Mischa Barton called in to Ryan Seacrest's morning show this morning (man, that dude is like the king of all media) and spoke up about her recent DUI arrest.

"Obviously I'm 100 percent responsible for my actions in this case," The O.C. actress said this morning. "I'm really disappointed in myself. I don't know what to say about it, except that I'm not perfect, and I just don't ever intend to do something this stupid again."

That's all fine and good, people make mistakes, and I am blessed with the power of forgiveness, but Mischa's excuse for driving without a valid license is lame with a capital "L".

"I didn't have a license. I grew up in New York, the land of people who don't have to drive," she said. "It's always been the toughest thing about living in L.A. for me. I usually try not to get behind the wheel."

How long has she been in L.A.? That's a really bad reason. Also, I grew up in New York, too, and almost everyone I know got their driver's license at 17. Sounds like Mischa is taking only a little bit of responsibility. She's an adult, if she's going to drive she should get a license, unless, of course, she's one of the privileged ones who's exempt from law, then she should try flying a plane, too. Why not, right?

Paris Hilton gets burned again!

Lost actress Michelle Rodriguez, who was supposed to serve six months in jail, has been released, after serving only 17 of her 180 days. That's exactly five days less than Paris, in case you've lost count.

The actress was serving her sentence in Paris's former home, the Lynwood facility, for violating probation stemming from a DUI arrest. Michelle lucked out in a major way, considering the judge in her case originally forbade an early release, but due to overcrowding -- and her reported good behavior -- she is off the hook.

I would have given a whole lot to be a fly on the wall when Paris found out this news...
