Model Mischa Barton poses on the red carpet as she arrives for the screening of film "Loving" in competition at the 69th Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France, May 16, 2016.





Mischa Barton was rushed to the hospital Thursday for a mental evaluation after she was caught on camera hanging over a fence — ranting and raving about her mom being a “witch” and the world ending, a report says.
“Oh my God, it’s over! I feel it, and it’s angry!” the former “O.C.” star reportedly shouted, while standing in the backyard of her West Hollywood home.
According to TMZ, the 31-year-old had been displaying bizarre behavior on Thursday morning, which had her friends and neighbors extremely worried.
Photos obtained by the website show Barton wearing only a dress shirt and what looks to be a tie — as she stands in her backyard, acting erratically.
Sources told TMZ that the actress was rambling on and on about the world “shattering” and her mom being a “witch.” At one point, she also reportedly began yelling something about Ziggy Stardust.
Cops and firefighters eventually responded to a call for a distressed person and voluntarily transported Barton to a hospital for mental evaluation, the sources said.
The incident comes nearly 8 years after the television star was hospitalized and placed under an involuntary psychiatric-hold following an alleged breakdown.
In 2007, she was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, possession of marijuana, and driving without a valid license.

Frank Ocean new album: How to listen and stream Boys Don’t Cry when it drops

After two missed release dates a year apart and a confusing decoy of a “live stream” video, Frank Ocean is set to finally release his second album,  Boys Don’t Cry , on Friday 5 August. It will be launched through an exclusive deal with Apple Music, according to the  New York Times , who cite a ‘person with knowledge of the release plans’. If indeed this is the case (and it would make sense, that live stream has an Apple watermark), it means you’ll need to sign up for Apple Music to listen to the  Channel Orange  follow-up, which costs £9.99 a month (£4.99 for students through Apple’s UNiDAYS promotion). You might want to turn off auto-renewal off though (Apple Music app > profile icon > View Apple ID. > Subscriptions > Manage > switch Auto-Renewal off), if you’re the kind of person who, like me, is liable to forget that you’ve signed up for the service indefinitely. Beyond Apple Music...

Why My Chemical Romance's 'The Black Parade' Was The 'Sgt Pepper' Of The Emo Generation

Secret (or not so secret) noughties emos rejoice! Grab some black hair dye and vow to disown your parents all over again! Because  My Chemical Romance  look  set to reissue an expanded version of 'The Black Parade' , their third and most successful album, for its 10 year anniversary (yes, you really are  that  old).  The news last night, stoked by a  mysterious video  teased on the band's long-dormant Twitter page, was enough to rev some sections of the internet into a frenzy. But what's all the fuss about? Well, the album in question wasn't just the band's best, nor just most succinct album of its genre, it was one of the most important records of the last decade.  An  "ostentatious concept-album-cum-rock-opera about death" , as we described it upon its release, the record is a bombastic tour-de-force that took cues from Green Day's 'American Idiot' (both albums were recorded with the same producer) but sounded nothing like its...
