The Beautiful Life: Does The World Need Another Show About Models? (No.)
Have you ever wished you could see what goes on behind the scenes in the world of modeling or high fashion? Well, you must be a very entertained person, then, because almost every show on TV gives you that! ANTM, Project Runway, that show about an old model, and The Hills, just to name a few. But today the CW released a clip for their new show about the world's dullest people, The Beautiful Life starring Mischa Barton, Corbin Bleu, and Sara Paxton, whoever those last two people are. And it's produced by Ashton Kutcher, and it looks terrible!
Did you make it all the way through? I did, but it's my job :(. Apparently Zac Posen was the designer playing himself, if anyone cares. This looks like what would happen if they made an entire show out of the first establishing scene of Sweet Home Alabama, meaning it looks completely uneccessary in every way. But Mischa Barton's butt! Yay? This show is the reason Ashton Kutcher had to solicit show ideas on his Twitter, until his legal council (sic) made him stop.

Why did I watch that? It was actually worse than I thought it would be.
Score = 10
I made it about 45 seconds in. Will there be a spinoff show about how to commit suicide after watching this?
Score = 11
I'm definitely going to start saying "break a heel!" to everyone that I know (I won't)
Score = 6
Can there just go ahead and be a Videogum weekly segment about how long through this clip can you make it without stopping it and/or promptly perishing?
Also I like how all the actors are tagged in this post...because of when I need to find all the articles relating to Cordon Bleu or whateverthefuck her name is.
Score = 4
They should call the show "Burn It To The Ground"
Score = 7
"BOOM goes the brainamite" (Boom did not the brainamite go)
Score = 1
So they're finally releasing trailers for the BRATZ movie?
Score = 8
All the dialogue sounded like it was read off cue cards by people with ass-burgers
Score = 6
And I didn't think I could loathe high fashion any more than I already did.
Score = -1
was this made in the 80'! what was up w/ the grainy film. that was just...awful. i see misha barton is playing herself, pills & all. ashton kutcher should have all of his future ideas burned in advance
Score = 1
WHAT A STAR.
Score = 18
This is the third show that Kutcher has produced with the word "beauty" in the title. Somebody needs to go to thesaurus school.
Score = 18
what radio station could she have POSSIBLY been listening to that would report on something like this???
these are things that could never happen.
Score = 12
Yes, thank you! Are there any radio stations anywhere that provide WWE-style blow-by-blow commentary on fashion shows? Also, does anyone anywhere actually anticipate anorexic models' triumphant returns (after SIX MONTHS out of the spotlight? isn't that generally the time between fashion seasons?) I would maybe listen to those radio shows if they existed because they'd be boring in a zen-like way, and so subjectively figurative that it would approach the surreal. But I can't do that, because they only exist in Ashton Kutcher's brain. Damn you, Ashton Kutcher's brain.
Score = 4
Mischa Barton was TOO FAT for something? Did her body become a black hole collapsing in on itself somehow?
Score = 6
so much anticipation! There's nothing that takes more talent than stomping down a short walkway in heels with a grumpy look on your face. I admire the brave men and women who walk short distances every day.
Score = 8
When The OC aired, I'd have these inexplicable urges to throw bagels at the TV screen and screech "EAT SOMETHING!!!" whenever Mischa Barton was on screen.
I'm going to need a bigger bagel for The Beautiful Life.
Score = 2
Not at all inexplicable. Girl needs a burger.
Score = 2
OMG, that was SO bad. Ok, here we go:
1) That fashion show was beyond awful, the last thing the designer wants is for girls to be showing attitude during a runway ( unless he's Cavalli) and to such shitty shitty music!
2) Zac Posen has become as bloated as his ego. He can make such pretty clothes but WTF was that?
3) A real model wouldn't cover up with a rag - EVER. She'd walk around naked. Take some risks, CW! Or shoot from the collarbone up
4) I thought I would never have to see Mischa Barton's trapped panda eyes ever again when she died on the OC, but look who's come crawling back to television. And to the CW no less - sad.
5) Ashton Kutcher should just stop.
Score = -2
