For Sale: Mischa Barton’s Mansion

Posted by Kate Alvarez as Mischa Barton at 11:00 AM UTC on Mar, 15 2010

Got $8.4 million to spare? Then you could purchase Mischa’s Beverly Hills pad. The 7,600 square foot house has six bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, two guesthouses, a swimming pool, terrace, media room, rustic chef’s kitchen, library, sunroom, and spa. The European-style villa is located in a gated community where you can see views of serene canyons with your Hollywood celebrity neighbors.

According to Daily Mail, the actress put her mansion up for sale following financial problems and career struggles. In January, she reportedly was sued for three months of unpaid rent on her New York apartment. She also has been struggling to get better acting jobs after being axed out of The OC and after her show The Beautiful Life was cancelled.

Mischa’s Blonde Ambition

Posted by Kate Alvarez as Mischa Barton at 11:00 AM UTC on Feb, 19 2010

I never realized how long it takes for brunettes such as myself to transform into blondes. Thanks to Mischa Barton, I think I’ll go blonde some other time. The very hardworking paparazzi documented her transformation from longhaired brunette to shorthaired blondie. Read on if you care.

Step 1: Get photographed at a red carpet event with your existing hairstyle in order for people to make comparisons later.

Step 2: Book an appointment at a posh hair salon in Beverly Hills. Spend eight hours getting every strand bleached to perfection. I wonder if they had enough magazines to read.

Step 3: Look at the mirror and admire your new hair color. Ask your hairstylist to finish your look with a new haircut.

Step 4: Show off your new ‘do to the very patient paparazzi who waited eight hours for you at the parking lot.

Mischa in “Law & Order”

Posted by Kate Alvarez as Mischa Barton at 11:26 PM UTC on Jan, 19 2010

Remember how Mischa Barton’s been trying to get back into the game? While fans (this writer included) are praying that The Beautiful Life gets enough hits and sponsors on YouTube, Mischa is busy stepping up on other projects—no matter how big or small.

She just wrapped up her cameo on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, wherein she plays Gladys, a hooker who has a mysterious connection with Mariska Hargitay’s character Olivia. The episode will be aired on March 3.

Here she is on the set in New York City just yesterday. Props to the costume department! Nothing spells prostitute than overdone bright colors combined with mismatched prints.

Ashton Saves The Beautiful Life

Posted by Kate Alvarez as Ashton Kutcher, Ben Hollingsworth, Corbin Bleu, Elle Macpherson, Mischa Barton, Nico Tortorella, Sara Paxton at 12:40 AM UTC on Jan, 07 2010

In my recent post, I talked about Mischa Barton’s short-lived TV series, A Beautiful Life, which was cancelled after two episodes last September because it failed to reach the targeted ratings.

Producer Ashton Kutcher is refusing to give up on his show, because he believes that “Nobody knew [The Beautiful Life] was on for two episodes, so the rating on TV wasn’t happening.” He decided to put the series on youtube, believing that more than half a million people will watch it. Watch his message about the show here:

He was right. The first youtube episode got more than half a million viewers soon after it was posted in mid-December. Five episodes have already been released, and have earned almost three million views altogether.

TBL is a New York City drama is about the underbelly world of modeling—cutthroat competitions, go-sees, the glamorous and not-so-glamorous sides of running in heels. It’s like America’s Next Top Model turned into a Gossip Girl-type of series. The best part is: there are no screaming, overexcited Tyra fans.

The show stars Mischa Barton as supermodel Sonja Stone, Ben Hollingsworth as newbie model Chris Andrews, and Sara Paxton as the new “it” girl Raina Marrinelli. Other noteworthy cast members include Corbin Bleu (a great jump out of the Disney mold), Nico Tortorella, and Elle Macpherson.

Ashton, a former model himself, is not a newbie to web success. Remember how he turned Twitter into a household name when he was the first to hit a million followers? Now that TBL has proven its point that it is a must-see show, Ashton isn’t keen on getting it back to TV-land. The youtube-based TV show is so successful that it will run for the next six months, and Ashton believes he can lure in more sponsors.

Electronics company Hewlett-Packard is the show’s first sponsor, which helped scrap the 10-15 minute time limit per webisode. Each TBL episode lasts for a full 40 minutes in high resolution with no commercial breaks. Hey, that’s even better than looking for blurry online streamings of Gossip Girl and Glee!

Get hooked on The Beautiful Life here.

The Resuscitation of Mischa Barton

Posted by Kate Alvarez as Mischa Barton at 3:46 AM UTC on Jan, 06 2010

She used to top Hollywood’s A-List. Now Mischa is sliding down the celebrity ladder faster than you can spell O.C.

Exhibit A: In April 2008, she received three years’ probation for a DUI she committed the previous winter.

Exhibit B: In July, she was hospitalized and placed under Section 5150 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code, which means that “authorities can hold a person involuntarily if they present a danger to themselves or others, are gravely disabled, or suffer from a mental disorder.” Yes, it was the same code used to hold Britney Spears twice in Los Angeles in 2008.

Exhibit C: Her new series The Beautiful Life was canceled in September after only two episodes because the ratings didn’t pick up.

Exhibit D: To bring some sizzle back into her career, the 23-year-old booked a job with Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. In the upcoming March 3 episode, she’s going to play Gladys, a prostitute who’s out to make trouble for Detective Olivia Benson, Mariska Hargitay’s character. Will you save that on TiVo?

Somebody help Mischa! She needs a career move that actually works.

mischa_barton-5624
After only two episodes, Mischa Barton’s The Beautiful Life has been cancelled. The fashion drama series garnered only a little over a million viewers for its second – and last – episode. So much for a beautiful life on the small screen for Mischa.

