Ever since O.C. actress Mischa Barton split from oil heir Brandon Davis, photos of Barton and her alleged new beau, Hollywood stylist Johnny Wujek, have been all over the weeklies. But is the romance for real? While Barton, 19, is telling pals Wujek, 27, is her boyfriend, sources close to the pair say it’s all part of the not-so-ingenue’s plan to make her ex jealous.
“Mischa wants everyone to think she dumped Brandon,” one source says. “But the truth is, he’s the one who wanted out. She’s desperate to make him jealous and get him back.” Her tactics have been far from subtle, we’re told. For instance, when Brandon, 22, stumbled across the pair at the Roosevelt Hotel’s pool recently, Barton and Wujek immediately “went into PDA overdrive,” says a witness. “They were making out all hot and heavy right in front of Brandon, who looked pretty pissed and finally just left.”
The two parted ways in April after an argument in which the actress accused the hard-living heir of using her for her fame, says a Davis pal, who claims Brandon was “sick of spending his entire $8,000-a-month allowance on her.” (Though Davis’s grandfather, Marvin, was a billionaire oilman and left him a hefty trust, we hear his mother doesn’t allow him to have more than that because of his history of excessive partying.)
Furthermore, Brandon’s family doesn’t approve of Barton, and “Barbara Davis, Brandon’s grandmother, thinks she’s a gold-digger,” says the source. “But Mischa will do whatever it takes to get Brandon back.”

Called for comment, Barton’s publicist, Craig Schneider, said that there’s “no way” his client and the stylist are dating. “It’s not even possible,” he added, “if you catch my drift.”
