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."

46. I hate Kristen. Shes so ugly. That should have been LC instead. Compare the two, LC goes to scholl and works. and Kristen acts like a bitch LC seems so much nicer and well brought up than Kristen. I dont know what people see in Kristen rather than a bitchy attitude, a retard, and no good looks.

47. So, i'm just curious... why do we care? what these people do with their lives is up to them. Believe it or not, they are normal people, thier jobs just happen to get a lot more public notice than other people's. In My opinion, everyone should make a living by doing what they love to do, and i assume that is what they are doing. I think we should stop caring so much about their lives and focus on more important things, like how our earth is falling apart because of global warming and how countless animals are put through abuse everyday just to become food or clothing for us, or as a result of our insane pollution rates? If we all focused on those types of things rather than who's making more movies and who's going to school, our world wouldn't be such a crappy place.

Afetr all, they are always under the public eye, hardly ever getting any privacy. Any little screw up they make is spread to the world, they shouldn't be ridiculed for whether or not they choose to have an education. Their only human. Would you look donw upon yourself if you found something you loved to do and did that instead of going to college? Hmm dont think so.

49. Eh, I wouldn't necessarily say Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen have brains.. fame and billions of dollars will get you into any school. It's kind of a shame to think of how many people work so hard to get into top schools, only to have well deserved spots taken by those who pay their way in.

50. well personnally all of these girls except for the beautiful Keira Knightley dont deserve to be famous. lindsey lohan definatly doesnt deserve to be bc all she did was pose nude on a mag. cover. and then hilary is just exsisting. i mean i can act way better then her fake crying and pouting about. then Kristin all she was on was a stupid drama "reality" as everyone calls it. which it wasnt bc everything called reality on TV is not. god if anyone that deserves to be famous here is Keira Knightley which no one obviously understands.

52. yeah, you all have some god comments, but half of you seem to need an education yourselves. You can't even spell correctly or choose the correct words to go in a sentence. Take a lesson in context clues. Anyways, these broads are dumb as hell and will always be. They are good for crappy acting, drama, and last minute additions to any middle-aged man's "spank bank".

53. its these ladies' choice not to pursue anything...they've gotta remember, fame doesnt last forever...&& i agree with Wicked1, Kristin Cavallari isn't a celebrity! she's a reality TV star...she played herself, an annoying self-centered rich brat...no challenge there! dont give her credit she doesn't deserve.

54. OH PLZ! I'm pretty sure everyone has a right to bash on Kristin C. She did not pay her dues at all. Shes just another untalented reality T.V. "star". She just got some attention for acting dumb and bitchy. Thats not talent and she doesnt deserve to be listen with actresses such Keira or the Olsen twins.

55. Kristin Cavilleri. Is ridiculous.

Dont we all wish that we could have attended highschool and party on camera. and get famous for it. Shes cheap and she was always a whore on the show.


So yea basically, she blows.

56. kristin cavallari is not a celebrity.
serioulsy, ... are the people on the other MTV shows celebrities,no, yeah people know their names, but their not famous.
i don't see what the big deal is with her. Shes just a mean girl who sleeps with everybody.

57. Kristan C will eventually end up being a huge sucess in hollywood but she just needs to place her footing...yes i understand that half the time in the mags she looks like a slut but shes not..before you go bashing on her give her a while to prove herself to you all and you might acually be suprised at what happens...

Posted at 10:58AM on Jul 7th 2006 by Amy

58. hey....i think these girls have good choices in life some could be better but they are young and still figuring out what to do in their lives...but i dont know about kristen cavallari ...no one knows much about her i mean you could consider her as a celeb but really she has no past acting career or anything like that....well she'll figure it out...and so will the rest of those young hollywood beauties!!...xoxox

59. The only good actress up there is Kiera Knightly, seems like she's the only one with class too. Linsay Lohan is TRASH, 1/2 the same for Hilary Duff. And Kristen C., when did she become famous? ew

60. you people need to get a fucking life, who cares if they are going to college or not, they are still making more money than any of you ever will.
