Mischa Barton Wants Out of "The O.C."

It always happens. No matter how big a show is, someone in the cast always outgrows the smaller screen. UPI says that Mischa Barton might be tiring of "The O.C." and its beautiful people. How can that be?

Apparently, Barton is worried about being typecast, as well as the show's not-so-stellar ratings. It's true that it's in a crappy timeslot, but is she tired of collecting a paycheck? The rumor mill is also reporting that she calls in sick and shows up late a lot. Sounds real professional.

Maybe she is just too busy working with bigger budgets. Barton is currently working on three films. She has been with the show since its premiere. "The O.C." airs every Thursday at 9:00 p.m. (EST) on Fox. -- Rachel Cericola
