Mischa Barton ‘Grateful’ to be Unemployed

This should be filed under “Haha, yea right.” Mischa Barton, former star of the OC and then the psyche ward after being 5150’d, says she has no plans to return to tv because she’s on a break looking after herself.

“TV is not something that I’m looking at right now for a second, just because I’m really at a restful place in my life. I’m really just taking my downtime. I’ve seen a lot of other girls who just kept going and kind of spazzed out and I’m just really grateful to be settled right now and not working and not doing anything but working on myself.

“I just feel really blessed with a convergence of really good things going on right now so I’m not in a rush to do a project. I think television is gruelling and this year there’s been such an uproar with, like, the Charlie Sheens of actors – well, I think he’s amazing .

“I just think it’s not the time for me to be on television. I’ll just a wait a second on it, but I do like TV. It’s a good forum.”

My eyes rolled so hard they almost detached from my head. This isn’t a voluntary sabbatical. This is no one wanting to hire Mischa. This is exactly what unemployed people tell their friends. They say they’re just “finding” themselves all while rifling through your fridge for leftover pizza. You can bet after this, Mischa asked the reporter for some spare change for a taxi because she forgot her purse at home.

She got lucky with the O.C., which was 5 years ago. Too bad she squandered that opportunity. Did someone say Dancing with the Stars?

Dumb bitch + pot = really dumb bitch. I hope her tubes are tied.
