Jul 16 2009Mischa Barton committed to psych ward


Mischa Barton was placed on involuntary psychiatric hold at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center yesterday, according to People:

On Wednesday, Barton called police at 3 p.m. with a health problem, LAPD Officer April Harding confirmed to PEOPLE. "We assisted her with a medical issue and removed her from her home," says Harding. She adds that no paramedics were involved and no arrests were made, but confidentiality laws prevent her from revealing details about Barton's condition.
The star's rep, Craig Schneider, tells PEOPLE that police were only needed to protect the former O.C. star from the media as she was transported to her doctor.

Jesus. I wonder what made her snap. I mean, besides looking in the mirror and realizing "Holy shit, I'm Mischa Barton! NOOOO!"

First!! you loosers!!

sweet teeth

I see dead people.

When I hear the name Mischa Barton I just close my eyes and imagine her from her O.C. days. Prettiest damn girl in the world.

Touch my monkey.

One of her assistants accidentally let Mischa see her cellulite in the mirror.

(sigh) it's losers. L-o-s-e-r-s.

Unless you were describing Mischa's teeth, they look like they are ready to fall out.

TopCat--LOSERS, douche

How old is she?!... She looks like she is approaching 40!

Pic#3

Smbdy: What a beautiful pet!!!

Mischa: oh, thank you!!

Smbdy: I'm asking the dog...

#5-- D E I T E R, douche

ouch!!

She's English, that's why she has those horrible teeth.

Wow she is in some serious need of teeth whitening among her other issues.

seriously I know a couple of people who have had "similiar" situations and it was because they were smoking crystal Meth so that is my guess....she is smoking meth and is hallucinating and couldn't take it anymore.....maybe I am wrong but I bet not.....

She has beautiful tits.

If I was the EMT responding to this call, I'd grope her for about 5 mintues and then 5150 her.

It sounds like she tried to kill herself, if I had to guess. "Medical issue," and the fact she was involuntary admitted.

It is virtually impossible to be put into a mental hospital in Los Angeles INVOULANTARY, so she must really be a lunatic.

In fact, the chances of winning the super lotto are better than being committed to a Los Angeles mental hospital because someone has to die before there is any room, and that is why folks -- all the nuts, crazies, drugged out celebrities, and other felons are out walking the streets of LA. And, duh!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is also why your whole city is bankrupt, and you all have to walk around hanging your heads in shame to hide the fact that you are from LA when you leave the city.

Jeez, Mischa, living on ice chips, celery, diet Coke and inhaling the aroma of other peoples Mickey D's happy meals was working, we get it. But you're SUPPOSED to eat food. It's nothing to go psycho over, self loathing yourself into a suicide solution. Have some chili cheese fries, a cheeseburger and a thick black and white milkshake. Eating doesn't make you a bad person. BUT GETTING FAT DOES! SO LAY OFF THE FOOD AND GET BACK ON YOUR DIET! Oh, and about the suicide attempt. If you do decide to checkout of the "Hotel California," get it on tape. Yeah, we want to see it. We're terrible like that.

What a dog. I'm not talking about that Dachshund. That one looks pretty cute.

I think you people are being a bit severe.
Best of luck to her...
....well ok - I never did see the show.....

good lawdy those chicklets r nasty. all that sweet OC money couldnt buy this bitch some white strips?

I wish her well.

Is it me or does Mischa Barton now look like a female version of Elijah Wood?!

Ivanka Trump is engaged!!!!! Via Twitter.

She was about 16 when she got famous from the O.C., so it goes to show that people who make it, young, are more susceptible to going insane from it all than those who break in earlier. I feel sorry for her like I feel sorry for LiLo. Money and fame can't buy happiness.

Is this what Blake Lively is going to turn into? Seriously, think about it. Blake Lively is the new Mischa Barton and Leighton Meester is the new Rachel Bilson.

I could have called this months ago looking at pictures where she looks like a human skeleton. For this to happen she either had to be an extreme danger to herself or those that chose to admit her.

There's nothing wrong with her teeth you dentistry obsessed American wankers. What good is having pearly white teeth when you're rotting away on the inside and devoid of personality like you fucks? Sorry but for some reason I have a strong urge to bash Americans tonight, it might have something to do with the program I watched on Hiroshima and Nagasaki last night you evil A bomb dropping bastards. I hope Obama butt rapes you all!

My God, what the fuck happened to her? She used to like somewhat attractive but this looks like she's been held up in her home with the DIY Courtney Love transformation kit. Good luck though Mischa.

shaved head or gtfo.

