Freaky Friday – The Story on Mischa

Now as everyone who follows celeb gossip has heard, former OC actress Mischa Barton flipped out a little while back and got carted off to the nuthouse. She was committed under a 5150 hold order and was the reluctant recipient of Cedar’s-Sinai’s hospitality for about a week. So far Mischa has been tight lipped about what exactly happened. Now she’s finally opening up and explaining what exactly lead to her freak out and subsequent hospitalization.

It seems it all started with some dental work that Mischa had done. She had finally gotten around to having a wisdom tooth taken care of when things took a turn for the worse. As Mischa explains to Time Out:

“Here’s what happened: Before the show started, I was traveling abroad for contract stuff and I went through a terrible surgery — a wisdom tooth surgery, all four removed. It was a nightmare,” the actress explained. “I’ve never had surgery before — it all went wrong and I had to have a second surgery and it almost delayed shooting because it was a nightmare to me, because I couldn’t deal with the thought of not getting there on time. So with the travel, and surgery and prep for the show — it was hell.”

“I went through a tough spot where everything compounded on me, and it was like a perfect storm, like everything was happening to me at once. The show, travel and then this fairly routine surgery that went wrong,” she told the mag. “It’s still just healing. But I had to get through it without proper painkillers because I couldn’t take those during work. So it’s been a nightmare.”
When asked how she ended up in a psychiatric hospital, Mischa said it had a lot to do with stress.
“I was down in the dumps about everything there for a while,” she said. “Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom about things and have to get the most stressed-out just to feel better again. I got completely stressed-out and couldn’t handle everything, and now I feel really in control.”

For the record Mischa denies that she had a nervous breakdown:

“I don’t know. I don’t know. I had a friend who had a quasi-nervous breakdown, but I’m not sure it’s the same thing,” she said. “I’m not sure I’m capable of a full-on nervous breakdown, but it was pretty bad. It didn’t last that long. It was more about the pain. I have a newfound respect for people who have chronic pain. I started getting migraines.”
Although pain played a role, Mischa said the doctors did not teach her how to handle pain.
“The doctor told me I was lucky I didn’t lose feeling in my lips and face, which would have been horrifying and couldn’t act properly.”

Mischa has also indicated that her mom is the one who called the cops and had her committed. Now those two have had their differences in the past. A year or so ago Mischa was overheard giving her mother a terrible dressing down on a public street, while the actress was either getting into or out of a cab. The gist of it was that Mischa called her mother’s mental capacity in to question, loudly! Mischa feels that things also got blown way out of proportion by happening in LA. Says Misch: “if all this happened in New York, no one would care.” So remember, next time you feel a freak out coming on, make sure that you’re in NYC, ’cause they let you be yourself there! It’s still the city that doesn’t give a damn, and that’s just the way they like it!

Now Mischa shouldn’t be shy about owning up to a break down. It’s kind of an occupational hazard among drugged out unstable women – otherwise known as actresses. If sanity is a relative thing then Mischa is a paragon of sanity by the standards of her profession. For example here’s a few brief words from Anne Heche on her wild & crazy days:

Dementia & the 4rth Dimension

If you’ll recall Anne got spaced out on meth shortly after her Ellen DeGeneres bust up. She thought that she was an ET called Celestia sent to Earth to teach peace and love. When the authorities finally caught up with her she was wandering around naked waiting for the mother ship to beam her up (maintaining a civilized society requires that peace, love, and nudity be strictly controlled!). Apparently the transporter beam couldn’t teleport her with her clothes on (Probably some kind of dimensional interference caused by Earth fabrics. Either that or her ET’s have advanced beyond the primitive custom of clothing). Celestia also wrote reams of stuff that was supposedly dictated by the voices in her head. Now no one should have to ask why the court decided that Coley Laffoon was the better choice to raise young Homer.

Speaking of crazy antics and advanced aliens from outer space coming to save us from ourselves, there’s a whole new slew of Scientology allegations coming out in the St Petersburg Times. It’s about what you’d expect but still startling: beatings, isolation, and an atmosphere of fear & intimidation. I believe that Tom Cruise’s name gets mentioned.

The SPT has done some extensive work on Scientology, here’s their index.

Attention Brangeloonies – the worst has happened!

Delipped like that she looks like Olivia Wilde!

