After just two episodes, The CW has pulled the plug on The Beautiful Life, starring Mischa Barton. Perez Hilton reports the drama, produced by Ashton Kutcher, failed to get the ratings needed to keep it on the air.
The show, filmed in New York City, was in the middle of shooting its seventh episode when production was shut down on Friday.
Production for the new CW series The Beautiful Life, starring Mischa Barton has been postponed a week to July 31, reports Reuters. Sources close to the show say the reason for the delay is that some sets were not completed on time.
However, Barton’s recent unspecified “medical issues” have caused speculation that she may be re-cast. Perez Hilton reports a new character will be added to the series, and the actress will play a role strikingly similar to Barton’s character in both looks and personality. There are no reports on who will play the role.

The deal will save the young star from spending any time in jail, People magazine reports. Barton is set to plead no contest and accept three years of unsupervised probation at her arraignment on Thursday.

The former ‘O.C.’ actress was enjoying an evening out in London on Tuesday (28.11.06) when she decided to treat revellers at the trendy Paper nightclub to some of her singing.
Mischa, 20, jumped on stage and launched into the famous track, and even treated clubbers to a sexy dance routine.
One onlooker said: “She got on stage clutching a microphone and a bottle of champagne. She seemed a bit drunk, but her singing was good. She certainly can hold a note.”
Mischa isn’t the only young star who has been enjoying London’s nightlife this week.

A source said: “Not only is she very little but she was quite tired because she’s in the middle of her tour. She only sipped a few glasses of Veuve
Clicquot champagne and one vodka shot. Her party still ran up a pretty sizable £2,000 bar bill, though.”

Barton and Davis, grandson of billionaire Martin Davis, began dating in February 2004 after meeting at a charity function.
Barton is currently back on the set of The O.C. after filming a new movie in Europe.