There's nothing wrong with her teeth, unless you compare them to her teeth last year:

and in 2005:

That ain't normal wear and ageing. Neither is what's happening to the rest of her face.


Anyone else think she looks like a cracked-out Goldie Hawn??

Good thing I tapped that ass while it was still hot.

What's with the pictures of Elijah Wood in a dress? .... oh shit.

blp-- Please settle down and eat your spotted dick before I put my toad in your hole, you wanker.

my god she is going to be one ugly old hag in about 20 years

# 39 -

I think you may need glasses because she already is an ugly, old hag.

She just another stupid "Foreigner." Go back to where you came from, you brat!

maybe she just had some red kool-aid right before they took that pic..u never know.. but her teeth are one shade darker than her skin and her makeup makes her look like a clown. basically she looks like shit these days.

maybe pepsi can set her hair on fire and revive her career.

Pond Queen, if anyone is stupid and should take a hike, it's you. Get lost, idiot. We are all "foreigners" of some degree if you live in the US. I really hate ignorant people like you who have nothing better to do than make ridiculous statements. does it add meaning to your life? I home there's SOME purpose for it...

I'd like to bang me some crazy chick!

Pukers...

Yikes...I didn't even recognize her. She used to be so beautiful...and that was only like 2 years ago!

Why am I not surprised?

No, really? Why?

i don't like the drugs but the drugs like me.......

METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH METH

Those teeth are a nice shade of yellow. WTF

yep, #50 is right: Meth Teeth.

#31 blp, you sodding cunt, find a British civilian who managed to survive Changi Prison and see if they share your viewpoint.

...and then we BLEND the eyeliner.

involuntary psychiatric hold is code for suicide attempt. in california if you attempt suicide you are placed in psychiatric care for 72 hours.

Probably an eating disorder. Don't people with out-of-control eating disorders sometimes get put in the psychiatric ward?

Oops! No paramedics? Then I got nothing. I don't know. Maybe #55 is right with suicide?

WHO THE HELL TOOK THESE PHOTOS OF ME CROSSDRESSING????

meth is too gross. probably uppers, downers and booze. as for her suicide attempt? she maybe thought getting skinny would make her happy. sorry baby girl. your just like the rest of us ordinary people.

sad sad sad. when it comes to suicide, does the blog audience have no heart?

No amount of medical attention can scrape the ugly off of this beeotch.

It's no wonder she had a nervous break down.....with sites like this and asshole Perez, picking her apart over the stupidest shit day after day...it was bound to happen.

Imagine if YOU were ripped to shreds 24/7 over the most mundane things. She started acting as a young girl, probably thought that was going to be a great part of her life and than Blam-O she's put under asinine scrutiny by the likes of TMZ. Are you to tell me you all were perfect little angels as teens and young adults? I doubt it...

You couldn't pay me enough to be a celebrity these days...fame destroys.

Hey # 31: You are welcome we saved your asses in WW2, otherwise you would be speaking kraut right now. Ungrateful pastie...

this is just PR stunt! wake up people!!!. her new movie comes out today "Homecoming" about a obsessed girl still in love with her ex. as soon as i found out about the movie coming out today, and this incident that happened just a day or so ago i TOTALLY realized PR stunt!! so typical Hollywood.

64. Henry

I doubt that....this is not something to be proud of.

#62 - Cry me a fucking river. Most of these celebridouches have their publicists tip off the papsmears when they're going to walk their dogs or buy milk. Odd how some celebs stay out of the spotlight, isn't it? Now, go weep into your commemorative edition OC beach towel.

They shouldve commit this chick since she took a stroll with menzie stains in her sweatpants....kinda feel sorry for this broad!

66. RichPort's Ghost

I'm not a fan of the OC and I'm not crying a "fucking river". I just commented on the way gossip sites can rip someone to shreds for the most stupid shit and how it's sad that these young stars are over before they even get a chance.

You're a fucking asshole, but I bet you already know that....I'm sure you're called a douche bag on a regular basis.

Hey BIP ( who is british ) KISS MY AMERICAN ASS YOU BITCH. IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE AMERICAN SERVICE MEN AND WOMAN YOU BIG MOUTH WOULD NOT BE RUNNIG. TAKE A FUCKING SHOWER YOU STINKING ASS FISH SUCKING CRY BABBY.

