The Shortlist for July 17

Access Hollywood is reporting that Mischa Barton is in the hospital under an involuntary 72-hour psychiatric hold. Mischa was supposed to make an appearance at the premiere of her new movie "Homecoming" on Wednesday night, before police were called to her house in response to an undisclosed "medical issue."

Her absence, one producer admitted, was "frustrating" and surprising since the actress seemed "not at all" unstable on set. (US)

A newly single Tony Romo was spotted out partying with another Simpson-sister ex, Ryan Cabrera. Life & Style reports, "He and Ryan were inseparable. They were hugging each other and giggling while they checked out all the hot chicks dancing onstage."

Seeing as Ryan and Tony are both veteran Simpson-daters (Tony, of course, recently broke up with Jessica, while Ryan dated Ashlee and used to have Papa Joe Simpson as his manager) we're sure they have plenty to … commiserate, er, talk about. (Life & Style)
