Does It Mean Anything That Mischa Barton Was Excluded From Her Show's Ad Campaign?

Surely by now you've seen the new advertising campaign for Mischa Barton's new show, 'The Beautiful Life.' You know, the campaign that has the stars of the show posing nude (but with strategically placed arms/hands to keep it the pictures from being completely revealing).

Yet one cast member is missing from the campaign: the star of the show, Mischa. Her rep insists it is not a sign that the actress is about to be replaced.

Her spokesperson says, "She didn't participate in that shoot. It didn't
work out timing-wise for her. (The photo shoot took place) a while ago
when she was in London."

A spokesperson for the CW network also backs the star: "This is just
one element of the network's marketing campaign, and not every cast
member is in each piece of creative."

That makes sense, but I have to admit, I've never seen an advertising campaign for a show that omitted the star. Yet these ads are so eye-catching, it probably doesn't matter. And Mischa's obviously on the show; these pictures were taken of her on set.

Are you interested in watching this show about models, 'The Beautiful Life'?
