Mischa Barton Club

According to www.freshnews.in, Mischa Barton gave an interview toMischa Hates Drunk Driversstating that she hates drunk driving. That is one of the reasons why she was ashamed of her self when she got arrested.

“The thing is, I hate drunk drivers. Living in L.A., I can”t stand them, and that’’s why I was so disappointed in myself. I wanted to prove to the court that I would take it completely seriously, so I went to rehab to prove I was sober.”

“It really helped in getting the more serious aspects of my case dropped because, you know, that’’s what they want to hear: you”re not an alcoholic, and you don”t have a problem,” Mischa added.

It is great to know that she is sorry about her DUI, and that she is taking a stand against drunk driving,

According to timesofindia.indiatimes.com, Mischa Barton does not want to live the “showbiz lifestyle.”

“I recommend taking Hollywood with a pinch of salt. I get to meet and work with a lot of interesting people and have opportunities to do quality work,” Mischa said.

Barton continues, “I try to avoid getting too embedded in the ”Hollywood” lifestyle, I love to travel and I have my family and my life outside of work. Although Hollywood mainly offers me access to the industry, I also love the beach, boogie boarding and the weather.”

Mischa said that she would not date an actor. “I would rather date outside of the industry. I think actors are a special breed, it takes a specific personality to be an actor - there needs to be some kind of balance.”

I wonder what she means by actors are a special breed? To me, what she means is not dating inside of the industry that is entertainment. But… As long as she is happy. But she is in a way right. I always say that actors should not marry actress etc.

According to www.usmagazine.com, Mischa finally talks about her DUI.

“That was a low point for me. I never, ever would have thought I would be arrested,” Mischa told Nylon magazine for the August issue.

 ”I was disappointed because it associated me with a group of girls that I would rather not be associated with. That was the biggest bummer for me – I didn’t leave my house. I was too embarrassed. They made such a big deal out of it with these other young actresses, that, for a little bit, I wanted to crawl into a hole and die,” Barton said.

 ”It was a stupid thing to do,” Mischa said,. “But… I’ve done a lot to pay back for what I did.”

And she has. Not only what the judge gave out, but also with the media retelling what happened over and over. They would not let it drop.

 Mischa continues “I make mistakes, and I never claimed to be perfect. It’s weird. The way I live my life, I don’t want to be so closeted that I just have to shut myself off and become some protected young starlet that’s removed from reality, but I was also just shocked at what a big deal people made out of it.”

According to Charlene Cheng, the news editor of www.ifmagazine.com, Mischa Barton will be at The Teen Choice Awards.

The awards will be on Aug. 4th, at 8PM/7PMC on Fox Channel.

I can not wait to see the awards show.

Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain,”follows the story of a chemical spillage in India,” and is direct by Ravi Kumar.

Barton will be joining the Julie Delpy and Martin Sheen. The movie is scheduled to be released later this year.

According to The Guardian, Mischa Barton loves to shop for clothes, but who can blame her.

“I do, particularly for vintage … But I’m not big into the act of trying things on. I just like scrounging around for stuff, I’ll only try it on if it looks like a really suspicious buy.”

I do not like to try things on either, but we may have different reasons. I am not sure what her’s is, but I am afraid that I will not look very good in a piece of clothing that I really want.

When asked what can’t she live without Barton said, “My iPod. I buy a lot of music. I listen mostly to classic rock. Led Zeppelin, Band America, Modest Mouse, Kings of Leon, things like that.” When promoted she did bring her Black Berry also, but “Yeah, that’s pretty essential, but I wish I could live without it sometimes.”

According to Dimi Gaidatzi from People.com, www.people.com, Mischa Barton is enjoying her stay in Paris. She has been busy touring Paris.

“I love the art and the museums. So far I have been hanging out, really – going to art exhibitions, lots of museums. I’ll have my place there for about a year,” said Barton.

I cannot grasp the idea that there are many art exhibitions and museums there. There maybe only one of each where I live. But… When I think of Paris, I do picture people painting and writing poetry.

Mischa Barton’s handbags will be out in July 2008, in London, according to www.telegraph.co.uk.

For the most part, Barton designed them on her own, “I didn’t have anybody designing with me. Though that doesn’t mean I won’t - and maybe it would be a good idea if I did.” Mischa said. “All they did was let me know what leather was out there and send me swatches. That kind of thing. There was a lot of sending things back and forth.”

I have seen a couple of pictures of the handbags and they look great. The cost of the bags are anywhere from £25 to £170.
