POOR old Mischa Barton!

The actress — whose CW network show The Beautiful Life was recently canceled after just a couple of episodes — has decided that she no longer wants to be a TV star.

“I think I need to back away from the whole TV approach,” she said. “That whole world of network television, probably isn’t, for me, a good idea now. I need to start reading for more serious roles.”

But don’t expect Mischa to be back at work any time soon — she’s more likely to be at the front of an unemployment queue than a camera — Barton hasn’t got a clue what her next project will be.

“It’s too early to tell yet,” she said. “I’m passing on all the [early] offers, because that’s not the stuff you want to do. I want to go fight for interesting things and look for something that’s going to be interesting for me … as a role.”

Mischa says she has been busy “reading scripts and enjoying living in New York.

“Now that I’m not doing the TV show, I’ve got lots of time to work out.”
