Horton Heat, Surviving Holidays, Screwball Comedy [To Do]
· Music Round-Up: Adema, Crowned by Fire, and White Wizzard at are Safari Sam’s,Mina Mauldin and Irene Carranza at Genghis Cohen, and Reverend Horton Heat is at the Wiltern.
· If you made it through the holidays alive (are they over already?), you might enjoy Lesley Wolff’s I Made It Through the Holidays Alive Show, featuring comedy by Stephanie Escajeda, Pedro Hernandez, Ari Shaffir, Jessie Schneiderman, Tig Notaro, and Matt Braunger. At The Improv.
· In these trying times, isn’t the American Cinematheque’s Screwball Comedies series at the Aero Theatre just what we all need? Tonight’s double feature screens 1937’s Easy Living, and 1939’s Midnight, “a Cinderella story starring Claudette Colbert as an American showgirl who transforms into hired bait for John Barrymore’s wife’s lover.” Someone should snap this up for a remake starring Mo’nique.
*Alas, a commenter reminds us it’s being retooled into Little Miss Hired-Bait-shine for Reese Witherspoon. We still think this story has Mo’nique written all over it.
Welcome To The DUI, Mischa Barton [It’s DUI Christmas!]
We knew the end of the year would net a far bigger DUI fish than Boy Meets World’s Topanga, and Swervy Claus has come through once again, crashing his sleigh into the side of Defamer HQ-2 with a newly booked Mischa Barton to put under our twinkling Christmas stump. True to their names, the girls at Hollyscoop were first on the scene:
Sources tell Hollyscoop EXCLUSIVELY that actress Mischa Barton was arrested in the wee hours this morning! She was handcuffed and arrested at 2:46AM last night and booked at 3:10AM.
Mischa was arrested on the corner of La Cienega and Santa Monica Blvd in Los Angeles late last night in her white Range Rover for Driving Under the Influence and driving without a license.
Her bail amount is set at $10,000.
TMZ also reports that the thespian who so vividly brought Marissa Cooper’s every pool-furniture-thrashing to life on The O.C. is still in custody, that the Sheriff’s Department’s “Inmate Information Center” mistakenly input her name as “Mischa Burton,” and that she was charged with possession of narcotics–ominous italics ours. (A white Christmas?) We promise to update you with a mugshot just as soon as one is made available, and that shouldn’t be long, but may we suggest using the few minutes until then for a booking-shot guessing game? Half-smile? One eye closed? Nolte hair? Place your bets.

Defamer’s Top Ten Videos Of 2007 [Defamer 2007 Year In Review]
While we’ve been slaving over a year’s worth of Defamer hot links, plucking only the juiciest for our Year in Review series, Defamer videographer Molly McAleer has been hard at work too, cobbling together this countdown of Defamer’s Top 10 Videos of 2007, with interstitials set to a delightful hip-hop soundtrack.
We cannot express enough just how much joy we derived from reliving the greatest recorded moments of the year; some of them we’ve now seen dozens, even hundreds of times, and yet they still offer us new discoveries–such as Barbara Walters observing, “Well, you can do both,” upon it being suggested to her that it’s impossible to simultaneously feed one’s children, and know that the Earth is in fact not flat. Oop! We’ve already said too much. From us to you, enjoy.
