and her husband, an outfielder for the Cleveland Indians, told ABC News in a statement. "She is healthy, beautiful and vibrant. It's the best feeling in the world."

Swisher, 32, and Garcia, 33, were married in 2010, and moved to Cleveland, where Emerson was born, in December.

"My wife says, 'You're going to spoil that little girl so much,'" Swisher told Yahoo last week. "I've got a beautiful wife - she's my best friend. I've got a great job and a beautiful home, and now it's time to be a dad."

New Jersey authorities are investigating 29 establishments for serving customers cheaper booze as a substitute for top-shelf liquor, including one that allegedly offered rubbing alcohol and food coloring as scotch.

"This alleged scheme is a dishonest ruse to increase profits, and it is a slap in the face to the consumer," said state Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa in a statement. "Consumers should have the peace of mind of knowing that they will get what they spent their hard-earned money on every single time - no exceptions."

A spokesman for the New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control declined to which establishment served rubbing alcohol, saying it is an ongoing investigation.

Among the 29 licensed bars and restaurants cited for phony booze in the crackdown, dubbed "Operation Swill," are 13 TGI Fridays restaurants throughout New Jersey.

On Tuesday, investigators visited the establishments, inspected the bar areas and seized all opened bottles. About 1,000 bottles

Reported by ABC News' Nichole Smith:

There's no telling what some senior executives will do to support the corporate culture - but a recently surfaced three-year-old video from a nuclear power plant shows executives going where perhaps no executives have gone before.

In full Federation uniforms, several executives and line employees at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, or SONGS, in Pendleton, Calif., made a spoof "Star Trek" video called "SONGS TREK" right inside the nuclear station's training facility, reported ABC's San Diego affiliate KGTV.

The video spoof was supported by those at the very top.

San Onofre's then-chief nuclear officer Ross Ridenoure took the starring role as Capt. James T. Kirk, with San Onofre's current vice president and station manager Doug Bauder playing one of the crew members.

And no "Star Trek" detail was spared as a rather imperious Dr. Spock appeared, sporting full make-up and an arched set of
