The CW ordered a pilot episode for The Beautiful Life: TBL with Ashton Kutcher serving as the executive producer

AIRING: SEPTEMBER 16, 2009 9/8C

Plot:

The life of a high-fashion model appears glamorous and sexy, but as every new model quickly learns, behind the beautiful facade is a world of insecurity and cut-throat competition. Two teenage models who are about to discover this world for themselves are Raina Mayer (Sara Paxton, "Last House on the Left"), a stunning beauty with a secret past, and Chris Andrews (Benjamin Hollingsworth, "The Line"), a strikingly handsome Iowa farm boy.

When Raina makes an unforgettable impression at a show introducing the new line from designer Zac Posen (appearing in a cameo role), she steals the spotlight from her friend Sonja Stone (Mischa Barton, "The O.C."). Sonja has been out of the country for mysterious reasons and is now desperate to reclaim her standing as the reigning supermodel. While Raina and Sonja live at the top of the fashion food chain, Chris is starting at the bottom, having just been discovered by an agent at the Covet Modeling Agency, which is owned by former supermodel Claudia Foster (Elle Macpherson, "Friends").

At his first photo shoot, Chris' inexperience almost derails his career until Raina comes to his rescue, showing him how to relax and work the camera. That afternoon, Raina brings Chris to the "models' residence" where she lives along with other young hopefuls, including Marissa Delfina (Ashley Madekwe, "Secret Diary of a Call Girl"), Isaac Taylor (Corbin Bleu, "High School Musical 1, 2, and 3:Senior Year, Jump In!") and the current alpha-male-model known as Cole Shepherd (Nico Tortorella, "Twelve").

At an exclusive industry party that night, Chris is again impressed by Raina's generosity when she steps aside to make sure Sonja lands a job that will resurrect her career. However, after an ugly scene with an agent, Chris is left to question whether he can survive in this world of dangerous excess and fleeting fame.

The CW cancels 'The Beautiful Life

The CW has axed The Beautiful Life following two episodes of the Ashton Kutcher-produced series.

The drama, which starred Mischa Barton and Elle Macpherson, was forced to shut down its production on Friday, says The Holllywood Reporter.

The broadcaster is replacing the show in its Wednesday 9pm slot with encores of Melrose Place - a tactic the network utilized last year with 90210 - with immediate effect.

Last Wednesday's installment of The Beautiful Life pulled in a mere 1m viewers.
