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.
Mischa Barton walking her dogs in New York (7/31)
Just kidding. She's still
batshit crazy. She actually thinks someone likes her enough to stalk her. From the
New York Post:
Saturday night, Barton was spotted "having a disastrous dinner" with a group of girls at Sant Ambroeus in the West Village. "She was upset and talking frantically into her phone about having a stalker," said our spy. "Her friends were trying to console her, but she went outside and chain-smoked cigarettes."
Mischa needs to look on the bright side. Having voices in your head makes for quite the exciting day. I'm never bored like I was before the "accident." "What's that you say? Light that homeless drifter on fire? OK, sure, if you say so."
Mischa Barton at JFK airport in New York (7/28)
E! Online's Ted Casablanca is claiming that Mischa was
forcibly committed into a mental hospital two weeks ago because she tried to kill herself -- and not in the "if I eat one more piece of cake, I'll just die" kind of way:
Mischa Barton's recent hospital stay was due to "suicidal" actions, claims a source very close to the star's drama. Also, the insider asserts, the attempt may have coincided with Mischa's bosses at the CW's The Beautiful Life deciding they no longer desired her services.
"She tried to kill herself," claims the source close to Barton, who also asserts that Mischa had also been let go—and later rehired—from the soap.
"She was being crazy that day [when she went to Cedars Sinai Medical Center]," says another knowledgeable source, who had direct dealings with Ms. B right before she entered Cedars in Los Angeles, reportedly involuntarily under a psychiatric hold, for "medical reasons."
According to Casablanca, a few of Mischa's friends are claiming that she was committed because she was downtrodden from a tooth ailment. In other news, Mischa Barton's friends are fucking idiots. A tooth ailment? Really? That's the best they could come up with? Why not just say she was downtrodden because someone broke into her house and stole her "Best Actress" Oscar? It would have been just as believable.

Mischa Barton is out Mischa Barton was spotted at JFK last night, the first time she's been seen in public since she was
5150'd a few weeks ago. Interestingly, right after this picture was taken, Mischa smeared fecal matter all over her body and declared that she was Beatrice, Queen of Middle-earth. What a crazy bitch. I'm pretty sure Middle-earth isn't a monarchy.
Mischa Barton out and about in London (4/23)
Mischa Barton has been getting absolutely dumped on in the media since
her breakdown. Check out the last line of this story from the
Chicago Sun Times:
Mischa Barton's spokesfolks continue to say she's recovering nicely from her ''5150'' involuntary psych ward stay -- and still plans to star in the upcoming series ''The Beautiful Life'' on the CW, but that may be up in the air. Sources at the network report the show already is quietly looking for a replacement for Barton if her recovery takes much longer.
"A lot of people around here think her career is pretty much over, like Lindsay Lohan's. ... And, she's not even as talented as Lindsay,'' a show producer zinged.
Not even as talented as
Lindsay Lohan? Ouch. I'd rather hear that both of my parents just died in a horrific explosion at a Chinese acid factory than that. Telling an actress that she's not as talented as Lindsay "I visit Costco every other day to buy more cigarettes" Lohan is like telling an aspiring singer that they're not as talented as William Hung. At this point, if Mischa's ever going to get back on screen, her acting gigs are going to have to be in really pathetic roles: like
reality TV porn the host of
Late Night on NBC.
Mischa Barton out and about in London (5/6)
If a B-list star is
involuntarily committed into a psych ward and no one is around to care, does she still make a tabloid cover? Apparently, no. From the
New York Post:
What's a girl have to do these days to get attention? A high-level magazine editor tells us Mischa Barton's publicist was pushing hard for his recently hospitalized client to land the cover on one of the celebrity weeklies. She didn't. "As sad as Mischa's recent problems are, what seems to be upsetting her representatives even more is that no one really cares," said the editor.
This is a great example of why Hollywood is so fucked up. Mischa Barton gets committed and her publicist is pissed that more tabloids aren't talking about how fucked up her life is. Hell, I live 100 miles from Hollywood and even I'm hoping that California falls into the Pacific Ocean after a huge earthquake. At least I can swim.
"The voices . . . make them go away!" So why exactly did Mischa Barton get
involuntarily committed last week? Actually, I have no clue. I've never even met her. What am I, a doctor? A friend of her's told
People:
"She has big self-esteem issues. ... She hates her legs. She isn't comfortable with her body. It's been a big source of stress and self-hate. She had a big problem with those photos of her cellulite. … She didn't like it. That just was something that contributed to her spiraling but she didn't do much to fix it because of her partying."
While another friend tells PEOPLE the photos upset the former O.C. star - "[She was] more pissed off than hurt and she complained a lot about that" - she didn't let them get "to her too much. ... I never saw her diet."
Now that Mischa's officially gone crazy, perhaps on some level I feel a little guilty for posting
THESE pictures last year. If I'd known that
THESE pictures would cause her so much grief and heartache, I would have never have posted
THEM. It's a sad commentary on our culture when pictures like
THESE can cause impressionable young women to engage in such self-destructive behavior. So in order to help better our society, I hereby pledge that from this day forward, I will never post
THESE absolutely unflattering shots of Mischa Barton's disgusting ass cellulite again. And by
THESE ones, I mean
THESE.
Mischa Barton looks hungry Here's some pics of Mischa Barton at a hotel in LA on Tuesday -- just one day before she was
allegedly committed. I say allegedly because I think some sort of mistake has been made. Why she looks like the picture of mental health. Everything about that face screams, "I can operate heavy machinery unsupervised."
Mischa Barton out and about in Beverly Hills (7/3)
It was
revealed earlier today that Mischa Barton was removed from her home by police yesterday in LA and taken to an undisclosed location.
Access Hollywood is now saying that Mischa was placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold (5150 hold) at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center:
The source claimed that Barton was placed under Section 5150 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code by police and transported to Cedars-Sinai.
According to the code, authorities can hold a person involuntarily if they present a danger to themselves or others, are gravely disabled or suffer from a mental disorder.
A rep for the actress confirmed to Access that Barton will not attend the world premiere of her new film, “Homecoming,” which happens Thursday night in New York City, but released no further details on the star.
Of course this psychiatric hold is the same thing that happened to Britney Spears last year, so Mischa's in good company. Wait, Mischa has millions of dollars in the bank, residuals from four #1 albums to fall back on, and a future, right? No? OK, maybe it's not
exactly the same. But Mischa is inheriting an '89 Ford Taurus from her grandma, so she's got that going for her, which is nice.
