Our favorite ‘00s it-girl was hospitalized (Well, my favorite) - this is not 2009 and it’s not a drill!
TMZ is reporting that Mischa Barton was hospitalized this morning for mental evaluation after neighbors and friends became concerned about her wellbeing. Apparently she was spotted hanging over her backyard fence in WeHo, rambling about her mom being a witch, the world shattering, and Ziggy Stardust - she was probably talking about her adorable dog Ziggy and TMZ just didn’t get the reference:
At one point she fell backward off the fence and said, “Oh my god, it’s over! I feel it, and it’s angry!” Sheriff’s deputies and firefighters responded to a call for a jumper or possible overdose.
Her 31st birthday was Tuesday, and as you guys know, this wasn’t the first time she’s been hospitalized. In July 2009 she was 5150’d - which she later blamed on a botched wisdom tooth surgery - and in May 2007 she was hospitalized for an overdose at Nicole Richie/Masha Gordon’s Memorial Day party… which her reps wrote off as an “adverse reaction to medication.” The Charlie Sheen excuse. Anyways, I’ve been rooting for a Coop comeback since the day she was killed off The O.C. and I’m still not going to give up hope.
I’ll keep you guys updated with any Coop news. I’ll be spending the night looking at my favorite pictures of Mischa and I’ll add them to the post!

On This Day In 2007 A sex tape starring Kim Kardashian&Ray J leaked online via the website kimksuperstar.com. The tape, which was filmed three years earlier, was purchased by Vivid Entertainment from an unidentified third party for $1 million and was scheduled for an official release later that month. Kim, however, quickly filed a lawsuit against the company for “violation of privacy,” but later settled for a reported $5 million. Happy 10 Years!
Partying, leaked texts, crashing a truck into a building, and more exciting moments from the life of Coop.
Last time we caught up with Mischa Barton, she was recovering in Cedars-Sinai from a post-birthday meltdown involving fence-dangling and screaming. Since then, Coop’s swapped Tijuana for the streets of Hollywood and fueled countless tabloid stories just like it’s 2007, so where do we begin?
(Replace this with Coop)
Well, I ended the last post with a testimony on the birthday-from-hell from one of Mischa’s party pals. Some personal troubles of my own (I guess Coop & I are in sync? Her birthday was even the day after mine!) distracted me from further updates - such as Mischa taking to Twitter to combat the recent onslaught of stories about her behavior:
Thank you so much for all the love guys.It means the world to me.There is too much going on in the world so I appreciate this more than ever
I checked her likes, and it was true. But after seeing the tweet Mischa went back and unliked every tweet she’s liked as far back as last spring… lmao. Moving on, days later she made her first post-hospital public appearance with a stop at a local CVS to pick up some wine, amongst other things:
She told the chatty photogs that she was “feeling better” and didn’t want to talk about the GHB incident:
Fast forward a few nights later, she’s snapped heading to Catch in West Hollywood with some friends:
And she takes a moment to note that she’s been “doing good” since the hospitalization:
I’m also loving the classic 2008 Mischa headband revival!
Anyways, Coop continued to seem to be in good spirits during a daytime outing the following week:
And then a Starbucks run with a pal and her dog Ziggy a couple of nights later:
But is everything really back to normal in Mischa’s word? Probably not.
This past week, Radar Online recreated a recent alleged text conversation between Mischa and a friend discussing her drug use:
A source told the site that while Mischa mostly indulges in pills, she’s even been using heroin as of late. Someone else reportedly close to Mischa told the Enquirer (I know…):
“Mischa is in denial. She thinks that if she doesn’t open letters from banks and attorneys chasing owed credit, then they’ll go away. People might think she’s turned her life around because she isn’t falling out of nightclubs, but behind closed doors she’s a complete wreck. The last few years have been a living hell, but, somehow, Mischa acts like everything is fine!”
If it’s true, it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest.
The Coop tour of Los Angeles continued with a solo bar outing a few nights ago, where she was photographed smoking alone at 3AM:
Earlier that day, TMZ leaked the 911 calls from Mischa’s neighbors the morning of the meltdown. Trust me, I’m soulless and love good gossip, but that just left a sour taste in my mouth so I refrained from giving Harvey Levin those extra page hits. According to Daily Mail, though, the callers claimed Mischa was threatening to kill herself, and one of the neighbors told the dispatcher that apparently police are a frequent fixture at Coop’s apartment, with meltdowns occurring every couple of months.
Then the latest bout of Barton drama came late last night. While I was trying to catch up on some much-needed sleep, my pal theshitneyspears gave me another crazy Coop scoop: she crashed her moving van into a building.
Mischa Barton just tried to move into my friends building and drove the truck into the building structure lmao pic.twitter.com/uCAebd0Sk9
According to TMZ, Mischa moved out of her old apartment on Wednesday and was driving around town in the U-Haul for several days before last night’s crash at her new abode right below the Sunset Strip - the obligatory crash footage:
Tell us what’s really on your mind, Coop.
As for what’s next, who knows! A 2017 remake of her post-DUI staged church candids could do her some good, though:
