Mischa Barton is coming to the CW — but not, as rumored, in the pilot for the new Melrose Place. Instead, she'll be playing a model in The Beautiful Life, a drama pilot that's being considered for Fall.
The show's being produced by Ashton Kutcher, among others, and revolves around a group of models (coed, naturally) living together in a house in New York City. Barton's character is Sonja, "a supermodel and veteran of the high-fashion circuit who is struggling to keep on top and is in danger of slipping."
The famously fashion-loving Barton's got modeling experience of her own to draw on — she's been the face of Bebe and her own handbag and headband collections, among others. I'm curious to see how this project comes together — and even more curious to see Barton back on the small screen. Tell me: Do you think this sounds like a good post-OC project for the former Marissa Cooper?

Yawwwwn. If the pilot is picked up, I give it a month.
1So instead of the new Melrose Place, it's the new Models, Inc. The fail is strong with this one, I think.
2I think Mischa is beautiful, but she is such a terrible actress.
3Hmm....that's a show I could watch
4Who knows...she might be given an insane storyline and then be written off the show...still bitter about The OC!
5wait, she CAN play a character that's not Marissa? are you sure?
6ew
7This show sounds good if they keep it dramatic! i think it has a shot! i want to see mischa back on the little screen since she's done nothing!
