Amanda Bynes is now dating *The Hills* star Doug Reinhardt, reported E! Online. The couple was spotted leaving the Crown Bar in Hollywood Wednesday night. Reinhardt is a baseball player who gained fame by dating Lauren Conrad on *The Hills*. According to the Biography section of his personal Web site, "Doug Reinhardt is a gentleman with a strong drive for success in all aspects of his life." Amanda Bynes is currently working on an online petition to reduce domestic abuse. A representative for Bynes told *Life and Style* that the couple have been dating a few weeks and are "very happy."  
  
According to a source on E! Online, the couple met at the L.A. nightspot, Teddy's, right before Thanksgiving. The source also said that Bynes has also been staying at Reinhardt's place every night since they met, but hastily stated that there is nothing sexual going on: "They haven't had sex. And she doesn't drink. She is kind of funny in a nerdy way."
