Mischa Barton Busted for DUI

TMZ has confirmed that Mischa Barton has been arrested on suspicion of DUI, possession of marijuana and a controlled substance and driving without a valid license.

According to a press release issued by the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, the former "O.C." star was pulled over early this morning around 2:45 AM as she was driving in West Hollywood, Calif. Cops say she "was seen straddling two lanes of traffic and failed to signal when making a turn." When deputies pulled her over, they determined that she "was an unlicensed driver and was driving while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage."

Whatcha smokin?Barton is still in custody, being held on $10,000 bail. The L.A. County Sheriffs' Inmate Information website called her "Mischa Burton." Sources tell us that Mischa has been "very cooperative" and "no trouble at all." She's a good bad girl!

The arrest was first reported by Hollyscoop.com.

63. I guess she has four movies waiting release so this is an excellent publicity move on her part.

65. She has a film out in UK at the moment directed by Richard Attenborough called Closing The Ring and he has nothing but good things to say about her so I guess this film must be due out in US shortly. It appears any publicity is good publicity

66. I wanna know what are they taking to get so skinny. Heard it was mexican diet pills which also gives the craving for narcotics. I bet Tara Reid is next, she is awfully skinny.

67. She doesn't look too bad, could be worse. The joint pic is worse than her mugshot.

68. Great; another airheaded hollywood "starlet" dumbass. What's next? A sex tape? She couldn't keep her legs closed & she's knocked up? I swear these hollywood dumbasses are like lemmings; they have to follow a trend done by others they hang out with. Maybe they'll come up with something constructive, and the hollywood airheaded dumbasses will finally do something positive for society & not be social service leeches like this dumbass...

69. See that picture taken of her? That's what's called the "Meth 1000 yard stare", with the sunken blackened eyes. Little mischa has got a serious drug problem. If she doesn't get it together, she'll soon be looking so nasty that she'll lose any career she has, and will have to give bj's for rent money...

70. Wasn't she rushed to the hospital not too long ago and people thought she had overdosed on something? Then she came out with some B.S. "exhaustion" excuse? This isn't a shock at all...her career sucks and no one is paying attention to her plain jane looks. She neeeds to stop feeling sorry for herself and get a life.

71. TAHT SAYS MISCHA BURTON, NOT BARTON.

72. So Kellii you are saying that no one in the south has ever gotten a DUI? Don't say stupid things please. Makes people from the south look stupid when you make generalizations like that and we know thats not true.

73. I mean this in the most genuine and sincere way...Is being dumb and having an "addictive" personality on the Hollywood job application? This girl is a serious smoker which is our first clue that she's missing a few brain cells and this is also why she is so skinny (...just grab an apple instead of a cig sweetie!) She's also a huge partier...so her few brain cells are dwindling by the second (...ever heard of everything in moderation). It must be horrible for her to dislike herself so much that she would treat her body that way. When I die, I hope I will be remembered as a person who respected herself and others. Drugs, drinking and driving - gross! It is a total lack of disregard for the lives of others. Micha, get out of yourself! Find peace within girl!
