Mischa Barton did what any self-respecting celebrity caught in a lesbian kiss scandal would do to set the record straight: she took to her blog to clarify what exactly was going on when she was caught smoochin' a female friend on Monday in France.

"I was photographed at my 23rd birthday party engaging in what most of the gossip blogs refer to as a "girl on girl" kiss," the actress writes. "Well I just wanted to take this moment to clear the air by saying that the kiss was purely platonic! We were joking around and it was taken out of context."

Suuuuure it was, Mischa. But for the record -- we don't kiss our straight girlfriends no matter how drunk or French we're feeling.
