MISCHA BARTON is laughing off reports she’s enjoying a lesbian fling with model IRINA LAZAREANU after the pair was photographed kissing on Monday (26Jan09).
Former The O.C. star Barton set internet gossips into a frenzy after photographs from her Paris birthday party surfaced - and showed the actress locking lips with the Romanian-born beauty.
But Barton has now taken to her blog to explain that her relationship with the catwalk stunner is strictly "platonic" - in a journal entry entitled "No One Else Kisses Their Friends?" She writes: "As I’m sure most of you have already seen, I was photographed at my 23rd birthday party engaging in what most of the gossip blogs refer to as a ‘girl on girl kiss’. Well I just wanted to take this moment to clear the air by saying that the kiss was purely platonic! We were joking around and it was taken out of context.
"The anonymous female I was photographed with is actually my close friend Irina. Irina works as a model in Paris and since meeting a few months ago we have been spending a lot of time together. We share a lot of the same interests and I really enjoy her company. I guess you can say she’s become my Paris partner in crime!" And the star hints she is still loved up with The Kooks frontman Luke Pritchard, adding: "No, I haven’t switched teams. In fact, I have someone else that is keeping me occupied at the moment."

R&B singer KELLY ROWLAND has denied reports her U.S. home is facing foreclosure - she is selling the property to relocate abroad.
Speculation was rife that the former Destiny’s Child singer was at risk of finding herself homeless after the Miami, Florida property she put on the market in 2007 failed to attract a buyer.
The star has slashed $500,000 (£350,000) off the $1.9 million (£1.3 million) price tag she originally paid for the residence in 2005.
But the star’s publicist is adamant she isn’t facing any financial woes.
The spokesperson says, "Reports that Kelly Rowland�s Miami home is in foreclosure are entirely false. Kelly has put her home up for sale because she is working and living in Europe.�

JESSICA SIMPSON can count on one person to appreciate her curvier figure - shapely socialite KIM KARDASHIAN thinks the singer looks "amazing" sporting a few extra pounds.
The reality TV star has jumped to Simpson’s defence after she was mocked for showing off her fuller figure at a recent gig.
The unwanted attention sparked an angry rant from the singer’s sister Ashlee, who branded the criticism of her sibling’s weight "embarrassing and belittling".
And socialite Kardashian is also stunned by the ridicule Simpson’s fuller figure has received - insisting she thinks the star looks better than ever.
She tells People.com, "Call me crazy, but when I saw the picture, I was like, ‘Oh my God, Jessica looks hot!’ "I love curves. Being super skinny just isn’t attractive to me. When I saw that picture, I knew everyone was going to say something. And I thought, ‘You know what? Leave Jessica alone!’ She’s fabulous, she’s a really sweet girl, and I admire her for putting up with it." "I get that she does look curvier, but to me, there’s nothing wrong with it."

LILY ALLEN has found the perfect way to keep her men in line - she writes songs about them if they treat her badly.
The Smile singer’s recent relationships have all ended on good terms, because she is known for publicly slamming ex-lovers through her lyrics.
Allen, whose past boyfriends include Chemical Brothers star Ed Simons and art dealer Jay Jopling, has penned a song for her new album, It’s Not Be, It’s You, criticising an ex’s sexual prowess.
And the star is convinced her reputation for writing scathing lyrics has had an effect on all her potential suitors.
She says, "Now guys are really nice when they’re breaking up with me because they don’t want to end up in a song. Five years ago, before I was famous, I’d go on a date and guys would never call me again. Now it’s different.
"None of my songs are fictional, they’re all real."

MARIAH CAREY’s husband NICK CANNON has landed a regular music gig - as the superstar’s video director.
The singer has roped in her lover to helm the promo for her new single My Love, with singer/songwriter The-Dream.

JENNIFER ANISTON has hit out at the media for endlessly reporting on her dating escapades - insisting gossips have taken the fun out of single life.
The actress’ on/off affair with singer John Mayer has been her most recent relationship headline grabber, but she is adamant that the press are often too quick to jump to conclusions about her lovelife.
Aniston laments to MTV News, "It’s not fun. You could end the date and shake hands with them and realise it doesn’t work, and all of a sudden you’re a new couple.
"I think it’s the same as high school or inter-office dating. It’s the same feeling. What we deal with is strange and surreal, but the emotions are the same as anyone." And though Aniston admits she’s grown tired of the speculation surrounding her marital status - the actress is certain she’s unlocked the key to a blissful partnership.
She adds, "I think I’ve found that relationships are only going to work out when you’re really yourself and you’re not posturing in any way. You’re just honest with who you are… There’s a difference between compromising something and compromising yourself."

