What's with the eye makeup?

Who is mischa barton?

[Ohsherri]

She was stick-thin on the O.C.
And she kept on raving how healthy and happy she was.
Young girls watched the O.C and bought her phoney-balogney 'twig' image.

Involuntary psychiatric hold is very serious--it is likely she tried to kill herself. Very tragic for anyone.

Coo-Coo

I hope you, your family or friends never need any type of mental health counseling and someone judges you this way. It's a shame that people like you make insensitive remarks like this without an ounce of understanding. How shallow. Oh, I guess you've been judged.

She looks more like she's doing crystal meth than cocaine. It's hard to believe she's only 23. I hope she gets better.

That's too bad. She used to be so hot: http://www.actressscene.com/2009/02/mischa-barton-in-closing-ring.html

I really do think maybe some things should be private. I mean I know she's a public figure and all but still, I'm really getting to the point where if you're coworkers wouldn't have a right to know the same information about you then really maybe the entire public doesn't have a right to know all the details about the nature of her hospitalization.

How fortunate for her...she has the luxury of 'breaking down' because.....what? Coke? In a romantic slump? Her little acting career not fulfilling or paying enough?
I feel for my 2 sons-in-law who have been laid off since October and I'm sure they'd love to have a nervous breakdown, but they can't.

[Phoebe917]

while i feel for your sons-in-law, i also think your comment is a bit harsh.

[Billis]

She's just a burnt out starlet with a coke addiction. Dime a dozen. NEXT!

[tigerlyly]

You can't be committed for drug use. She tried to kill herself.

23 and to feel that intense sadness...very tragic...and involuntary...that itself is scary...it mean..she CAN'T leave..for at least 3 days...maybe this will help her...I hope so...and am thankful she had the guts to call the cops..rather than die....that's a good sign..right?... it is too much for too many young, quasi famous... how on earth would any of us handle that.... I wish her strength and healing..

[Ex-Liberal]

Please treat her like a human being-- that is, until you discover she's a rightwinger... then have at it!

[DBtv]

You were never a liberal.

[Ex-Liberal]

Just keep telling yourself that.

[TheBlackCat]

what's that even supposed to mean? Isn't every human beind deserving of compassion?

Maybe YOU don't have any friends who don't think exactly like you.

But I'm a liberal and I have many conservative friends...my HUSBAND is a right leaning moderate- in the army, cattle rancher, and big gun guy. I'm a vegetarian tree hugger.

Not everyone is as petty and unable to get along with people different than themselves as you are, you know.

[nerakami]

We all have issues to varying degrees but I think we all know what it feels like to be at an extremely low point within our selves. Please, let us have compassion for another being's suffering.

[complice]

Well, that's what happens when you devote all your time and money to cocaine. I'm not her biggest fan, but I hope she gets help.

[Pippen]

Have no idea who she is or why she's considered a celebrity.

Four seasons of the OC...that's it.
