Misha Barton Ordered to Lose 10 lbs

We all know the Mischa Barton has been dealing with a lot lately and she seems to be under a lot of pressure. The actress was recently told to lose 10 lbs. for her role as a model in the new television series The Beautiful Life. She was "shocked to tears" when she was given this news.

“She knows that means they are calling her fat behind her back," a source told Britain's Star Magazine. "She knows she is heavier than she needs to be but to hear it like that… it really shook her. How can Mischa play a model when she’s looking so heavy?"

“She’s broken down in tears more than once before shooting. It’s a lot of pressure for someone who is just out of hospital.”

Although she was upset by the news, friends say that Mischa does plan on losing the weight.

“She’s always been able to lose weight fast," the source added. "Everyone knows she’s been struggling, so people are just really rooting for her.”

Just because Mischa is no longer the skin and bones that she once was, she is now considered fat. Don't worry though because she is good at losing weight fast, which must be healthy of course. The young actress just can't seem to catch a break.

Mischa Barton Not Taking Care of Herself After Her Hospital Release

Former 'O.C.' actress Mischa Barton has angered her close friends by partying at the All Points West music festival in New York even though she was just placed under involuntary psychiatric hold at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

"It's scary to see her out right after she's received treatment," family friend Eric Ziegenbein told Heat magazine. "When I found out she'd been partying again, I was shocked. I thought she would chill out for a bit. The fact she was out right away proves she's not taking things seriously enough. It was like a big 'f**k you.' She's too proud and independent sometimes."

The 23-year-old starlet was under a 5150 hold for two weeks - which allows people to be forcibly held if they are deemed dangerous to themselves or others, are gravely disabled or have a mental disorder - after friends became concerned she was suicidal.

Some have said that the actress' drink and drug use was affecting her career and personal life. Another friend, Suzanne Coppin, is frustrated Mischa is trying to deal with the problems on her own without listening to loved ones.

"She has a support group, but it's obvious she's ignoring them," Suzanne said. "I'm disappointed she's not taking advice and is still doing her own thing."

This is not the first time Mischa's friends have voiced concerns about her well being. Earlier this month, many of them expressed their fears that she had returned to work on her new TV series 'The Beautiful Life' too soon after being released from the hospital.

"There still are issues," one friend said. "Mischa's just not herself at all. I think she's gone back to work too soon."

Mischa Barton Released from Hospital and Headed to Work

Actress Mischa Barton has been released from the hospital where she was placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold. She will be returning to work on the set of her new CW show The Beautiful Life which will begin filming on Friday. Her hospitalization had no effect on the production of the show.

"She was released early last week and has been improving since with the intention of resuming production with the rest of the cast," her rep told MTV News.

Barton was reportedly dealing with a lot of personal issues around the time of her hospitalization, but has been making improvements.

Show creator and producer, Ashton Kutcher recently commented on Mischa's condition saying, "I can tell you right now Mischa Barton is doing great."

Amy Winehouse Dating Mischa Barton's Ex

Notorious hot mess Amy Winehouse may be in the middle of a divorce with soon-to-be-ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil, but apparently, that hasn't stopped her from embarking on a new romance with James Regan - a millionaire's son who used to date Mischa Barton. According to reports, they've been exchanging romantic text messages, and she even cooked him dinner in her North London home. This guy has interesting taste in women.

Mischa Barton Under Involuntary Psychiatric Hold

Former "O.C" star Mischa Barton was escorted from her home by police officers on Wednesday for undisclosed medical reasons, causing her to miss the premiere of her new movie Homecoming. The police have since transferred her to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she is now being held under involuntary psychiatric hold. Sound familiar? It should, because the same thing happened to Britney Spears not long ago.

There's only speculation as of right now, but Barton has a less-than-perfect past, and is no stranger to medical issues and trouble with the law. She was hospitalized in May 2007 for suspected drug-related reasons, and later did a stint in rehab after being charged with marijuana possession and driving without a license.

Mischa Barton's Happy World

Mischa Barton has slammed rumours she's too thin, insisting all is well in "Mischa world".

Fears have been raised for 'The O.C.' star's health after she dropped three dress sizes in three months - but Mischa insists she is feeling great.

