Rachel Bilson

Rachel Bilson does more than just shop at Target. She stars in one floundering TV show and one cute looking movie.

Recently, the actress sat down with Teen Vogue to talk about about The O.C. and starring in the latest Zach Braff film. )Don't worry, we didn't know there was a Teen Vogue, either.)

On The O.C.:
"I just feel like the show is over. I'm so happy for everything it brought me, and it's been such a great experience, but I think we're all ready to move on."

On being famous:
"There's this unspoken thing: ‘I know your face and your name because you're in magazines or whatever, so I'm going to say hi.' It's so funny. This thing with celebrities. I mean, I don't like to say I'm a celebrity. We don't need to go there."

On not being a tabloid cover girl:
"I'm blessed. I don't have to deal with [unwanted media attention] as much as a lot of other people."

On her new film The Last Kiss:
"I wanted to a part of something good for my first movie. I get offers for teen, O.C., typecasting kind of roles, but I decided to steer away from that. I wanted to show that I could do other things."

On making movies:
"Ideally, I just want to make movies. It's just what I've always wanted to do, and nothing would make me happier than having that chance. I love doing comedy , but I'd do drama, period pieces, anything. There's so much out that and it will be fun to be able to explore that."

Hey, that's like Lindsay Lohan's attitude when it comes to guys. Any and all guys.

We always knew we liked Rachel Bilson. She eats (for good causes) keeps inane, boring storylines alive on The OC ... and apparently shops at Target. We love Target!

Of course, Bilson is probably there because she needs to save money. Lord knows The OC can't survive past this season.

Marissa Cooper is dead. Might her friends and family be next?

As The O.C. limps into 2006-2007 on FOX, the network isn't showing very much faith in the drama. Only 16 new episodes have been ordered for the show's fourth season. The basis for this decrease in output?

It's largely the major competition that Seth, Summer and other Newport residents will be facing on Thursday nights. Aside from CSI returning to its 9 p.m. time slot, ABC has moved juggernaut, Grey's Anatomy, opposite The O.C., as well.

Combine these hits with the severe drop in ratings the FOX series faced last season - although it still averaged a respectable 5.7 million viewers a week - and there's little wonder why the show may soon be joining Marissa in entertainment heaven.

For those who still care, look for Adam Brody, Rachel Bilson and others to return on November 2, after FOX is finished airing The World Series.

The OC may suck, but one good thing appears to have come out of the one-time enjoyable FOX drama: Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody. B-squared and all its glory were on display last week at Memphis, a southernrestaurant on Hollywood Boulevard

Well-known chef, Yossi, was cooking up delights and proceeds were benefitting the Los Angeles Mission. This young, happy couple joined the festivies, along with Dustin Hoffman and former Lost castaway Michelle Rodriguez.

Bilson commented on her own culinary skills:

"I love to cook. I'm learning more and more," she said. "I've mastered turkey meatloaf recently. You gotta start somewhere, right?"

Brody will probably take any home-cooked meal he can get. Meanwhile, Bilson dished up more than mere cooking thoughts. She advised celebrity couples who wished to remain out of the spotlight with the straightforward advice of, "don't go everywhere together."

Makes sense to us. Of course, you can probably take out the last word when it comes to Britney's worse half: Just don't go anywhere, K-Fed.
