'Too fat' Mischa ordered to lose 10lbs

by Daily Gossip Aug 21st 2009 8:51AM

Poor Mischa Barton, as if she hasn't had enough on her plate already (no pun intended) - now movie bosses are telling her she needs to lose weight.

The troubled actress, who was forcibly taken into psychiatric care last month amid rumours of her party lifestyle getting out of hand, is reported to have been told by executives that she's too plump for her role as a model in The Beautiful Life.

Star magazine claims she was "shocked to tears" when she was told that she would need to slim down.

The mag quoted a source as saying: "She knows that means they are calling her fat behind her back.

"She knows she is heavier than she needs to be but to hear it like that? It really shook her. How can Mischa play a model when she's looking so heavy?

"She's broken down in tears more than once before shooting. It's a lot of pressure for someone who is just out of hospital."

Mischa is said to be doing her best to lose weight as quickly as she can, but as we all know - it's a lot easier to put it on than it is to get it off again!

Thats terrible, she looks much better now than she did when she was so skinny, in the O.C.
She should pick another role, these people will drive her to have an eating disorder.

Oh that's really clever isn't it, telling a beautiful young girl who has a lovley figure she's "plump". That's not going to send her back to the funny farm is it?
Good luck to her, ignore the negative press and get yourself better x x

That is absolutely de-plorable, not just to say that to Mischa, but for the message that sends out to other woman and girls.Who ever said that ought to be dragged through the coals.It's obvious that, the poor girl is suffering with other demons at the moment. Then to be told that, is simply thoughtless and cruel.
Leave her alone, I think she looks wonderful.

She looks fantastic, why aren't there laws to stop this sort of thing going on. It is disgusting.

The government wonders why so many youngsters/teenagers are suffering from eating disorders and are body conscious. Well people like this is tell a slim girl to loose weight makees young people feel pressured into this sort of thing. Plus she would probably get sacked if she don't.

Gordon Brown, you waste of space, get off your backside instead of sitting there drinking coffee and spirits and earning mega bucks and sort this disgusting mess out.

All these glamour magazines etc should be banned or at least have strict rules. Society gone crazy.
