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."

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.
