"Troubled actress Mischa Barton is out of work.

And she’s not alone. That’s because there won’t be a long life for the CW’s “The Beautiful Life.”

The network shut down production on the glitzy drama produced by Ashton Kutcher and starring Barton after just two episodes, a network official confirmed Friday.

The series was set in the high-gloss world of the New York modeling scene. Besides Barton, the show starred Corbin Bleu and Elle McPherson.

“The Beautiful Life” was paired with “America’s Next Top Model” Wednesdays at 9 p.m. It launched with middling reviews, and to an audience of 1.4 million viewers, according to The Nielsen Company. The audience dropped to just 1 million in the second week.

Six episodes of the show were shot before the CW pulled the plug. The show is off the network’s lineup immediately, and a replacement will soon be named, the official said." (Source: NY Daily News)

Sad. We tried to give the show a chance but there really wasn't anything that made this show worth watching. The acting, the storyline, even the production were all less than stellar. The series looked at certain points as if it had been filmed by a bunch of freshman film students.

We definitely hope Corbin lands on his feet though. It's ironic that in the new series he played a washed-up child model who was struggling to revive his career. We hope the same won't prove true in real life. Everyone has been paid witness to how difficult the transition from child star to adult celebrity can be. "The Beautiful Life" is the first show to get the axe this fall.
