Mischa Barton's return to the small screen has been cut short.
The CW network announced plans to halt production on fashion drama The Beautiful Life Friday after just two episodes. After garnering just 1.1 million viewers for its second and final episode, Variety reports the Wednesday night timeslot will be filled by reruns of the network's Melrose Place reboot, featuring Ashlee Simpson-Wentz.
Find out which other stars are returning to TV this fall.
Loosely based on executive producer Ashton Kutcher's days as a model, Life featured Barton, 23, as a supermodel and veteran of the high-fashion circuit who is struggling to keep on top and is danger of slipping. Corbin Bleu and Elle MacPherson also starred.
The series has faced an uphill battle from its inception.

In July, production on the New York City-based series was postponed after Barton was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for psychiatric evaluation.
The actress, who rose to fame as the rebellious Marissa Cooper on The O.C., later denied claims she had a mental breakdown, instead claiming her stay was a result of a "terrible" wisdom tooth surgery."

53As if Mischa needed another reason to go crazy.
I really liked the show! Very short lived.
i thought the show was good, and was a nice slice of the model industry! micha acted well, way to early to axe, what a shame and melrose place sucked, so corny!
Well, I guess that will be her latest excuse to go on a bender.
That show was stupid a smart move on their part. She a druggie slut.

Did anyone see Mischa star in that new Lifetime movie "Homecoming" this weekend? She played a selfish, psycho bitch (yet again) and did an expert job at it. I don't like her, but her acting is good.
This was a great show. Two episodes? Somebody has a trigger finger. :( I hate when networks do that. oh yes.. let's see more of lip syncher Ashlee Simpson. no thank you.
Oh I am so sad!! I really liked this show. I thought it was pretty good actually. I have dvr'ed it every week so far!
ok
I really tried to get into this show but I just couldn't. Doesn't work out for everyone! I don't feel bad for her so much as the new actors because I'm sure they thought this was there big break. Good Luck to them!
dont really like her. she isnt all that pretty. not trying to be mean just is the truth
damn people.she's a humain if you don't know.you judge peolpe and you all night long sucking cocks go to hell.
Because Barton cannot act and she cleary has issues that need to be addressed. Dental surgery gone wrong doesn't put you on a psychiatric hold. Makes her sound worse. She's a pretty girl, but it doesn't mean she can act.
Should give it a bit more time to find a following. As good as alot of the garbage that is on....and so much depends on what else is on at the same time. Why so cruel to Micsha?
Dude...this poor chick has the WORST luck!!
never seen or even heard of it until now
I wonder what rehab facility Mischa will be going too now. Anyone wanna guess? I say the same place Britney went, as Mischa needs to stay in the lime light as much as she can!
