They are both troubled stars famous for their public meltdowns and now singer Amy Winehouse and actress Mischa Barton have become pub mates. The two were spotted greeting each other at a Camden pub after Barton relocated from LA to London to be with new boyfriend, DJ Ali Love. Winehouse was at her favourite pub, The Hawley Arms, when the O.C. actress walked in, reported Daily Mail online. The supposedly-reformed pair were spotted shaking hands then kissing each other on the cheek before enjoying a chat over a drink. The Rehab singer, 26, was wearing her usual style of denim shorts, vest and ballet shoes, while Barton wore a patterned skirt, white T-shirt, beige waistcoat and battered boots. With their headline-making past behaviour, no doubt the two women had plenty of common ground to bond over. Winehouse is said to be clean after a high-profile battle with drug addiction, while Barton recently announced she has gone tee-total following her arrest in 2007 for driving under the influence.

Mischa Barton’s rep has dismissed reports the actress is planning to move back to her native London in a bid to make a fresh start and reboot her career on the West End stage. The actress, who was hospitalised last year after suffering a major meltdown, was rumoured to be leaving California and returning to the city of her birth to spend more time with her new boyfriend, U.K.-based DJ Ali Love. Britain’s Heat magazine also reported Barton was considering signing up for a theatre role to move her career in a different direction following a recent slump. But a rep for Barton insists the claims are false, telling GossipCop.com the report is “not accurate.”

Mischa Barton is reportedly quitting Hollywood. The former O.C. actress is reportedly planning to move to London to settle down with her new boyfriend, DJ Ali Love, who she has been dating for just a month. A source close to the star told heat magazine: “Mischa’s found a great new guy. She can’t wait to move to London to be with him. It’s already in the works.” The 24-year-old star is also hoping to launch a stage career and has set her sights on landing a leading role in a production in the UK capital’s West End theatre district. The friend added: “Instead of Hollywood gigs, Mischa’s focusing on a stage career in the West End. She wants to spend a year in London and see where things go with both the theatre and Ali. She’s so happy to be starting afresh. She’s so in love!” Mischa has previously stated she “feels more comfortable in England”, where she was born and lived until she was six years old. The actress – who has been linked with a string of famous men, including singers Luke Pritchard and Johnny Borrell – went public with her romance with Ali at London’s Lovebox festival last month. A source said at the time: “Mischa was looking pretty merry in a bedraggled short flowery dress and white bow. She and Ali were all over each other backstage, and kept popping off to the toilets – presumably for a cheeky kiss. “They just returned from a break in the South of France and things are obviously going really well.”

Mischa Barton is kicking off her career comeback with a healthy new lifestyle – she has quit drinking. The former O.C. star admitted to hitting “rock bottom” when she was placed on involuntary psychiatric hold last summer, following the cancellation of her TV series The Beautiful Life. The meltdown, which Barton blamed on botched dental surgery, came two years after she was charged with driving under the influence, stemming from a December 2007 arrest in Los Angeles. But the actress is determined to turn her career around and clean up her act – and she’s starting her health kick by giving up booze. She says, “I’m being healthy and working hard. I have had lots of offers coming in and as well as reading through scripts, I’m also designing my own range of bags. “I love England and I’ve been desperate to get here to see my friends and my boyfriend, but it’s been hard with the stuff going on in the States. “I’m avoiding drinking, which is a shame as there’s nothing better than a glass of delicious English Pimm’s.”

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Mischa was looking pretty merry in a bedraggled short flowery dress and white bow. She and Ali were all over each other backstage, and kept popping off to the toilets – presumably for a cheeky kiss. “They just returned from a break in the South of France and things are obviously going really well.” Mischa – who has been linked with a string of famous men, including singers Luke Pritchard and Johnny Borrell – recently said she was looking for a new man. She said: “I’m not even dating. I’m just on the prowl I suppose.” She also revealed how she has never been dumped and said the closest she had came to getting her heart broken was when a relationship ended mutually and she just got angry with the boyfriend for not letting her end the romance alone. She said: “I’ve never been dumped. One tried to make it quite mutual though so that felt as close to dumping as I’ve got. I kind of lost it and was like, ‘You are not turning this on me. I dumped you first.’ “I felt like my heart was broken at the end of a couple of relationships but it wasn’t really.”
