Rachel Bilson Gets Her Shopping Fix
Rachel Bilson Gets Her Shopping Fix
Getting a much-needed shopping fix, Rachel Bilson was spotted in the Meatpacking district of New York City on Tuesday morning (June 17).
Accompanied by a guy pal, the former OC babe combed the racks at shops including Alexander McQueen, Butik and Jeffery before taking a break for a bite to eat.
In related news, Rachel’s box office hit “Jumper” just came out on DVD a week ago - and she’s been busily interviewing as part of her press duties.
Recently chatting with the AP, Rachel revealed that she felt a little uncomfortable filming love scenes with co-star-turned-boyfriend Hayden Christensen in the sci-fi thriller.
“It’s always awkward and hard to film love scenes, it’s so unnatural, and it’s mechanical,” she said. “Actually Doug [Liman, director] made it very free and we went with it - and a shot of alcohol always helps ease the nerves.”
Despite the uneasiness, Rachel added that she had a wonderful time making the film with Hayden, Jamie Bell and Samuel L Jackson.
“It was so fantastic, the whole experience,” she said. “We all became close friends, but I also respect all of them as actors so I got to learn things from them. I was very fortunate.”

With her little sister Hattie in tow, Rachel Bilson attended the world premiere of the new movie “Kit Kittredge: An American Girl” at The Grove in Los Angeles on Saturday (June 14).
The former star of The OC looked to be in high spirits as she smilingly posed on the red carpet before escorting her sis and a friend in for the screening.
In related news, Rachel recently interviewed with Sun Media for a piece related to the DVD release of her hit movie Jumper (which hit stores this past Tuesday), talking about her the usually hush subject of her co-star boyfriend, Hayden Christensen.
“Hayden, he’s a real guy, a guy’s guy, but also sensitive. He’s got both going for him. Strong male characteristics but also vulnerable. You feel for him. It’s a good balance,” Bilson tells.
Explaining her position on doing a Jumper sequel, something Christensen and fellow co-star Jamie Bell have already said yes to, Rachel tells: “Yes! We’re such a good group, first of all. We had such a great time working together. And the concept is so cool and there is so much to explore with it that I think it would be fun.”
Burning Q’s: Rihanna’s Secret & Pandering Pandas
Did Rihanna write that song “Take a Bow” about Chris Brown? Did they break up?L.H.
Love that song. Just love it. Love that someone sat there, quite possibly for days, thinking of every word that rhymes with go, and then made a whole single out of it. It’s like listening to Dr. Seuss crying about a breakup.
Thing is, it wasn’t Rihanna who penned “Take a Bow.” It was Ne-Yo. In fact, Rihanna didn’t have anything to do with the lyrics at all. They were all written and done by the time she was pitched the song. “When she heard the lyrics,” a Def Jam flack tells me, “she loved it.”
And as late as yesterday, Chris Brown’s people were making it very clear that any media questions about Rihanna were off-limits. Which means they’re totally doing it.
Any more Burning Q’s? Let’s see what you got…
The movie studios’ sniveling blurb providers, oops, I mean critics, make a big deal over Kung Fu Panda not being loaded with pop culture references. Isn’t the real reason there aren’t any refs is to make sure the movie plays well in China, the home of our future overlords?K.S.
So I guess I won’t be seeing you at the Olympic torch relay in Tibet?
Any word on when the FX series Rescue Me is coming back?Brooke
Spring of next year. Writers’ strike and all this.
Now that Angelina is going to have more babies, are we going to have to hear how she and Brad actually do the work themselves? We all know the truth: They have an entire staff devoted to doing the work. Which leaves the celebs free to pose for staged parental photo ops.J. W.
I love readers who answer their own questions. They’re like self-cleaning ovens.
What’s the deal with Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson? For being big-time actors, how do they stay off magazines and TV? Or are they always being followed by paparazzi but are just too boring?Toni
Who? Sorry. I fell asleep as soon as you said Hayden Christensen.
Got a question about Hollywood? ASK IT!
Oh, and be my fan on Facebook, ’kay?
Hayden Christensen Talks Jumper 2
While on the promoting rounds for Jumper on DVD and Blue Ray Disc Hayden Christensen spoke to the Toronto Sun about whether he’d be up for a sequel.
“We’re talking about it,” the 27-year-old Canadian actor said. “I know that they’re having those conversations, I hear about them.” So would he sign on again? “Oh yeah, and I think I probably will.”
Liman originally planned a movie trilogy based on Steven Gould’s novel. Liman spun out a liberal re-imagining of Gould’s more personal story about child abuse, which had jumping as a metaphor for escape.
“It was set up to become that — a trilogy — if it did well,” Christensen added. “And I think they’re happy with how it did so they want to make another one. But I don’t think they’re rushing to get into production.”
Compared to Iron Man’s $537 million worldwide, Jumper only made $221.4 million, which is probably a reason why they are not rushing to get it out. However, it’s budget was $85 million so it did make a nice sum for FOX.
