The latest member of fashion’s TV takeover?
Elle MacPherson.
The supermodel’s signed on to Ashton Kutcher’s CW pilot, A Beautiful Life, the same one for which Mischa Barton’s interrupting those Shakespeare studies.
Elle plays Claudia (so if Claudia Schiffer guest stars, does she get to be Elle?), a supermodel from the 80′s who still happens to be smoking hot. In her spare time, she runs the top New York Model agency, Focus models, “with the efficiency and toughness of a dictator.”
Natalie can’t figure out if this is a genuine drama or a satire on drama because she says you couldn’t possibly cast Mischa Barton on another CW soap if it’s supposed to be taken seriously.
I think it’s reality TV with prettier people and a script.

i think this show is going to be amazing!!

Reality TV WITH A SCRIPT?????? That’s all that reality TV is. When I was on one(in a documentary nationally televized on 2 successive nights)it was NOT scripted , and still boring ,except for my segments . This one will at least have attractive people to look at. These plot lines are like meat grinders. What ever went in whole comes out like a mound of crap.

So it’ll be like The Hills, only the clothes are actually interesting, fun to look at, designed well, infused with personality, and worn properly?
Wait… Mischa’s in it.
As long as she doesn’t get to pick out her own outfits, I suppose everything should be fine.
Omg… perhaps, if this show is anything it has the potential to be, she’ll hire [gasp!] a stylist and stop rocking the homeless, non-shaven bohemian thing Mary-K seemingly did when Mischa was still…anyone with a semblance of importance.
guest 3, you realize fashionologie posted this 40 minutes AFTER fashionista? and yet i don’t see your hacking cough in their comments section…
actually i’m interested in seeing this. Hopefully, the stylists will be as good as the ones on GG
oh come on, mischa isn’t as bad as everyone makes her out to be! you all loved her on the OC.
and to the writer: COULDN’T
not to be obnoxious about your typo, though
and the last line of that article bothers me….
