Actress Mischa Barton is to be charged with drunk driving and possession of marijuana following her December 27 arrest in West Hollywood. The Los Angeles District Attorney announced the news on Tuesday. Barton was pulled over by traffic cops after they reportedly spotted the vehicle she was driving "straddling two lanes of traffic." The police report also suggests the actress failed to signal when making a turn. Police determined the former The OC star was driving without a valid license and under the influence of alcohol. She was released on bail and has since apologized for her actions. She stated she was wrong to attempt to drive home after partying with pals. The 21-year-old has confessed she didn't have a driving license because she rarely gets behind the wheel. She said, "I'm really disappointed in myself. I'm not perfect and I don't intend to do anything this stupid again."

This year's 80th Annual Academy Awards ceremony has been snubbed by millions of viewers - with figures showing it attracted the lowest TV audience since 1974. The three-hour broadcast on ABC only pulled in an average of 32 million viewers - one million less than in 2003, which was aired just one day after the U.S. invaded Iraq. Last year's ceremony was watched by an average of 41 million people, but Sunday's viewing figures have gone down as the worst since the ratings system first began in 1974. The most-watched Oscars broadcast was in 1998 when 55 million Americans tuned in to witness box office blockbuster Titanic scoop 11 awards. ABC says in a statement that this year's ratings did not account for an increasing number of people watching the ceremony on personal video recorders.

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld insists he was "just joking" when he called chef Missy Chase Lapine a "wacko" for launching a plagiarism lawsuit against him and his wife. Lapine is suing the couple, claiming Jessica Seinfeld's best-selling cookbook Deceptively Delicious "brazenly plagiarized" her own book The Sneaky Chef. Both books describe how to hide healthy ingredients in children's foods. And after hearing of the legal action, Seinfeld appeared on the Late Show With David Letterman and made jokes about the "vegetable plagiarism" facing the pair. But Seinfeld has now apologized for his comments and appealed to a judge to dismiss the lawsuit, according to the New York Daily News. In papers filed at a court in New York, lawyers for the couple state: "Jerry Seinfeld made overstatements of opinion for comic effect. This action gives new meaning to the terms objectionably unreasonable and publicity stunt." The statement also insists there is nothing "unique and innovative" about the ideas in Lapine's book.