Mischa Barton stayed at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in July, but she insists that it was because of a bad wisdom tooth surgery. No mental breakdown involved. That’s what she insists on.

Mischa As Troubled As Marissa?

Posted by Rachel as Celeb Meltdown, Mischa Barton at 8:13 PM UTC on Apr, 10 2008

In another sad example of real life imitating television, Mischa Barton, best known for her role as the tortured Marissa Cooper on The O.C., was sentenced to three years probation for drunk driving. Her sentence also included the order to join an alcohol education program. The 22-year-old actress agreed that driving drunk in L.A (weaving across lanes and failing to signal on a turn) was a very stupid move indeed.

Mischa Toying With Quitting

Posted by Rachel as Celebrities, Mischa Barton at 12:08 AM UTC on Dec, 13 2007

The 21-year-old actress has admitted that thoughts of quitting the Hollywood limelight have passed her mind more than once. Born in the UK and raised in the US, Miss Barton‘s self-described “roller coaster” career, which peaked with her role as Marissa in the OC is the probable reason for this change of heart.

Daily Dose of Zen: Mischa Barton Hospitalized

Posted by Allison as Celebrific Sighting Pictures, Daily Dose of Zen, Mischa Barton at 9:00 AM UTC on May, 29 2007

Reportedly, actress Mischa Barton was rushed to a hospital this weekend after suffering some adverse reactions to medication.

Barton was apparently enjoying a Memorial Day cookout with a few cocktails with friendsÂ whenÂ the star began to feel ill.Â Barton, whoÂ was taking antibiotics forÂ an earlier case of bronchitis,Â discovered theÂ hard way that you cannot combineÂ alcohol withÂ those kinds of meds.

According toÂ Mischa’s family, the starlet isÂ ”feeling much better” & is “resting comfortably.”

Looking forward to seeing Barton back on the streets in her infamous 80s wear.

Daily Dose of Zen: Mischa Barton Does the 80s Off Screen

Posted by Allison as Celebrific Sighting Pictures, Daily Dose of Zen, Mischa Barton at 11:00 AM UTC on Apr, 24 2007

Let me just go ahead & reveal that this image of Mischa Barton is not, I repeat- NOT, from a movie set.Â Which makes it all the more scarey, right?

Barton was spotted shopping in London on Monday wearing a pair of high-waisted trousers & anÂ antique Fleetwood Mac t-shirt.Â Clearly the poor girl’s wardrobe was robbed by vandals & all they left her was her old 80s stuff.Â

At least Mischa is shopping for new stuff, but hurry up, girl!Â Tiffany called & she wants her look back!

Mischa Barton Parties a Little Too Hard & Spills Her Fashionable Cookies

Posted by Allison as Celebrific Sighting Pictures, Kirsten Dunst, Mischa Barton, Mischief & Mayhem at 8:30 AM UTC on Mar, 14 2007

While out Thursday night with pals Jamie-Lynn Sigler & Kirsten Dunst, Mischa Barton partied a little too hard.

The trio were slamming back drinks at New York City hotspot The Anchor when Barton apparently pulled back a drink & then pushed back some vomit on the patio.

Now, most celebs would just go ahead & call that a night, but not good old Mischa.Â Barton marched back into the club, head held high, and started the party all over again.Â My, what a trooper.

So, is Mischa trying to hail a cab here or signaling her own kind on Mars to come back & pick her ass up?Â You tell me.

Mischa Barton Gets in Wreck with Nicole Richie’s Mercedes SUV

Posted by Allison as Celebrific Sighting Pictures, Mischa Barton, Mischief & Mayhem, Nicole Richie at 7:20 AM UTC on Feb, 20 2007

Sunday afternoon was clearly a trying time for former “O.C.” star Mischa Barton. Barton had just dropped off pal Nicole Richie at a Los Angeles tanning salon when the cellulite princess got into a wreck in Richie’s Mercedes SUV. Wonder how Richie took the news…

21-year-old Mischa was clearly shaken after the incident & pulled into a gas station where the couple she literally bumped into exchanged insurance information.Â

Mischa took some time to fill up Nicole’s tank, probably to soften the blow when none other than fashion mag worker Carlos Lopez saw the distressed Barton & came to lend a hand.Â Now isn’t that just too friendly of that Lopez.Â But I still am left wondering whether Nicole Richie still calls Mischa Barton her BFF after this little fender bender.

Thanks to Us Weekly for the scoop & the image.

Mischa Barton & Cisco Adler Split

Posted by Allison as Breakups & Goodbyes, Mischa Barton at 9:12 AM UTC on Feb, 09 2007

Mischa BartonÂ & Cisco Adler have decided to call it quits.Â After being in a serious relationship for more than a year, the couple has decided to throw in the towel, probably because Adler was sick of seeing all that Barton cellulite!

Barton’s rep confirmed the breakup, stating, “Mischa and Cisco have decided to part ways.”

â€œMischa is moving east soon and they both have very demanding schedules.”

Earlier this week there were reports that Barton & rocker Adler had gone their separate ways, but a rep for Cisco stated, “They are fine â€“ very happy together.”

Interesting, doesn’t look like they’re all that happy together if they are breaking up there, rep.Â What are you going to do with these reps?Â They’re always flying by the seat of their pants.

Mischa & Cisco have dated since August 2005, just two months after Barton ended her serious relationship with Brandon “Greasy Bear” Davis & shortly after Adler broke it off with fiance Kimberly Stewart, Rod’s baby daughter.

Well, here’s hoping the two find love elsewhere.

You tell me- Are you happy that Mischa Barton & Cisco Adler are calling it quits?
