Mischa Barton has struggled to get her career back on track in recent years but the actress seems more determined than ever to turn her fortunes around and has thrown herself into a gritty new role.

The 24-year-old guest stars as a pregnant prostitute in hit US cop show Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

In the dramatic episode, which was screened in the US this week, her character Sunshine was attacked by a serial killer, kicked out of her home and gave birth four months premature.

Courteney Cox plays a man-hungry divorcee on the prowl in “Cougar Town,” but off-screen, the actress is a doting wife and mother who may be expanding her brood.

Cox, 45, underwent in-vitro fertilization for her first pregnancy at age 39.

“I don’t know. I mean, it takes a lot for us to do it, so maybe adoption,” Arquette, 38, said on “The Bonnie Hunt Show.” “Listen, I like practicing as much as possible! But it’s hard … I’m exhausted!”

Last year, the National Enquirer reported that the couple was planning to adopt a child after Cox “reached a point where she feels it’s hopeless to keep trying to get pregnant.”

“I posted a picture on there the other day. She took my picture and I said just write ‘Hi from Miley.’ I stood by a thing of hay and said ‘Hey!’ and that was it,” she explained.

While Lindsay Lohan is busy attending fashion shows in Paris today, her lawyers have filed a lawsuit against financial company E*Trade, saying the “milkaholic” baby named Lindsay in its latest commercial was modeled after her, reports the New York Post.

She’s seeking $100 million in damages.

Lohan’s lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, said the actress has the same single-name recognition as Oprah or Madonna, and wants an injunction to force the spot off the air.  Chris Brown, a spokesman for Grey Group, which produced the spot, told the Post it’s “just used a popular baby name that happened to be the name of someone on the account team.”

Lindsay Lohan has enraged people at Dior after she failed to turn up on time at the fashion label’s show at Paris Fashion Week. The “Mean Girls” actress was denied access to the catwalk show because she arrived after it started on Friday.

According to JohnnyIkon.com, Dior’s PR firm said that Lohan was sent backstage to meet designer John Galliano instead of taking a seat on the front row as originally planned.

A source added that the entire company was clearly not pleased with the singer/actress.

The insider said, “Yes, of course everybody was furious. She wasn’t just late, but she’d got them to hold the show, saying she was just a few minutes away. In the end, it got so late that people were leaving for their next destination. It wouldn’t have annoyed everybody so much if she hadn’t called demanding an outfit before.”

“You know, Dior did Lindsay a favor. She’s only in Paris to promote her own line, which isn’t putting a show on. Being photographed on the Dior front row could give her the attention that she needs, I don’t know what happened. She did not offer an excuse.”

Other reports said Lohan was denied total entrance from the show. She was seen walking back to her hotel after being refused entrance to Galliano’s Fall-Winter 2010-11 for Dior.

The Armani underwear spokeswoman has been downplaying her sexuality. In her most recent interviews, she’s expressed her desire to have children and lamented that she doesn’t look “classy” in lingerie.

She explains, “My biggest regret is that I’ve assisted the media in making me into a cartoon character. I don’t regret what has happened to me, but I regret the way I have dealt with it.”
