Some stars find themselves the subject of more celebrity gossip than even we can stomach. See Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Richie, et cetera.

Others aren't talked about nearly enough. See Rachel Bilson.

When we came across these photos of Bilson at the Chateau Marmont's Kova & T Cocktail Party in L.A. yesterday evening, well, moods at the Hollywood Gossip were lifted.

Considering how extensively we used to follow her on- (and off-) screen romance with Adam Brody, we've seen hardly anything of Rachel Bilson in recent months.

Needless to say, she annihilates the waifish Mischa Barton for the Cutest OC Alum award, and even manages to give Jessica Simpson one hell of a run for her money in the "Best Looking in White T-Shirt and Jeans" category.

She also has actual talent, and, quite possibly, a brain. Sorry, Jessica, but you, those giant boobs and your lame boyfriends can't hold a candle to this cutie.

Anyway. Enjoy these Rachel Bilson pictures ...

Needless to say, if Hayden Christensen (a.k.a. Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader) is indeed dating Bilson, as was reported a while back, he is one lucky man. And a bad actor.
