Seems A Bit Much Just To Avoid Those "Mischa's Fat" Headlines ..

Oh, Mischa, Mischa, Mischa.

Tired of Lindsay Lohan stealing all her "drunk, washed-up" actress headlines, Mischa Barton upped the ante and jumped the shark right into Britney Spears territory.

Authorities responded to her Los Angeles home after receiving a non-emergency 911 call from her residence. Details are sketchy but it's believed Mischa called the police herself after having a "freak out."

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

According to sources, the LAPD placed her under an involuntary psychiatric hold, better known as a 5150, and transported her to Cedars-Sinai hospital.

For those of you with short-term pop culture recall, this is the same thing that happened to Britney twice last year. They should just call it "pulling a Britney." Much easier to remember. And kind of catchy, too.

After the sense of failure that comes from, say, your career hitting such a dead end that you can't even get the lead in a "movie of the week" on Lifetime and looking in a mirror and realizing that you look like the "before" photo in a Jenny Craig commercial, it's no wonder Mischa went a little nutso.

But the good thing is that Mischa is getting the help she needs, and look how well everything worked out for Britney! Wait, Mischa has millions of dollars in the bank, residuals from four #1 albums to fall back on, and talent, right? No? Well, Mischa is inheriting an '89 Ford Taurus from her grandma, so she's got that going for her, which is nice.

The saddest part about this whole thing though, is that Mischa was unable to attend the premiere of her new movie Homecoming. That's a shame, because if she had turned up, it would have been the glitziest event the Bumf**k, USA carpark had ever seen.

At least she's finally done something interesting enough to land that coveted US magazine cover. Well, unless someone even slightly more famous gets arrested, pregnant, hitched, dies, breaks up or goes shopping.
