Mischa Barton is single again. The Kooks singer Luke Pritchard ended his one month-plus relationship with the actress after she got all clingy and shit.
A source said: "She was really smitten. They'd been on nights out in London and really got on. But when she suggested he visit Paris he got cold feet."
"He said he didn't think they had a future and it was better they went their separate ways. Mischa was heartbroken."

Julianne Moore recently appeared on The View to chat about her participation in a new Valentine's Day initiative with Save the Children - an organization that provides tools and support to over 35,000 poverty-stricken children.
"In a land of such wealth and prosperity, it is shocking to see so many children and their families struggling to get by. In fact, in rural America, one in five children lives in poverty," said Moore.
Here's how it works: simply visit SaveTheChildren.org and make a donation between Friday, Feb. 1st and Thursday, Feb. 14th. From there you'll be able to print and email custom Valentine's Day cards to friends and snuggle buddies alike, and get the satisfaction of also helping a great organization.
Illustrators who created cards for the Save the Children Valentine's Day campaign include Ian Falconer (the "Olivia the Pig" series), Kevin Henkes ("Lily's Purple Plastic Purse"), Mo Willems ("Leonardo the Terrible Monster"), Brian Selznick ("The Invention of Hugo Cabret"), Marla Frazee ("A Couple of Boys Have Their Best Week Ever"), Rosemary Wells ("Max and Ruby," "Noisy Nora") and LeUyen Pham ("Freckleface Strawberry" by Julianne Moore).

Miley Cyrus recently announced on her website that she ditched the Porsche in favor of a new black Prius. "I didn't like it 'cause it was bad for the environment, and it was too big," she says in a new video. "My dad surprised me last night with a black Prius."
She says she prefers it over the SUV because it's "good for the environment, and it's adorable!"
