 Mischa Barton has turned down a role on the CW show Gossip Girl, her rep tells Us Magazine. Mischa, 22, was approached to play Georgina Sparks, "an old friend of reformed party girl Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively)." Barton is currently in Paris for Fashion Week and to promote her upcoming film Closing the Ring. "The actress — who was charged with DUI and marijuana possession this past week from a December arrest — last appeared on the Fox hit The O.C. Her character was killed off in 2006," says Us. It was the producers' decision to write her off the show but Mischa said of the situation, "I really think it's best to do movies now." |
