Mischa Barton was pulled over last night for driving all over the road, and now she’s sitting in jail for drunk driving, possession of narcotics, and driving with a suspended license.
This can’t be all that surprising given the pesky pot-smoking rumors that routinely pop up about the 21-year-old starlet, but the late great Marissa Cooper told Elle UK last summer that she’s not like the other bad girls of Beverly Hills:
In the article, Mischa talks about her rise to fame and what it means to be grouped with the likes of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, saying, “It is a persona. It’s not me. I think, ‘Who the hell is that girl?’ I’m so low-key and chilled. But the media has created a fake ‘Young Hollywood’ where everyone hangs out together and everybody knows each other. It couldn’t be further from the truth. I feel so, so different from those girls.”
“Chilled” sounds close to the truth, actually. But the tabloid readership of America faces a looming problem: It seems that all of Young Hollywood is going to be behind bars within a few months. B-list celebrities are already rising to the challenge. My 2008 predictions for the drunk tank: Tara Reid, Hayden Panettiere, Hilary Duff.






I would think that with all the money these celebs make, they could hire people to drive their inebriated butts home.
