Mischa Barton at the Brystal Beach party

Hamming it up at the Chopard and Alberta Ferretti Opening Gala at Crystal Beach, Mischa Barton is enjoying all that’s offered at the Cannes Film Festival.

And the trip to the renowned cinema showcase got a lot shorter this year for the former O.C. star, as she recently set up house in Paris, France.

“I’m living in Paris right now so I thought I would come down (to Cannes) for a few days,” the British-born actress told People magazine.

When asked the reason behind the move, Mischa replied: “No reason. I’ve just always wanted to move there. I’m enjoying some time off.”

Talking about the atmosphere in southern France this time of year, the 22-year-old added: “It’s always good fun. It’s pretty manic. I’m hoping it calms down a bit.”

Mischa Barton’s a Bikini Babe

Clearly taking her cues from Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, Mischa Barton staged a paparazzi photo shoot this past Wednesday, as an attempt to take public attention off of her DUI conviction.

The “Oh in Ohio” babe was spotted frolicking on the beach in a sexy two-piece Pucci bikini as she acted her way through a series of set-up shots.

At one point, she even picked her wedgie in an attempt to make the photos seem truly candid. Unfortunately there were way too many telltale signs that the pics had been staged.

For instance, in a few shots, she’s kneeling on her beach blanket while supposedly reading a book, despite the fact that no one reads in that position, especially at the beach.

Additionally, she looked way too aware of the paparazzi presence during her sunbathing afternoon.

The following day, Barton was sentenced to three years probation and a $1700 fine in a plea bargain stemming from her DUI arrest back in December.

Mischa Barton ready to strip naked on screen

The 'St. Trinian's' star has no problem baring all if the role requires it, but claims she just hadn't the opportunity yet.

Mischa, 21, said: "I don't mind nudity. I just don't do it that often. It depends on the film and if I trust the director and if the context is emotional or just sexual."

The actress is rumored to have been offered the starring role in the new Supergirl movie, and admits she would love to play the sexy heroine.

She said: "It would be pretty awesome. But everybody in Hollywood goes up for those films. I haven't been offered anything."

The former star of The O.C. has also spoken about her last appearance as rebellious teenager Marissa Cooper in the hit US TV show.

Mischa admits she loved filming Marissa's car crash death scene and kept demanding it be made gorier.

She added to Maxim magazine: "You have no idea how much fun I had doing that scene. I was on the set, yelling, 'More blood! More blood!' She needed to go out with a bang."

Mischa Barton has signed up to play a lesbian in her latest movie.

The former 'O.C.' star will portray Russian teenager Lana in Finding t.A.T.u about two girls who fall in love at a t.A.T.u concert.

Mischa, 21, has played a lesbian before. Her 'The O.C.' character Marissa Cooper had a brief fling with wild child barmaid Alex.

Mischa Barton shocked guests by accidentally flashing nipples at a children's charity event

Mischa Barton shocked guests at a children's charity event by accidentally flashing one of her nipples.

The actress experienced her wardrobe malfunction at the Save the Children event at New York's Lincoln Centre - where guests included former US President George Bush Sr. - on Thursday night (09/06/2007).

One onlooker said: "Mischa was wearing a sparkly yellow dress and one of her nipples was blatantly showing! It was so not appropriate for Save the Children."

A representative for the 21-year-old actress denies she bared her boob, saying: "It didn't happen, because if it did, there would be a photo."

Mischa - who is about to appear as a sexy schoolgirl in new movie St. Trinian's - recently revealed she is desperate to play a Bond girl in the next 007 outing, tentatively titled Bond 22.
She said: "I'd love to be a Bond girl! What girl wouldn't? It's my dream."

Mischa Barton and Silvstedt's 'bitchfest' at Cannes film fest!

Actresses/models Mischa Barton and Victoria Silvstedt had a vocal slugfest at De Grisogono party which left ‘The O.C.’ actress red-faced.

According to a source the pals fell out due to Silvstedt’s ‘whining’, as the two argued about giving company to each other.

"Mischa was fed up of Victoria's whining and was telling her to move on. But Victoria completely lost it,” the Mirror quoted the source, as saying.

Silvstedt yelled at Barton, complaining that she is ignoring her.

"Where the hell are you going now? Why do you keep walking away from me?” Silvstedt said.

Barton shouted back at the Swedish model saying that their intentions were different, so there was no need to keep sticking to each other all the time.

"We're not even going in the same direction. We're not going to the same place,” Barton said.

This was not the end, for as Barton was about to leave the party at the Hotel du Cap's Eden Roc nightclub, the former Playboy Playmate confronted her and abused her.

“There goes the b****! There goes the b****!' It was highly embarrassing,” the source quoted Silvstedt, as saying.

This was not the only incident that left the 21-year-old red-faced, as earlier this week she was embarrassed when she fell out of her top while leaving a London nightclub.
