Nicole Richie struggled with drugs and arrests and wild child behavior. So now she’s quietly coming alongside Mischa Barton and trying to help her overcome her problems.
The two have been friends for years, but Mischa continued partying while Nicole settled down and made babies. But Radar’s source says Mischa might finally be calming herself now that she’s getting assistance:
“[She] is doing great — thanks to Nicole. She stepped in and talked to her about making changes in her life… basically doing a 360… Mischa isn’t even smoking anymore, thankst o Nicole. Nicole told Mischa that she has to straighten up because she has a lot riding on this new show.”
It’s great to have people who will take care of you when life is falling apart. You know someone popped into your head — go thank them today. Because there are definitely opportunities for all of us to slide down the wrong path if someone isn’t there to catch us.
Mischa Barton is out of the hospital, and ready to start working on her new show, The Beautiful Life. She had planned to stay awhile and get her act together, but someone probably whispered that her last chance at a career was dying. Producers for the show had started talking recasting for Mischa’s role.
Suddenly, Mischa was all better! And ready to work! Don’t worry about meltdowns later on! Ha!
Mischa Barton’s mental illness has cost her credibility and a movie premiere, but now it might be getting her fired from new show, The Beautiful Life.
Of course, it would be insensitive to say she’s getting fired because of mental illness, so they’ll say something like, “The show must go on!” while casting a new actress to fill Mischa’s role. She was supposed to play Sonja Stonean, a model who’s star is fading. Sound familiar?
Poor Mischa… it seems she’s destined to end up as a cautionary tale.
