MISCHA BARTON PULLS OUT OF NEW YEAR'S PARTY
As we've all learned from the adventures of Lindsay Lohan, getting in trouble with drugs and alcohol can severely hamper a celebrity's career. Just ask Mischa Barton.
Earlier this week, the OC hottie was spotted smoking a joint, and later was arrested for DUI in Los Angeles, California. And now she's feeling the aftershock of her bad behavior.
Barton was scheduled to host a grand opening party for Cathouse in Las Vegas later on tonight. But due to her recent indiscretions, she's been pulled from the gig.
An inside source told press, "Mischa can't give interviews on the red carpet or deal with the press right now, so they told her she can't do the event." Situations like this also cause special events coordinators to think twice before booking "bad girls" for publicity appearances.
At press time, Cathouse was desperately searching for a new celebrity to take over the hosting duties, with no success.
