Mischa Barton is featured on the cover of Nylon magazine's August issue for reasons unbeknownst to us. The actress is no longer relevant in any way, shape or form, and to top it all off, she's delusional. Regarding her DUI arrest in December of last year, Mischa says that was a "low point" in her life: "I never, ever would have thought I would be arrested. I was disappointed because it associated me with a group of girls that I would rather not be associated with."
If you didn't want to be associated with that certain group of girls (we're assuming she means Nicole and Lindsay), then why not just refrain from that behavior in the first place? Oh, right, that's too easy.

Without Barack Obama, the tabloids basically have nothing to go on these days. Britney Spears is cleaning up her act. Nicole Richie sometimes parties late, but mostly stays hidden with her mommyhood. And there’s the scraps: Mary-Kate Olsen heading to rehab? Oooh, breaking! Which is why, just sometimes, the tabloids have to rely on their own reporters to drum up scandal.
Like the way Us Weekly did with Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo.
Duck, patriots!
Just a precaution, as many 'mericans were out in herds this weekend to celebrate their nation's glorious, important and hard-earned autonomy the best way they know how: with violence! Drunken, brutal violence!
TMZ has not one but two stories up today about a couple different acts of aggression revelers in the western part of the country faced this holiday weekend. In one instance, new mother Nicole Richie had to be escorted off the Hard Rock Hotel premises in Las Vegas after getting into an altercation with someone in the valet line. And in Los Angeles, two men were shot multiple times in front of a Hollywood club. USA! USA! USA!
After the jump, TMZ's unflinching and unnecessary image of the back of a shooting victim. (Don't worry, it's not bloody and the guy's alive.)

Barack Obama has picked up yet another endorsement from Young Hollywood. This time Joel Madden's getting on the bandwagon, according to Us magazine. And, as has become the unfortunate norm when famous people talk about politics, the fake punk rocker made sure to describe his candidate in the vaguest way possible: "He is a good man, he is cool … He is just a great person overall."
Madden said his girlfriend, skinny minny Nicole Richie, also supports Obama. Presumably because she too finds him to be a cool dude. Radical!
Now that Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are dating the Madden brothers, the natural next step is to have a double wedding for both couples. Nevermind the fact that Paris and Benji have only been together a little over a month compared to Nicole and Joel's relationship of a year and a half (complete with child) — these two romances are both ready to see the altar.
And wouldn't you know it, the former Simply Life ladies are planning the wedding in an effort to "make millions" from all the publicity. Because if anyone is hurting for money, its those two.

We’re hearing People’s J. Lo twins issue moved between two and three million copies at the newsstand, according to multiple scan data sources. (Distributor AMI says 3m; supermarket data say 2m.)
But how does that compare to Nicole and Christina's issues?
IN PARIS' FOOTSTEPS "As if being a brand new mom wasn’t enough, Nicole Richie is adding jewelry designer to her resume! The star tells People, 'It’s all costume jewelry.' … We can look forward to her infant and children’s wear lines coming out later this year as well — we even hear whispers of a fragrance from Richie in the not-too-distant future."
Jennifer Lopez and her twins grace the cover of tomorrow's People magazine, for all the fans who have been dying to catch a glimpse of the bald little wonders.
After Christina and Nicole's spreads, we still can't find the urge to care. All those celebrity babies start to look the same after a while.
Broadway has officially lost it. After offering roles in Chicago to Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton, it only makes sense that Kevin Federline would be invited to join the cast of Legally Blonde in September.
The former backup dancer and aspiring hip-hop artist … will test his song-and-dance chops in a trio of roles — including the UPS guy who inspires the 'bend and snap.'
'This is his chance to show the world what he can do,' says a pal.
And now that he has physical custody, sons Sean, 2, and Jayden, 18 months, might join him in the Big Apple. 'This is his dream and he wants to bring the kids,” says the insider. “Jamie and Lynne [Spears] promised to help him make it work.'
The last things these kids need is to be on the other side of the country from their mother. Actually … that might not be such a bad idea. Let's just hope he doesn't attempt to rap.

In an effort to completely morph into BFF Nicole Richie, Paris Hilton is contemplating starring in the musical Chicago.
Richie is already being touted for a stint on the New York stage, and has reportedly been offered a role in the Bob Fosse-created show. Now producers want to add her Simple Life co-star and best pal Paris to the line-up. A source tells OK! magazine, 'The producers think they will sell double the amount of tickets.'
Why Broadway wants to attract the type of people who would pay to see Paris in action is beyond us. We can only hope they will be handing out surgical masks along with the programs.

DUELING INFANTS "Nicole Richie didn’t just beat rival Christina Aguilera to the delivery room…it appears Richie will beat Aguilera on the newsstand as well. Both new moms each had their own cover of People magazine, and according to some early estimates, the issue featuring Richie is on target to sell more than 1.8 million copies, according to an industry source, whereas Aguilera's has sold far less. (People magazine could not confirm sales numbers; a spokesperson said its too soon to know how many copies were sold.)"

Paris Hilton is serious about this new reality show of hers, and we can't decide if that's sad or hilarious. In Touch got all excited about scoring an exclusive interview with her, but they could have had a conversation with a 12-year-old and gotten the same type of responses:
I’m really excited about this concept — I’m going to meet a lot of great girlfriends. I never got to go to college and this will be my chance to be in a sorority and have that experience. It’ll be great to meet a girl who’s not too Hollywood, who I can get along with and hang out with when the show is done.
Of course, my real best friend will always be Nicole [Richie]. She’s like my sister — but now she’s busy with her daughter, Harlow.
Yikes. Baby Harlow better watch her back.
