And finally, your moment of celebrity obviety today comes courtesy of beleaguered everywoman Mischa Barton. High off the success of The Beautiful Life, Barton has confided to tabloids, “I’m ridiculously clumsy, you’d never want to date me. I’m an embarrassment. I wouldn’t even know where to start with telling you things that I’ve walked into.” Er, okay! Misch, I know that all sarcasm aside, TBS was kind of like a cold sore to your CV, a glaring mark of shame. But really that’s no reason to put yourself down! Good gravy, woman.
But her unsteady footing, Barton says, is what makes her prime paparazzi bait. “I think that’s why the paps love me, they know I will end up on my ass looking silly. I’m constantly bruising myself and grazing knees. A total klutz.” This then makes us wonder if Barton is celibate, as she also has yet to be dumped by a boyfriend.
Although ultimately, the sum of these obviously contradicting gossip chunklets makes more unfair her appeal as a sex symbol, what with these gorgeous shots of Barton doing things with sunglasses, looking over a banister, and getting out of a car.
