“The Beautiful Life: TBL” is over.

The show was produced by Ashton Kutcher and featured former “The O.C.” star Mischa Barton as a troubled model, but its star power generated less than runway-ready ratings — Wednesday’s episode was watched by a scant 1 million people, or less than a third of Ashton’s Twitter followers.
