There's been a spate of celebrity pregnancy rumours lately. One celeb who's not working on getting knocked up is Mischa Barton. She seems to be busy working on her next mugshot. Now it's no secret that Michsa likes the sauce. That first came to light several years back and shortly after she was canned from the OC. She'd been attending Nicole Ritchie's Labor Day party, and had to be carted out on a stretcher and taken to the emergency ward. Her publicist explained that it was a reaction to mixing booze with some anti biotics, and that she had been successfully treated by means of a stomach pump. The grapevine said that she'd actually been mixing booze and pills.
That suspicion seemed to be confirmed later when she got herself busted for pot possession and driving under the influence. Her mugshot was major news in the ent gossip community. Mischa made a public statement assuring everyone that she wasn't like those others girls - ie Lindsay Lohan, and that the comparisons made her want to die of shame. It didn't make her want to stop drinking. In fact she made the papers again, when one of her boyfriends wandered off on her during a night out. Mischa had been over doing it, and the guy had had enough. So while Mischa was looking for a convenient place to vomit, boyfriend lit out and never returned. Mischa was a bit disconcerted for about 5 mins, and then stumbled over to a near by couch to sleep it off. It was 2 AM before she regained consciousness.
Well this past Fashion Week has seen Mischa up to it again. Some pics made the rounds; one of a bleary eyed Mischa attempting to hold herself upright while her right nipple popped out. Another, posted on Perez Hilton, showed Mischa sitting around in a mini dress and apparently unaware that she was flashing the goods. So the obvious conclusion is that Mischa is hitting the bottle again, and has become sloppy in public.
The plot thickens. Not only has Mischa had some wardrobe malfunctions, she's engaged in some uncharacteristic public behaviour. The most notable was her kissing session with another young woman. That incident occurred at her 23rd birthday party. Now the blogs had a field day with that by implying that Barton had gone Lohan. Barton will have none of it though. In a statement to OK Magazine Barton has said that the girl on girl kiss was "strictly Platonic" - I didn't think people still used that line, and that the blogs were making too much of it. Says Mischa "I just want to take a moment to clear the air and say that we were joking around. That kiss was taken totally out of context." Well it's a good thing that she set us straight on that, because she was in danger of becoming interesting there for a second or two! Meanwhile I'll keep waiting for Mugshot No 2 to emerge - she's way overdue.
BTW the current rumours about Angelina Jolie wearing her dress backwards are that she was too stoned to figure out which side of the designer dress was actually the front. She gave a flaky explanation about deliberately wearing it that way, perhaps as some sort of statement on world poverty and the less fortunates who can't afford designers duds - but it wasn't very convincing. She'd made an ass of herself and the tabs were quick to pounce. I guess that Angie can forget about that Oscar now, not that she was ever really in the running.
Incidentally Heather Mills has just been named moodiest star. Now that can be right. For one thing she's not a star. For another she only has one mood - belligerent.
There could be other explanations for Mischa and Angelina's odd behaviour besides over indulgence. Perhaps the ladies were feeling the exuberance of this hopeful new era. Can you blame them? We have an intelligent, level headed new leader; and Hitler has gone back to the ranch. Not a moment to soon either, since with the terrorism hysteria, the Patriot Act, and Homeland Security - who knows where it might've lead. Perhaps, to something like this!
