LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Despite rumors that Mischa Barton was slated for the remake of "Melrose Place," the actress is headed to a different CW show, this one produced by Ashton Kutcher .
According to People, Mischa has been tapped to star in "A Beautiful Life," as an experienced model named Sonia. "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," Mischa told the mag Thursday night at a GQ magazine-hosted party celebrating the new men's fragrance Burberry the Beat.

As for her role she'll play on the new Ashton produced show? "[I play] a bitchy model-type character, like it's a totally different character for me," she said.
