Mischa's Got Class

Maybe getting written out of "The O.C." was a hint?

Mischa Barton's character on the FOX series was killed off in the season finale and she's using her newfound time off to brush up on those acting chops.

Taking a break from the LA and NY club scene, the underage thespian has enrolled in acting classes at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.

With four feature films coming out, it looks like Barton realized not all her roles would be as easy - and as true to life - as playing a spoiled California teen.

16. Dear Pearl,

I'm glad to see that you're so bitter over something that I said. It just means that I struck a nerve. And, I thought I'd remind you that Barton isn't an American. She is actually from England. That would make her British. If you were aware of any of Barton's previous appearances in film and television, you would see that she has always been ultra-slim. I'm an advocate of people leading healthy, beneficial lifestyles, but I find it disconcerting when people attack others for merely being famous. And, don't bring up wealth. You cannot begin to comprehend the life I lead so do not make assumptions about my income, little one.

19. Pearl,

I'm multiracial and I've never had a fake tan in my entire life.
Yet, I still watch the O.C.

21. I couldn't agree more milia, Grey's Anatomy sucks, and I'd watch the OC over it any day of the week. I love The OC, and it's gonna be so hard to watch the show without her, considering I'm a big Ryan&Marissa fan. I will like, however, that the show will be more centered around Ryan, because he his so hot! It will be a great loss that the second character introduced (besides Ryan) in the pilot will be gone, considering that she was one of the beloved "Core 4". I'm not looking forward to Kaitlin and the whole "pot and Luke's brothers" storylines. I hope Taylor and Ryan don't hook up, don't get me wrong she's a great character and is hilarious, but I'm afraid she's too humorous/stuck up for Ryan, he pretty much laughs off anything she says because she can't be taken too seriously, she's mostly just there to make laughs. One key scene with her in mind is in Season 3 when she's involved with Dean Hess and she's texting him on her side-kick. Summer is watching her as Seth comes to sit down with her and see what Summer is up to. Summer then says "Look at her Cohen. Looking all 'texty'". Seth says another line something about having Dean Hess in her pocket. Summer then replies "She's got the Dean in her front pocket, back pocket and who knows where else?!" Funny and memorable scene. Not to mention her earth-shattering screech when she realizes the money for the Prom's after party is missing.

For all those well-educated :
Ihr seid echt dumm, manchmal hab ich das Gefühl jemand hat den Leuten ins Hirn geschissen und die denken dann, sie hätten die Idee ihres Lebens - unnötige posts verteilen ...
