At last we can E-Bay our O.C. DVDs, as the show’s hottest hottie readies to return to the small screen. The actress and Maxim’s Hot 100 fixture announced recently that her return to the boob tube would not be on the CW's re-make of the ‘90s nighttime soap Melrose Place as first rumored. Instead the British-born bombshell is jumping on board the Ashton Kutcher train, who’s producing another CW show, A Beautiful Life.

Barton told People.com that she's set to play Sonia, “a bitchy model-type character,” in the show. Until we can get our hands on photos of her acting all bitchy in a supermodel sort of way, we’ll have to enjoy photos of her acting all hot in a sexy Maxim sort of way.