THE X-FILES star GILLIAN ANDERSON has heaped praise on ordinary working mothers - because she would struggle to raise her children without full time help.
The actress has a 14-year-old daughter, Piper, from a previous relationship, and son, Oscar, two, with husband Mark Griffiths.
And she is thankful that her longrunning TV and film career means she can afford a nanny for her two kids - as she doesn’t know how she would juggle work and motherhood on her own.
She says, "One of the things I am most amazed at in life is women who raise their children without help. Some mothers are more built for it than others - higher levels of patience hormone - but it’s hard! "How do you clean the house and make the dinner and do the shopping?" And Anderson, who lives in London with her family, insists the British government should reward hardworking mothers for their strength.
She adds, "Every last one of you should be given a medal and free health insurance, and a government-subsidised housekeeper."

BARACK OBAMA’s inauguration will always hold very special memories for actress DAKOTA FANNING - it was exam day for her.
The teenager feared she’d miss the swearing in of the new President - because she was too busy sitting her final exams, but it became a day of hard work and celebration for the actress and her school pals.
She tells WENN, "Our school put the coverage on in the theatre for us, so we could watch it all in there. I was so happy." And the big day wasn’t lost on Fanning - she realised what a special moment it was while she was shooting and promoting period piece The Secret Life of Bees last year (08).
She adds, "We were dealing with so many civil rights in that movie. One of the key points of that movie is when Jennifer Hudson’s character gets beat up for wanting to register to vote, and now we have an African-American president.
"I’m so happy that I get to live in a world where that can happen. I grew up where interracial relationships are normal to me. I see that all the time in school and just walking down the street and I don’t think twice about it, so when I see someone like Barack Obama run, I don’t see him as a black man or a white man; I just see him as a man. We’re all just human beings.
"Anyone that is willing to be the President of our country, who will lead us and protect us is a very inspirational human being, especially him… I just love to listen to him."

DANIEL RADCLIFFE’s stunt double is in a serious condition in hospital after a flying sequence on the new HARRY POTTER movie went horribly wrong.
The crew is currently filming pre-production scenes for upcoming picture, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, the seventh film in the boy wizard series, at Leavesden Studios in Watford, England.
The unnamed 25-year-old stuntman, who doubles for Radcliffe, was rehearsing an ariel sequence on Wednesday (28Jan09) when he was sent plummeting to the ground following an explosion which was part of the stunt.
The man was immediately attended by paramedics and rushed to the nearby Watford General Hospital to be treated for a "significant back injury".
A source tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "The stunt double was badly hurt. The scene seems to have gone badly wrong. The guy was rigged up to a harness and was flying through the air. It is thought he may have been caught in the explosion and hit the ground very hard. He told crew members who went to help him that he couldn’t feel anything from the waist down. Everyone is hoping he makes a good recovery. It has come as a terrible shock." A statement from studio executives adds, "We can confirm a member of the Harry Potter production was injured in an accident. We are awaiting further news. Out of respect for the family we are unable to comment any further."

Hollywood actress SCARLETT JOHANSSON is the first person her friends turn to when they need relationship advice - because the star is always willing to be honest about their problems.
The 24-year-old, who married actor Ryan Reynolds last year (08), is always on call for her pals and is happy to serve up her own form of counselling when it comes to men.
She says, "My friends and I talk about relationships and I probably over-analyse everything. But I usually come back to the same thing: ‘If this person is making you crazy or making you doubt yourself, then get rid of him.’ I always sort of come back to that.
"Whether or not my girlfriends stay with the guy at the time, they usually end up parting ways in the end.
"It sounds like I’m breaking up people all over the place." And Johansson has some words of advice for women who have just broken up with their partners.
She adds, "For a while you feel beaten down - you had to put a lot into it (the relationship) and didn’t get something out of it.
"Then you realise, ‘I did get something out of it. I learned something about myself, and I feel like a survivor."
