    I have to agree with the reviews. Especially being a native NY'er. It's definitely no GIA, not even close. I switched to the news for something more interesting. If you can imagine that.

    Most of the characters are about as distinctive as mannequins. You won't mind, though, because they're awfully nice to look at. But the disgraced supermodel is played by Mischa Barton, and this is where the show may achieve inadvertent poignancy.

    For all its well-designed moves, TBL is made of some pretty chintzy material.

    The Beautiful Life is designed to fit alongside CW anchors like "90210," except that even by those standards, it's pretty predictable and stilted.
