For some reason, Mischa Barton, whose latest movie Walled In was a straight-to-DVD horror flick, is still getting press. She is now on the cover of the “Naked body confidence issue” of Cosmopolitan UK. Due to the nature of the issue, there are headlines next to her that say things like “Your body rocks!” “Cellulite is not a crime!” and “Married for eighteen months before I had sex with my husband!”
People who care about the mediocre actress have noticed recently that she’s been looking scary skinny. In the issue of Cosmo, she admits that when she broke up with her last boyfriend, she dropped from a size 12 to a size 6, (In US Sizes this is a size 10 to a 4) but now she feels healthy and happy – and it looks like she’s gained a little weight (in a good way).
Barton’s body has been media fodder for years now — first when she was waifishly thin, then later when she was mocked for having cellulite (which she would claim was doctored into photos).
Barton tells Cosmo, “Surely there are more important issues than if someone has cellulite? And I don’t understand the point of people looking for bad things. Why bother? I know it’s human nature to want to pick on other people, but I find it a little shallow.”
She also claims she dropped a few sizes — going from a 12 to a 6 or an 8 — following her breakup last year from Rooney guitarist Taylor Locke.
“The only way to be happy and be a more enjoyable person to be around is to embrace what you’ve got,” she says. “Everyone has issues about their body, but I feel confident now. I’m healthy and happy.”

Mischa was recently cast in the CW’s new show The Beautiful Life, which stars Mischa Barton as a supermodel, but producers asked her to gain weight because they were worried that her skinny frame would send the wrong message to their teenage audience. Strange concern for a show about a supermodel.
Mischa was for some time traipsing around Europe doing much of nothing, but her IMDB page lists several new projects coming up. Hopefully while putting on weight, she also managed to gain some talent.

Wait wait. She did more work after the OC?
I’m just trying to figure out why she’s still relevant….

How much did she have to pay Cosmo to get on the cover? Talk about irrelevant and noooooo I don’t want to see her anywhere close to naked. Or dressed either, for that matter.

I just don’t get the supposed appeal of her.

Since when do TV producers care about “sending the wrong message” to teenagers or anyone else?

Maybe being naked is the price she paid for being on the cover. Lord knows she does NOT know how to dress.

In the first picture Mischa’s looking so much like the british model Lily Donaldson in a Dior ad she made last year…even the pose is kinda similar.
I just wonder why Mischa gets so many magazine covers. She’s not even working. I can’t remember the last time I heard of her in any TV show, or movie, or anything. Lindsay and Mischa are like, the winners of the category “magazine-covers-for-no-apparent-and-sensible-reason”.

She’s a pretty lady and if you compare her to other starlets, she’s not a bad person.

She is a beautiful woman, but she CANT act to save her life.

she looks stunning but her picture is very airbrushed. I work in photoshop every day making people beautiful and i can see the tricks: eyes colour enhanced, slimmer arm, smoother skin, extra layers of hair, no eye lines.. perfection to exaggeration. she is a beautiful woman for sure but i wish the image was more truthful- nobody looks like this.
