We had a hoot working with (if only for a brief time) the lovely Sara Paxton. The CW show The Beautiful Life came to a close all too soon. Now starlet Sara Paxton is telling how the bad news was broken to the cast of the Ashton Kucher produced soap series about young, hip fashion models that would have been.

Sara Paxton played the rising new fresh face to Mischa Barton’s washed up face on the new york fashion scene, and now she feels more like the latter than the former. Paxton told Latina Magazine about the ugly turns her life has taken due to the show’s cancellation. Adding insult to injury, despite taping 7 episodes, The CW has decide to re-air episodes of the new Melrose Place rather than air the five remaining Beautiful Life episodes. One would guess that while the episodes have been lensed, they have yet to be post-produced, so there why spend the network cash to finishing editing on an already sunken ship?

From the Sara Paxton Latina interview: how she heard the bad news

I was sitting in the hair and makeup chair, and I’m getting my hair done just like a normal Friday–we were all excited for Friday. And all of a sudden, they got the call, and the producers had to make an announcement on set that we were done–that we were over! And I was sitting there in shock. I couldn’t believe that in the middle of work, the rug was pulled out beneath our feet.

Ashton Kutcher got his ego blown:

I think he’s just as disappointed as all of us. This had his name on it, and it was his first scripted series. I don’t understand how they’ve given so many shows in the past a chance, and not ours. I mean why ours? Why us? It blows my mind.

Sara Paxton on a star stranded in New York City, stuck with a six-month lease:

We thought we were going to be here until December. Literally we packed up our lives from Los Angeles to New York. I spent two months and thousands of dollars without a paycheck moving to NY. And now they just say, ‘oh, peace, you’re done?’ We all signed 6 month leases, and now we all have to figure out how to get out of our leases, and I have to figure out how to get all my furniture back. I don’t know what to do with this NY furniture. We’re kind of stranded.
