Barton Around: Just how desperate is Mischa Barton for a job? So desperate that she's
resorted to walking through London's King's Cross Station -- the very same place
where Harry Potter catches the Hogwarts Express -- wearing a wizarding robe.
Could this be a ploy, a la Sean ... moreYoung's homemade Catwoman costume, to nab a role
in the magically successful franchise? If so, the vacant-eyed starlet seems to
realize she won't be allowed anywhere near Platform 9 3/4, so she hedges her
bets by suiting up for a few other potential parts. Mischa's necktie and thrift
store men's suit pants are a plea to Woody Allen to let her play Annie
Hall's equally neurotic but not nearly as charmingly dizzy daughter in a sequel.
Meanwhile, she hopes her wide-brim hat and ringleted locks will put her in the
running for a "Gone With the Wind" remake, in which she'll perhaps co-star as
Scarlett O'Hara's BFF, Marissa O'Cooper, a troubled Southern rich girl who meets
her untimely and fan-cheered end in a tragic horse-drawn carriage accident. Close
