"... and to top it all she has an unfortunate habit of appearing in unflattering photos"

I don't know Mischa Barton - I'm not sure I've even ever seen anything with her in it - but after reading this article in the Daily Mail can I just say on her behalf - "oh, just fuck off."


Fun Fact From History for Younger Readers: On September 8 1997, the Daily Mail printed the following - "The proprietor of the Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday and Evening Standard announced last night that his papers will not in future purchase pictures taken by paparazzi."

You've never watched an episode of the OC?? Ever?? Lordy. x
(by Hayley. I am too lazy right now to set up an account merely to question your non-viewing of the O.C., which i find hard to believe)

I demand to see the legs on the assignment editor who deemed these photos worthy of a story. After all, people who live in glass houses...

How long did it take for them to break that little promise?

Allan - About a month as I recall. Though things only really kicked back in with the traditional post-Christmas "shit, there's nothing to put in the paper - ooh, what's this just come in from Sandy Lanes?" moment.

Hazel - I think I might have seen one. Boy who looked much too old to still be at school doing cage fighting? Jim Robinson in it (not that that narrows things down much, he's everywhere now, isn't he - who saw that coming?)
