Mischa Barton is to star in a new television series called A Beautiful Life produced by Ashton Kutcher. The series will be based on Ashton's experience in the fashion industry during his time as a model.
Mischa told People: "Ashton developed it about his life growing up as a model from Iowa, so it's about the whole fashion world that he was in, and obviously I have a lot of friends in the fashion world, so I'm used to being around a lot of people in that."
"[I play] a bitchy model-type character, like it's a totally different character for me."
Mischa, a regular at Fashion Week's catwalks, has faced similar criticisms to models in her career, particularly that she is too skinny. She said: "I just had to release a comment about how I'm eating enough and I'm healthy.
"I'm more concerned for young girls these days ... and I think it's important that you say I'm comfortable and I'm fine and you should to be too because it's, like, silly ... You're always too skinny or too fat or too something."
A new fashion show is just what we need following the news Ugly Betty may not be making a comeback. We can't wait!
