Mischa to Nicole: 82 Minutes in Jail?

TMZ was in court today as Mischa Barton's DUI case was continued until April 10.

Powerhouse defense attorney Anthony Salerno appeared on the celebuwreck's behalf, telling us he believes the case will be resolved "favorably" -- meaning Mischa will probably get off with the standard sentence for a first time DUI offender. He also says he believes the marijuana charge will be dismissed.

Also, the driving without a license charge will most likely be dropped to an infraction, Salerno says. We're told the naturalized U.S. citizen is working on getting her California license now. 'Bout time!

6. Amazing, I'm still trying to figure out why Kiefer Sutherland spent a month? Or however long it was. He did not have drugs, do you need drugs to just get a few days. I swear, this is insane. I think we're all tragically waiting for one of these star of the moment to kill someone. oh yeah, that already happened, a slap on the wrist? Nope, nothing, Us regular people would be tossed away.

7. It's crazy that people will spend their lives believing that they can do anything that they want just because they are famous. I don't like how so many celebrities show to the world that they can do things and not get caught for it, they have to understand that they still have to pay for their wrong doing. I've read so many articles and headlines that is talking only about celebrities and they mistakes they make. What role models we are raising our children to look up to.

Just look at this website and also look at this website http://www.starvsstar.tv/ both great websites to get information from but the headlines are only for the wrong. Getting the dirty out of things.

8. So if she's trying to get a California license, what kind did she have before?

9. Ok haters... if any of you were famous you'd be happy getting the same treatment as her. I, for one, would love to toke up in my car...or the beach... or all the other places shes gotten caught doing it and not get in any trouble for it!

10. #4 Bill...

She was born in London, England. (that's according to her IMDB profile. Why else would TMZ mention she's a "naturalized U.S. citizen"? Naturnalized U.S. citizen are citizens not born in the U.S.

I wrote this because, had she been of some hispanic, asian or middle eastern descent, YOU racist here would have been quick to suggest the same!!

11. Why does it seem that all these young women in hollywood don't have valid driver's licenses? And why do they insist on driving when they can afford to have someone else drive them? Wow, things sure are strange on the west coast.

12. p.s. julie at # 6 Kiefer spent more time because it wasn't his first offense. He's had numerous run ins with the law as well. But i get what you're saying.

13. oh no, huh uh...Brit LOST CUSTODY over driving with her VALID Louisiana license, never allowed to drive her children again over running a red light! Brit got charged with hit and run for bumping an unoccupied car. Paris served TIME after suspicion of drunk driving charge and suspended license, violating probation. How come LiLo and Nicole got off so easily? They BOTH were in possession of and under the influence of alcohol/HARD DRUGS and DRIVING! Mischa deserves more than a slap, for ILLEGAL DRUG possession and driving DRUNK. Life may not be fair, but our courts should most certainly be FAIR.

14. Only a stupid idiot would deport a naturalized US Citizen. Mischa better clean up her life
now cause at this time their is virtually no difference between Mischa Barton and her O.C.
alter ego Marisa Cooper and she is going to end up the way like Cooper went if she doesn't
find help with her major problems and continue on with her career.

15. my arse-as the english say---would have been in jail!!!

tired of these stupid girls! -wont reffer to them as women-as women -id like to think have common sense!
the britneys,paris,nicoles-mischas-kim kard-olsen-bag lady twins-they all just melt into one-or woe is me jessica simpson--cant find a man so will jump on whoever passes by -until my dad comes to break it up!
they are stupid-talentless-some really arent very pretty or even shapely--just thin and somewhat passble
as the are-pass from guy to guy-none want to keep them just want their shot at doing them as they are easily gettable -due to the fact that they are always-drunk/hign or just especially needy!
then there the ones who are just famous due to parents-the uglies--rods daughter or bruce willis child-who reffered to herself as famous?!these girls are butt ugly and daddys money barely makes them passable-regardless of diet or work done!
