Mischa Barton says she's proud of her curves

Mischa Barton has revealed she's proud of her curvaceous figure.

The former 'O.C.' actress -- who recently slammed an Australian paparazzo for taking pictures of her in a bikini -- said: "I have a woman's body. I have hips and boobs, so when I gain any weight it goes straight there. I don't mind because it gives me curves.

"I'm not self-conscious about my body. I eat healthily and I work out.

"Everybody has things they are conscious of that they don't like but, like any girl, I talk about this with my friends.

"I have a womanly body. But otherwise, if I'm being really skinny and eating less and working out more, I get more of a boyish figure.

"But I like my curves and my boyfriend loves them."
