My all-time fave celeb ever finally got a job. She’s back on the CW, bitches!
Despite rumors that she was going to be on Melrose Place, she has accepted a role on the Ashton Kutcher production, A Beautiful Life. Really, how can you not cast Mischa in any program that has any form of the word “beauty” right in the title?
Mischa was happy to finally have a role, any role, to talk about: “Ashton developed it about his life growing up as a model from Iowa, so it’s about the whole fashion world that he was in, and obviously I have a lot of friends in the fashion world, so I’m used to being around a lot of people in that. [I play] a bitchy model-type character, like it’s a totally different character for me.” Yes, because Mischa is totally connected. Lots of friends in the fashion world. In real life, so. Not. A. Bitch.
A show about the fashion world; no wonder she’s been getting so skinny! Of course, she was quick to dispel any eating disorder rumors, yet again:
“Like right now I’m supposedly too skinny. I just had to release a comment about how I’m eating enough and I’m healthy,” says Barton, who nibbled on a sweet onion tart with mushroom and a burger during the event. “I’m more concerned for young girls these days … and I think it’s important that you say I’m comfortable and I’m fine and you should to be too because it’s, like, silly … You’re always too skinny or too fat or too something.”
Mischa, you are always too something. Too irrelevant. Too annoying. Too present.
I really am not sure what’s wrong with me. Sure, I have celebs that annoy me or just generally stun me with their level of unearned fame, but this is different. Celebuhate is akin to having a phobia. There is no rational basis for it whatsoever. But if you suffer the affliction, exposure can cause such a reaction. I have a near-Pavlovian response to the mere mention of Mischa’s name. I’m talking about a quickened pulse and sweating glistening. There is not a thing in the world Mischa Barton could ever say that I would not find fault with. Like, she could say, “I’m quitting acting so I can focus all my efforts on breastfeeding starving babies,” and I would immediately respond with, “Isn’t breast milk that is laced with drugs harmful to babies?” At this point, I can’t control myself.
Maybe I need some sort of immersion therapy. That’s it, I’m off to watch the first three seasons of The O.C.
I like the part about the Pavlovian response! Very witty..nice job ;-)
jennB – your teeth are amazing! so nice; even, straight and gleaming white. I’m envious.
Don’t do the immersion therapy…I don’t think I can handle a week of you in a catatonic state afterward!
Noooooo! You might do some sort of permanent damage!
Wendie, as much as i laugh at everything you guys write, this has to be my favorite post of all time, hahaha. You totally explained it in the same way I feel about Jessica Simpson, and that was amazing.
“Celebuhate is akin to having a phobia. There is no rational basis for it whatsoever.” = genius!
You gotta admit though, she’s got some shiiinyyyy hair!
