Mischa Barton Is Not Well

Remember a couple of years ago when an ambulance had to be called at a Nicole Ritchie party because Mischa freaked out on shrooms? She's got a drug problem.

Get well soon.

@Helennellieforsythe: She stole Pete Doherty's hat AND eyes.

It's not the Morgan "marrying his granddaughter" Freeman who directed this movie. It's the Morgan J. Freeman who also happens to produce 16 & Pregnant on MTV.

Yeah, I can't remember passwords to anything, but I know the producer/directors of movies and TV shows.

Hmm, you might want to clarify that it was not directed by THAT Morgan Freeman. It was directed by Morgan J. Freeman, a completely different person from the actor. I saw the film, but you can also find that info on IMDB.

@nathanst:

Hehehe! I couldn't get past the word 'blow'!

@sandinista: I'll take "A Blow-Job" for $200, Alex.

@squeakel: no, I think that was pre-meltdown. This picture is more current Mischa.Edited to add a link to the side by side http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1198063/Mischa-Bartons-yo-yo-weight-sparks-conce....html

Ughh!!! I hate new comments and don't know how to make that a link. Just copy and paste. It's worth it, I promise.

I grew up in the mid-west and moved to West Hollywood when I was 23. I lived there for 12 years It was the most drugged/boozy/self-centered/dumbed down/broke/fun/sexed up/social/unstable/exciting/free/bi-polar/thinnest/prettiest/ugliest era of my life. I dream of the headlines I could have harvested if I had had a publicist and enough money to develop a seroius drug problem. Woe.

@ampersandparade:


Is this the "bloated" girl I'm supposed to feel sorry for? Because she looks damn good.

squeakel

Her meth face has gotten really bad of late. Get well soon.

@nathanst: Yeah, totally agree. I couldn't think of anything venom-worthy she's ever done, even, and I'm usually good on coming up with contrived venom for people I don't even know. She's a pretty girl to look at, and although her acting can be wooden sometimes she's made the best of some truly miserable roles and dresses like Marianne Faithful, and that can't be said for most of her contemporaries who I actually can muster contempt for. Feel better Mischa!

Saw this over at D-listed and was shocked how much some hate her. Hope she gets well and gets her mind in order.

Those photos of her a few weeks back at Harrod's looking like a bloated Brigitte Bardot circa 1967 with a puppy dog on her head surely wasn't an indicator of impending self destruction; I just assumed that was the new fashion.

Between this, the car accident and engagement to his ex-wife's grandaughter, How much longer before the Six Degrees from Morgan Freeman game?

Maybe she ate dinner and then panicked because she couldn't find a toilet to throw up in?

@matukonyc: Oh! My bad! Now I don't know if I should be sad for Mischa or happy for Morgan?

@blimeypants: It's past the 15 minute editing window for Cajun.

The Dominant Glee Club

@kookla: It's not that Morgan Freeman - it's Morgan J. Freeman, the producer/director, not the actor.

@Island of Misfit Toys: but many, if not most drug issues are due to a mental disorder. it's pretty hard to separate the two.

@pureblarney: I think it's cute the way girls don't like to smoke meth so instead they shovel up their nose. ^_^

Surprised by the picture choice; I totally would've gone with a still from The Sixth Sense.

DahlELama

@Tattertotter: I really hope it is just a drug issue so she can get help and overcome it. A mental disorder is another ball of wax completely. (Britney Spears seems to have pulled out of a similar tailspin.) Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Island of Misfit Toys

Doesn't a 5150 in LA meant that your were picked up because your blood alcohol level was higher than that of the combined members of Van Halen ca. 1985?

@TriedandTrue: Sorry but Boy George has already claimed it for his next Do You Really Want to Hurt Me tour.

Tattertotter

@Island of Misfit Toys: Not if the toxic environment is in your head. Sounds like generalized panic disorder which is a total horror show and only partially treatable with drugs. Poor girl.

Tattertotter

I thought her new CW show was supposed to be her comeback...come to think of it, this is more work than she's had in the last 5 years. Bad timing on the crazy.

DahlELama

@katekate is squared: It gives one the freedom to leave a toxic environment or situation.

Island of Misfit Toys

@Helennellieforsythe:


My pic was taken at the event where she was supposedly bloated according to the poster before me.

squeakel

@easternsike: It happens.

@Island of Misfit Toys: Yeah, because money fixes everything.

katekate is squared

@Helennellieforsythe:

She looks like she's having thyroid issues. Looks like the only drug she's doing is Prednisone.

@blimeypants: Thanks for clarifying. I couldn't figour out why the hell the Grandaughter-marrying God dude would direct anything by her.

Poppymann

@Trixie from Toronto: for real though!!!! who freaks out on shrooms??

@k122n: But if you are failing to meet your goals, why self-destruct instead of a well-timed retreat into languorous anonymity with the 1-5 million dollars that you never could have earned anywhere else?

Island of Misfit Toys

@Island of Misfit Toys: if you wanted a normal life, you likely wouldnt be an actress, no?

k122n

I just have a hard time understanding young third tier actors in Hollywood who freak out like this. They are STILL making more money than 99.99% of the rest of America. Is it really that hard to walk away and buy a gorgeous home somewhere in the Connecticut woods with your earnings and live a normal life?

Island of Misfit Toys

@Helennellieforsythe:
In the pic on the right, she looks 35. In the on on the left, she looks 45. They say she's 23?!

Ironic she was filming a pilot called "A Beautiful Life In Canada." Canada's a fabulous country - she should settle there for real, and have a truly beautiful life.

fringedweller

@pureblarney: jeeeeeze, I think you're right, that really does look like a meth face. So sad.

Island of Misfit Toys, above had the best idea; go buy yourself a beautiful little spread somewhere and live a normal life...But I think most stars are afraid to do something like that. It's almost as if they think if they do something like that, you know, give up the fame and so-called excitement, it's like they' afraid they'll cease to exist.

fringedweller

@easternsike: you're joking right?

@Helennellieforsythe I actually think the "bloated" face on an otherwise much thinner body could have something to do with psychiatric medications. Many mood stabilizers, often used in treatment of addicts, result in facial bloating.

Considering her previous problems, and what the industry has seen with other starlets (ahm, Lindsey Lohan), is this woman now uninsurable, meaning unemployable?
