Mischa Baaaaaaaarton
Originally uploaded by the management.
The management has been made aware of the fact that Mischa Barton, star of best-show-on-TV The OC and international spokes-scarecrow for not eating, was also the freaky puke ghost in The Sixth Sense. Apparently I was the only person in the world who didn't know. The real question is this: is this the scene that put Mischa on the glamorous road to full-fledged celebrity bulemia? Has she graduated to the far more A-list anorexia nervosa? Is she perhaps dabbling in crystal meth, fancying herself a model type? If so, can we get her dealer's number?
Some reptilian part of my brain must have known that the Meesh was also the scary vomit girl... she has always unsettled me on a visceral level. Especially in this scene from the OC season premiere. Note the unlikely appearance of her frumpy, saggy ass... the last outpost of stubborn humanity on an otherwise extraterrestrial frame.
Six days and counting to the Pixies/Mission of Burma show. Here's a great Frank Black Francis Thompson quote about the reunion from Ken Switzer's Village Voice article:
"'People talk like, "Oh, they're just doing it for the money," as if it's some kind of ignoble thing. But the fact of the matter is, as a musician, you work really hard to get where you're at, you put a lot of effort into it, and maybe you fight with a lot of people about it.' So, he says, 'It's not just about money in the most evil sense of the word; it's about being an artist as opposed to being the manager of a warehouse.'"
Finally, just in case you were worried, renegade Rolling Stones remixer Fatboy Slim assuages the fear of electronic music fans everywhere: it's just in a slump right now. An offhanded admission to the mediocrity of his latest album?? Could be. Word on the street is that it's a lump of shit. Of course, how that differentiates the album from the rest of his work remains to be seen.
