Mischa Barton: One Very Messy Trainwreck

I tend to ignore people like Mischa Barton because they are so cluelessly unaware of the world's perception of them, that it makes it a severe waste of time pointing out the obvious. Sadly, even Mischa has made herself impossible to ignore.
A bit of Mischa history. Barton was a model and sometimes actress, best known for her role on the "O.C.", a fairly popular show going back a few years. Mischa is also known for hanging with the other Hollywood messes Lindsay Lohan, the reformed Nicole Ritchie and her herp-infected pal Paris Hilton. Even these skanks knew better than to keep hanging out with Mischa, as her life began to spiral out of control.
Many a blind item has been devoted to Barton's coke habits, possible meth addiction and alcoholic endeavors. It seems Mischa's successes in life revolve around her love-life — when that fails, she fails. When she dated Cisco Adler she kept herself mostly together, but since then, she's had a string of failed relationships and her struggles to maintain stability have become quite public, including a DUI, numerous reports of drug and alcohol binges, as well as a stalled career.
In the last two weeks Mischa has been forced to come to terms with her out of control behavior, landing her Cedars Sinai Hospital under a 5150 - which is essentially a mandatory hold placed a person who is deemed a danger to themselves, or possibly others. Reports have stated that after a 3-day drug binge (possibly on cocaine) Mischa flipped out and called the police with threats of suicide.
Now, a video has surfaced of Mischa doing an interview for Handbag TV, after a recent opening at Harrod's in London. Homegirl is a certified mess. Being an "older" person, I have some familiarity with people "under the influence" but I have never seen someone this obviously whacked out on something. Her eyes pupils are HUGE, she can't stand still, she's fidgeting, staring off into space and what the EFF is with her voice? Honestly, she looks TERRIBLE and this should be a huge wake-up call to Mischa and those around her.
