Mischa Barton takes it off on the May cover of UK Cosmopolitan.

"Surely there are more important issues than if someone has cellulite?" says the actress -- who faced criticism after photos surfaced last year showing that she'd gained a few pounds.

"And I don't understand the point of people looking for bad things," Barton, 23, goes on. "Why bother? I know it's human nature to want to pick on other people, but I find it a little shallow."

Barton tells the magazine she went from a size 12 to a size 6 or 8 after breaking up with Rooney guitarist Taylor Locke last September.

"The only way to be happy and be a more enjoyable person to be around is to embrace what you've got," she says. "Everyone has issues about their body, but I feel confident now. I'm healthy and happy."

But that doesn't mean Barton -- who was recently cast in the CW show A Beautiful Life -- is without flaws.

"I think people see celebs as having these perfect lives," she says. "But that's not true."

"Instead, what counts is that the people in your life your family and friends think you're a nice person," she continues.

    What a CRAPPY post! It needs to mention she's talking about UK sizes. She is now a size 2 or 4 in U.S. sizes. She used to be a size 8.

    hold on!!! when they say size 12 it doesn't mean American size 12. Actually she used to be UK size 12, which is American size 8. She is now UK size 6 which is American size 2. so she dropped from an American size 8 to size 2 which is UK size 12 to a size 6......therefore she's soon to be size zero.

    so she can't find a job "acting", suprised?? think not. maybe if these has-beens would get the clue and get a real job, they wouldn't have to prostitute themselves in a magazine layout. so sad, but i guess it pays well, so why not.

    Why does Miss Barton has to take her cloth off. What does she has to proved to the audience? Why do most American entertainer have to take their cloth off.Don"t they have any decency.I think most americans are willing to sell their body and soul to have money and fame.

  • Who gives a toss what these "celebs" say or do. There's something missing in your own disconnected lives which they fulfil? Is that what it's about?...needing what you think, for some reason are "heros" to give your life a lift? Why not adulate someone worthwhile like a conscientious factory worker, or a good nurse. By the way what counts is b
