Misch-ing out
By Alice Walker, Emma Donnan & Katie Hind

Mischa Barton has been causing some hair-tearing in Cannes. The team behind the star’s new movie You And I just can’t track her down.

“It’s been quite a nightmare,”

said one exasperated aide. “She hasn’t checked in so we have had to cancel interviews and photo sessions at the last minute.

“She didn’t even show up, not even for one minute, at the gigantic party we threw just for her in Cannes.”

Mischa, 22, seems to have had “other commitments” - party-hopping around the luxury yachts.

It’s Mischa time again.
BBC Radio 1’s Natalie Jamieson spoke to the director of her new movie, Roland Joffe (yes, the same Roland Joffe who made The Killing Fields) last week.
He was at a loss to explain why his star had pulled out of interviews for the film.
“She hasn’t pulled out of interviews, she’s pulled out of everything,” he said. “We don’t know where Mischa Barton is!
“All I can say is her room is here, she is here, but trying to get the two together has just been impossible. We just don’t know where Mischa is.
But he wasn’t too angered by the vanishing act. “Mischa’s 21,” he said.
“I have no idea where she is, but sometimes I don’t know where my 21-year-old daughter is as well.”
Russian pop group taTu - who are still going, apparently - star alongside Barton in the film. Describing their movie debut, they gave us the quote of the festival.
“Is not lesbian film,” said the duo. “Is love film.”

The errant actress is, we’re told, now in London, having singularly failed to do anything to help promote her film in Cannes last week.
She’s in the UK to launch (wait for it…) a handbag! Oscar Wilde would be proud.
Her PR has told Radio 1 that Barton will do an interview, but on one condition - that they only ask questions about handbags.

She should switch to Vodka, much easier on the brain the next morning
