Mischa Barton on the set of The Beautiful Life in Manhattan (8/10)

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher are doing their best to aid in the recovery of Misha Barton . . . and by "doing their best" I mean "taking advantage of." They're trying to convert the suicidal actress to their magical string religion. From the National Enquirer:

"Demi and Ashton both feel Mischa has an incredible career ahead of her if she can free herself from her demons of poor self-esteem and substance abuse," said a source.

The couple believes the teaching of Kabbalah can help Mischa, the source said, adding that both Demi and Ashton generously reached out to Mischa's family to offer their assistance. Ashton feels particularly responsible for Mischa because he's overseeing the production of her new series, "The Beautiful Life," in which she plays an aging model. Her personally selected her for the role. According to an insider, Ashton learned of Mischa's sorry state when they filmed the pilot in Canada several months ago.

"Mischa was seen several times sobbing to a friend on her cell phone," confided the insider. "Demi told Ashton they had to do something to help."

You mean a whacked-out, pseudo-cult thinks an emotionally-damaged person might be a good fit for their organization? The hell you say! At this point Mischa might as well save herself the time/hassle and just join Kabbalah. Because if she doesn't become a member of that sect, there's a good chance she'll find herself joining the cult of another group that's apparently taken over Hollywood: Scientology Judd Apatow.
