According to a report in the Star, Mischa Barton idolizes Jennifer Aniston so intensely that she’s reportedly hooked on Friends re-runs and follows all of Jen’s moves in the press, sources say.

The Star dishes: ‘”Mischa says Jen is an inspiration: The grace and determination she showed pulling herself up by the bootstraps during the past year and, as she puts it, making Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie look like the warts they are!,” a friend of Mischa says.

But when Jen learned that Mischa wants to meet her, she was taken aback. “When Jen finds out she has fans nearly 20 years younger than her, I think she feels her own mortality,” a friend of Jen says. Even so, Jen has agreed to lunch, the friend says, adding: “But if Mischa tells Jen she’s loved her since she was a little girl, Jen will strangle her!”‘
