Don't Bother Me I'm Watching... A Guide to Kids' TV

The Beautiful Life

Network: CW
Age: Teen and Adult
Premieres: Sept. 16 at 9 p.m. ET

Fashion shows look incredibly glamorous from the audience, but like all other productions this is a performance with costumes, sets and actors. Yet the behind-the-scenes lives of the industry kids are not so glamorous: days filled with cattle calls and photo shoots in lieu of playing ball and hanging out with friends. Mischa Barton (The O.C.) plays supermodel Sonja Stone, who stunned the fashion world by disappearing for six months at the top of her game, leading to much speculation. An extra two pounds derails her big comeback, and Raina Mayer (Sara Paxton, Last House on the Left) gets her spot on the runway and becomes the next big thing. The cast also includes Chris Andrews (Benjamin Hollingsworth, The Line), a boy literally fresh off the farm who gets discovered during a family trip to New York City, and Claudia Foster (Elle McPherson), a former supermodel and head of the modeling agency that handles all the top models.