Mischa, 23, wrote on her blog: "Just so you guys know, I'm happier and healthier than ever. Things are really well in Mischa world and I've just been watching what I eat.

Mischa world.
Fears have been raised for 'The O.C.' star's health after she dropped three dress sizes in three months - but Mischa insists she is feeling great.

Mischa, 23, wrote on her blog:
"I still love my Pilates and yoga, and have cut back on fatty foods a bit. My time in India and Paris really just helped me lose a little bit of weight but there's nothing drastic going on."

Mischa also urged young women to be confident about their bodies and ignore criticism.

She said: "To my female fans - just be happy and secure with yourself and don't let other people's perceptions of you dictate the way you live your life."

Mischa Barton: L.A. Was a Shock to the System

Mischa Barton’s name is never far from the tabloids, but the London-born actress insists it’s L.A. that’s the problem.

“When you’re 16, you don’t know what the hell you’re getting into,” she says of her early days in Hollywood. “L.A. was a shock to the system. The truth of the matter is, I was being irresponsible to begin with.”

The 22-year-old actress also attributes the entertainment industry’s intense media coverage as “a large part of what drives people in L.A. crazy,” recalling her own fifteen minutes of infamy following an arrest for DUI last December.

“The thing is, I hate drunk drivers,” she says of the incident. “Living in L.A., I can’t stand them, and that’s why I was so disappointed in myself.”

Barton has since completed rehab and taken a step back from the party scene.

“Nowadays, I feel I’m settling more into a woman and I’m understanding who I am.”

Mischa Barton says photos were doctored

Mischa Barton was recently pictured sporting some serious cellulite.

At first the actress admirably defended the photos: "I like my curves," she told OK! magazine earlier this week. "My boyfriend loves them. So whatever works!"

"Every woman has cellulite," the actress said. "I've never claimed to have a perfect body."

Barton said she eats well, exercises and is comfortable with her body.

"If I'm in shape and I'm fulfilling my role as an actress, then that's all that matters to me. There's been a lot of nasty gossip written about me. If I was to cry over every single thing, I'd be the most depressed person ever."

She also said she thinks the paparazzi sometimes intentionally take unflattering photos.

"[The paparazzi] know they are worth more money," Barton said. "I've never claimed to have a perfect body, but it is what it is. I have a woman's body. I have hips and boobs so it goes straight there, which I don't mind because it gives me curves."

However, now the actress is claiming the photos were retouched.

"Those photos are doctored," Lisa Perkins, Barton's rep, told the New York Daily News. "I'm not saying she's perfect, nobody is. But they've given a 22-year-old woman the legs and bottom of an 80-year-old.

"Look at the shots that were taken shortly before on a beach in L.A. Did she develop all that cellulite in a couple of weeks? There's a lot you can do with Photoshopping."

Perkins told the New York Daily News that "parasite" photographer Jamie Fawcett tried to make Barton look bad because the actress was topless in the photos.

Fawcett denied the validity of the claim: "I wouldn't seek to publicly embarrass her with nudity or health issues or body image issues," he said. "It is a shame that publications tend to highlight an issue that is not fair to a young girl... However, sometimes these are the things that sell pictures."

The photographer sold the photographs to Britain's Daily Mail for an undisclosed sum of money.

Mischa Barton Battles with Snapper

Mischa Barton has kickstarted a bitter war of words with a paparazzo who snapped her sunbathing topless in Australia.

Barton, 22, is furious images taken by Jamie Fawcett have appeared in an Australian magazine and online. Several snaps show her topless and with cellulite on her thighs.

And the actress has accused Fawcett of disrupting her vacation with her mother Nuala on Hamilton Island, off Australia's East Coast.

She says, "He's a ridiculous human being. I've never abhorred anyone more. I was so angry, I went up to him and said how disappointed I was with his behaviour. He apologised but he was very insincere."

But Fawcett claims he warned Barton about stripping off before he had even captured her on film - and insists she could have found a private spot to seek an all-over tan.

He tells the Sydney Daily Telegraph, "We spoke to each other on the island, and that's when I showed her my camera and I hadn't taken any shots of her topless.

