Mischa Barton - Barton Slams Hilton

MISCHA BARTON has launched a scathing attack on socialite PARIS HILTON accusing the hotel heiress of being insecure and publicity hungry.

Barton, who reportedly fell foul of Hilton's circle of friends when she began dating KIMBERLY STEWART'S ex-fiance CISCO ADLER, insists the heiress' insecurities are to blame for her cruel comments.

She says, "I met her one or two times and she's making out there's this big rivalry between us and there so isn't.

"She seems to hate everyone around her age who is more successful."

Barton also attacked Hilton's appearance at the Brit Awards last week's (begs13FEB06), saying, "I tuned into the Brits because I like to know what's going on in British music and I saw her and I was like, 'What?'

"She was coming out with all this ridiculous stuff, like, 'I love London because... whatever.' Please."
