Latest Gossip on Mischa Barton Turns Ugly | Ausiello Report | 3/3/2008
Mischa Barton's about to find out that there is such a thing as bad publicity. Shortly after I posted my story on Friday about Gossip Girl courting Barton for a juicy arc, her reps began issuing blanket denials to various media outlets, insisting that, although their client was indeed approached by the show, she turned the gig down. There's just one problem: She didn't. Turn them down, that is. At least not formally.Reliable sources close to the CW phenom tell me that the recent statements made... read more

Their ears didn't deceive them: Those whispers that Gawker.com overheard about Mischa Barton being approached for a part on Gossip Girl, I can now report, are 100 percent true.

Mischa Barton: Welcome to the O.R., Bit... Er, Miss | Today's News: Our Take | 5/29/2007
Somebody really ought to tell Mischa Barton that she isn't playing Marissa Cooper anymore: TMZ.com reports that the O.C. alum was rushed to an L.A. hospital after mixing booze with antibiotics. Apparently, the wafer-thin ingenue came down with bronchitis while jet-setting around Europe recently, hence the medication.

October 17, 2006: Bedfellows | Law & Order: Criminal Intent | 10/18/2006
Somebody at NBC must have issued an order to punch up Criminal Intent’s openings, because two weeks in a row, they’ve come out swinging. Last week’s cops-and-fireman brawl was definitely a "what the?" moment, and this week’s was equally shocking – and twice as disturbing. For me, that wide-eyed little kid with spaghetti sauce (?) smeared all over his mouth evoked not one but two Sixth Sense characters – precocious-yet-creepy Haley Joel Osment (who these days... read more
