Aw, poor Mischa Barton. We're not generally in the business of feeling sorry for celebrities, but she's just so sad. There she was, the star of a huge hit television show, banger of Stretch Armstrong balls, on top of the world, getting naked in a freaking Richard Attenborough movie. And now here she is, looking alternately emaciated and bloated, trolling public bathrooms, her career rapidly tanking. About those public bathrooms, The Daily Mail says:
'After sitting with a few pals at her VIP table she dragged her friend Bridget into the loos.'They tried to go into the toilet cubicle together but they were stopped by the toilet attendant.
'The lady said to her, "What are you doing? You are not allowed to go in together, you have to come out now."
'Mischa looked really p***ed off and embarrassed but her friend was fine about it.'
Despite a long queue, Mischa then decided to go into another cubicle alone – but her night didn't get any better.
She apparently took so long that the attendant was forced to check if she was feeling okay.
An onlooker said: 'She took so long to emerge that everyone was worried about her.
'At one point the toilet attendant had to knock on her door twice to ask if she was alright. Then her mate was knocking to check she was feeling okay.'
The source added: 'When she came out of the cubicle, she was complaining about people knocking on the door. She looked slightly worse for wear as she attempted to apply her make-up.'
See, the thing is, how can we make fun of that? Sad people make our job harder, and we don't like that. We prefer the whole, "Hey everybody, look at the girl who forgot to buy tampons" over "Hey everybody, look at the poor washed up star with a drug problem." It's much more fun being an asshole when people are stupid rather than pathetic. If only she came out of the stall with her underwear on her head. That we could make fun of.

"career rapidly tanking"? I don't think so. She has a new tv show on the CW that is getting raves and about 5 movies to be released.
So Mischa and her mate were in the queue for the loo?
Now I am not a Mischa fan, so it does pain me to defend her, but she was busy enough to have starred in several movies to be released this year and next. As for the comment by johnny, I don't think the CW is a good place to end up. It is one step above doing infomercials.
I don't know what Mischa has in the pipeline, but starring in a movie about fake lesbian pop stars that only gets released in Russia doesn't exactly sound like the road to an Oscar.
Wait until you see the video footage of what she was actually doing in the loo.