Kerry Katona Canned

You might even say that KK was ‘put on ice’ from her lucrative $500 000 a year Iceland ice cream endorsement. Her corporate sponsors felt that she crossed the line when her ‘hobby’ got picked up on tape and then broadcast by NewsoftheWorld. It never rains but it pours, or in this case snows.

The latest development in this story is that Katona’s 1st husband Brian McFadden is consulting with lawyers. He feel’s that the children are no longer safe there. He may have a point. Whether or not doing drugs makes her unfit, being stupid enough to get videoed doing it in your own home definitely indicates some kind of serious negligence! I still like her better than that skanky ho’ Jordan.

Kerry Katona: A user, a boozer, and a loser!

That young woman better get her nose clean and I mean literally ’cause she’s on the fast track to Flatpoint High, home of the concrete donkey!

Shaq loses bet, makes embarrassing video

Now that would’ve been some bet hehe.

Katie Jordan Price Freaks Out on Airplane

We haven’t heard from Jordan in awhile, which is odd because she’s been hyper vocal lately. During a recent trip to Spain (on a budget airline) she broke the sound barriers with a series of sonic booms about – what else – her sex life.

So what set Katie off, apart from mixing airline booze and anti depressants? Well Katie has taken exception to some of the media reports about her. Now there have been a lot of reports: that she was a bitch to Peter Andre, that she cheated with her horse trainer, that she’s a negligent mother and a lazy drunken slut etc. However Katie took umbrage to some specific rumours, in particular that the new guy in her life is into kink.

Stories started circulating around that cage fighter Alex Reid (that experience is gonna come in handy!) enjoys BSDM. In fact the stories even go so far as to say he practices his fetish life style on Katie. Pictures made the rounds of the Brit tabs featuring a leather ‘gimp’ mask (a full face muzzle for the uninitiated)that he allegedly uses on Jordan during sex. No one could blame him for wanting to cover up that face!

snaky on a plane

Alex probably wishes he had it with him during the flight because that’s when Jordan took advantage of a captive audience to make a scene. Attempting to set the record straight she started hollering that “My man would never do that!” & “Do we look like those kind of people?” As for Alex, he looked completely humiliated. Her kids, who were also witnesses to this unseemly display, couldn’t have been much impressed either (though they must be used to it by now). Jordan tried to make nice towards the end tfo the trip by coiling herself around Alex (like a python around it’s prey?), but the poor man looked like he wanted to crawl out of his skin. She might have a point – do think it would even be poosible for anyone to shut her up, even with the use of special bondage paraphernalia?

In other news Miranda Kerr has gone blond! It’s a nice change and this way people will stop confusing her with Adriana Lima!

Anne Heche – you can still call her crazy

What’s with Anne? It is rabies season!

So what’s new in the world of Anne Heche? Well she & ex husband Coley Laffoon are still at it tooth & nail. Anne also sounds like she might still be in touch with Celestia and other old friends. Just watch the following interview in which David Letterman shifts around uncomfortably in his seat while Heche just manages to avoid foaming at the mouth!

David Letterman – your by word for ‘crazy guests’!

11 PM is rapidly becoming the witching hour as Late Night brings out the moonlight madness in their guests!

Now that whole thing seemed pretty tense. Dave had that cornered “get me the hell out of here” look in his eyes. It’s the same sort of look you might have when you’re alone in an elevator with a guy in a tin foil hat and he suddenly decides to strike a combination. “We can talk now cause the elevators are the only place free from satellite surveillance”. As for Anne, she was in a high state of mania and looked like she might freak out at any second. Hopefully they had a stage hand armed with a tranquilizer gun on stand by, just in case. I will give her one thing, she does a hell of an interview!

PS Anne used to have a problem with meth amphetamine, back in the days when she thought she was Celestia/Jesus and that the mother ship could beam her up, but not while she was wearing her clothing. She also supposedly kept a journal of the madness – reams of automatic writing dictated by the voices in her head. Not surprisingly Coley Laffoon is the primary caregiver to the couple’s child. Anne is a can short of a 6 pack, and a can away from a conservatorship!

Atomic Kitten Goes Ballistic

An update in the Fiore case. the model’s white Mercedes has been found.

Meanwhile it’s been a world wind few weeks in the life of former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona. She got in some shit recently when pictures of her snorting cocaine surfaced. As a result she lost a commercial endorsement . Well things have gone from bad to worse. Katona was bailed out of jail earlier this morning. She was arrested on charges of assaulting her business manager/accountant David McHugh. It seems that Katona is all out of money, and McHugh is the prime suspect!

