Mischa Barton is speaking out for the first time since she was hauled away to the psychiatric ward of Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, CA last month after it was reported she suffered a mental breakdown. Just weeks after she was hospitalized in LA, Mischa made her way to NYC to begin production on her new CW TV series The Beautiful Life (in the role of a fashion model with a penchant for drugs). Time Out New York magazine scored the exclusive first interview with Mischa wherein she explains in her own words what happened last month. Here are excerpts from her interview that focus on her mental breakdown:

As part of its Fall Fashion issue, on stands September 10, Time Out New York met with Mischa Barton for her first in-depth interview since being placed under alleged “involuntary psychiatric hold” at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in July. Other medical issues nearly delayed filming of her New York–set TV series, The Beautiful Life: TBL. Barton, 23, plays model Sonja Stone, a drugged-up diva trying to get her career back on track (real life, meet show!). Yet during our talk—on the couch in a Tribeca photo studio—the O.C. starlet looks healthy, sits tall and comes off as self-aware and self-deprecating …

A lot of people are watching you now, speculating you were in rehab back in July.
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. 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.

Is this when you were checked into Cedars?
Yeah, 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—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.

How did you end up in a psychiatric hospital?
I was down in the dumps about everything there for a while. 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.

Was it an official nervous breakdown? Drugs?
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. 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.

How long were you in Cedars?
They don’t keep you in the hospital. I wasn’t there very long.

Did you sit around sharing feelings and making mosaics—that kind of thing actually helped someone I know who was in an institution.
Not really.

Did they teach you how to deal with the pain?
Not really. I just wanted to get back to work. 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. My mom was like, “Now’s a good time to get it done, before the show.” And it was the worst time to do it.

What was it like for your mom?
[Rolls eyes] I don’t know. [Looks away] It was miserable for everyone. But I really don’t know.

Is your mom the one who admitted you into the hospital involuntarily?
[Nods yes and rolls eyes again] I’ll tell you that story but not the whole world. The funny thing is, if all this happened in New York, no one would care.

People would be like, “Nervous breakdown? I had one yesterday too. Where are we going to brunch?”
[Laughs] Yes, exactly, New York lets you be who you are, and people aren’t as judgmental. I’m so glad to be back here.

HMMM … I have to say all the “eye rolling” sounds as if she doesn’t understand the severity of her dangerous behavior. Where it not for her mother who wouldn’t let her “be who [she] is” who knows what could’ve happened to her. Earlier in the interview she mentions how she’s been going to nightclubs (with designer Zac Posen) since she was 15 because she “grew up in New York and [she] grew up fast” … it seems that she didn’t quite learn all the lessons that she prolly should have. To be honest, I’m glad that she seems to be OK now and that she seems more focused but … I dunno … I really fear that her reckless behavior might have very unfortunate circumstances some day. Eye rolling aside, I truly hope she has learned to curb her dangerous behavior … for her own good.

And so … my NYC NINventure has come to a close. Last night, Nine Inch Nails played their second show at Terminal 5, which was their last in NYC for the foreseeable future. It’s hard to believe that all 4 NYC shows are over already but the band are already on their way to Chicago, IL for the 2 shows there before they make their way to Canada for their final festival performance there. Last night’s Terminal 5 show clocked in at about 2 hours and 45 minutes and provided a raucously fun send off for the NYC fans:

Peter Murphy was, once again, a special guest performer for last night’s show but he managed to out do his surprise appearance at Tuesday night’s show. After the jump, check out a few of my photos, check out the full 32 song setlist and watch video of NIN performing the amazing song Something I Can Never Have …

Last weekend we learned that the home of Lindsay Lohan was burglarized while she was out of town and believes that mebbe it was an inside job. Police have released surveillance footage of the culprits and are asking YOU for your help in apprehending them. Do any of these people look familiar to you?

Police are looking for three suspects in the burglary of Lindsay Lohan’s home. The Los Angeles Police Department has released surveillance camera footage of the Sunday break-in at the “Mean Girls” star’s house. The footage shows three people, whose faces are covered with scarves, walking through a gate at Lohan’s Hollywood Hills home and entering a courtyard at around 1:10 a.m. LAPD detectives believe the suspects – one male and two females, all 18 to 25 years old – entered the house through an unlocked door, then ransacked it and took property. Lohan’s spokeswoman, Leslie Sloane-Zelnik, said the break-in happened Sunday while the actress and her younger sister were away. Sloane-Zelnik said many of Lohan’s “personal belongings were taken without remorse.” Lohan posted on Twitter she didn’t think it was a robbery because “things that a certain old friend knew meant a lot to me” were taken.

