Omg, she better be okay!

**Sam_MC** · 07-16-2009, 12:02 AM

Access Hollywood, YOU SUCK. And the LAPD source? GTFO.

Trying to make everything sound so sinister and illicit.

eatyourgreens · 07-16-2009, 06:54 AM

Aw, I hope she gets better soon!

Oral surgery is a bitch. I hated getting my wisdom teeth out.

**Sam_MC** · 07-16-2009, 06:58 AM

I havent had mine out yet. And now I dont want to, lol.

eatyourgreens · 07-16-2009, 07:04 AM

I don't blame you, lol.

**Sam_MC** · 07-16-2009, 07:07 AM

I HATE that the tabloids have jumped on this and are trying to make it seem like she's done something wrong.

The girl is SICK. LEAVE HER THE BLOODY HELL ALONE.

**Cristofle** · 07-16-2009, 08:56 AM

Eeek! That sucks. Getting wisdom teeth removed can be incredibly painful.

And yeah, it sucks that she went to the police for help in avoiding the paps and someone in the LAPD turned around and pulled that crap. The LAPD is shameful. Maybe if you stopped spending all your time leaking crap to the press about celebs and started doing your jobs, the LA prison system wouldn't be so ridiculously overcrowded.

Mischa Barton Cancels Appearance After Medical Problem

Mischa Barton will skip the premiere Thursday night of her movie Homecoming, a day after she made a medical call to Los Angeles police.

The petite 23-year-old actress, who two months earlier said that she was happy and healthy, called police at 3 p.m. Wednesday with a health problem, LAPD Officer April Harding confirms to PEOPLE. (Access Hollywood first reported the story.)

"We assisted her with a medical issue and removed her from her home," says Harding. She adds that no paramedics were involved and no arrests were made, but confidentiality laws prevent her from revealing details about Barton's condition.

The star's Craig Schneider, tells PEOPLE exclusively that police were only needed to protect the former O.C. star from the media as she was transported to her doctor.

"Police were involved due to Ms. Barton's celebrity status, to safely transfer her to medical treatment as per doctor's orders," Schneider tells PEOPLE, adding that Barton is now "okay and resting."

Austin Stark, one of Homecoming's producers, tells PEOPLE, "There were some medical problems. She's not able to travel, as far as I know." He says he's disappointed Barton will miss the indie film's premiere "because she did a great job" in her role as an unscrupulous homecoming queen.

Director Morgan J. Freeman and producers Austin Stark, Benji Cohn and Bingo Gubelmann of Paper Street Films are still expected to attend.

Mischa Barton Placed Under Involuntary Psychiatric Hold

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Mischa Barton was placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold (also known as a 5150) by the Los Angeles Police Department and transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Wednesday evening, a source close to the situation claimed to Access Hollywood.

On Wednesday, Access broke the news that authorities had responded to the Los Angeles home of the starlet after receiving a non-911 call from her residence around 3 PM. A patrol car responded to the scene and began assisting Barton with a “medical issue,” a spokesperson for the LAPD confirmed to Access on Wednesday evening.

The source claimed that Barton was placed under Section 5150 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code by police and transported to Cedars-Sinai.

According to the code, authorities can hold a person involuntarily if they present a danger to themselves or others, are gravely disabled or suffer from a mental disorder. This same code was used to hold Britney Spears twice in Los Angeles in January 2008.

When asked about information related to the alleged involuntary hold, an LAPD spokesperson would not comment directly. However, the spokesperson did admit that if any person was held under a 5150, authorities would be prohibited from disclosing the information due to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) laws.

According to the California Welfare and Institutions Code, the hospital can hold Barton involuntarily for up to 72 hours.

A rep for the actress confirmed to Access that Barton will not attend the world premiere of her new film, “Homecoming,” which happens Thursday night in New York City, but released no further details on the star.

Additionally, the director of Barton’s film said in a statement that those involved with the movie were “saddened” Barton will not be at the event.

“I along with everyone on the ‘Homecoming’ team are saddened to hear that Mischa Barton will not be able to attend the film’s premiere tonight in New York,” director Morgan J. Freeman said in a statement to Access on Thursday. “Her performance in ‘Homecoming’ is fantastic, and she will be missed at our premiere.”

Sources close to the film told Access Barton was due to fly into New York City on Wednesday evening. She had a photo shoot scheduled and was going to head out to the premiere around 3 PM on Thursday.

Barton is the star of “Homecoming,” playing Shelby, the ex-girlfriend of a football player in a small town, who does whatever it takes to get her beau back. The film co-stars Jessica Stroup of “90210” and Matt Long of ABC’s “The Deep End.”

I haven't gotten my wisdom teeth removed yet either. I'm terrified to, since I can't stand pain...but they're seriously hurting like a bitch lately.

Man, I wish the tabloids would just leave Mischa alone too! God, even when the girl's ill, they STILL attack her!

Poor Mischa!

eatyourgreens · 07-16-2009, 01:54 PM

Oh my God, if that Access Hollywood story is true, I hope she's doing okay! 5150 is serious.

**Cristofle** · 07-16-2009, 01:57 PM

Yeah, I'm unclear on what's going on (but really quickly getting sick of Access Hollywood's eagerness to scoop everything before having many solid facts).

eatyourgreens · 07-16-2009, 02:02 PM

There's a report on People.com saying that she's in 5150 at Cedars-Sinai, but they are saying they couldn't get a confirmation from the rep or something.

I just hope Mischa's okay.

**Cristofle** · 07-16-2009, 02:10 PM

Well, they're saying they got that from Access Hollywood, so it all seems to be coming from that original source.

eatyourgreens · 07-16-2009, 02:12 PM

Yeah, that's true.

_xGemmax_ · 07-16-2009, 02:14 PM

This HAS to be some kind of joke. I just hope Mischa's allright!
