MISCHA BARTON BLAMES THE PAPARAZZI MEDIA FOR DRUNK SPOILED HOLLYWOOD STARS

Hollywood star Mischa Barton was left disgusted with herself after her drunk driving arrest last year, because she can't stand drunk drivers at all. The O.C. television star pleaded guilty to a DUI in April and was sentenced to three years probation following her arrest last December. She tells Britain's Marie Claire magazine, "The thing is, I hate drunk drivers. Living in L.A., I can't stand them, and that's why I was so disappointed in myself. I wanted to prove to the court that I would take it completely seriously, so I went to rehab to prove I was sober. "It really helped in getting the more serious aspects of my case dropped because, you know, that's what they want to hear: you're not an alcoholic, and you don't have a problem." And the sexy star believes a lot of young Hollywood star's problems stem from the fact they are hounded by the media, insisting the gossip press can send stars "crazy." She explains, "I don't look at the gossip Web sites, it's unhealthy, and I think it's a large part of what drives people in L.A. crazy."

Editors Note: Funny, I blame the Hollywood stars for making me a drunk. At least we take the subway's and don't risk other peoples lifes !
