But, you know, without the whole pop icon/career thing. Mischa's been on a pretty obvious downward spiral for awhile - the alleged partying, the yo-yo weight, the cellulite photos and her attachment to that unfortunate hat - those all should have been warning signs. The drinking and drugging (again, allegedly - I wasn't there or anything) has wreaked havoc on her once charming "It Girl" looks. Some beauties, like Sienna Miller or Kate Moss, can get away with a less than healthy lifestyle and still maintain. Others... not so much. I don't know what Mischa's been up to, but shit has officially hit the fan. Details:
[Mischa Barton was placed under an involuntary psychiatric
hold (also known as a 5150) by the Los Angeles Police Department and
transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Wednesday evening, a source close
to the situation claimed to Access Hollywood. On Wednesday, Access broke the news that authorities had
responded to the Los Angeles home of the starlet after receiving a non-911 call
from her residence around 3 p.m. A patrol car responded to the scene and began
assisting Barton with a "medical issue," a spokesperson for the LAPD confirmed
to Access on Wednesday evening. 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. This same code was used to
hold Britney Spears twice in Los Angeles in January 2008.]
She'll be missing the "world premiere" of her new film Homecoming. I think, in fact, most people will be missing the flick since it will likely go straight to DVD after the limited theater release. Regardless, enjoy the clip above and say a little prayer for Mischa's speedy recovery. No one deserves this - even if she did ruin The O.C.
