Mischa Barton: From DUI to MIA

by celebuzz on May. 30, 2008 04:05 PM / 2 Comments

Mischa Barton sure is mercurial.

One minute she's acting all contrite, talking about how she's using her DUI bust as a lesson to become a responsible person. The next she's bailing on promotional duties for her new movie, You and I.

Mischa reportedly went missing in action for the flick's Cannes premiere. Now she's apparently ditched promotional duties for the flick in England, according to the New York Post's Page Six.

According to the film's director, Roland Joffé, Barton "hasn't pulled out of interviews, she's pulled out of everything. Her room is here, she is here, but trying to get the two together has just been impossible. We just don't know where Mischa is."

Actually, skulking away when the press scrutiny gets too intense is nothing new for Mischa.

Last year, persistent queries about a DUI caused her to edge out of a Vegas gig. Now, it's lingering party-girl speculation and the ripples of her backside that might have her seeking greener pastures.

So, coming soon to a dairy cooler near you: Milk cartons with Mischa's pic on them, under the caption, "Have you seen this stoned, overprivileged, cellulite-carrying pain in the ass?"

Quotables /

“Actress Mischa Barton is supposed to be promoting her new movie, but she has been missing in action!

Her new film, "You and I," premiered at Cannes, and instead of attending the interviews and whatnot, she opted to get wasted instead. She’s supposed to be doing interviews in London right now, but no one can even find her!

Mischa needs to get her act together! Critics and bloggers are already saying her career is over, and this isn't any way to prove them wrong!”

“Mischa Barton and boyfriend Taylor Locke storm past photographers with a huge bottle of tequila to their hotel on Wednesday in London, England .

Mischa, 22, was in a bad mood and covered her face to try and avoid being photographed.

The ex-"O.C." actress is reportedly set to star in Simon Fellows‘ "Malice in Wonderland" opposite Danny Dyer. The film will be a creepy adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland with a modern twist. Good luck.”

“Mischa Barton works out a black sexy mini at Britain’s Best 2008 at London Television Studios on Sunday.

The 22-year-old former "O.C." star apparently snubbed the premiere of her new movie at the Cannes Film Festival.

Mischa’s character, Lana Starkova, is an aspiring model who finds herself dealing with the unsavory side of the fashion industry when she turns up for a casting. Her character is a Russian lesbian who falls in love at a t.A.T.u concert.

According to sources, Mischa thought the film was awful and didn’t want to be involved in the project.”

I don't blame her for wanting to get out of the spotlight. Disappearing is the only way to do it in Hollywood.
