I really wish that Wendie was here to cover this because I know that she deserves to be able to break you this news, but Mischa Barton’s new show the The Beautiful Life was canceled after only two episodes. Two. That’s gotta be preeeeetty bad. I can’t give you a real opinion on the show because, like most of America, I didn’t bother to watch it. Only 1.1 viewers tuned in on Wednesday to catch the second ep, resulting in the CW announcing on Friday that they were calling the whole thing off. To fill the slot, CW will be re-airing episodes of their remake drama, Melrose Place.

I’m sure the news comes as a shock to Mischa who seemed to think that this show was particularly prolific and who has recently had a harder go than usual, what with the whole “mental breakdown” thing. Tough go, lady.

  • So there IS justice in this world….praise the lord. i believe that anyone who reads this blog might have counted as the .1 – since I think I saw a clip of the show right here. And frankly I could barely get through the clip…that’s how bloody awful it was.

    I am so relieved. May Mischa Barton continue her downward spiral out of the public’s eye….she is painful to watch. Why is she famous?

  • Dev. A. Stated. I cannot believe this story broke during one of my stretches of time off. I wonder if this cancellation will cause a dental flare-up for Misch.
