Mischa Barton, who played a wealthy, troubled teenager on "The O.C.," got a dose of reality Tuesday when she was charged with four misdemeanors related to a drinking-and-driving arrest last year. She was found driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, driving while having a 0.08 percent or higher blood alcohol level, driving without a valid license and possession of 28.5 grams or less of marijuana, according to court papers. Barton was scheduled to be arraigned Thursday in Beverly Hills Superior Court.
'Juno' screenwriter
Diablo Cody gets national exposure
Being the most famous stripper-turned- screenwriter in the world isn't always as pleasant as it may sound. Diablo Cody, who won an Academy Award for ''Juno,'' has spent the past few months being scrutinized and panned for the very things that make her unique. The New York Post printed a picture of Cody for its after-Oscars cover that featured her bikini-clad stripper tattoo with the headline "Who's Tat Girl!" Earlier this month, the Web site Something Awful posted three pages of a fake Cody screenplay called ''Quotey'' that mocked the hipster wordplay she showcased in ''Juno.''
