'The Beautiful Life: TBL'

We don't know which was worse: The surly defensiveness radiating off the producers whenever anyone mentioned Mischa Barton's much-publicized hospitalization or Ashton Kutcher prattling about his vast modeling experience while sitting next to bona fide supermodel Elle Macpherson, who said maybe 4 1/2 words. Plus there was no explanation for the superfluous and exceedingly annoying ":TBL" that was tacked onto the show title without warning. Pass!
