Mischa Gets Three Years Probation

Mischa Barton, the former star of Fox’s The O.C. pleaded no contest for her drunken driving arrest last December in West Hollywood. Mischa didn’t attend today’s hearing, but her lawyer attended on her behalf to enter no-contest pleas to misdemeanor driving under the influence and driving without a license. I really hope this trend of reckless and drunken driving in the young Hollywood community stops. Yeah, it’s amusing to see these celebs and their horrible mug shots, but they’re lucky their lives have been spared. And how about the other drivers and pedestrians roaming the streets? Okay, I’ll stop sounding like your mother now. Mischa will have to attend alcohol education classes, will be fined and put on three years’ probation.
