Like a typical lawyer, Popsquire enjoys a good slip and fall…

Mischa Barton is back at work on the NYC set of her upcoming CW show, following her recent 5150 stint.

It’s good to see her back at work, BUT why is only one dog on a leash? Either someone else is walking that dog, or her character better get fined for violating NYC dog leash laws!

Mischa Barton’s new CW show, A Beautiful Life, may not be on hold, even though Mischa is on the 5150 kind.

A spokesperson for the CW told TVGuide.com that the July 22 production start date for the show remains unchanged, and the show is slated to premiere as planned on Wednesday, Sept. 16.
That’s strange, given that the show’s star may not be well enough to work. Does this mean the CW is setting the stage to fire Mischa if she doesn’t show up to work in two days?
Let’s hope not! State and federal disability laws require employers to provide disabled employees with a reasonable accommodation, unless it would impose and undue hardship on the company.
The definition of “undue hardship” can be vague, but delaying production for a short period of time to accommodate Mischa’s medical needs seems pretty reasonable to Popsquire.
PS: An insider tells Popsquire that Mischa is very well liked by the show’s writing staff and that she doesn’t deserve the bad rap she often gets.
UPDATE: The CW has decided to posptone production one week, until July 31. Good move!

The LAPD placed Mischa Barton on a 5150 hold last night. So sad.
[Bauer Griffin Online]
According to Access Hollywood, authorities responded to a non-911 call from Mischa’s LA residence around 3 PM yesterday. A patrol car assisted the actress with a “medical issue,” and transported her to Cedars-Sinai for medical treatment.
Under California law, Mischa can be held against her will for up to 72 hours. Of course, you know that already, thanks to Britney Spears circa January 2008.
Get better soon, Mischa!

Hollyscoop broke the news early this morning that Mischa Barton was arrested in West Hollywood on suspicion of DUI, possession of narcotics and driving on a suspended license. Bail has been set at $10,000.
Popsquire has the legal scoop, of course…
First time DUI offenders can face any of the following penalties:
And, like any good lawyer, Popsquire did his research on the accused. For a little bit of irony, check out this interview with Mischa in which she discusses being a good role model for young girls. Start at 3:30 to get the right clip. Enjoy.
