@lightofshadows, The main character of this story is Mischa Barton, a real-life actress. She played Marissa Cooper in the TV show, The O.C.

@lightofshadows, assuming you're still reading "Broken Dolls" I have an assignment for you: Pretend you're a stand-up comedian like Andrew Dice Clay. Now, what kind of crude, insensitive jokes would you make about the plight of the actresses in my novel? Exactly WHAT would you say?

Well, Not sure, really bad with jokes, only bad intentional puns. And not really sure for this actress either. Sorry, i'm the wrong person for jokes, even crude.

Is there a reason for it, for the story or something?

@lightofshadows, yes, it's for the story. I want to incorporate it into (maybe) some dialogue. Comedians like Jay Leno, et. al. have been known to tell insensitive and tasteless jokes about actors or actresses in trouble. Take Jay Leno. Quote: "The cast of 'Diff'rent Stokes' will have their cast reunion on 'America's Most Wanted.'" Unquote. He was referring to Dana Plato getting arrested for holding up a Las Vegas video store back in the '90s.

@Hybrid Kitten, pretend you're David Letterman or Andrew Dice Clay. What kind of smartass joke would you make about the plight of the four real-life actresses in my story? Would you make fun of their arrest? What smartass joke would you tell about Mischa Barton?

p.s. it's kinda important to me. Please give me a joke without fail.

@Hybrid Kitten, how far have you read, h.k?

P.S.: A guy like David letterman would make hurtful jokes about MB's career, drug use, or the trial? Right?

@paul robison, Haven't started yet I forgot and that depends on the sort of joke or statement he wishes to make and what he has seen or what the general public thought is

@Hybrid Kitten, David Letterman would likely make a sarcastic and cruel statement about the trial of Mischa Barton and her friends. Remember, they are being arrested for the assassination of the president of France, Cesar Diderot.

Would it be something on the order of: "You're a lousy shot, Mischa."?

(you said your charcter was an actress right?)

@Hybrid Kitten, Its more of an insult than a joke

@Hybrid Kitten, Good job, h.k.! My character is a real-life actress. And that's exactly what David Letterman would put it! Thank you! I'll use this for a later revision of my story. Carry on!
