Barton’s Rep: ‘No Problems On ‘Law & Order’ Set’

A rep for Mischa Barton has dismissed reports the actress behaved “unprofessionally” while filming a new episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. The actress, who is playing a prostitute in a guest role on the TV series, allegedly upset cast and crew after repeatedly forgetting her lines while shooting earlier this week. The former O.C. star is said to have frustrated her co-star Mariska Hargitay by relying on her for cues to finish their scene. A source tells the New York Daily News, “People close to her were hoping this would get her back on track. But it looks like she’s going to need yet another chance.” But a spokesperson for Barton insists there have been no problems: “Everything’s going swimmingly on set.”

Mischa Barton To Hook It Up on SVU

Where do you go after playing a glamorous model named Sonja Stone on The CW’s short-lived The Beautiful Life? How about to Law & Order: SVU as a hooker named Gladys? SVU executive producer Neal Baer has been twittering teases about Mischa’s casting with the clues: Bongo, Singer and Austin. The Texas/Bongo clues got me all excited that he was bringing Matthew McConaughey on to the show, but Baer called me up to exclusively reveal the casting of Mischa, who has played characters with those last three names. She played Katie Singer on Once and Again, Betty Ann Bongo on an animated series called Kablam!, and (Baer was really reaching) a character named Vicky Austin in a 2002 TV Movie called A Ring of Endless Light. (All he had to do was say Cooper, and we would have known he was talking about The OC star.) Baer says he first took a shine to Mischa when she was a kid actress in The Sixth Sense. “She’s gone on to do amazing work both on TV and on the stage,” says Baer, who thought casting Mischa as a hooker would surprise viewers. The episode, set to air March 3 (after the Olympics conclude) will reveal that Mischa’s character is hiding a secret that will prove complicating for Mariska Hargitay’s Benson. I’d just like to be on set when the AD’s yell out, “No, I said Mischa, not Mariska!” Source: TV Guide Magazine

Barton’s show could have ‘life’ yet

Mischa Barton’s cancelled TV show is coming back from the dead – bosses behind The Beautiful Life are planning to air the axed episodes next year. The former The O.C. star signed on to Ashton Kutcher’s modelling drama earlier this year, but the series was scrapped by U.S. network The CW in September after just two episodes, due to poor ratings. Now TV bosses are planning to resurrect the programme by airing the remaining shows next summer. A statement from show spokesman Paul MCGuire reads, “The status of unaired episodes has yet to be determined.”
