Mischa Barton often looks like a hippie that got dressed in the dark. Sometimes she gets it so wrong we want to cry and other times she gets it so right we rejoice and celebrate by... posting her photo and praising her.

This is one of those times. Mischa is wearing an adorable Mulberry dress at the Alicia Keys "Keep a Child Alive" Black Ball in London, which benefited AIDS/HIV charities. It still shows off Mischa's more or less bohemian style, what with the ruffles and what not, but the less is more approach is what really sets it off.

Plus Mulberry is an English brand that hails from London so it is excellent that she supports designers that are in her exact location.

The way Mischa's career has been going lately, this wouldn't be that surprising, but no, of course it isn't real. Clearly, the image is merely the actress' face plastered on of some random topless body.

But where did it come from?

The photo was snapped by a reader of the blog, dlisted, who writes: "So I'm going through the aisle and I see that this store sells everything, the kitchen sink, your moms, and panties. Below is the picture of the panties they are selling. I'm pretty sure Mischa Barton doesn't want you to know she's hawking 99 cent store panties."

Not exactly a stellar Photoshop job by the makers of Tyrone's 99-cent underwear -- but you never know, it might fool some people into dropping their hard-earned quarters on a pair of Mischa panties.

Mischa Barton's days as an A-list actress are basically over. But, she's still big in fashion. From New York to Berlin, this girl will show up anywhere! Although actual Germans Heidi Klum and Diane Kruger didn't feel the need to make an appearance at their country's fashion week, no worries -- Mischa was there to make a scene instead.

Rachel Bilson has a great sense of style - fact. Her look from the May 15 launch of Rogan for Target at Barney's in Beverly Hills is a great example of her classic, eclectic look that often mixes high fashion with low. She seamlessly blends a blazer with a bohemian style crocheted dress, neon bangles, and fashion forward open toe boots – a mish mash that probably shouldn't work together but do on Miss Bilson.

Our favorite piece here has to be those killer boots. God, we're such shoe whores.

I went to the legendary Wadsworth Theatre in Westwood, California to photograph a celebrity carnival designed to raise money for pediatric AIDS. Folks paid up to $1000 per head to come mingle with the stars and play carnival games like Pixie Hollow with magical Disney Fairies, High School Musical Karaoke, tree planting with Biolage, a Ferris Wheel and -- best of all -- the Cheetah Girls!

OK, it was for children, so I shouldn't act like these events were designed for me, but I still had fun.

A Time for Heroes Celebrity Carnival is sponsored by Disney and benefits the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. Each year Hollywood's best-known celebrities volunteer to raise funds to fight pediatric AIDS around the world.

Once upon a time, Mischa Barton was a star on the very popular television show, The O.C. Teens loved her, magazines put her on their covers, and designers were more than happy to outfit her for red carpet events.

Then one day, everything changed.

She had the writers of Fox hit kill her off, she hooked-up with this guy who looked liked he smelled and her career soon began to go on the decline as a result.

What do the stars hold for the stars this week? Find out in our regular feature, Ho'roscope. The lives of celebs are much more glamorous and sexy, including their horoscopes. This is a sneak peek into the astrological powers that influence fame and fortune.

Here we go. I've beaten flight delays, jet lag, sharing a room the size of a closet, and driving a scooter for the first time in my life.

Before my Chopard party, I went over to the Hotel Majestic Cannes Barrière to catch some of the Jury Panel leaving to the opening night ceremony for "Blindness." Sat around for an hour with French fans with point and shoot cameras, until Mischa Barton showed up with her over the shoulder glamour. She was followed by the always classy Faye Dunaway, then Natalie Portman in a stylish purple strapless dress. And I don't know who Amira Casar is, but I dig her meter long bow tie and the checkerboard skirt. Is it suitable for Cannes?

After that it was off to Chopard, who hosted a party celebrating Italian designer Alberta Ferretti. Singer/actress and all around lick Juliette Lewis disc jockeyed the party where she played disco, techno and a few of her own tunes. Australian actress Cate Blanchett posed with the designer and a few friends.

