Mischa Barton has ditched partying for dog walking.
The former 'O.C.' star - who is famed for partying with Nicole Richie -
insists she prefers to stay out of the limelight and entertain friends at
home.
Mischa told Weekend magazine: "I know I look the part, and people used to
come up to me in the street and talk to me as if I was a crazy party girl.
But I don't go out clubbing because that whole thing is too claustrophobic.
As for shopping, I'd rather walk my dogs, Ziggy Stardust and Charlie Barton.
"I cook a mean lasagne, and some people say my potatoes au gratin are pretty
on fire."

The 21-year-old admits her simple lifestyle disappoints many of her fans,
but she insists she is nothing like other young female stars who are
renowned for their partying.
She said: "I guess some people are disappointed. I'm always being associated
with other girls, but we're not in the same crowd. I have only met Paris
Hilton once and that was in passing. I am friendly with Nicole Richie, but
people see us at parties and assume we all know each other.
"I actually spend my evenings curled up with a good book. Dostoevsky and
John Steinbeck are my favorites."

She left out the fact that she also likes getting “tea-bagged” by Cisco Adler’s saggy uneven balls.
Ha ha Earl Hickey! That is hilarious! She’s just gross. Her body is terrible and she gives me the heebeejeebees.
trying to sound so intelligent and cultured….why is she trying so hard?
hey thats not mischa in the frst pic. That is somone halfway atractive!
Know what else is on fire, Mischa? That joint in your pie-hole while you’re driving. You know, the one that could’ve caused you to kill an innocent person on the road? The one you won’t get in any trouble for despite the fact the pictures were all over the internet? Fuck you, you dumb whore. Just another Paris, nothin’ special.
Whoooo carrres. Bitch is uuugly.
LOL @ Earl Hickey, soo funny but sadly soo true lol
Why is she being photographed? Does she have another job yet?
well, as much as I don’t really care for this chick or her horrific acting, I will say this - if she really does prefer to entertain friends at home with some wine and good food and turns down snorting the good powder with Blohan at Hyde in favour of a good book, then she gets a lot of respect from me. She may be “blah” in every respect, but at least she’s not a party-ho like Parasite and the others.
I totally agree w/ Earl and Kasume
bitch, please, nobody likes steinbeck—now we know you’re lying!
Amen to that Kasume! We need atleast one semi-respectable young female star. Even though she isn’t scoring high on the good looking or talent scales, it’s a start.
