Interview with Mischa Barton at the Sony Vaio L Touch Launch

Not only did Sony debut the Vaio L Touch, it also debuted the world’s lightest Notebook (yup, lighter than MacBook Air): the X Series. Enchased in a lightweight carbon-fiber chassis, the X Series weighs just 1.6 pounds (with standard battery) and is just over a half-inch thin- roughly the width of a cell phone.

And guess who else apart from Peter Facinelli, Jill Zarin and Star Jones came to salute the new tech launches? Mischa Barton!

She looked absolutely stunning in a biker-chic, laid back “I’m a bad gal” way with her miniskirt, leather jacket and ankle-length boots.

BD: What brings you here?
MB: Honestly, I’m not very computer savvy, I don’t really go online much on Twitter. But I love computers.

BD: What’s next for you now?
MB: Well, I’m just looking at projects and scripts (note that the actress was going to be a lead in The Beautiful Life on CW when the network cut the show) and looking at films. And Ashton (Kutcher, who was the show’s producer) was so great about the whole thing.

BD: So would you move back to LA?
MB: No, I live in the city, I love NYC!

Note: at this point Mischa was whisked away by her publicist, but she looked great and her skin was glowing and flawless. I was going to ask her about her favorite beauty products…but ah well, there will be a next time!

I'm SO glad she's staying in NYC, instead of going back to LA. I don't ever want her back on the west coast. NYC, Britain, or Paris.

And, yay, more movies.

**Cristofle** · 10-11-2009, 10:01 AM

I don't think LA is very good for her, so I'm glad as well that she's staying in NYC.

**Sam_MC** · 10-11-2009, 05:33 PM

NYC, ftw!!

Ashley mentioned Mischa in her blog again. She was addressing whether or not, knowing what happened, she is still happy she did TBL. LOVE HER!

Quote:

I didn't really have any friends here when I came and now I have several including my girls Sara and Mischa - both rock stars.

**Cristofle** · 10-11-2009, 07:39 PM

Aw, I love her.

**Sam_MC** · 10-11-2009, 07:46 PM

She should have stayed in NY with Mischa.

Speaking of projects though, isnt Science of Cool still slated for November? I wonder if she's even still attached to film that.

And according to IMDB, Matt Dallas is attached too - Mischa's love interest in the GML video.

What do you think about PlanetCall.org ? Come have a look here PlanetCall.org | Our Future - Our Call

News Release

For immediate release: 9 October 2009

“Later is too late,” for action on climate change, says actress Mischa Barton

Later is too late for action on climate change, actress Mischa Barton warned global youth today as she encouraged them to take action – starting by signing a Declaration for an ambitious new climate treaty at PlanetCall.org | Our Future - Our Call and stating their “Call” for the solutions they want to see implemented. “Join me in calling for immediate action to protect our planet at PlanetCall.org. Later is too late,” says Barton.

No newcomer to the devastating impact of climate change on the developing world, the 23-year-old former “OC” star’s commercial and theatrical success has given her the opportunity to speak out on pressing global issues. Previously, she has been a spokesperson for "Climate Star," an organization that fights global warming through social and legislative activism. She is also an ambassador for the "One Water" campaign, which brings water to remote locations in Africa, and for "Save the Children" who she worked with in India for a month.

“Having an influential and compassionate young star like Mischa Barton support PlanetCall, and its aim of engaging global youth on climate change, at what is an absolutely critical time for our planet, will be pivotal to engaging even more young people whose futures depend on the success or failure of the decision-makers who will meet in Copenhagen this December,” said scientist and author Tim Flannery, Chair of the Copenhagen Climate Council, one of the founders of the PlanetCall initiative.

He added: “Our goal is simple. A unified global youth voice on climate change to secure an ambitious binding treaty at COP15. Sign the Declaration and help us reach our goal of reaching 1 million signatures. Young people from 100 countries have already signed. What we now need, with just two months until the UN Climate Change Conference, is the persuasive power of many, so I hope that many more people from all parts of the globe will log on and sign today, encouraging their family and friends to do the same.”

Also endorsed by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Connie Hedegaard, Danish Minister for Climate and Energy and host of COP15, among others, the PlanetCall initiative was launched at the World Business Summit on Climate Change in Copenhagen, in May 2009, an event headlined by Al Gore, Yvo de Boer, and Cate Blanchett. The PlanetCall Declaration will be handed over to decision-makers at COP15 in December.

PlanetCall is an invitation to young people to become co-architects of their future. PlanetCall is about sustainable solutions, and young people’s willingness to embrace a low-carbon future. This is exactly what is needed to foster innovation and sustainable solutions. On PlanetCall, you demonstrate your willingness to take part in building this sustainable future by doing three things: signing the Declaration; posting a Call; and forwarding on, asking all those you know to do the same.

The initiative is spearheaded by Monday Morning, Scandinavia's leading independent think tank, and the Copenhagen Climate Council, an initiative working for an effective new global treaty in Copenhagen in December, along with AIESEC, Indian Youth Climate Network (IYCN), China Youth Climate Action Network (CYCAN), Energy Action Coalition, and Energy Crossroads.

But many more organizations become partners by the day, encouraging their members to sign and using the news, events, and share functionalities of the site, as well as posting Calls and videos. Other engaged organizations include the World Student Community on Sustainable Development (WSC-SD), Oikos International, Australian Youth Climate Coalition (AYCC), Canadian Youth Climate Coalition (CYCC), 2degreesC, Envision, myclimate, Interfaith, Rework, Artist Project Earth, NewLifeCopenhagen, Sierra Youth Coalition, and Earth Hour.

Mischa Barton Says TV's Not for Her

Her show The Beautiful Life was cancelled almost before it began, but that didn't stop Mischa Barton from resuming her own beautiful life on Monday night at a party in New York City.

Demonstrating that she'd regained her model figure with a Versace gown at the Whitney Museum Gala, Barton, 23, said she doesn't mind not working for the small screen anymore.

"I think I need to back away from the whole TV approach," she said. "That whole world of network television, probably isn't, for me, a good idea now. I need to start reading for more serious roles."

But she's not sure exactly what the next project will be.

"It's too early to tell yet," she said. "I'm passing on all the [early] offers, because that's not the stuff you want to do. I want to go fight for interesting things and look for something that's going to be interesting for me ... as a role."

For now, her focus is on her body – she said she regularly works out with girlfriends – and on embracing life in Gotham.

"Reading scripts and enjoying living in New York," she said, calling her break from work "lovely." "Now that I'm not doing the TV show, I've got lots of time to work out."