"I did warn her it was a public place, and if she wanted privacy she shouldn't be there.

"I'm not a perv, and I didn't intentionally mean to embarrass her. I don't just set out and start my day thinking I want to get any celebrity topless."

Barton isn't the first celebrity to clash with Fawcett; in 2005 he was accused by a newspaper of planting listening devices in Nicole Kidman's Sydney home.

In February this year (08) he lost a defamation lawsuit against the newspaper, after Kidman told a court she feared for her life after being pursued by him - and was forced to employ round-the-clock security for her and her family as a result.

Celebs with Cellulite

With summer fast approaching, we often find ourselves at the gym trying to get that swimsuit perfect body. We resort to eating salads instead of fries, and drinking water instead of soft drinks. Often times we find ourselves yearning for the bodies of our favorite celebrities. The abs of Marissa Miller or the legs of Cameron Diaz, while near impossible to achieve, become the official summer fitness goal. Sometimes however, our favorite stars have flaws of their own. It seems highly unlikely that someone paid millions to look good on camera could have imperfections, but they do.

While stalking celebs on perezhilton.com this afternoon, planning out how I was going to not eat all day, I came across a rather unflattering picture of Mischa Barton's cellulite thighs. Typically when celebs like Tyra Banks and Jennifer Love Hewitt are ridiculed for unflattering pictures I automatically come to their defense. They are girls with real bodies and eating habits. I don't, for some reason, expect perfection from them. However, Mischa Barton's cellulite offended me. Maybe its because she's known for being tall and thin. Perhaps its because she was wearing a dress out shopping that was shorter than a cover-up I'd wear at the beach. Regardless, I felt she should know better and cover up the cellulite.

This picture motivated me to google, "celebs with cellulite." Surprisingly, a lot of them have it. Scarlett Johansson's body apparently isn't perfect and even super models are stricken with the terrible affliction. Rather than this make me feel good about my own body, it made me disgusted with theirs. How is it that they get paid to look perfect but have more cellulite than the girls I see walking around my college campus?

After a little more reflection, I realized I was being ridiculous. I can't be mad at these women for having flaws. Everyone has them and some are hard to get rid off, especially cellulite. However, I can be mad that these celebs don't COVER UP.

Mischa charged with DUI and possession

Mischa Barton was charged with four misdemeanor counts yesterday related to her Decenber arrest. She was pulled over in West Hollywood on Dec. 27 after sheriff's deputies noticed her car straddling two lanes of traffic and failing to use her turn indicator.

According to court papers, the former "O.C." star was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, driving while having a 0.08 percent or higher blood alcohol level, driving without a valid license and possession of 28.5 grams or less of marijuana.

Anthony V. Salerno, Barton's attorney, released a statement that said he was happy his client was only charged with misdemeanor offenses. "The D.A.'s office is to be commended for treating this case the same as it would any other matter; Ms. Barton has received no special treatment," he said.

Barton will be arraigned Thursday in Beverly Hills Superior Court.

Mischa Barton facing 4 misdemeanors

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Mischa Barton, who on "The O.C." played a wealthy teenager in idyllic Orange County, got a dose of reality Tuesday when she was charged with four misdemeanors related to a drinking and driving arrest last year.

The former star of "The O.C." was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, driving while having a 0.08 percent or higher blood alcohol level, driving without a valid license and possession of 28.5 grams or less of marijuana, according to court papers.

In a statement, Barton attorney Anthony V. Salerno said he was pleased his client was only charged with misdemeanors.

"The D.A.'s office is to be commended for treating this case the same as it would any other matter; Ms. Barton has received no special treatment," Salerno said.

Barton was arrested Dec. 27 in West Hollywood after sheriff's deputies saw her car straddling two lanes of traffic and failing to signal for a turn.

Barton played Marissa Cooper on "The O.C." from 2003 to 2006, when her character died in a car crash. She also has appeared in several movies, including "The Sixth Sense" and the upcoming "Virgin Territory."

In May, Barton was hospitalized for two hours after an antibiotic she was taking interacted badly with alcohol.

Barton was scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday in Beverly Hills Superior Court.
