The Mischa Barton “Gossip” you heard is true!
The former “OC” actress has been approached to join the cast of “Gossip Girl,” Access Hollywood has confirmed.
No word yet who Mischa would play on the CW dish-slinging drama, but TVGuide.com hints Mischa could be considered for the role of Georgina Sparks, a scheming diva who drags Serena’s skeletons out of her plaid skirt-filled closet.
A rep for Barton told Access the actress has yet to respond to “Gossip Girl” producers and it was unclear is she was even considering the offer.
“Gossip Girl” will mark the second Josh Schwartz-created show for Mischa, after the two previously worked together on “The OC.” Schwartz famously killed off Mischa’s character, Marissa, in an emotionally charged and explosive car crash in a third season cliffhanger, ending Mischa’s time in Newport Beach.
