Friends Call Mischa “Suicidal” As Production Halts On Her New Show

Mischa-Barton

The mystery surrounding Mischa Barton‘s hospitalization continues to deepen, as production on her new show has been halted in her absence. Work on “The Beautiful Life” has been pushed back a week, but the reason given is not Mischa’s current residency in a psych ward. Sources claim it’s just because some set pieces for the show have yet to be made – that’s it. Do you believe their excuse?

Insiders are also claiming that the actress was in the middle of a 3-day coke bender when cops were called to her L.A. home, summoned by friends fearing the star might try to take her own life. “She is a mess. She is a suicidal, uninsurable mess,” she one anonymous source. Another called her, “a tortured and troubled person.” Let’s hope Mischa’s getting some much-needed help while locked up at Cedars-Sinai. [Photo: WireImage]
