MISCHA BARTON DECIDES TO QUIT TELEVISION?

Troubled actress Mischa Barton has decided to quit TV after the cancellation of her latest small-screen series "The Beautiful Life" because she wants to focus on "more serious roles".

The 23-year-old rose to fame starring in teen show "The O.C." and signed on to Ashton Kutcher's modelling drama "The Beautiful Life" earlier this year which was scrapped due to poor ratings after just two episodes.

Barton is now reconsidering her acting future and realises the small screen might not be for her, reports people.com.

"I think I need to back away from the whole TV approach. That whole world of network television, probably isn't, for me, a good idea now. I need to start reading for more serious roles," she said.

Barton insists she will take her time to decide her next project.

"It's too early to tell yet. I'm passing on all the (early) offers, because that's not the stuff you want to do. I want to go fight for interesting things and look for something that's going to be interesting for me... as a role," she said.

"(I'm) reading scripts and enjoying living in New York. Now that I'm not doing the TV show, I've got lots of time to work out," she added.

>>>Actress and model Mischa Barton played poor-little-rich-girl Marissa Cooper in the popular television series The O.C.. Barton was born in the United Kingdom, moved to New York as a child and began acting and modelling before she was in her teens. In the late '90s she began getting TV and movie roles, including a small role (as the poisoned girl) in M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense (1999, starring Bruce Willis). She had the lead role in the adolescent love story Lost and Delirious (2001) and appeared in several episodes of TV's Once and Again, but it was The O.C. that made her a star. Between 2003 and 2006 she worked on the series and as a model for clothing and cosmetics companies. Barton's character, Marissa, was killed in a car accident at the end of the third season -- a plot point the actress inadvertently revealed prior to the episode's airing. Since leaving the series, she has focused on modelling and a career in films.

Mischa Barton kicked out by toilet attendant!

Mischa Barton was left embarrassed after she was kicked out by a toilet attendant for dragging a friend into the toilet stall with her, it has emerged.

The 23-year-old actress was out with five friends and her new boyfriend at Whisky Mist nightclub in Mayfair, London, when she tried to drag friend Bridget into the toilet stall with her.

As they tried to go into the toilet stall, they were stopped by the toilet attendant, who kicked the actress out of the loo.

According to the Daily Mail, the attendant was later forced to knock on the door repeatedly, when Barton took too long in the stall solo.

"Then her mate was knocking to check she was feeling okay," the New York Daily News quoted an onlooker as saying.

"When she came out of the cubicle she was complaining about people knocking on the door. She looked slightly worse for the wear as she attempted to apply her make-up," the onlooker added.
