Continuing her role as brand ambassador for Herbal Essences, photos of Mischa at a Herbal Essences photocall in Milan from April 15th have been uploaded. Courtesy Gossip Girls for these photos.

Scans of Mischa’s spread from Hello Magazine in the UK have been uploaded. Really cool and interesting article! And those of you who visit daily will remember Mischa’s photo shoot with the camels in Dubai; finally the shoot appears in a magazine. Big thanks to Mel from Penn Badgley Web for scanning.

Mischa Barton loves ‘dark’ men.

The former ‘O.C.’ actress – who recently split from Kooks frontman Luke Pritchard – is attracted to intense, brooding types even though they make her feel depressed and claustrophobic. She said: ‘I have always been in very heavy, long-term serious relationships… three in a row. I tend to be attracted to slightly dark men, meaning they have huge lows, which I can too. This is not conducive to being happy and carefree.

‘I have therefore set my mind to dating if I feel like it, but not getting into anything serious. It’s difficult to find the happy medium. I am dating in a general sense… nothing exclusive. I am enjoying myself.’  When it comes to choosing potential lovers, the 23-year-old beauty prides brains over bulging muscles. She added to Britain’s Hello! magazine: ‘I love men to be super-intelligent rather than Greek gods. I love hanging out with the boys, so even after a relationship has ended I like to stay friends.’

Mischa also spoke about her tumultuous past, including her 2007 conviction for driving under the influence and without a valid licence. She said: ‘I have no privacy and therefore I have grown up in the public arena. Not an excuse, just a fact.  ‘I should have known better than to drink-drive and I am just very happy nothing worse happened. I have learnt a huge lesson and am now also more wary of my friends and their influence over me.  ‘I should never have got in that car, and for that I admit my guilt. Sometimes you need a big shock to shake you up.’

Candids of Mischa leaving club Bardot in LA have been uploaded. They are from the same day as the previous set of candids.

Now back from Montreal where Mischa filmed her new pilot for The CW, she was quickly spotted out and about in LA. Unless the show gets an extra early pick up, we won’t know if it will go to full series until the middle of May. This is also the first set of candids with Mischa’s new hair colour.

The full spread from Mischa’s stunning editorial for Genlux Magazine has been uploaded (photos courtesy Genlux via their website, with thanks to Michele for the tip).
