Hollywood Starlet and the 5150

MSNBC is reporting that 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. As we all remember, this is the same 5150 that Britney Spears was placed under on that fateful night back in January 2008!

As reported by US Magazine the 23-year-old former O.C. actress was removed from her home in West Hollywood yesterday (July 15, 2009) afternoon by Los Angeles Police Department officers, after she put in a non-911 call to the LAPD.

"We responded to her home last night on a medical issue," Officer April Harding tells the magazine. "We assisted with it. She was removed from her home."

Asked if Barton had been cooperative with police, Harding replied, "I guess."

Harding did not reveal where the actress was taken after being removed from her home.

Accounts of the incident seem to differ. While Us quotes a source saying that Barton called the police after having a "freak out," Web site RPulse, which claims to have spoken with a Barton family representative, says that Mischa was taken to the hospital after suffering complications from oral surgery. (Barton recently had her wisdom teeth removed.)

According to the site, Barton is recovering with her family and is being treated with antibiotics.

Say What?

Y'all are killing me with this. Really if you need a break take one don't go all coco in the head. I don't know the girl maybe she had a moment WHICH WE ALL HAVE! I think all starlets in the age range of 16-24 should be admitted to a psychriatric ward because every last one of them have a few issues. But I have to say that I feel really bad and wish her the best. I don't know the full scoop so I will keep my eyes and ears open.
