Despite her incomprehensibly gaunt frame, and lack of acting talent, Mischa Barton has been cast in a new series.

The actress - whose character was hilariously killed off The OC - has landed a role in The CW's fall drama The Beautiful Life.

Barton herself can scarcely believe it. Here's what she had to say in a recent blog entry:

I've been traveling so extensively that I barely had time to react to my pilot getting picked up for a Fall launch... Production is supposed to get underway as of mid July and I couldn't be more thrilled to call the likes of Ashton Kutcher boss; not to mention being affiliated with the CW. Hope you guys enjoy!
