Go Away!
Mischa Barton and her reps f'ed up the Gossip Girl thing royally, according to TV Guide.
Turns out that Barton and her peeps decided to go public about turning down the Gossip Girl role before even sitting down with the show's execs to tell them of her decision.
How unprofesh!
Why would the barely working Mushy do this?
Well, according to the source (an industry insider) believes Barton's reps were desperate to remind the public of what an in-demand actress she is. In other words, they wanted to LIE.
Fartone's campy leaked the offer as publicly as they could and passed on it as publicly as they could.
So not classy.
We say the plan back fired! A lot of people we heard from dissed on Mushy! And, Gossip Girl fans from across the nation were celebrating that she wasn't going to ruin the show.
One thing Barton excels at is pissing off Gossip Girl and OC creator Josh Schwartz.
Two years ago, on the eve of Marisa Cooper's death on The O.C., the Mush spoiled the big twist when she "accidentally" told a reporter that her character was going to die the day before the episode aired.
Three strikes and you are out, Mush Mush!
Update: We just spoke with Fartone's publicist and she assures us that no one from her camp leaked the Gossip Girl news and that they are not using that to get publicity. You use jobs - not offers, says her rep.
It's the old he said/she said.

Will You Buy This???
Mimi Goes To The Hills!
wait, so she turns down the offer, and SHE'S the desparate one? go away perez.
She is seriously the worst actress ever! How she belongs in Hollywood no one will ever know, we can only hope she travels over the Bermuda Triangle and disappears forever.
She ruined The OC for me with her bad acting. Don't let her anywhere near GG.
If Mischa Barton is on Gossip Girl I'll definitely watch it! I loved her in The OC!
PEREZ- GIVE HER A BREAK. SHE'S YOUNG AND SHE'S TRYING. THAT'S ALL SHE CAN DO. SHE GIVES IT A SHOT AND YOU SHOULD GIVE HER A BREAK. THERE'S ROOM FOR ALL OF US IN ENTERTAINMENT. SHE'S NO WORSE THAN ANYONE ELSE THAT YOU TALK ABOUT…. THE JONAH BROS, THESE YOUNG GUYS- IT'S ALL THE SAME.. CUTESY MID-LEVEL TALENT WITH A GOOD AGENT.
EMBRACE IT! IT'S YOUR LIVELIHOOD!
LET'S STOP JUDGING SO MUCH.
THANKS!
Am I the only one who thinks she looks a lot like Pete Dohetry?
You sound like the biggest idiot Perez !!! Majority of the things that you say sound like bullshit.. the least you could do is try and make it sound believable.. Fat f–k..
I don't understand why you always say 'barely working' or 'out of work'. She always seems to be shooting movies at the moment. I mean I'm not going to exclaim her greatness as an actress but since christmas she's had 2 films out here in England, St Trinians and Closing The Ring and just looking at IMDB she has 3 films for 2008 in post production, one which is currently filming and one in pre production. I think that's actually a really impressive and productive year. Perez you might not like her but be honest.
perez. your a hack… shes awesome. get a life
For such a homely woman, you think she'd grab anything she could get.
*nice bonnet !
perez you know shit about how Hollywood works. You CAN'T go public with an offer. It's not legal. If Barton's people did it they could be sued. Casting feels retarded that she passed being a 'less in demand' actress and concocted the tale.
I mean, she has been working a ton lately but it's mostly indie fair.
Mischa is a fine girl who is taking good care of her choices. I respect her a lot. So what if she smokes pot, so does half the world, really.
I think she is holding out for some good roles.
PEREZ, YOU SHOULD DO A SEPARATED AT BIRTH: MUSHY & DOPERTY! YUCKY!
Wow….she fails….
They need anyone they can get on gossip girl cause that show is a load of CRAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Looks like the female Pete Doherty in that hat..
Gossip Girl is such a breath of fresh air compared to the long drawn out drama that was the OC. Keep it fresh and cute and keep Misha away from it!!!
Can someone please explain to me why Perez calls her Mushy Fartone? Please it's driving me nutso????
Mushy Looks like Pete Doherty
thank God she is not going to be in Gossip Girl , she will just ruin that show
SHE HAS WENT DOWN HILL FASTER THEN ANYTHING!!!!SHE WAS NEVER THAT PRETTY AND NOW SHE JUST LOOKS LIKE SHIT ALL THE TIME ,WHAT HAPPEND,THE OC WAS LIKE A NEW DAWSONS CREEK AND EVERYONE IS YOUNG ON IT, NOW STARS FROM THE DAWSONS WHO ARE OLDER LOOK FAR BETTER.SHE WANT FROM YOUNG TO ALMOST GRANNY IN ABOUT A YEAR.
TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THE PIC!!!
She is a terrible actress!! Why would anyone want her to work for them anyway???
Quit hating on Mischa! she hasn't even done anything to get bad publicity!
The OC was an amazing show, and everyone knows that only AFTER mischa got killed off did the show go downhill. hhhmm, is that a sign that people actually did like her? ya it is
shes so ugly now!!
Mischa Barton will be shooting a new film in Ireland in 45 days with Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, produced by John Montague, and the title is "The Truth About Michael Egan"
First, she looks terrible with that fake blonde hair. Second, why should she be "loyal" to the OC producers? They are the ones who made the stupid decision to get rid of her character, who was, from my point of view, the best part of the show. Why do you think Season 4 tanked?!
HEY LEAVE MISCHA ALONE!! SHE IS AN AMAZING ACTRESS SHE'S JUST GOING THROO A HARD TIME !!