Conclusion? Purple is already a graceful theme for ladies this year. We'll see how much more comes out. Also, Alberta Ferretti works well with the larger jewelry of Chopard -- definitely a nice combination.

Maybe Mischa Barton thinks she's on a free pass since she's down under. If she somehow has it in her head that these pictures won't find their way back to us all the way from Australia she's crazy! At the 2008 MTV Australia Awards she went a little nutty with her outfit -- again.

Leggings are here to stay for the time being. Like any other style that has a shelf life of more than a year, it must evolve. The evolutionary chain for leggings is pretty short because they will always just be a really tight bottom. The only factors you can really change are their fabrication and the length. This fall leggings have done just that.

The newest leggings to be seen in are extra long latex leggings. Celebrities like Mischa Barton and the Olsen twins have been spotted around tinsel town wearing these glam rock inspired leggings. Celebrities aren't the only ones either; famous fashion designer/ stylist Patricia Field is selling them on her site as well as online super-retailer Shop Bop.

I have to say, as insane as they look I do like them. These leggings are great for an over-the-top rocker look, as well as tamer more casual look.

I will warn you to please wear with these latex leggings with caution, they aren't for everyone. If you wear them the wrong way you could end up looking like a bad Halloween costume, and no one wants to see you look like that.

In case you haven't noticed, it's fashion week, so all the designers and celebrities have come out to show what they've cooked up for fall (and to see what everyone else is wearing). Obviously, being a high-profile person gives you a kind of notoriety and power not normally afforded to models -- so it's not surprising that someone like Nicole Kidman, Mischa Barton or Katie Holmes would get big bucks to walk down the runway.

But why would they, when these celebrities can get paid tens of thousands of dollars just to show up.

In a recent article on Forbes.com, it was revealed that big designers hire "wranglers" who pay famous people to sit in the front rows of their fashion shows. That, in itself, isn't exactly insider information -- but what is surprising, is just how money these celebrities can get.

For instance, Katie Holmes would probably get $50,000 -- just to sit there -- while lesser stars like Kidman or Barton would get $25,000 to $40,000.

I have obviously chosen the wrong profession.

Young Hollywood can often dictate trends even if they are absurd and ridiculous. Case in point -- former OC starlet Mischa Barton looking like a crazed soccer mom in these high-waisted jeans. High-waisted pants have been trying to nudge themselves back into the spotlight for quite some time with a minor success last year with the high-waisted trousers... the jeans, however, try as they might, continue to flop.

Leave it to out-of-work actress Mischa Barton to wake the dead and go out in public sporting a pair. My theory is that since Mischa has nothing better to do she took the "job" of promoting ugly jeans. The result; these jeans designed by Ditto (and their uglier sister in red) are being sold at L.A. boutique Lisa Kline.

We can only hope this trend doesn't catch on. What do we think, a denim do or a denim don't?

After become absurdly famous from The OC, Mischa Barton has been cast in a number of movies, all set to release in the next couple years. At 21, she's on the brink of international super-stardom, and, according to a recent London Times profile, the fashion icon might be starting her own clothing line.

The questions is: do you care?

Sure, Barton always looks good in the offbeat, eclectic, and mildly eccentric outfits she wears strutting around New York, and she's definitely got more fashion sense than some of her 20something peers, but shockingly attractive movie stars tend to look good in whatever they're wearing. Can the actress create clothes that normal women will look good in?

Regardless, given the recent rash of celebrity-designed clothing lines, whatever Barton creates will have to truly stand out if it's going to make an impact.

Model/actress/ex-paramour-of-Uncle-Jesse, Rebecca Romijn just signed a year-long contract to be the advertising face of the clothing line Bebe. For the last two years, this job had been held by every designer's darling, Mischa Barton. Mischa, I'm sure, has moved on to bigger and better things. It's actually surprising to me that Bebe has decided to go with Romijn instead of another under-21 Hollywood starlet. For a company that has built an empire around the "little black clubbing dress", Rebecca hails from a much more mature demographic. But that could be a good thing in the long run. After all, as someone who has completely written off Bebe as "tarty teen wear", a new, older face might actually make me give Bebe a second chance.
