STARS

IN: LL COOL J

The former rapper is now a bona fide action star, thanks to the smashing debut of “NCIS: Los Angeles.”

OUT: MISCHA BARTON

The former “O.C.” star can now add the season’s first cancellation, “The Beautiful Life,” to her credits.

COUPLES

IN: THE DRAPERS

Don and Betty give us the kind of glamour real stars can’t muster.

OUT: THE GOSSELINS

Tawdry, whiny, and, now, really unpopular.
