Mischa Barton

Mischa Barton, former star of The OC, is never far from the public eye. But if this gentleman's actions are any indication, sitting next to the famous actress doesn't compare to the simple wonders of a digital camera.

Cisco Adler notwithstanding, no one much cares about Mischa these days. At least a lot less than they used to. She was killed off a bad show! Not exactly a good career sign. In the end, we would definitely rather play with a digital camera than Barton or her BFF, Nicole Richie.

Now, Rachel Bilson, on the other hand...

Former OC star Mischa Barton says she loves mushy peas, mashed potatoes and brussell sprouts. In other words, she's a huge fan of English Cuisine.

In related news, T.H. Gossip just announced that it is the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby, and George W. Bush has resigned from office.

It seems Barton, who was born in London but moved to New York when she was just 5, is going back to her cooking roots -- and who can blame her. Even the chocolates taste better across the pond. Assuming you actually digest them, rather than throwing up in the bathroom immediately after, of course.

"I love all the mashed potatoes, the mushy peas and the Brussels sprouts. And oh my God, Cadbury's chocolate! It is so much better than Hershey's which we have in America," said Mischa.

Mischa Barton spent most of her summer in London to attend the world famous acting school Rada. Let's admit it people, she needed it. Her character on The OC? Not un-annoying by any means.

"People seem confused about the idea of me going to school, but I love learning. My course was about Shakespeare and we hardly did any of that at school, it was really exciting to read all the plays."

Sure thing. It's also exciting having eating disorders, we've heard. Every other celebrity seems to be into it! In any case, we're looking forward to a new season of The OC, sans Mischa. Okay, no we're not. But we are big Rachel Bilson fans.

You can't spell OC without Mischa Barton. But you can kill off her character. Here, the wispy Barton makes waves in ruffles at a dinner for designer Jenni Kayne at L.A.'s Curve boutique Friday, the closing day of Los Angeles Fashion Week.

Alongside Mischa is her boyfriend, Cisco Adler. Asked why in the world he is dating Mischa Barton, Adler replied that Rachel Bilson is not available. Just kidding. No way that happened. Nevertheless, this picture confirms one of T.H. Gossip's age-old theories:

Mischa Barton is really thin.

Who wants to be the next Samuel Plouchart?

You know, the random guy that some famous girl dates and has his name in the news for a couple weeks. Harry Morton had the honor for awhile - and where is he now?

Yeah. We have no idea.

But we do know who this Joe Schmo might be dating while enjoying his 15 minutes in the spotlight: Mischa Barton.

The former star of The OC revealed recently that she's just looking for a regular guy:

"I have dated actors and I have to say it's a very odd experience," Barton said.

"It's a little unsettling to be with someone who cares about how they look as much as you do."

Come on,, Mischa, is that possible for you? Pretty boy, David Beckham, doesn't care at all about how he looks compared to you.

If that's your only critera, the dating pool remains wide open. But don't count on Brody Jenner jumping in any time soon. He's spoken for now.

Incredibly, former OC star Mischa Barton is seen here enjoying stroll -- sips of what may be nutrients -- Tuesday on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, California. Then again, we can't confirm anything, since it just might be a $23 designer latte. Biatch.

In addition to her risky fashion choices, Barton continues to sport another accessory: a mystery wrist bandage. Why is she wearing that? We've got a theory. It involves Mischa being so emaciated that she sprained it while picking up one of her precious designer bags, which are manufactured by impoverished children in third-world sweatshops.

On Barton's right is her boyfriend, Cisco Adler. Who the f*&k is Cisco Adler, you ask? We have no idea, but he's obviously a tool. We know this because:

1. He dates Mischa Barton.
2. He hasn't mastered the whole straw-in-mouth thing.

It's October, and you know what that means -- lots and lots of Hollywood news, rumors and breasts here at the Gossip. Oh wait, that's every month.

What makes the 10th month of the year special is Halloween. Given that you always need a lot of ideas before narrowing them down, we've put together some great costumes for you to potentially use. See below, but beware: What you are about to see may scare the ever-loving $h!t out of you.

Scary! Going as any of the freakish ghouls you see above (from left-to-right, Keira Knightley, Kate Bosworth, crystal meth fiend Nicole Richie, whoremonger Lindsay Lohan, and former OC slut Mischa Barton) is guaranteed to scare the crap out of everyone at your Halloween party. The only downside? No Halloween candy. And if you go as Lohan, you have to stay in character and get busy with at least four guys in the bathroom.

It looks like Mischa Barton doesn't have an eye for fashion ... or a clue about manners.

The former (now deceased) star of The OC somehow finagled an invitation to Kensington Palace in London in order to dine with Lord Frederick Windsor, son of Prince Michael of Kent, who's a cousin of the Queen's. (Got all that?)

However, Barton reportedly raised royal ire - and not just because she refused to eat anything. The actress was tapping away at her Blackberry throughout the meal.

Lord Windsor was displeased by the display. While Barton's rep had no comment about the incident, suggest that the good Lord simply steals Mischa's Blackberry password as revenge.

It seemed to work with Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan.

Marissa Cooper is dead!

That's not relevant to this story about former OC star, Mischa Barton, but we just wanted to scream it aloud in ecstasy. Fortunately for this tiny actress, there's an easy way to make money aside from actually earning it with any talent: paid public appearances.

Barton was reportedly paid more than $100,000 for her appearance at David Jones' 2006 summer collection fashion show. Call us conspiracy theorists, but The Gossip thinks Mr. Jones wants a certain someone sport his clothes around Hollywood.

Of course, we wonder how anyone would see the outfits on Barton. What if she turned sideways?

Despite gracing the pages of this month's Vanity Fair, Mischa doesn't consider herself any kind of fashion expert.

"Definitely there's some things from these designers that I want to wear to events … I think it's so funny when people say you're a trendsetter," she said, "I don't know, I'm not good at trends, I don't think I follow trends really."

She certainly doesn't follow decorum or good sense. At a press conference held before the fashion show, Barton wasn't even sure what local designer she was wearing, prompting David Jones' general manager to say:

"She's wearing Scanlan & Theodore and Mischa loves it. Alice McCall she also really enjoys wearing."

But we digress. The point remains: Marissa Cooper is dead!

Hey, anorexic kids, here's a fun game to try at home or on the beach: find a similarly slight friend, stand by side by side and see if anyone walking by can actually see you.

Check out Nicole Richie and new pal, Mischa Barton, to get an idea of how it goes:

Extra points are rewarded to those that can locate boobs on Barton.

First, Mischa Barton was written out of The OC. (Her character, Marissa, now resides in Newport heaven hell.)

With free time suddenly on her hands, what's a rail thin, awful actress to do but attend acting classes in London?

The Gossip supposes it can give props to any thespian that takes a break from the LA and NY club scene in order to enroll at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.

The lessons may even be paying off already. Barton has four feature films coming out, as she expands her resume beyond that of a spoiled California teen.

For the record, that's four more movies that Kevin Federline has in the works.
