Mischa Barton Refuses To Introduce Jessica Simpson At ‘Divas’

Us Weekly reports ‘The O.C.’ star Mischa Barton was unwilling to share the stage with Jessica Simpson at the VH1 ‘Divas’ concert in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand on April 18th. Barton refused to introduce Simpson, instead wanting to introduce what she probably felt was a more deserving diva. “Mischa was definitely insulted and acted like she was too good for Jessica,” a source said. “She wanted to introduce Patti LaBelle or not participate at all.” Another source sneered, “It’s really ridiculous that Mischa would even think that she’s a big enough star to introduce someone like Patti. After all, Jessica and Mischa are technically peers – they have the exact same fan base.”
