NEW YORK — Mischa Barton is taking a break from television after her new series The Beautiful Life was canceled after just two episodes.
"I think I need to back away from the whole TV approach," the 23-year-old actress told People at Monday night's Whitney Museum Gala in New York City. "That whole world of network television, probably isn't, for me, a good idea now. I need to start reading for more serious roles."

LOS ANGELES — Mischa Barton's return to the small screen was a short one.
The CW has canceled "The Beautiful Life: TBL" after just two episodes, Variety reports.
Production on the show was halted on Friday after the series drew just 1.1 million viewers in its second episode.
The network is expected to air reruns of "Melrose Place" in "TBL's" Wednesday night timeslot for the time being.
In an ironic twist, Barton had been rumored for months as a potential castmember on "Melrose" prior to "TBL" coming about. It's likely the former "O.C." star's name will once again be mentioned as a potential resident at "Melrose."

LOS ANGELES — Mischa Barton may have raised more questions about her recent hospitalization after a bizarre interview on Friday's "The View."
During her appearance, the 23-year-old actress often shifted gears as she tried to explain what led to her being placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold in July.
"I mean, really it was blown out of proportion, so it's kind of silly now to be talking about it because I'm so fine now, but it was really just a bad time for me," Barton told the ABC chatfest. "It was sort of one of those things that was like a perfect storm. Everything happened at once."
