Mischa Barton moves to Paris

Apparently the best way to handle unflattering, cellulite-baring photos of yourself is to move to Paris. At least that seems to be Mischa Barton's strategy. And hey, if you've got the money, you might as well. Even though French women are famous for not getting fat (at least a bunch of diet books are based on that premise) - oh and I'm not calling Mischa fat, just pointing out the irony - Barton seems to have decided that chilling in a city where she (presumably) doesn't speak the language is the best route for now. And she has some really, really deep thoughts on it.

Mischa Barton will always have Paris - the city, not the Hilton. The former O.C. star has set up house in the City of Light, making it easier than ever to check out the glitz and glamour at the Cannes Film Festival.

'I'm living in Paris right now so I thought I would come down for a few days,' the British-born actress told PEOPLE at the Chopard and Alberta Ferretti Opening Gala on Wednesday night. (She has two movies at the festival, including You and I.)

So why Paris? 'No reason,' the 22-year-old said, shrugging her shoulders, 'I've just always wanted to move there. I'm enjoying some time off.'

Since arriving in the south of France on Tuesday, Barton said she'd been doing some press. But mostly she's just enjoying the Riviera vibe. 'I've been coming here since I was 12, so I know the deal,' she said. 'It's always good fun.'

Maybe it's the way she desperately courts the paparazzi, but they still don't generally pay her any attention. Or the way she freaked out about the cellulit...
