Welcome to your DUI, bitch! The O.C. sweetheart, Mischa Barton, has officially received her starlet status, as she has been arrested on suspicion of DUI, possession of narcotics and driving on a suspended license, according to TMZ.com. Mischa was reportedly pulled over early this morning around 2:45 AM and is currently still in custody. She is being held on $10,000 bail.

Isn't this about the time when Ryan Atwood would grab Seth and Summer and they would all break Marisa out of jail and head to Tijuana? Am I confusing television with reality again? Oh, wait -- since the writer's strike began television is reality.

UPDATE: Mischa has posted her own bail and has been released. According to the L.A. County Sheriff Dept., the actress was pulled over after "her vehicle was seen straddling two lanes of traffic and she failed to signal when making a turn." "During Ms. Barton's detention, it was determined that she was an unlicensed driver and was driving while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage," according to police. "Ms. Barton was arrested and transported to West Hollywood Sheriff's station where the booking process was completed without incident." The investigation is ongoing.