Dastardly!! TMZ believes that the crooks who broke into L. Lo‘s place may be the same crooks who broke into Audrina Patridge‘s home back in February. Could there be a new clan of cat burglars roaming the streets of Hollywood terrorizing celebs? I fear if they are not apprehended soon they might strike again … any guesses on who might get robbed next?

After seeing photos of Zac Efron half-dressed on the high seas and half-dressed on dry land, both while in Vancouver, BC filming his new movie Charlie St. Cloud, today we get to see photos of the lad fully dressed with his young co-star Charlie Tahan who plays the younger St. Cloud brother in the film … behold:

Yes, yes … I know … he’s fully dressed AND wearing a long sleeve shirt … BUT his thermal shirt is tight enough to show off the muscles that he’s been blatantly flashing lately so … it ain’t all bad. It would appear that the actors are getting in a bit of male bonding in between takes, which should help them make their brotherly relationship more believable on screen. It stands to reason that Zac will be getting back to his half-dressed ways in no time … we hope.

Last week we saw a couple photos of Miss Piggy hangin’ with fashion designer Marc Jacobs at his NYC design studio in SoHo where she was getting a look at some of his new designs for the new season. Piggy was lookin’ for an outfit to wear to last weekend’s Glamorama event in Chicago, IL. I understand that Miss Thang made a huge splash at the event and even made a new friend … here’s a pic of Miss Piggy with her newest BFF Ne-Yo on the red carpet at Macy’s Glamorama event last weekend:

I hear, and I swear I’m not making this up, that Miss Piggy performed at the Glamorama event dressed as Lady Gaga. I understand she did a full performance of Poker Face in full Gaga costume … tho, I hope she changed the lyrics to Pork-er Face cuz that would’ve been more apropos, yes? In any event, it looks like Miss Piggy is really making the rounds these days … I wonder where and with whom she’ll show up next.

In recent weeks we’ve seen photos of Kevin Federline, ex-husband of Britney Spears and father of her two children, expanding to maximum density right before our eyes … but today we get to see him doing something very sweet for his children which proves, I suppose, that K-Fed does more than just eat these days. Here are pics of The Federline, his ladyfriend Victoria Prince and his sons Sean Preston and Jayden James (with nanny in tow) enjoying a day at the Central Park Zoo here in NYC this week:

You know the kids had a great time at the zoo so I cannot fault their father wanting to share the day with them. I just think it would be nice if he actually worked a profession (other than rap music, mind you) in order to support his children rather than live on the money he siphons from his very rich ex-wife. I just hope, in the long run, that Federline turns out to be a good role model for his sons. I honestly don’t believe he is much of a role model to his other children (with Shar Jackson) but one hopes that he will be a better one for his young sons. Going on trips to the zoo is fun and all but one hopes the kids get more than that in the long run.

Eliza Dushku is interviewed in the new issue of TV Guide magazine wherein she talks about the upcoming second season of Dollhouse which she describes as “racier” and “deeper”. The magazine also gives us our first look at Eliza (in character as Echo) with season premiere guest star Jamie Bamber (ex-Battlestar Galactica, who we learned last month would be guesting on the show). Here is that promo pic and Eliza‘s interview:

It isn’t playtime in The Dollhouse anymore. Stars Eliza Dushku and Tamoh Penikett are promising that, after some growing pains in the freshman season, Dollhouse is darker, racier and rougher than ever for Season 2. “I just finished episode 3 and I’m proud of the show already,” Dushku told TVGuideMagazine.com. “It’s different, it’s racier and it’s deeper. We found that rhythm and now we’re just blowing it out of the water. Everyone is really in their skin and comfortable playing around with the light and the dark,” she explained, noting series creator Joss Whedon nailed the show’s stride in its final first-season episode. “The cast all settled in to their roles, and then in the 13th episode things shot into the future and everyone got an idea where they might go – the dark places – and everyone came back with a confidence.” That confidence meant a willingness to push the boundaries, action-wise: “I learned how to beat up boys using a private jet as a weapon,” she chuckles. “I beat these guys with a jet. I got married in one of the first episodes. I had beaucoup bruises and bumps and fights already.” As far as the racier side, Dushku makes it sounds motherly for a moment before her big reveal. “I was shooting with babies this week, which was interesting and different, and there was an actual what-people-do-with-babies thing going on.” She pulled at her shirt collar to flash a little skin and laughed. “There was a lot going on!” There’s also a possible romance brewing. “Tahmoh’s in The Dollhouse now and there’s a lot of chemistry, a lot of things building with Echo and Agent Ballard, so that’s a little tease,” she said, adding “I’m teased, too. I don’t know what’s going to happen. Joss will come in and start snickering and whistling.” “I just read the fourth episode a few days ago and it’s awesome,” agreed Penikett. “It’s dark. I’m going to tell you: this is really one of the darker things that Joss Whedon has done. At the same time because there’s a brilliant writing staff they manage to have some light moments.” Penikett’s also looking forward to a reunion of sorts with his Battlestar Galactica co-stars on Dollhouse. “We’ve got Jamie Bamber in the first episode and then we have Michael Hogan in the second episode,” he said. “I’d definitely like to take credit for that but it wasn’t like that. Joss Whedon is a huge fan of Battlestar and ultimately it was about him wanting to bring in some very talented actors who were great for the parts. It’s awesome because for both of them it’s very much a departure from the characters that they play on Battlestar.”