AS FOR MISS BARTON, SHE PROBALY GOT HER FUCKING METH PROBLEM OVER THERE WITH THE REST OF YOU ASSHOLE. PISS OFF

#68 - Do you kiss your mother with that mouth? Seriously sweetheart, if you want to change the world and engage in social commentary, you're more out of place than a Black man at a Klan rally. And most people call me sir, though I'd gamble most people who tell you'd they'd call the next day, don't.

ghost- I DO NOT NORMALLY SPEAK IN SUCH A MANNER BUT WHEN IT COMES TO ASSHOLES BRITISH OR ANYTHING ELSE, BASHING AMERICANS WHO SERVED IN WORLD WAR 2, I GET PISSED. AS FOR MY MOTHER, SHE IS GONE. SHE DIED DURING THE WAR. SIR.

73. RichPort's Ghost

LOL, you have nerve to comment on my "mouth" when you're the one who started it with, "Cry me a FUCKING river".....you're not only a douche bag, you're also a giant hypocrite. And you're not funny with your stupid little analogy.

# 71 GANDO,

IF IT WAS ME YOU WERE POSTING ABOUT, I HAVE RECOVERED. FEEL SO MUCH BETTER NOW.

#75 - Most things, like irony and originality, are lost on you, aren't they? You must be great fun at parties... for the deaf.

Quick there's another Mischa post! RUN!!!

@26 - i wanted to comment that why is elijah wood wearing a wig... great observation.

#77

Yawn......

#79 - Opening wide for me I see... thanks but like the "Let's Pick an STD" game show, I'll pass, thanks...

There should be some kind of warning that confirms you want to view ugly before pics like that pop up

there it is young men all over the world, know whats your getting yourself into when you get involved with a ukranian/russian bitch in this world. They make look good at 15-21 but after that they make their gradual descent into the babushka realm. Don't fall for the trap!

here's the thing though. before the O.C., mischa was a very respected child actress. ever see Lawn Dogs starring her and Samuel Rockwell? it's a beautiful indie film about ppl that don't seem to fit in with the world around them. she really had a rather promising career. if you go to IMDB and other sites, check out her early filmography...it's really quite sad that things have gotten to this point. she could be a very respected actress right now, if only she made the right decisions. i think it goes back to the O.C. and our celebrity culture...this girl has been chewed up and spit out. sad. but hey, everybody loves a comeback kid! i personally hope she turns this shite around.

i wouldn't say she's freaked out on drugs, or stimulants/meth. as she doesn't look intensely junkie. like amy winehouse.
though the teeth thing is tricky.
it sounds like she's tried to commit suicide, or had a nervous breakdown.
drugs or no drugs, it's a traumatic thing for somebody to experience.
but the brain is an amazing organ,
that can do extraordinary things.
hopefully she can recover quickly.

31# : D

82# interesting query

"She has been on a destructive path for a while now," People magazine quoted a friend as saying. "Her drug and alcohol [use] has gotten to a point where it drove people away," the friend added. "I don''t think she knows her limits," adds the pal. Currently, the 23-year-old actress has been put under involuntary psychiatric evaluation at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles. Barton has battled demons before. In July 2008, she told Marie Claire magazine that she'd sought treatment for her problems. Experts say Barton could be discharged by Saturday afternoon if she demands to be released or doctors find her to be stable."

omg! did she try to kill herself or something? she's more worse than lindsay lohan and she is starving herself all the time.crazy!

OMG. 5150s are so 2008.

I don't think she needs the bangs. She can actually get away with putting her hair up. Most women falsely believe they can get away with it.

#31 you´re completely right.

I don´t understand what´s the problem here with Mischa being British, what does it have to do with her breakdown? and why do you all Americans think you are better than others?? Surprise. YOU. ARE. NOT. Except those few Indians that were living there before, all Americans are ancestors of Bristish, Spanish, Dutch and other nationalities who colonized the country you´re livin in, no one is A REAL AMERICAN!

So #13. #53. #63. , #74.
go fuck yourself, you are ALL OF BRITISH OR OTHER ORIGIN, no American saved the world during the WWII, all of your brave soldiers were just European or other ancestors so STOP BITCHIN THERE IS FINALLY THE RIGHT TIME FOR YOU TO LEARN WHAT DOES MODESTY MEAN YOUR EGO IS ALWAYS BIG YOUR BRAIN STILL EMPTY

How small your memories are, Mr Superficial and readers.
Mischa Barton was previously a friend of Mr Superficial, endorsing you personally, via her own website.
I guess that was a previous, wittier, Mr Superficial at the time.

ok why are yu arguing about your origins when that doesnt even pertain to the picture that you are commenting on????? I dont care if your british, American, Indian, Irish, Scottish, or whatever the hell you are. Lets stick to the topic folks.

I hope this beautiful, striking, young and talented woman starts being good to herself.....Drugs, no good men, and starvation are all roads to a hard unhealthy life.......
