BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Mischa Barton has pleaded no contest to drunken driving for a December arrest in West Hollywood. The former star of TV's "The O.C." wasn't present in a Beverly Hills courtroom Thursday as her lawyer entered no-contest pleas on her behalf to misdemeanor driving under the influence and driving without a license.