The whole ugly business went down around 4 PM yesterday. Katona was at her accountant’s office at Hawthorne Business Park in Warrington for a peep at he books. Seems she suspected her husband Mark Croft of playing fast and loose with her money. That opinion was to quickly change. Katona was overheard shrieking “You’re the fucking reason I’ve got no money, not Mark. You’ve fucking ruined my life!” After that she began throwing office equipment around. Then she punched McHugh. That’s when the cops got involved.

The police charged Ms Katona with assault. She has been bailed out until Oct 12, pending further investigation. That will give her some time to deal with her increasingly serious drug issues. It’s seems that her cocaine problems are much worse than some video footage making it’s way onto youtube. It has now been revealed that she has a hole in her septum from coke abuse, and that her nose is dissolving. That might also be why her money is dissolving. She’s rumored to go through $500 worth of the white stuff a day! If we have learned nothing else from Courtney Love it’s that it’s easy to lose track of your money when you’re stoned out of your head all the time, no matter how much of it you have! Like they say “Cocaine, it’s a hell of a drug”. Looks like another celebrity is headed into the revolving door rehab!

Pugnacious

So what’s Gerrard Butler doing besides not dating Jennifer Aniston? Well he did not beat the crap out of a dog, according to him. The dog’s elderly owners have a different story. According to Fred and Maria Varecka they were taking their greyhound Mayfly out for a walk when Mayfly crossed paths with Lolita. Lolita is Gerrard’s pet pug.

Now Lolita and mayfly started doing what dogs do, whkch is sniff each other in odd places. According to the Varecka’s no sooner did mayfly’s nose touch Lolita’s than Butler flew into a wild rage. He started to shout & holler, insisting that the dog should be put down. Then he went Michael Vick and slammed the dog’s head into a fence!

Now Gerrard, or should I say his attorney Alan Siegel (who’s doing all the talking at the moment) doesn’t see it that way. According to Butler by way of Siegel the Vareckas are negligent owners of an out of control dog. Here’s the official version: “They don’t have it trained. They don’t know what they’re doing with their dog. People are so mean,” Gerard’s manager said, adding that his client spent four hours at an NYC animal hospital waiting for Lolita to be treated and released. “They’re just trying to milk this.”

We’re all cynical enough to believe that this could be an attempt to cash in. We still like Gerry enough to want to give him the benefit of the doubt. However this isn’t the first time Gerry’s got himself in legal trouble over anger management issues. He just recently had to go to court on a charge of assaulting a paparazzi. Now this. He might get off on this too – by way of an out of court settlement. However a pattern is emerging. So at least we’ll be less surprised by the next report of a Butler tantrum.

Angie to Brad – "clean up or get out!"

What’s the point of cruelty if you victim is too stoned to notice?

What’s new with Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie? more of the same: power struggle and ultimatums. Word is that former smack user Angie is now laying down the law to Pitt. She’s ordered him to get clean or else. Since staying stoned out of his mind is the only way that he can continue to live with her, I predict that he’ll eventually choose the ‘or else’. That gal sounds like a real joy to live with, don’t she?

Well something like this was bound to happen once Jennifer Aniston moved on. You know she’s serious about Gerrard Butler (the pair have been photographed holding hands) because she’s keeping the whole thing under wraps, instead of milking it for PR like usual! I just hope Jen has the good sense to stick with Gerry, and not run back to the guy who’s made her life so miserable over the past few years.

The kettle calling the pot smack?

PS Wondertrash would like to note the passing of Dominick Dunne at 83. He’s the guy who helped make celebrity journalism respectable. Some of his recent work, like covering the Phil Spector trial for Vanity Fair, were the only readable parts of the mag (apart from the reams of glossy ads for high end consumer products which seem to take up about 2/3’s of VF). Now that story had to have hit home for him since his own daughter was an actress who had been murdered. Adding to the awkwardness was the fact that Spector had been a friend of his. Rest in peace Dom.

Finally here’s a little something that is pure diversion. The late great Bruce Lee wasn’t only a consummate martial artist, he excellent at other forms of sport as well. Here in the following video Bruce shows that he’s no slouch at ping pong. Of course being Bruce Lee he does it with his only special twist: he uses nun chucks in stead of a ping pong paddle.
