Mischa Barton talked to Time Out New York about the hospital stay and the involuntary psychiatric hold that she was placed under.

?

“Here’s what happened: Before the show started, I was traveling abroad for contract stuff and I went through a terrible surgery—a wisdom tooth surgery, all four removed. It was a nightmare. I’ve never had surgery before—it all went wrong and I had to have a second surgery and it almost delayed shooting because it was a nightmare to me, because I couldn’t deal with the thought of not getting there on time. So with the travel, and surgery and prep for the show—it was hell.”

“I went through a tough spot where everything compounded on me, and it was like a perfect storm, like everything was happening to me at once. The show, travel and then this fairly routine surgery that went wrong,” she continues. “I was down in the dumps about everything there for a while. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom about things and have to get the most stressed-out just to feel better again. I got completely stressed-out and couldn’t handle everything, and now I feel really in control.”

“I’m ready to work … The show will speak for itself. It’s a great show.”

I am glad that she set the record straight. Welcome back Mischa

According to www.screenindia.com, Mischa has been hitting the gym a lot recently.

“Mischa is really focused on getting into shape,” Contactmusic quoted a source as telling People magazine.

Another one added: “She has been doing a lot of conditioning with weights as well as cardio on the treadmill, and some kickboxing. She’s been very consistent and she seems focused.”

It is great that she is keeping in shape, and she is focused. I do not know this for a fact, but I was just thinking about how it must be hard for her to be playing a model in The Beautiful Life. She has to be in shaped, but not get to thin. Months back, Mischa was told to gain some weight because they show did not want to set a bad example for the girls who are watching the show,

Best of luck Mischa. I am looking forward to the show.

According to Jennifer Godwin, writer for www.eonline.com, Ashton Kutcher is standing up for Mischa Barton, and he puts the rumors to rest that Mischa is being cut from the show.

“[Mischa] was never unavailable for a day of work…Mischa’s in New York working today.”

Ashton continued , “The great thing about Mischa for this show is we have a lot of young cast. She’s done it before. On The O.C. she was one of the leads in this big soap opera.”

So Mischa and her fans do not have to worry about her being out of the job.

“[Mischa's role] is very prominent. She’s one of our lead players.”

Reminder .. . The Beautiful Life will premiere on Sept. 16 at 9 p.m. on the CW Check your local listings for the correct times.

Great News! Mischa Barton is out of the hospital. According to http://latimesblogs.latimes.com, Ashton Kutcher says that Mischa is doing great.

“I can tell you right now Mischa Barton is doing great.”

According to a statement giving to www.people.com, Mischa “will be resuming production as planned with the rest of the cast in NYC,” her rep said. “She’s back to business as usual.”

I am so glad that she doing better. Maybe we will hear from her soon on her website. I have to admit, I had been concerned, like I am sure that many of you have been. Thank goodness to twitter and Ashton Kutcher.

Was Mischa Released Too Soon

According to the New York Dailey News, a insider is afraid that Mischa was let out of the hospital too soon,

“Mischa needs more aggressive treatment over a long period of time. It’s only been a matter of days since she was released from the hospital, and I think she definitely wasn’t there long enough,” said the insider.

We will have to see. If that source is talking about depression it can be handled in many ways, and yes one of them is out of the hospital so people can be with their love ones and do what they love to do. It is more depressing in the hospital.

But. I am not saying that Mischa was or was not depressed. It just sounds like the insider is pointing to that.

Get Better

I do not know why Mischa is in the hospital. There have been many rumors. Some which are down right mean. Rumors that I will not address. It will be up to Mischa on wether she addresses these rumors or not. I can say that I wish Mischa a fast and speedy recovery. I also can say, like many people I am worried about her. And no – - I do not know what is wrong with her. I will always wish her the best, and hopefully we will hear from her soon. I will keep you up to date.

?

Mischa…. You are in my thoughts and prays.

Mischa is Getting Better

According to Eunice Oh, writer for www.people.com, and Mischa Barton’s rep – - Mischa is

“making improvements” and will get back to work.

Last week police were called to Mischa’s house. She was placed in a hospital due to health problem and being placed under a psychiatric hold.

Mischa’s rep did not say a lot, but did say she is “still seeking treatment,” and she is planing to be back to work on The Beautiful Life. Production for the show is suppose to began on July 31.

Mischa is in the Hospitail

It has been confirmed that Mischa Barton is in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, according to Jocelyn Vena, writer for www.mtv.com. Mischa was removed from her home on Wednesday afternoon. The LAPD is saying that it was due to “medical issues.”

According to http://latimesblogs.latimes.com, “Shortly after 3 p.m., a police unit responded to the home of Mischa Barton for a medical issue, which the Police Department is currently helping her with. No one was arrested,” said Det. Gus Villanueva.

“Ms. Barton was safely transferred to medical treatment for which she remains hospitalized, as per the recommendation of her doctor,” her rep told MTV News in a statement.

A friend of the actress told People that she “has been dealing with a lot of personal issues,” and
“I don’t know if she really ever gave up some of the bad habits that had gotten out of control a couple years back.”

No matter what, I wish Mischa the best.

