Out with the old and in with the new! Here are the fading and flourishing TV Trends of the New Year.

And the first casualty of the fall season is the CW‘s The Beautiful Life.It was announced over the weekend, but in case you haven‘t heard yet, the network has cancelled the Ashton Kutcher-produced drama after only two episodes in the air.  Audiences weren‘t flocking to the series, with only 1.1 million people tuning in to the second episode.  Never mind that series star Mischa Barton gave the show a surprise publicity boost through her medical problems early this year.

Blonde Charity Mafia follows the lives of three gorgeous twenty-something, alpha girls of Washington, D.C.  Taking control of the scene is what they‘ve set out to do, whether it‘s socially or professionally.  No obstacle is big enough for these ladies, who call themselves the "Blonde Charity Mafia."
