Demi Moore cast in 'The Beautiful Life'

Rex Features

Demi Moore has landed a role in new CW drama The Beautiful Life.

The show, co-created by Moore's husband Ashton Kutcher, focuses on a group of models living together in New York. The actress will play a ex-model based on Janice Dickinson.

A source told The Mail On Sunday: "Demi has turned down a lot of TV shows over the years, including Ugly Betty.

"But she completely trusts Ashton.

"The plan is for her to play a recurring guest role so that she can keep coming back."

The insider added: "It would be bad for her career if it doesn't do well."

Mischa Barton and Elle Macpherson have also been cast in the show.
