How Being Fired From Y&R Helped Twilight Hunk Cam Gigandet's Career



Twilight star Cam Gigandet revealed in the December issue of Men's Health, on newsstands now, how being fired from the role of Daniel Romalotti on The Young and the Restless actually helped boost his confidence about his career.

So much relies on your confidence. To be let go from a soap opera is the most embarassing confidence basher in the world. It's like, 'Oh, if I'm not good enough for that, I'm not good enough for anyting.' So that was tough, but you learn that one of that stuff matters. You keep pushing forward. "

Looks like everyone benefited from Gigandet's firing. He was dismal as Daniel, couldn't act his way off the back patio of Crimson Lights, but by the time he started landing gigs like the badass, surfer boy who bedded Coop (Mischa Barton) and then accidently killed her on The O.C., he was a totally different and vastly improved actor. Meanwhile, Y&R fans got the amazing Michael Graziadei as Daniel , who will no doubt soon be competing with Gigandet for film roles.

Mischa Barton: Cover Girl!



Mischa Barton graces the cover of the September issue of Marie Claire magazine and I must say for a lady with questionable fashion taste, Mischa looks absolutely gorgeous on this cover.   All My Children fans remember Mischa from her days playing Lily Montgomery and of course her break out role as Marissa Cooper on The O.C. 

Inside the mag, the actress dishes on her recent troubles, the press and her love life.

“I’m lucky to know you can have more than one soulmate in life,” she says. “But, like a true actress, I’m always changing the way I feel about who I want to be. Nowadays, I feel I’m settling more into a woman and I’m understanding who I am.”

Mischa Barton Accepts Responsiblity for DUI

Body: 

How refreshing is it for a Hollywood starlet taking responsibility for her actions as Mischa Barton (f. All My Children) has done in the case of her DUI arrest. This is her quote.

“Obviously I’m 100 percent responsible for my actions in this case. I’m really disappointed in myself. I don’t know what to say about it, except that I’m not perfect, and I just don’t ever intend to do something this stupid again.”

“I was out with some friends and actually hadn’t been driving earlier in the night, but I wanted to get my car home. I can’t really get into specifics. We’ve got the case coming up, and I’m not supposed to say anything about what happened. I was pulled over.”

“I didn’t have a license. I grew up in New York, the land of people who don’t have to drive. It’s always been the toughest thing about living in L.A. for me. I usually try not to get behind the wheel.”

Do you find her admission to be refreshing or do you think she's just trying to get a lighter sentence?
