Mischa Barton, arrested for her lesser crimes

Tired of feeling like not quite part of the famously notorious coterie of Troubled Twentysomethings, Mischa finally decided to get herself arrested and see what the fuss what was all about:

Part of the cool kids club The former “O.C.” star was arrested in West Hollywood Thursday morning on charges of drunken driving and marijuana possession.

Barton, 21, was pulled over at 2:46 a.m. by police who saw her weaving between two lanes of traffic on La Cienega Blvd. after they spotted her failing to signal when turning, a spokesman for the L.A. County sheriff’s department said.

She posted $10,000 bail and was released to her mother, who picked her up in the family’s black Mercedes. An unusually disheveled Barton covered her face with a scarf to hide from photographers as she rushed to the car; once inside, she slid down in the back seat.

Once again I am confounded by the criminal justice system.  This is very much like when that murderous pimping bootlegging extortionist Al Capone was arrested, and eventually indicted, for such a bland offence as income tax evasion.  Is it really so hard to bring up someone on fashion crimes against humanity nowadays that the cops have to resort to picking on their driving and narcotic habits? 

A number of celebrities started out with teenage alcohol abuse, then became full blown drug addicts as they got older.

    Cat is correct, those belong at the bottom of a rag pile. I also couldn’t help but notice the very noticeable camel toe that she is sporting with the high-waist pants,wtf??

    Is this a new Survivor episode? Left naked in three mystery locations, you must steal the clothes of the natives… 1st: the Nation Weather Service balloon launch facility, 2nd: the PTA meeting in Middleville USA and 3rd: Farmer Jones hayloft. Extra points for using a plaid shirt as a loin cloth…
