Actress Mischa Barton, who famously played a law-breaking troubled rich girl on the flash-in-the-pan Fox hit The O.C., has come into some trouble of her own offscreen.

The 21-year-old star was arrested late Wednesday night/Thursday morning in Hollywood for allegedly driving under the influence, possession of illegal narcotics and driving without a valid license.

“Her arrest was completed without incident,” Deputy Hugo Macias of the L.A. County Sheriff Department tells OK!. “She was very cooperative.”

Mischa is currently slated to host the New Year’s Eve party at Cathouse in Las Vegas next week. No word yet on whether or not this arrest will put a halt to her hosting duties.

If every dog has its day there’s one particular pooch that can stop waiting for his lucky moment. The pup in question was on the receiving end of a smooch and a hug from The OC star Mischa Barton in New York this week.

Twenty-one-year-old Mischa was enjoying an alfresco lunch with pals when she spotted the animal taking a stroll with his owner - who was happy to oblige with the actress’ request for a cuddle with his pet.

Mischa - who has recently debuted a new brunette ‘do - is a big fan of dogs and has two of her own, Charlie and Ziggy. While Charlie - whom she adopted from an animal shelter - spends most of his time at her California home, Ziggy is getting accustomed to life in the limelight after becoming something of a star himself lately. He’s accompanied his mistress on the Russian film set of teen drama Finding TaTu, and even appeared with her in a photoshoot for a British newspaper magazine.

In the accompanying interview Mischa paid tribute to her four-legged friends. “The dogs are a huge part of my downtime,” she revealed. “Actually, it’s shocking how much you can become absorbed by them.”
