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."

31. Of course, the Olsen twins are fraternal, not identical. Ashley is way better-looking for one thing (or maybe she just got the better nose job).

33. Hey #23, fraternal and identical do NOT mean the same thing. Maybe YOU should get the education. Lol

34. Mary-kate and ashley are not identical for those who are debating that issue. One is shorter then the other, one is right handed and the other is left handed. Identitical means the are identitical in everyway.

35. why do theyy need to go to school? they are already rich whats the point not like they need to worry about having a good job. yeah sure its good to have a good education but these girls just don`t care about having a good education or not. They would rather go partying. Yes i would like a good education but i would still want to party with my friends. To be honest id rather have an education.

36. online classes CAN be considered education... at least they are learning something rather than getting wasted and staying up all night! i mean its better than no classes at all

37. to whoever thinks people dont need no education is so wrong because everybody needs some education! i mean cmon people... at least them all are trying! and us men need some recognizing too ya know... aint we just as important?

38. right, none of the actresses listed in the article are my favorites. I agree with Kat (comment # 6) in that my favorite actresses are those who are well educated and knowledgeable, classy ladies. Why didn't Julia Stiles get added to this list?

Good column, but I think the subjects could have been more properly selected.

39. sorry #14 but you are wrong...an online education is JUST as valid as any other...all you have to do is ask all of the doctoral students that i take classes with, as we sit home every night reading research. next time, do YOUR research!

40. yeah uh kristen is not famous?

41. I don't like that celebrities can get out of an education which is required for all just because they are in a couple of movies of tv shows!!!
ITS STUPID

b*tch

42. i like pizza with alot of cheese

43. I think the point delivered is that yes, these girls are rich...
But SOME of them have no thirst for knowledge.
& No desire to expand their intellect.
Partying is great ..Personally I party often.
But I'm in school.
& Not because it's whats required of me,
but because I want to learn and grow.
I think some of these girls could use some College.
Maybe they'd stop acting like brats & more their age.

45. these girls are young, rich and want to party. they don't care about an education and talking properly and counting in their heads. they go to nightclubs to kill brain cells, not read to build on their brain cells. they are just another waste of celebrity breed. in pathetic movies for teenie boppers (sorry for you teenagers)....i am surprised Paris Hilton wasn't on this list. with all the money and time she has. she could at least take a course or two and learn something! something money can't buy is knowledge and class.. and we see it everyday with these "stupid girls" as Pink would say!