Give this girl a break. First she is fat… Then too thin… Now people are complaining that she has put on weight. Before I go any farther, she was told to put on weight for her new tv show, A Beautiful Life. So, we knew that she was going to put on more weight than we had been use to. People are saying that the weight gain and chipmunk cheeks are due to partying and greasy fast food. But (finally) a source close to Mischa says that it is due to having a wisdom tooth removed and has reacted badly to antibiotics, according to www.dailymail.co.uk. That is a good possibility.

The media is always trying to take aim at Mischa’s weight. Well… I think she looks great.

“I haven’t lived here since I was tiny, but my entire family is British and I’ve been raised as a Brit. My sister lives and works in London as a barrister, but nobody can get their head round the fact I’m anything but a Hollywood girl. In the US nobody thinks of me as American, and here, nobody believes I’m British,” Mischa Barton told Daily Mail.

She even told the Daily Mail about when she attempted to lose her British Accent.

“When I lived in New York I tried really hard to ditch the British accent to fit in. I went to classes and everything,” she said. “I ended up putting on this terrible ‘Nu Yawk’ accent and hid behind that for a while. Now I don’t try to hide it so much, but my accent slips all over the place. It’s a mess – I don’t sound like I’m from anywhere any more.”

When I listen to Mischa she sounds like an American, but there is nothing wrong with being an American and a “Brit.” It could be wonderful. You would have two places to call home.

Save the Children

This is off of Mischa Barton’s Website:

“In honor of its 125th anniversary, Bvlgari is teaming up with Save the Children’s Rewrite the Future campaign. The campaign’s primary goal is to provide children in poverty-stricken countries with the opportunity to receive an education and thus a far better future than the one they were looking at prior to Save the Children’s involvement.

Save the Children is an organization I hold dear to my heart. I had the privilege of traveling to Africa as an ambassador and got to see first-hand how invaluable their efforts are towards improving the lives of underprivileged children worldwide. They help to provide kids with proper medical care, nourishment, educational programs, and emergency relief.

Experiencing it first-hand was a real eye-opener as to how fortunate I am, and anything I can do to help promote the cause and thereby assist the children in need is well worth my while.

Bvlgari has created a silver ring and pendant with “Save the Children” engraved on the inside and all of the proceeds will go to the campaign. Their goal is to raise 10 million euros by the end of 2009. I am wearing the ring in the photo above, which I took for the campaign along with a number of other celebrities

According to www.vogue.co.uk, Mischa Barton will open the Harrods summer sale this weekend.

“It’s really exciting and it should be really fun,” Mischa Barton told VOGUE.COM.

“Harrods is iconic and a great buy during a blowout sale is a girl’s dream come true. That said, not only is it an honour to be asked to open its annual sale, but something I’m truly looking forward to.”

So does Mischa have any shopping tips for her fans out there?

“Look for staples.”

“I love London style – it’s nice and eclectic. I see, in my future, spending a lot of time in the UK,” said Mischa.

I have to admit that I love London fashion, but I am not sure how I would look in it. I find it hard to find clothing in my size that I like.

If you are in the UK, check Mischa out on the cover of Vogue.

“Hi everyone. Just wanted to let all of you know that I have a new film coming out next month!!! It’s called Homecoming and I got to play the jealous, psychotic ex-girlfriend of a college football star. I had a great time filming it and got to work with some pretty fantastic people.

Homecoming hits theaters
July 17…don’t miss it!!! Read the synopsis of the film below for more details. Love you all!

HOMECOMING
Mike (Matt Long) was the star quarterback in a blue-collar small town where football is everything. After receiving a scholarship to Northwestern University, he returns home over Christmas break and everyone is surprised to see him with a new girlfriend, Elizabeth (Jessica Stroup), a pretty rich girl from Chicago. No one is more shocked than Mike’s homecoming queen ex-girlfriend, Shelby (Mischa Barton), who desperately wants Elizabeth out of the picture. After a freak car accident leaves an injured Elizabeth at the mercy of Shelby, all hell breaks loose as Shelby does everything it takes to get Mike back.”

“The Beautiful Life”

Sneak peak of “The Beautiful Life.” It looks good.

This is off of Mischa’s website:

“Hi everyone. Just wanted to share with you my Autumn/Winter ‘09 handbag collection! I was going for a bohemian, vintage look that is reminiscent of my own personal style.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have been given the opportunity to travel to a variety of different countries and cities and I find inspiration everywhere I go, which I then incorporate into my designs.”

“Mischa Barton Likes Her Hair Natural”

According to www.myfashionlife.com, Mischa Barton likes her hair natural.

“I let my hair do its own thing; I don’t style it. My hair is very fine and gets greasy, so I usually wash it every day with Herbal Essence shampoo. I like it down and natural. When I wake up, my hair is a mess, but once I brush it through, it’s okay.”

I have to agree. I prefer to wash and condition mine, brush it and let it do what it wants. I do have thick hair, and I do not want to do anything to hurt it.

Mischa also prefers to do her own manicure.

“Everyone in Los Angeles is obsessed with getting their nails done. Everyone goes for the $10 manicure, but I’m always so busy, I just do them myself. I love Chanel’s Vandetta, a dark purple, and Rouge Noir,” she told Britain’s InStyle Magazine.

Manicures have never been my thing. I have always thought they were a waste of money. Anyway, my nails break so easily – - I just cut them short.
