Spoiler Chat: Grey's Anatomy's Kevin McKidd Dishes on (And Defends!) "Love Triangle"
ABC/Randy Holmes
Cristina hates her. With a passion. And so far, it seems that some of you fans do too.
Ever since Kim Raver (whom Cristina named "Desert Storm Barbie") was introduced on Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy, our inbox has overflowed with messages from fans wanting to know what's next for their favorite couple, Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) and Owen (Kevin McKidd), now that Kim's character, Dr. Teddy Altman, is in the mix.
Well, we just talked to Kevin himself, and he admits that he, too, was concerned at first about the triangle, but he warmed up to it, and tells you fans why you might want to keep an open mind.
Oh, and if you want to know what's next for Glee (Christmas song!), Vampire Diaries (dish from Kevin Williamson himself) or Desperate Housewives (who won't die?), we have that too.
It's all in our latest roundup of exclusive TV scoop...

Some Ugly News: The Beautiful Life Canceled
Jan Thijs / The CW
Every fall, the bell tolls first for someone. This year, it tolls for thee, Mischa Barton.
She and the rest of the comely cast of The Beautiful Life are out of a job, with the CW opting to cancel the drama after just two episodes, the network confirmed to E! News Friday.
This marks the first (and, assuredly, not the last by far) cancellation of the just-begun 2009-10 television season.
The Ashton Kutcher-produced show, about the trials and tribulations of the modeling world (which, on TV at least, involves a lot of sex and catfighting), was plagued with production problems from the start, starting with Barton's hospitalization for emotional exhaustion and post-op pain in July.
To add insult to injury, a mere 1.5 million people tuned in for its Sept. 16 premiere, and only 1 million caught Wednesday's episode.

Beautiful Life Punked by Glee!
Takashi Seida /The CW
There wasn't anything pretty about The Beautiful Life's premiere last night.
The CW model drama, starring Mischa Barton on the comeback trail, and featuring Ashton Kutcher in the producer's credits, was watched by just 1.5 million, per early Nielsen numbers.
The show proved especially inept with young women, who were mostly engaged at 9 p.m. by Fox's still-going-strong Glee (6.6 million).
Overall, the season closer of America's Got Talent led Wednesday with a finale-record 15.5 million who still can't believe how good the Rolling Stones look on Susan Boyle. Jay Leno hung onto most of the crowd, with his new 10 p.m. show climbing to 13.1 million viewers.
Sean Penn Debuts New Girlfriend Amid NYC's Star-Studded Weekend Bashes
StarTracks
What a weekend for New Yorkers!
With the MTV Video Music Awards, Fashion Week, the U.S. Open and all the star-studded parties that come with them, so much fun stuff went down.
Let's start with the leggy.
Newly separated (again!) Sean Penn stepped out with Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Jessica White to celebrate fellow catwalker Noemie Lenoir's birthday at new hot spot Abe & Arthur's on Saturday night.
The following evening, Jay-Z's sleek VMAs afterparty took over 1Oak and included guests from Rihanna and Beyoncé to Justin Timberlake and Jessica Alba.
Outside, however, things took a dustier turn when Diddy had a "misunderstanding," as his rep tells E! News, with some cops. Worry not, the NYPD says no arrests were made, and all related parties seem to think the situation was "blown out of proportion."

Mischa Barton's "Silly" Hospitalization Continues to Confound
ABC/ Steve Fenn
That Mischa Barton is just so wise.
Perhaps that's why her meltdown that sent her to the psychiatric ward is being blamed on her wisdom teeth. Still.
The Beautiful Life starlet appeared on The View today and was appropriately grilled on the situation. Instead of giving Barbara Walters and the other ladies who coffee-klatch stock answers or keeping her mouth shut, she opened way wide, including talk of pain meds and suicide (we think, kinda, sorta)…

Demi Moore on The Beautiful Life? Nope!

This rumor was inevitable. With Ashton Kutcher as creator and executive producer of new CW show The Beautiful Life, talk naturally had to come around to his lovely wife, Demi Moore, making a guest appearance on the show about young New York models.
While online and overseas reports surfaced over the weekend that the movie star would be making a guest appearance on the show, a rep for the CW tell us this...

Just because Mischa Barton's had some well-publicized personal issues lately doesn't mean the powers that be behind her new CW show, The Beautiful Life, are going to shy away from certain close-to-home storylines.
The big question is: Now that we know Mischa's not doing a disappearing act—though producers teased someone will in the pilot—will they be holding back the types of stories one might expect a young model in New York to go through?
Here's what executive producer Mike Kelley told us today at the CBS and CW special online screening session about Mischa's storylines and a possible Gossip Girl crossover episode with The Beautiful Life...
All the Beautiful Stars (Except Mischa) Get Naked
The CW
Joining Melrose Place, Gossip Girl and 90210, producer Ashton Kutcher's new show The Beautiful Life looks pretty similar to everything else on the CW. Plus, it's got the whole "starring Mischa Barton" thing to overcome.
Which may explain the whole new tune-in campaign for TBL: Ads with naked people.
Makes sense. Melrose Place already called dibs on "Tuesday's the New Humpday" and 90210 grabbed the low-hanging testicular angle, so what other moderately salacious thing is there, really?
Since Mischa is missing from the naked lineup (as well as Elle Macpherson and Nico Tortorella), you'll just have to make due with Sarah Paxton, Corbin Bleu, Ashley Madekwe and Ben Hollingsworth.
But really, now that you've seen them naked, is there any reason to tune in?
The Beautiful Life Producer Ashton Kutcher Defends Star Mischa Barton

To hear Ashton Kutcher tell it, everything is copacetic with The Beautiful Life star Mischa Barton. Sure, she was recently hospitalized, and she wasn't at the Television Critics Association press tour this morning, and she's been plagued by "not! stable!" rumors since her O.C. days, but aplusk isn't letting anybody talk smack about his girl. Ashton told reporters, "[Mischa] was never unavailable for a day of work...Mischa's in New York working today."
Oh, and did we mention that Ashton also described Mischa, who plays supermodel Sonja Stone on the CW's upcoming fashionista series, as a grande dame of TV drama? Well, he didn't actually call her a dame, but close enough...
