The CW has pulled the plug on The Beautiful Life after airing only two episodes. The ratings were dismal for the premiere and apparently things weren't looking up after the second week on the air. This makes TBL the first of the new Fall shows to be canceled after two other new CW shows — Melrose Place and The Vampire Diaries — were both picked up for more episodes.

The CW's modelicious new series The Beautiful Life is a look into the secret, scandalous lives of cat walkers. Mischa Barton is back on the small screen as a Kate Moss type whose career has mysteriously fallen by the wayside, while Sarah Paxton is the younger model gearing up to take her place. We got a longer look at a clip a couple of months ago, but see what else is in store before the show premieres on Wednesday.

Not long ago I watched Rocket Science for a second time and was struck all over again by how superbly Reece Thompson (pictured, right) captures the whole Awkward Teen thing. In Assassination of a High School President, he's at it again — though this time his character is ever so slightly cooler and more self-assured than Rocket Science's Hal. In Assassination he plays a sophomore high school student who finds himself teaming up with an unlikely friend, popular girl Francesca Fachini (Mischa Barton), to solve a case of stolen SAT exams.

Homecoming, starring Mischa Barton and 90210's Jessica Stroup, looks like one of those "scary" movies that just makes people laugh hysterically. It misses the mark entirely when it comes to suspense but works quite well as a comedy. Stroup plays the new girlfriend of a guy (Matt Long) who used to date this crazy obsessed girl (Barton).

Models and The CW go together like mashed potatoes and gravy, so I've been curious to see more about The Beautiful Life, the Ashton Kutcher-produced drama series that the network picked up at last month's Upfronts. The show focuses on a group of models living together and trying to make it big in New York, with Mischa Barton and Corbin Bleu among the stars.
The new, extended trailer the network released this week looks a little different from what I'd been expecting.

We already heard that the CW had chosen a lineup of models, vampires, and LA singles for the Fall, but now we have a chance to see them in action. After the jump below, I've got the first preview clips of these takes on the Melrose Place residents, the lives of high-powered models, and the undead.
Speaking of undead — that may be exactly the status of the Gossip Girl spinoff.

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.

With my time at Sundance nearing its end, I figured I would check back in with the photobooth to see which new stars had stopped by for their festival portraits. Not surprisingly, what I found was a whole new bucket full of cute.
Luke Wilson, Adrianna Barraza, and Radha Mitchell from Henry Poole is Here, which I was lucky enough to see, finally took their turn at the photobooth, as did Mischa Barton, who's here for Assassination of a High School President.

Miss Mischa Barton, the waifish former Marissa Cooper from "The O.C.", is a busy lady these days. Currently working alongside Bruce Willis in Assassination of a High School President and having just wrapped up production on Finding t.A.T.u., Barton has landed another role. This time she'll be solving mysteries and getting goosebumps in the psychological thriller Walled In.
