Some girls have all the luck, including it seems actress Mischa Barton.

Not content to have a lifestyle and career most people would kill for, she also had the pleasure of hooking up with gorgeous actor Josh Hartnett after they bumped into one another at trendy club Bungalow 8 last night.

Mischa, who recently split from musician boyfriend Taylor Locke is clearly keen to put the past behind her.

And what better way than to get acquainted with the handsome but serious Josh.

The pair left the club together and sources said Mischa was seen arriving at Hartnett's London hotel. She was then seen leaving an hour later.

The opening of the play, which debuts this weekend was recently put back a week to 19 September to allow new director Terry Johnson time to settle in.

Rehearsal time was lost after the departure of original director David Grindley.

Misha, 22, recently split from Rooney frontman Locke, 24, after almost seven months together.

The couple had just returned from a nearly three week safari and charity junket through Africa and all that togetherness seems to have been their downfall.

A source said it was Mischa who pulled the plug. The source told In Touch magazine: 'Mischa and Taylor’s romance worked because they spent so much time apart.

'He’d be on tour or she’d be working in Europe and they talked over the phone or e-mail.

'They fought almost every day on the trip. She broke up with him just a few days after they returned to LA.'

Hartnett has been linked to a string of beautiful women since his split from actress Scarlett Johansson, including Penelope Cruz and Girls Aloud's Nadine Coyle.
