    Do we spy a celebrity feud in the making? The pair came to blows in the Hawley Arms over Amy’s drinking habits

    Do we spy a celebrity feud in the making? Just hours after meeting up in Camden celebrity hangout, the Hawley Arms, Mischa Barton and Amy Winehouse came to blows over Amy’s uncontrollable drinking habit.

    2010’S BIGGEST CELEBRITY SCANDALS

    Mischa’s been making herself at home in London, amid rumours she’s set to make a permanent move to the capital to settle down with British boyfriend, DJ Ali Love.

    And the star was spotted socialising with Amy Winehouse at Camden’s favourite celeb haunt, exchanging kisses with the Back to Black songstress and sitting down with her to catch up over a drink.

    But things took a turn for the worse, when newly teetotal Mischa – who stuck to tonic water all evening – tried to advise Amy on her drinking habits, telling her she’d ‘had enough for the evening’ when she came back from the bar with yet another alcoholic beverage.

    'Mischa didn't have anything to drink at all, she ordered a tonic with lemon and said that it feels like she's having a drink,' a source told the Sun.

    'Amy was in with some friends, and she got on the vodka, then the sambuca shots.'

    But things went down hill as the party moved upstairs to a private room.'Amy was starting to get a bit maudlin,' the source continued. 'She'd been fine and jolly earlier but as usually, that soon changed.'

    'Mischa looked concerned and said that she'd had enough for the night. She wasn't being a killjoy. Amy looked upset.'

    And it seems the comment was enough to spark an angry confrontation between the pair.

    ‘Obviously she [Amy] was drunk and didn't take it well, she yelled at Mischa that it was none of her business and her mate told her to leave it.'

    Meanwhile, it seems former LA party girl Mischa – who received clinic treatment earlier this year – seems to have turned a corner when it comes to alcohol.

    'I’m avoiding drinking, which is a shame as there’s nothing better than a glass of delicious English Pimm’s' she recently revealed.
