The CW has released a clip from its new fall TV show The Beautiful Life called the “Sonya” promo.
Mischa Barton plays Sonya Stone on the show, a veteran model who is having to climb her way back up the ropes in the model industry that the show revolves around.

Here’s another new clip I found with the basic theme as in the one above – “beauty has a price” and “what are you willing to pay?” – a beatiful life in an ugly “world”:
The Beautiful Life will premiere at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Wednesday, September 16 following America’s Next Top Model.
So I guess the big twist is that Sonja disappeared to have a baby and she’s using pills to get rid of the weight she gained. That poor baby. I hope he/she doesn’t get dropped.
