Mischa Barton Drove While On Pot, Pills and Booze

Add The O.C.'s Marissa Cooper Mischa Barton to the list of celebrities who can afford to take a taxi and/or limo but instead choose to drive while under the influence, in Mischa's case booze, pot and pills.

Kelly Rowan Engaged to Billionaire

The O.C.'s Kiki Cohen, a/k/a Kelly Rowan, is engaged to marry a Canadian billionaire, David Thomson. Forbes ranks Thomson as the world's 10th richest person, worth $22 billion through an inheritance. No word on where that ranks next to the fortune of the late Kaleb Nichol, Kiki's father.

Mischa Barton: Too Much Booze and Drugs

MTV in The O.C.?

MTV is in talks with Newport Beach to bring an MTV reality tv show to Orange County. It would involve "Laguna Beach" cast members venturing to Newport Beach.

The OC Series Finale and Spinoff

How great was the O.C. Series Finale? It was so bittersweet. I laughed. I cried and I prayed for a miracle that there will be some sort of spinoff. They certainly left it so that it will be easy to do that. I say it a lot but thank goodness for DVR. I had to rewind so that I could see the final scenes again. I boohooed when they showed Summer and Seth getting married. (Adam was looking pretty hot, might I add). I cried when they showed Julie getting her college degree AND when they showed Frank and Bullet and Caitlin in the audience. But I thought the end scene with Ryan was a little forced. He doesn't dress up well at all. It just looked awkward and staged.

I will keep my fingers crossed that a spinoff will be spinning our way, preferably with either Seth and Summer or Caitlin, The Bullet and Julie. or maybe even Ryan and Taylor but I don't think they have enough staying power for their own show.

The O.C. Finale

Unfortunately, The O.C. came to an end last night. Lots of O.C. coverage here, here, here, here, here and here.

The O.C. Ends With a Quake

Last week on The O.C., Julie Cooper Nichol ended up rejecting Bullit's proposal to be with Chino's dad, Frank Atwood, instead. Kiki seemed to be pining for Jimmie Cooper but got over that in the end. Seth and Summer and Chino and Taylor continue in their relationships. Coming up on future episodes -- an earthquake.

Whining About Economic Segregation on The O.C.

Whining about people living "class-bound lives in class-bound places" as it relates to The O.C. Seriously, it's just a TV show.

Hell's Kitchen to Replace The O.C.

The fools at Fox who cancelled The O.C. are replacing it on Thursdays with Hell's Kitchen. There's no way Hell's Kitchen will have better ratings than The O.C.

Fox Pulls the Plug on The O.C.

I am sad to report that the idiots who run the Fox network have pulled the plug on one of the best shows on tv, The O.C. The show was just starting to recover momentum after last year's disappointing season, which focused too much on not-the-sharpest-knife-in-the-drawer Marissa Cooper. Newsflash to the empty suits in management at Fox - if you want to save the show, all you have to do is put it on another night. Trying to force it on Thursday night against some stiff competition like The Office, Scrubs and Grey's Anatomy is suicide. Move it to another night in place of one of your mindless shows, and it will do fine in the ratings. The irony is that Mischa Barton is probably rejoicing, thinking that the show couldn't survive without her, when the truth is the story line last year that focused so heavily on her is what drove the audience away.

The O.C. is on the Upswing Thanks to Taylor

Fox's decision to air The O.C. in its current Thursday night time slot is a poor one, but it is still managing to attract more interest, I assume because viewers prefer Taylor over Marissa.

The O.C. - Ryan and Taylor Hook Up

The O.C. begins with Ryan dreaming about Taylor in a cheesy way. Seth flies to Rhode Island to see Summer, but she has been kicked out of Brown and flies back to O.C. at the same time. Seth decides to put a little smack down on Che, "Ryan style," while he's there but can't find him. Che shows up at Summer's dad's house (he has moved to Seattle and has presumably been written off the show to save money) and pleads for Summer's for selling her out to the Dean at Brown. She declines, so he handcuffs himself to her.

Kiki tries to be Ryan's substitute Seth, talking about Ryan and Taylor. Ryan has some more dreams about Taylor dancing as if she were in a cheesy 80s MTV video. Ryan asks Taylor out on a date but chickens out of kissing her, saying he can't do this. In response, she hires a gay guy to try to make Ryan jealous.

Kaitlin goes to a water polo game and tells everyone she's throwing a party on the same night the school's popular girl is hosting a party. Kaitlin's party turns out to be the place to be. Kaitlin takes the popular girl's boyfriend into the closet for a makeout session, but he turns out to be gay. Later, Ryan finds him in bed with the popular girl's boyfriend at the party. Ryan and Taylor make out in the closet.

Che's chauffeur comes to pick him up. He is a limousine liberal.

Kiki and Julie Cooper Nichol's dating service is turned into a gigolo service.

Orange County Worried that The O.C. Will Go Off the Air

Orange County, California is worried that The O.C. will go off the air. It doesn't want to suffer the same fate that Beverly Hills did when the Peach Pit After Dark closed.

Save The O.C.

Seems unnecessary, but Fox has a "Save The O.C." page on its website.

Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody Split Up

Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody, i.e., Seth Cohen and Summer Roberts on The O.C., have split up.

The O.C.: Ryan and Taylor?

On The O.C., Ryan has been having trouble sleeping. The next morning, Taylor shows up at the Cohen house wearing a black dress to thank Chino for helping her escape her marriage to Frenchie. She returns to the main house and tells Sandy, Kirsten and Seth that Ryan is funny, and they seem shocked. Julie Cooper Nichol wakes up at Dr. Roberts' house with her personal trainer, who tries to sneak out of the house but runs into Kaitlin. Taylor visits Seth at the comic book shop and finds out about Ryan's insomnia. Kaitlin and Julie fancy the same young tennis instructor. At Brown, Summer and loser friend Che wear janitor outfits to break into the science lab and free the animals. Taylor calls Ryan in the middle of the night and arranges a meeting early the next morning at the diner. There, she says his insomnia is related to Volchok. Kiki's dating service is having some financial problems, so of course Sandy has a golf game already planned with someone who may be able to help. The part of the rich guy is played by the same guy who had a similar role on Will & Grace. Long story short, he invests in the dating business. Che sells out Summer with the administration for freeing the bunnies. In the end, Taylor asks Ryan for one kiss, kisses him and leaves. After she leaves, Chino says "whoa" and is then able to fall asleep.
