MISCHA BARTON SAYS "MODELLING IS EASY"

Modelling Is Easy For Mischa Barton

Mischa Barton has branded modelling "easy".The former 'O.C.' star, who has lucrative contracts with Neutrogena and Kedstrainers, insists models are paid far too much for what they do. Mischa said: "Modelling is incredibly easy. It's a nice job and it's ridiculous that you get paid so much for doing it."The 21-year-old has also slammed reports she is underweight, claiming she has a "fast metabolism". Mischa said: "I've never been too thin. I love eating, especially ice cream.The 'thin factor' has nothing to do with me. It's unfortunate because some actresses do have a problem, which means everyone else comes under the same umbrella."I had a personal trainer for a while, but I'm quite lazy. I have a fast metabolism, so I don't need to work out."Mischa admits she previously considered other career paths away from acting. She explained: "I've thought about all kinds of other professions, I was interested in psychiatry, psychology and journalism, but I'm always drawn back to acting. I was born in London and if I was still there now, I would probably be a lawyer."

MISCHA BARTON GIVES UP PARTYING FOR DOG WALKING AND A GOOD BOOK

Mischa Barton And Nicole Richie Have Jamba Juice

Mischa Barton has ditched partying for dog walking.The former 'O.C.' star - who is famed for partying with Nicole Richie -insists she prefers to stay out of the limelight and entertain friends at home. Mischa told Weekend magazine: "I know I look the part, and people used to come up to me in the street and talk to me as if I was a crazy party girl. But I don't go out clubbing because that whole thing is too claustrophobic. As for shopping, I'd rather walk my dogs, Ziggy Stardust and Charlie Barton."I cook a mean lasagne, and some people say my potatoes au gratin are pretty on fire."The 21-year-old admits her simple lifestyle disappoints many of her fans,but she insists she is nothing like other young female stars who are renowned for their partying.She said: "I guess some people are disappointed. I'm always being associated with other girls, but we're not in the same crowd. I have only met Paris Hilton once and that was in passing. I am friendly with Nicole Richie, but people see us at parties and assume we all know each other."I actually spend my evenings curled up with a good book. Dostoevsky and John Steinbeck are my favourites."
