Heartbroken Mischa calls on Jake Gyllenhaal.

Lord only knows why, but Mischa Barton has been struggling to save her relationship with scruffy Whitestarr frontman, Cisco Adler. The couple recently broke up, but as newly-surfaced pictures can attest, they spent some time together in the week leading up to the Oscars. Sources claim the reunion was a rocky one, however, and Mischa wound up seeking comfort in the arms of another young Hollywood scenester, Jake Gyllenhaal.

Mischa and Jake met up last month in London while attending the BAFTA awards. During their meeting, Mischa scored Jake’s phone number. A witness to the digit-swapping told Australian magazine, Dolly, “They swapped numbers and when he walked away [Mischa] did a little victory dance to her friend."

Looks like Jake’s phone number came in handy. An insider told British tabloid The Daily Star about Mischa’s recent tiff with Cisco: "Mischa had enjoyed a great weekend with Cisco at lost of pre-Oscars parties. At the time she looked like a love-sick puppy but Cisco looked uncomfortable. A few days later they were having coffee at the Beverly Hills Hotel when Cisco suddenly skulked off - and Mischa looked gutted. When Cisco didn't come back, she made arrangements to meet Jake."

Mischa should stick with Jake, if you ask us. He’s a certainly a step up from Cisco. Mischa will have to start roughing it if she and Jake are going to last, though. Gyllenhaal is more fond of taking his dogs for a walk through Runyon Canyon than going for a day of shopping at Chanel.
