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.

Click this link to read the full post, including some amazing captures of Mischa.
