London, Jan 29 : Just hours before being snapped kissing `Kooks' frontman Luke Pritchard, actress Mischa Barton was spotted locking lips with a female pal on her birthday.

The `OC' star kissed and cuddled her brunette friend outside a Paris nightclub while celebrating her 23rd birthday.

And immediately after that, she jetted to the British capital to meet her singer boyfriend.

However, it wasn't the first time Barton enjoyed a lesbian kiss, reports The Sun.

Mischa has earlier admitted that she preferred the girl-on-girl scenes because they were "more natural".

In fact, she also frolicked with Rachel Evan Wood in 2006 film `Once And Again'. (ANI)