A romance betwixt Echo and Agent Ballard, you say? Oh man … I kinda love that. As much as I loved the little thing that went on between Ballard and November (Miracle Laurie), I wouldn’t mind seeing him dabble in Echo‘s waters. I can’t even begin to express how excited I am that both Jamie Bamber and Michael Hogan from Battlestar Galactica will be guesting on the show. While I’m most anxious for Buffyverse alums Alexis Denisof and Summer Glau to join the cast, having some of the Battlestar folks on the show will amp up the geek factor and make an already awesome show even awesomer. Bring it on! I cannot wait!!

UPDATE: I was *just* sent a press release from FOX about Dollhouse Season 2 that reveals which characters Alexis Denisof, Summer Glau and other guest stars will portray on the show. Because this may be a bit spoilery, I’ll keep that info behind the cut. Good news, tho, the press release promises the return of Dr. Claire Saunders/Whiskey!!!!! Read on if you want to find out …

Kylie Minogue is featured in the new issue of BlackBook magazine this month wherein she talks, of course, about her upcoming first-ever North American tour set to kick off in Oakland, CA next month. Kylie‘s accompanying 2-photo spread showcases her wonderfully chic style, including her penchant for wearing half-masks (like the one she sometime wears in concert). Behold, the Phantom of the Popera:

Kylie Minogue has nothing to prove. She’s the sweetheart of just about every nation in the world. Countless European tabloid covers have devoted serious headline space to her romance with Italian pin-up Andrés Velencoso, 10 years her junior. The mini-divinity has not one, but five fragrances. She was even honored with the prestigious Order of the British Empire and the French Order of Arts and Letters. So why, exactly, has Minogue’s career not taken off Stateside? Maybe it’s because she hasn’t toured in North America since first chugging along to “The Loco- Motion” in 1987. Even Neighbours, the TV soap opera that gave birth to her illustrious career, was broadcast almost exclusively for Australian and European audiences. But all that’s about to change as the gamine, 41-year-old entertainer from Down Under takes her spectacular live show this side of the pond for the first time ever. Through each endeavor and incarnation—from Charlene, the garage mechanic on Neighbours, to the early-’90s shiny bubblegum-pop princess and the moody soul-searcher alongside Nick Cave, to the breast cancer survivor and activist—Kylie stays Kylie. Both sexy and likeable, she is the diva-next-door.

Wee!! Love, love, love her … and this interview, while not too terribly enlightening, is very cute. I am so happy that she is getting press here in the US … first it was Instinct magazine and now BlackBook. I actually found out about this BlackBook interview by way of Kylie‘s official Twitter account (she has recently joined Twitter and has been posting pretty regularly). After the jump, check out Kylie‘s BB interview and check out a couple of her personal photos that she posted to her Twitter profile …

My, my … but aren’t those wee Beckham boys growing up fast? Yesterday we saw photos of the Beckham Bunch celebrating middle son Romeo Beckham‘s 7th birthday bit early (his actual bday is September 1) and today we get to see just how “grown up” they all are. Here are a couple photos of Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz hangin’ out with 3 lovely young ladies in SoCal yesterday afternoon:

One presumes the youngsters were chaperoned but, then again, mebbe not. Clearly, the young men have grown beyond the stage of fearing girl cooties cuz they all look like they are having a fun time together … and there’s one girl for each of the boys. Seriously, this is way too cute … but shouldn’t be too surprising. Is there anyone out there who didn’t believe that the sons of Beckham would grow up to be lady killer Casanovas? To be honest, tho, I just didn’t expect them to get started on their fated path so soon … shows what I know ;)
