Mischa Barton was removed from her West Hollywood home Wednesday by police, an LAPD spokesperson confirms to Usmagazine.com.

“We responded to her home last night on a medical issue,” Officer April Harding tells Us. “We assisted with it. She was removed from her home.”

Harding tells Us no 911 call was received, and that she was not sure if Barton, 23, was in distress. When asked if the actress was cooperative, she tells Us: “I guess.”

Harding did not release details on where Barton was taken, citing California privacy laws.

A source tells Us Barton called the police herself after having a “freak out.”

The actress — best known for her role on The O.C. — was charged in 2008 with DUI and marijuana possession. She was sentenced to 36 months probation, told to attend alcohol education classes and pay a fine.

Barton checked into rehab after the incident, she said, because “I wanted to prove to the court that I would take it completely seriously.

“I went to rehab to prove I was sober,” continued Barton in an interview with UK Marie Claire.

She’s set to star in Beautiful Life, premiering this fall on the CW.

As a bathing-suit-clad Khloe Kardashian stood by the pool at NYC’s Hotel Gansevoort on July 9 at her exclusive photo shoot with Life & Style, she appeared to be a woman without any body insecurity. But things were very different for her growing up. “I used to get teased all the time as a kid,” the reality-TV star tells Life & Style. “People [even in more recent years] would come up to me and be like, ‘Oh, you’re the fat, funny one.’ I would wonder, is that who I am?”

Khloe’s still funny, but no one can call her fat anymore. By working out about 45 minutes a day, five days a week, and maintaining a balanced, practical diet, she shed 20 pounds from her 5-foot-9 frame over four weeks. “I’m now a size 6, but I’ve been up to a size 10 in the past,” says the 25-year-old, who stars with her closeknit clan on E!’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians and co-owns the upscale boutique Dash with her sisters.

Khloe says she started emotionally eating when her parents, Robert and Kris Kardashian, were going through a divorce. “You just don’t understand stress like that when you’re younger,” she says. And her roller-coaster eating habits meant she also took dieting to a dangerously extreme level. “I was anorexic when I was 15 — I’d be obsessed with working out, and I’d never eat,” says Khloe. “That was the worst I’ve ever been. I’ve been very underweight and then overweight by about 30 pounds.”

After packing on the pounds again after her dad’s death in 2003, she expressed interest in working out, and Kim gave her that extra push. “We just started doing it together,” says Khloe, who adds that she and Kim, 28, both have a sweet tooth and keep each other’s snacking habits in check. “Just having someone’s encouragement makes it so much easier.” Kim’s happy to help. “I’m so proud of Khloe,” she tells Life & Style. “She looks amazing.”

After jetting off to Saint-Tropez with new girlfriend Hailey Glassman and spending time on the yacht of clothing designer Christian Audigier, a solo Jon Gosselin arrived back home in Pennsylvania on Wednesday for a joyful reunion with his kids. Clearly excited, several of the Gosselin’s eight children surround their father in the driveway, shouting, “Daddy, Daddy.”

While Gosselin’s children were tended to by their nanny, Jon’s estranged wife Kate was apparently not at home. Later, the reality star can be seen stepping outside their house, where a friend had dropped off a motorcycle. Jon then takes the bike for a test drive.

Later in the afternoon, with all of the kids inside, Jon walked around the vast yard in front and in back of the house, spending most of his time chatting on his cell phone.

While in the South of France, Gosselin, 32, happily posed for pictures with Glassman, 22, and even contemplated collaborating on a clothing lines with Audigier, the designer behind the Ed Hardy brand. But even on vacation, Gosselin told PEOPLE, he was always thinking of his family. “Every 10 minutes I keep thinking about the kids and missing them,” he said.

“Mady keeps calling me and asking me if I’m in France, but she doesn’t understand where France is,” he continued. “I’m really looking forward to seeing them again in a few days.”

In London to unveil her new album at a VIP party Tuesday night, Whitney Houston – looking glam in a black and white Dolce & Gabbana gown – signaled she was back.

With her mentor, music mogul Clive Davis, playing nine tracks from her upcoming album to be released in September, Houston, 45, “looked radiant,” a source at the party at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel tells People.

“She gave an amazing speech saying how much the album comes from the heart and telling of her love for Clive Davis,” the source added. “She was also saying how much she loved being in London … and you could tell she was happy to be here.”

The CD will be Houston’s seventh studio album and represents a comeback after a seven-year hiatus that included some well-publicized troubles. As for the album, some of the songs were finished and others not, a source tells People.

Thanking Davis, Houston told party guests, “When Clive called me I was pretty ready to buy my island home [and retire], but he said, ‘No, you’re going to sing again, people want to hear you,’ ” reports Billboard.com.

She added, “I hope that these songs stay with you for a lifetime.” Davis assured the crowd that “you won’t forget it after you hear it.”

Among the tracks heard were the title song “I Look To You,” by R. Kelly, and an Alicia Keys song, “One Million Dollar Bill.” Also included was a Diane Warren-penned song, “I Don’t Know My Own Strength,” and a duet with Akon, “Like I Never Left.”

I love her music and I cannot wait until her new album comes out!

On what was supposed to be Jessica Simpson’s celebratory birthday weekend, Tony Romo was the one who seemed to be having the time of his life.

The Dallas Cowboys quarterback, 29, was spotted out at Hollywood hotspot MyHouse on Friday – the night he was supposed to be at Simpson’s 29th Barbie-and-Ken-themed birthday bash – for “a typical guys night out,” says one onlooker. “Tony’s table was packed with people. He was talking to several girls throughout the night.”

According to a source, his friends decided to take their recently single pal out to “lift his spirits. His friends wanted him to have some fun before football training camp starts.”

Done and done: Romo recovered from his late night Friday romp by lounging poolside with his pals at the Sunset Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood on Saturday afternoon. “The guys were mellow, had a few beers and Tony seemed fine,” says a witness. “There were no girls around. It seemed more like a relaxed boys weekend.”

By Monday the guys were recharged ready for more, hitting up West Hollywood’s Key Club – ironically the same place where Romo serenaded Simpson for her birthday last year. “The night was non-eventful,” says manager Mark “Skip” Bucculoa. “Tony stayed low-key. He just rolled in with a group of guys.”

Tuesday Romo was spotted rolling solo to L.A. shop Affliction, picking up some T-shirts and board-shorts. He reportedly shot a Pepsi commercial that morning and is expected in Tahoe for the Celebrity Golf Week July 14 through 19. No word on when the real Pepsi ad will air, but on FunnyOrDie.com a new Romo spoof popped up, highlighting the athlete’s comedic chops.

Regardless, Romo better take advantage of the free time while he can: The NFL star is set to start pre-season training on July 29.
