‘Candid’ Paparazzi Pictures Prove Mischa Barton May Be A Decent Actress After All

What’s a girl to do when the only headlines she’s making involve DUIs and smoking the reefer? Why, pose for highly styled, candid-ish bikini shoot with the photo agency widely known for setting up highly styled, candid-ish bikini shoots of course! Mischa Barton put on her designer bikini best, got her hair did and brought along props like books and hats to the beach yesterday to act her way through a series of paparazzi shots, in an attempt to prove to the world that she can read (!) and pick her own wedgies (!).

We don’t know about you, but we rarely read at the beach in this position. Wind aside, we’d fear major sandburn on our knees. But boy, does Mischa ever look pensive!

Just to try and prove how totally candid these shots are, the photographers throw in a wedgie-picking shot for fun. And Mischa has plenty of it while dislodging her pricey Pucci bikini from her nether regions.

Adding further fuel to the staginess fire are Mischa’s accessories: a very clean straw hat and pounds of diamonds? We’re surprised these pictures didn’t come complete with fashion credits (and disappointed, because those are some very pretty jewels).
