Celebs With No Class

Lindsay Lohan / Mischa BartonThis is the time of year when many college-bound guys and girls enjoy their last summer of freedom before heading off to the halls of higher education.  While a BA is by no means a Hollywood prerequisite, lately there seem to be a large number of college-aged stars who are choosing nightclubs over bookclubs. 

From Lindsay Lohan to Kristin Cavallari, check out which stars are studying hard and which are partying hard.

Linday Lohan
Lindsay Lohan


Lindsay may not be taking any academic classes, but the just turned 20-year-old is no stranger to pulling an all-nighter.  From LA to NY and back, keeping up with Lindsay's nightlife escapades can be harder than getting into an Ivy league school. While teen movies like "Freaky Friday" and "Mean Girls" put her on the Hollywood map, Lindsay seems to have graduated to more adult fair with "A Prairie  Home Companion" and upcoming roles in "Chapter 27" and "Bobby."

Hilary and haley DuffHilary and Haylie Duff

Hilary, 18, and her older sister Haylie, 21, seem to do everything together.  They've recorded songs together, will co-star in the upcoming film "Material Girls" and enrolled in online courses at Harvard together. With past credits like "Raise Your Voice" and "The Perfect Man," here's hoping their new studies will lead to more intelligent roles.

Kristin CavalarriKristin Cavallari

Famous for being a real-life mean girl on MTV's "Laguna Beach", Kristin graduated from high school and set her sights on Hollywood. After hosting the short-lived UPN reality series "Get the Party Started," the 19-year-old's quest for fame led to a role in the upcoming horror movie "Fingerprints" and a gig modeling for Bongo jeans. While Kristin may not be enrolled in school, from the looks of her late night antics the underage starlet could teach everyone a thing or two about getting in to the hottest LA clubs.

Mischa BartonMischa Barton

Mischa Barton's character on "The OC" was killed off before she could attend college. In real life Barton's reason for not getting an edumacation is a little less brutal - she just wants to make movies. While the British born actress has aspirations of attending Yale Drama School, with two films in the can and two more set to start production soon, it doesn't look like Barton will be cramming for mid-terms anytime soon.

Mary-Kate and Ashley OlsenThe Olsen Twins

Mary Kate and Ashley aren't just your typical everyday, run of the mill, beautiful, fraternal twin billionaire babes - the Olsen twins also have brains.  The former child stars put their Hollywood careers on hold and enrolled at NYU in 2004.  Although Mary-Kate dropped out in 2005, Ashley is continuing on with her education. Regardless, as founders of their Dualstar Entertainment Group, it doesn't look like either of them will ever have to worry about having a job.

Keira KnightleyKeira Knightley

Keira Knightley was a happy co-ed at England's Esher College when her career started to take off.  Faster than you can "Bend It Like Beckham", Knightley traded her books for scripts and quickly  became one of the most sought after young actresses in the biz.  While other kids are partying on spring break, you'll be able to find Keira basking under the Hollywood rays with the "Pirates of the Caribbean."

19. why doesn't anyone mention that none of the male stars go to college either? this is more than a little unbalanced in it's focus on what female stars do and don't do.

20. You have to want to be at school. Why would anyone want to bust their buns to get a degree they can't see themselves using? If you are smart, you are smart. Going to college for no purposeful reason other then just going will not make you any smarter.

21. Quick Question.Lindsay Lohan,with all this partying from coast to coast,doesnt any bartender ask for i.d?

22. It's a known fact that celebs that go back to school end up with less drug or drinking problems. Drew Barrymore was into the party scene because she grew up in the spot light. She went back to school and straightened herself out. She is not the only one to do this. All stars who have any brains, finish school and learn more. This helps them to function better, become smarter, and make better decisions in life. Online classes are not school. Any star who cares about a proper education should focus on that and hen start up acting again. If they have talent they can start up acting again, but their years of learning are limited as they get older.

23. i think education is important but these are once in a lifetime chances and you can always go back to school.I'll admitt i did hate kristen but she is famous!

24. TMZ Staff, refering to the secment on Mischa, what's an 'edumacation' as it relates to your article? My understanding is that 'edumacation' is a slang term that relates to self education which would be appropriate for anyone 'learning on the job'.

25. Most think you go to college to get a job high paying job. These girls don't need college lol They have money. I have no idea about Kristen, Who is she?

I mean I'm in college cause i know it will pay off when these jobs that are tooo good to be true run out.

To bad most of us go to college to make money and most of us can't even make half of what they making.

26. in response to jimmy-
being on one failing show on upn isn't anywhere close to paying her dues. the movie will fail and she'll just fade away. she has NO talent whatsoever. she came from a lame reality show while all the other girls in this article actually worked their way up to be where they are today. they've all made at least a couple successful movies or tv shows whereas kristen has done NOTHING except screw a couple guys on her show and that guy she's dating.
i wish people would stop writing stuff about this ugly whore (who looks like a man, might i add) so she could fade away faster.

27. it's sad that these uneducated kids/stars are on tv and in magazines and "writing books," and they are the ones that are influencing society's views somewhat. what a scary thought. School is cool!

28. Kristen C Sucks! f*** her! the b**** should go to school cause she isnt going anywhere her 15 mins are almost up!

29. Kirsten hasnt done anything at all to stay in the spot light, your right, she NEEDS to go away!!! She had her 15 minutes of fame, why wont she just sink into the one hit wonder abyss like a nice little girl? She has absolutely no talent. She cant act, she cant even fake having a personality. Shes just a spoiled little rich slut. Nobody cares. Yeh Im sure she will make it to the top someday. That is, if her crotch doesnt fall off on the way there. She is so pathetic. Some people just dont get it. When its over, its over. Move on.
She need to goto college. She has nothing else to look forward to

Posted at 3:17PM on Jul 6th 2006 by Kristen C Sucks

30. Those of you who dont know...Ashley Olsen is still studying in NYU..she's not taking Online Classes.. I'm so proud of her!!!
