A series of unflattering photos of actress Mischa Barton are flying around the Internet.
Some Moms welcome the image of a 22-year-old with more cellulite than they have. But others think this is another example of people holding women to unrealistic standards. Last week, the star told OK! magazine, "I like having (my curves). My boyfriend loves them! So whatever works."
But, her rep is singing a different tune. She told the NY Daily News, "Those photos are doctored... I'm not saying she's perfect, nobody is. But they've given a 22-year-old woman the legs and bottom of an 80-year-old.

The photos certainly sparked some buzz around the momlogic office. Here's what some Moms had to say...
| If I were in the spotlight, I'd either make sure I had no cellulite, or never wear a bikini. No one chooses acting for a career and says, "I hope I never get noticed or photographed." This scrutiny comes with the territory AND the paycheck. - Annie, mother of 1 | |
| I must admit these pics make me feel better about my own cellulite. Stars have cellulite, too! - Julie, mother of 2 | |
| Looking at her legs makes me think to myself...hmm, next time I'm at the market I think I'll switch from cottage cheese to yogurt. - Andrea, mother of 1 | |

Maybe I'm in denial, but I really can't believe a 22-year-old could have that much cellulite. Those photos must have been doctored! - Diana, mother of 1 |
| I can't imagine what it would be like to be so relentlessly scrutinized by the media. But I have to admit that seeing these photos made me secretly feel better about myself. - Jill, Mother of 2 |

Holy smokes!I can’t believe this. Sure, I’m all for not having ridiculous expectations for our girls. However, I can’t help but to think that she is unhealthy. Bad diet and lack of exercise, maybe? She’s only 22.
Poor girl has her butt all over the internet.
agree
i think the photographer (and any photographer who does this)is pathetic for showing someone in a manner like this…given he obviously manipulated the pics…plus who cares, even if she did look like this, she is a human!
agree
I don’t even know what to think. If it’s real, sucks for her. But its probably not. Don’t they have procedures to fix that. If I had the money…….
agree
I’m with CSI:Cellulite Star Investigation Miami and we concur with the preliminary results, Mischa is 24% trans fat.
agree
I don’t care how skinny you are or how little body fat you might have, anyone, anyone! can get the little waffle-butt pattern from sitting on a chair. I think what looks like cellulite is actually the pattern of her deck chair imprinted on her thigh. I’m sure she’s got some cellulite-who doesn’t. But unless she’s recently lost a whole lot of weight, there’s no way her skin is that flabby. I say it’s just a bad case of the the waffle-butts.

I would still hit it!
