Remaining TBL episodes to be aired next year
Posted on Saturday November 14, 2009 at 3:02 pm by Michele

According to reports The CW is planning to air the remaining episodes of “The Beautiful Life: TBL” during the summer.

I don’t know for sure if this is true, as the Facebook page that originally posted it is not official, but I will let you know as soon as I find more.

Bad news:

Krista in Lafayette Hill, Pa.: Is it true that the CW has decided to air the rest of the episodes of The Beautiful Life later this season? If for some miracle the ratings increased would they bring it back full time?
A representative for the CW tells us, “The status of unaired eps of The Beautiful Life is still to be determined.” My rock-solid source who knows about such things tells me: No truth whatsoever. Sorry, Mischa!

“The Beautiful Life”: What could have been… – Part 2
Posted on Thursday October 1, 2009 at 5:01 pm by Michele

Thanks to director Norman Buckley we have some additional info and photos for episode 5 of “The Beautiful Life”.

Sara Paxton and Nico Tortorella have a romance that proceeds gradually in the episode, and then builds to this moment. I was inspired by the huge close shots between Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift in A PLACE IN THE SUN, but the impact of shots this large would be diluted if one went to them too soon.

“The Beautiful Life”: What could have been…
Posted on Thursday October 1, 2009 at 2:19 am by Michele

Thanks to Hollywood Crush we finally have some answers about what was going to happen in the remaining episodes of “The Beautiful Life”. Here is an highlight from article regarding Cole, Nico’s character:

We already know Sonja and Cole go back at least three years to when that photo of Sonja was taken doing cocaine. But Sonja and Cole are another pair who end up hitting the sheets in episode 7.

We also have confirmation that Nico walked on the Lacoste runway as part of the show:

Our source also said we’ll miss Nico walking in a real Lacoste show, a photo shoot in the real Calvin Klein offices [... see below for more on this]

To read the full article, with information on a possible DVD release and more spoilers, click this link.

Regarding the CK shoot we can also exclusively reveal that:

Calvin Klein shot Nico and Sara on September 24, Sara also hinted this on one of her twits. The photos are racy and edgy in typical CK style and the plan was to use an ACTUAL billboard ad in Times Square. The photos posted of Nico and Sara on location on September 14 was when they saw the billboard for the first time.

Remember that most of times scenes are not filmed in the right order, especially when locations or special guest stars are required, hence why they see the billboard before shooting the actual photo for it.

The CW cancels “The Beautiful Life”
Posted on Saturday September 26, 2009 at 1:34 am by Michele

Bad news…

After two episodes, The CW has canceled Ashton Kutcher’s scripted drama “The Beautiful Life.”
Production on the the show, which had been filming its seventh episode, was shut down Friday.
Wednesday’s episode was seen by just 1 million viewers and generated a 0.5 rating in the adult demo.
The decision comes on the heels of two reality show pickups by the network, “Fly Girls” and a Tinsley Mortimer docusoap.
The CW’s freshman revamp of “Melrose Place” has had difficulty achieving liftoff as well, but Thursday night’s “Vampire Diaries” has been performing strong. Last night’s third “Diaries” episode grew in the adult demo despite facing increased competition.
The CW has not yet announced a replacement for the “Beautiful Life” slot. The new reality shows won’t be ready until January. One option is airing “Melrose Place” encores (like the way the network double-pumped “90210″ last season). Another option, less likely, is to bring “Smallville” back into the midweek mix.  “Smallville” was shifted to Friday nights for its (presumed) final season and debuts this evening.
The main driver behind the CW’s order to“TBL” was the similarity in setting with the network’s veteran reality series “America’s Next top Model,” which served as its lead-in on Wednesday.
