After starting the year off well being cast for CW's new model based drama, 'The Beautiful Life', things have spun in the complete opposite way for Mischa Barton.

Last week, the actress was reportedly placed under involuntary hold in a psychiatric ward and rumours today are claiming that CW are already trying to recast Barton's character.

However, CW have since rejected these claims stating that they are actually looking for a new female character but this is not to replace Barton's character, Sonja Stone. Production on the show has been rescheduled from July 22nd to July 31st to facilitate the star's treatment.
