I’ve been re-watching episodes of The O.C. for a while now and recently finished what I refer to as the “Oliver” episodes in season 1, episodes 13-18.
I’m referring to Oliver Trask (Taylor Handley), the seemingly nice guy Marissa (Mischa Barton) meets outside her therapist’s door.
Of course, it doesn’t take the audience long to figure out that Oliver wants Marissa all to himself, that he “made up” his girlfriend Natalie, and plans to get rid of Ryan (Benjamin McKenzie) any which way he can.
Oh, sometimes I want to throw a brick at the TV when I watch these episodes! It kills …read more

The O.C.’s Julie Cooper (Melinda Clarke) is coming to The Vampire Diaries!
Clarke played Marissa Cooper’s (Mischa Barton) mom on The OC.
Sources tell Entertainment Weekly that Clarke will be playing Kelly Donovan on The Vampire Diaries, “Matt’s (Zach Roerig) irresponsible, hard-drinking absentee mother.”
In fact this woman is so horrible, she didn’t even show up for her daughter Vicki (Kayla Ewell) funeral.
Clarke, who also guest starred on CSI, will arrive in Mystic Falls in March and will be in at least three episodes. I watch The Vampire Diaries, so I’m looking forward to The OC connection.
I’m wondering if she will be a …read more

Mischa Barton was spotted shopping at 11 p.m. Monday on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, California.
Mischa was seen wearing a glittery gold long-sleeve top, black jeans and black boots.
And yes, she wasn’t wearing makeup. Is that a crime? Every where I’ve seen these photos they are making fun of Mischa. Maybe she was hoping not to be recognized and to be treated like a normal human being? What’s wrong with that? It’s not like she’s on the red carpet without makeup. Instead, people are insulting Mischa about her makeup and weight. Big surprise.

Good news! Mischa Barton will guest star in a future episode of Law & Order: SVU, according to TV Guide.
Mischa will play a hooker named Gladys in an episode set to air March 3. Her character is hiding a secret that will be complicating for Mariska Hargitay’s Benson, TV Guide said.
The interesting part is SVU executive producer Neal Baer has been twittering clues about Mischa’s casting. His clues were Bongo, Singer and Austin.
TV Guide reporter William Keck was thinking the guest star was Matthew McConaughey, but Bauer called the writer to exclusively reveal Mischa’s casting.
Bauer said Mischa’ has played …read more

Mischa Barton was listed as No. 4 out of 20 hot young TV hotties in YouTube user Xtrawbery’s list of favorites.
What I thought was unique was the other girls he chose — most of the girls are a lot younger than Mischa, or at the prime of their TV stardom — including Nina Dobrev from The Vampire Diaries, Blake Lively and Leighton Meester from Gossip Girl and 90210 girls Jessica Lowndes, Shenae Grimes and AnnaLynne McCord.
The user also picked The OC’s Rachel Bilson among others.
I like that he used fashion shots of Mischa, but some from her more recent movies, …read more

I thought I would a roundup of some of the latest news about Mischa Barton.
Mischa was spotted out at the PAPER Magazine 5th Annual Nightlife Awards held Dec. 9 at the M2 Ultra Lounge in New York. Click here to see Mischa in the photos. Mischa, wearing a black dress and black jacket, even posed with fans.
Besides her recent interview with Heat magazine, Mischa also has a new interview in the UK version of the OK! magazine but I haven’t seen it yet.
But it appears due to several news reports, that Mischa talked about her lesbian love scenes she’s …read more

Since the cancellation of Mischa Barton’s TV show The Beautiful Life, Mischa hasn’t talked very much to the media.
But now many questions fans have are answered in this cover story Mischa just did for the Dec. 5-11, 2009 issue of UK magazine Heat.

On the magazine cover, Mischa is featured with the words “Mischa Barton: To hell and back: Her shocking true story.” The magazine also has two photos, the large one is a recent photo that shows Mischa looking beautiful and healthy. A smaller photo shows Mischa in one of her “thin” photos from her time spent in Paris …read more

Here’s a scene from the 2002 Disney TV movie A Ring of Endless Light starring Mischa Barton.
It’s interesting to see Mischa in a role not too long before she became Marissa Cooper on The OC. The movie is based on the young adult novel by Madeleine L’Engle. L’Engle wrote more than 60 books, including Wrinkle in Time.
The book (and movie) tells of a girl named Vicky and her struggle to understand life and significance in the universe as she deals with her dying grandfather, while at the same time finding love. A Ring of Endless Light originally aired on …read more

Here’s a well-done OC fan video from YouTube user Lovetheoc555 featuring Avril Lavigne’s song “I’ll Always Miss You.” The video featuring Mischa Barton portraying Marissa and Benjamin McKenzie (now on Southland) from The OC as their relationship begins to fail.
The title of the video is “The day you…. slipped away.” What I like especially about this video is how well the audio of the Marissa and Ryan is done over the music. I’ve never seen it done so well on a YouTube video.
Also, check out this Mischa Barton fan video from YouTube user Jenn Prodz who uses the song …read more

Before there was Christmakuh, there was Thanksgiving on the first season of The OC at The Cohen house.

Currently, The WB.com has 16 episodes of the fourth season available to watch (but without Mischa Barton obviously), and the first season “Homecoming” episode taking place at Thanksgiving. Follow this link to watch the episode.
This is Ryan Atwood’s (Benjamin McKenzie) first Thanksgiving with the Cohen family. But a phone call from Ryan’s brother Trey throws a wrench into their holiday plans. Marissa (Mischa Barton) ends up taking the trip to Chino, Ryan’s hometown to visit him in jail. The only problem is Trey …read more
