Well, well now … what have we here … could it be that Mischa Barton, newly separated from her most recent boyfriend Taylor Locke, has got an eye on hookin’ up with fellow American actor Josh Hartnett who she just so happened to run into at Bungalow 8 in London last night? Of course, just because the pair were photographed in relative proximity doesn’t mean necessarily that the couple have begun philandering .. but … well … mebbe:

Some girls have all the luck, including it seems actress Mischa Barton. Not content to have a lifestyle and career most people would kill for, she also had the pleasure of hooking up with gorgeous actor Josh Hartnett after they bumped into one another at trendy club Bungalow 8 last night. Mischa, who recently split from musician boyfriend Taylor Locke is clearly keen to put the past behind her. The OC star spent a good hour writhing in front of Josh at the bar last night, and must have made an impression as they both headed back to his hotel at the end of the night. Not to suggest that anything happened between the extremely good-looking and single pair – and Mischa did trundle back to her own hotel an hour later. The actress, 22, looked desperate to impress Josh at the Temperley afterparty at Bungalow 8 when she arrived at 11pm. Hartnett, whose screen credits include Pearl Harbor, is in London to play Charlie Babbitt in the Apollo Theatre’s production of Rain Man. Josh, 30, was sitting with Kings Of Leon drummer Nathan Followill and seemed more interested in his conversation than the strutting beauty. A source said: “Josh looked pretty bored and was totally ignoring Mischa. She persisted though, and kept getting closer and closer to their table while dancing provocatively. Lots of girls were trying to get near their table, where the two guys were drinking champagne and vodka cocktails. Mischa had a lot to contend with, but didn’t give up.” Later, in the toilets, Nathan was overheard warning Josh off Mischa. The source added: “Nathan told him that he thought she talks too much” … Josh mustn’t have listened to his pal’s opinion, as Mischa got the breakthrough she’d been waiting for and started chatting with Josh. Her charms seemed to work, as both left with a group of friends to head back to the nearby Soho Hotel at 1.30am. With his pick of the ladies, Josh certainly seems like a hard guy to please.

Oh Lord … this has got bad idea written all over it. John Hartnett seems like a pretty smart guy, who’s dated his fair share of beauties … er, uncrazy beauties. If he’s smart, he’ll take a pass on dating Mischa … just some friendly advice :)
