Mischa Barton looks tired when she lights up a cigarette and walks to the set of “The Beautiful Life: TBL” without any makeup on.

Mischa looks better than she has in recent days, makeup or no makeup. In fact, dare I say she looks better without all that makeup on? Those greasy racoon eyes she had been donning lately looked worse than Amy Winehouse’s makeup. Mischa isn’t all bloated up anymore either. That was weird. Her face had ballooned up like a tick about to burst.

Glad to see she is doing better.

The 23-year-old, who was admitted to hospital last month on what was reported to be an “involuntary psychiatric hold” – will play a model turned-drug addict in the teen drama. Not much of a stretch there.

So I can’t help but ask, and I know this makes me a dick for saying it…but did Mischa eat Wynonna Judd or something?

Friends of Mischa Barton were concerned about the actress committing suicide after a three-day long cocaine bender – we are learning that this was the reason for her hospitalization last week.

Police were called to the actress’ home on Wednesday after friends became concerned that Mischa was suicidal. She was reportedly blitzed out of her mind on cocaine at the time.

She was taken to a psychiatric ward and held under a “5150″. By law, a 5150 patient can be held against their will for up to 72 hours. They are considered to be high risk for harming themselves or others.

The incident caused Barton to miss the premiere of her new film, “The Homecoming”.

A source allegedly close to Barton told the New York Post: “She’s in very bad shape. She’s running out of money and can’t find love, so now she is looking for a good time to escape her misery. She is on a downward spiral. She is a mess. She is a suicidal, uninsurable mess.”

Recently Mischa has been seen looking terribly bloated and nothing like her usual self. These series of events lead some to believe the actress may already be washed up at the tender age of 23.

But isn’t that just so Hollywood. Everyone does coke, but if you get too strung out, or caught with it, you’re an outcast. When secretly, behind the scenes and in bathrooms across L.A. nearly everyone is doing it..

Mischa Barton was taken from her home yesterday after suffering some sort of medical issue.

Barton called authorities around 3 PM Wednesday and when they arrived they “removed her from her home” and took her to an “undisclosed location”. A police spokesperson says that the actress did not dial 911, and that it was not an emergency, but they aren’t saying much more.

A source told Us Weekly that Mischa “had a freak out,” and I am guessing it had something to do with drugs, because well, we all know Mischa likes them!

Mischa was charged in 2008 with DUI and marijuana possession and was sentenced to three years probation.

UPDATE: Access Hollywood has reported that Mischa s being held under an involuntary psychiatric hold, also known as a 5150. The LAPD had her transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center yesterday. The hospital has the right to hold her for up to 72-hours, depending on her condition. A 5150 is generally enacted when someone is a detriment to themselves or society, is mentally unstable or even suicidal.

This is similar to what happened to Britney Spears back in 2007, if you recall.

Mischa’s publicist has confirmed that the actress will not be attending the premiere of her new film, The Homecoming on Thursday.

She arrived at 2:45 AM and left around 4:45 AM. No wonder she looks like hell. Man, she can really look dirty sometimes..

After being fresh faced at the Fifi Fragrance Awards at the Dorchester Hotel in London, Mischa Barton hit the clubs.

And how. She left looking a little worse for wear and in need of some assistance.

“Posh doesn’t strike me as particularly stylish. I don’t think she’s a good example of British style at all. I don’t dress for anybody else, and I think the reason people like my style is that I do my own thing.”

- Mischa Barton thinks she is much more stylish that fashion icon Victoria Beckham.

I don’t understand these dumb bitches.

It is not easy to “accidentally” have your boob pop out of a dress, but somehow dumb bitches all over Hollywood have managed to make it happen. Mischa Barton included.

Mischa is obviously and sadly, seeking some sort of publicity.  And yeah, she’s getting it.

See the real deal after the cut..
