Mischa Barton Can't Get A Magazine Cover


If you were People or US Weekly or any of the tabloids would you give Mischa Barton a cover? Hell no. She isn't that big of a celebrity. The only reason she is kind of famous is because there is so much content that everyone has to fill and there are not that many women who dress like a hippie homeless person from the 60's and gets arrested.

The average person in the checkout line at the grocery store is going to have no idea who Mischa Barton is and so is not likely to buy a magazine with her on the cover despite the fact she is in a hospital and is bloated beyond recognition.

This hasn't stopped Mischa's publicist from trying to land her a cover though. According to The NY Post, Craig Schneider has been calling around trying to get Mischa a cover story this week. I'm glad to know he works hard for her getting publicity. How about putting that much effort into making sure she is ok. I think this is the same guy who said she planned on showing up to work on that new show of hers. Seriously? How about just focusing on her issues instead of trying to get her ready to be on some dumb ass CW show. What is more important?

Apparently as you all would, the tabloids have brought back a forth a parade of no's to Mischa on the cover. Schneider in a very crafty way said this in response. "I can assure you that I've been inundated with requests and inquiries from the celebrity weeklies . . . If none of them care, then by all means, please stop calling and e-mailing."

See? He makes it seem like the Post is wrong. They aren't. The tabloids are interested. hell, I am interested and they being responsible journalists are calling and asking him for information and to verify rumors they have heard so of course he has been inundated. Doesn't mean she is going to get a cover. I don't want to be morbid, but even if she had died of an overdose last week she probably wouldn't have got a cover.

the sad thing is she probably will see not getting a cover a failure and will sink lower.

i think fame is the harshest drug of all.

"even if she had died of an overdose last week she probably wouldn't have got a cover"

dude! a little hung over and crusty this morning are we??

lol

farmgirl said...

To me she is the Danny Bonaduce of her generation.
One role - f'ed up - desperate for attention.
Enty, even your coverage is a little much for such loser.

empyrios said...

jax: that's probably true and same goes if she reads any blogs or bad press about herself

do you ever watch The Hour with George Strombo? He had Lily Allen on last night (not sure if it was a repeat) and she said she started to drink a lot more and sink really low once she started reading gossip about herself.

I have to say girls like Mischa really piss me off. She's has a ton of potential. she's tall, relatively pretty, thin, and could work steadily in this industry if she wasn't such a fuck-up. I'll trade with her. I'll take those assets and run with them. Ugh.

(Can you see I'm having a day?)

**hugz** to mngddess........

captivagrl said...

can't see them keeping her for the show. she's pathetic.

MnGddess said...

(sniff) Thanks C-Chick. Now I'm off to get a donut. Donuts are medicine, you know. Ask Homer Simpson. On second thought, don't ask him..

*Miss_P* said...

unfortunaely for us, she still gets covers in the UK

Sue Ellen Mishkey said...

I am just waiting for people to go off on Ent for making fun of her. Don't you know she aws put in a psych ward on a 5150?! A 5150!!!!!

lmnop123 said...

Sue Ellen what is a 5150?

Unknown said...

i read a blog saying lindsay lohan tried to stop mischa's partying...that ended their friendship...i spit my coffee out when i read it!

selenakyle said...

Jeeze, I wonder why?

canadachick said...

vamp: she tried to stop her partying cause she was hoarding the drugs from Lilo LOL........

selenakyle said...

Oh no you didn't Enty! HAAAA, that's cold.

But probably true.

I won't be buying any damn rag mags, that's for damn sure, no matter who's on the covers.

I have to read about Mischa cuz she's been on CDAN and dlisted, but that's about the extent of my caring a f*ck about a junkie has-been.

Sorry...true!

dolla:

Apparently it is a code for you are really crazy and we are forcibly putting you in the crazy hospital for 72 hours so you and your crazies can chill the fuck out.

Sue Ellen Mishkey said...

On a side note:

Who in their right mind would buy a gossip magazine for 5 bucks when you can get better gossip on the internets for free?

lmnop123 said...

thanks Sue.

Dead Angel said...

The sad thing is that her "people" know if they don't get her working right away it won't be easy getting her another gig, and they won't get paid. People are a commodity that's just part of the deal. I think if they can't pull this CW deal together she's not going to be working for a long while.

Why do people think they can live on coke and booze and not have their lives derail?

jax said...

empryios- ya i saw that one b4, it was a repeat but made me like her more for being honest. i'm not famous but i've gotten flamed a few fricken times here and it makes me want to drink and do drugs so i can relate lol!

Julie said...

shes going to be blacklisted :\
and i mean, she may not be a great actress, but blacklisting = ughhhh

hahaha btw, did anyone watch that new simon rex webshow last night w/Paris Hilton, Jaime Pressly, Lance Bass and others? It was somewhat funny lol

jenna said...

She makes plenty of magazine covers in the UK - for all the wrong reasons but she makes them.

She need to sack her publicist. mngdess is right she's had a lot of potential (i know her acting isn't great but she could have done fashion stuff) and she seems to have bad management behind her. that and a meth dealer. life imitating art!

selenakyle said...

If all of we women could just like/love ourselves without all the bullshit out there telling us how to look, what to wear, how much to weigh, who to emulate, yada yada yada, all the FAKE BULL CRAP we'd ALL be the f*ck better off.

Starlets are no different.

And here's a hint for you, poor lil' Mischa--we ALL have cellulite, or sags, or stretch marks, or something ugly on our bodies.

It'd be way better for everyone if all you celebrity BITCHES weren't on magazine covers getting airbrushed all over the dang place.

Didja ever stop to think about THAT? What you and your ilk have done to the rest of us regular people over the years with your celebrity-hood being lastered all over the media?

Get over it and be happy you GET to be airbrushed. the rest of us hafta just suck it up.

*whew, rant over*

warmislandsun said...

Lindsay keeps working, so if Mischa makes it out of this, she could, too.

The best part of this post is the revelation that donuts are medicine. (thank you, mngddess) I need to be highly medicated!

Lisa (not original) said...

If overdosing wasn't such a profitable career move, it wouldn't be so popular. Stars arrested for DUI, in rehab for drug addiction, etc. don't deserve covers. They deserve to be right here on gossip blogs for the world to ridicule for free.

skylah said...

Good luck to her is all I can say cos baby girl needs it

figgy said...

Imagine what life would be like if you're 18-20, don't have much going for you except looks, don't have a good family life or true friends, not a good sense of self.

THEN, you suddenly are a star. Everyone seems to know you, money rolls in, you're on covers, everyone wants to date you or be your "friend."

Theeeeen...it ends just as suddenly. Can you blame a kid (and she's not much more than a kid) for fucking up? I can see it.

Katy said...

Poor thing she is soooooo wasted!
C'mon, when Lindsey Lohan says "hey your over the top"
Well Dear Lord in Heaven!

maryquitecontrary said...

I don't know much about the girl, but I feel bad for the situation she is in.
A 5150 hold is some serious stuff...

ahdaboom said...

wasn't she kind of a big deal at one time? like 2 or 3 years ago? just like brit-brit, no one reminds these young people that what goes up; must come down.

very, very sad.
