Rachel Bilson is scheduled to attend the 2011 Teen Choice Awards in a couple of weeks! The event will take place and air live on Sunday, August 7 at 8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed on FOX!
TEEN CHOICE 2011 celebrates the hottest teen icons in film, television, music, sports and fashion. Justin Bieber, Rebecca Black, John Cena, Zooey Deschanel, Ashley Greene, Joe Jonas, Ashton Kutcher, Taylor Lautner, Katie Leclerc and Mike “The Miz” Mizanin join previously announced participants Tyra Banks, Jason Bateman, Kirsten Bell, Rachel Bilson, Cat Deeley, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Gillian Jacobs, Tyler Posey, Maggie Q, Avril Lavigne, Kellan Lutz, Vanessa Marano, Joel McHale, Nikki Reed, Zoe Saldana and Taylor Swift. The special will also feature performances by will.i.am and Jason Derülo.
Already boasting a massive cast, the upcoming high concept comedy “The To Do List” (previously known as “The Hand Job”) has now added two more its ranks.
The Playlist has confirmed that Clark Gregg—best known as Agent Coulson from the Marvel movie franchise—and Rachel Bilson (Summer Roberts from “The O.C.”) have come aboard the film. Starring “Parks and Recreation” star Aubrey Plaza, Bill Hader, Andy Samberg, Alia Shawkat, Mae Whitman, Johnny Simmons, Donald Glover, Connie Britton, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Scott Porter, D.C. Pierson and Dominic Dierkes the film follows a studious, A-type who has recently graduated from high school but remains sexually inexperienced. Before hitting college, she decides she’s going to check off every possible sex act and embarks on an adventure like no other with goals on her list including hand-job, titty-fuck, blow-job, fingering…you get the idea. Naturally, her friends are naturally shocked by her sudden and somewhat agressive quest.
The was written and will be directed by comic Maggie Carey (who is also Hader’s wife) with Plaza in the lead, Britton as her liberal, free-spirited mother; Porter will take on the role of a grunge rocker Plaza has a crush on, Simmons will be a classmate and Mintz-Plasse his sci-fi dork best bud. Dierkes, Pierson and Glover will play a trio of lifeguards while Hader will play a stoned pool manager. No official word yet on Gregg and Bilson’s roles, but it’s likely they’re slotted in as Plaza’s conservative father and older sister respectively—the two remaining parts that needed to be filled.
Filming is likely to kick off soon as a good chunk of the cast will be returning to their TV shows this fall (”Saturday Night Live,” “Community,” “Parks & Recreation” etc). No release date yet, but 2012 looks likely.
TV Line has some new scoop about TV shows and one of them mentions that Rachel Bilson might be returning to “How I Met Your Mother” this coming season!
Question: I know she’s got a new show on The CW, but any chance Rachel Bilson will pop back up on How I Met Your Mother next season? —Jen
Ausiello: Network and studio bosses have been playing nice in recent years when it comes to sharing talent, so if HIMYM wanted her for another guest stint I imagine they’d probably be able to get her. THIS JUST IN: HIMYM wants her! “She’s still the roommate of the mother from the title of the series,” reminds exec producer Craig Thomas. “We didn’t establish her lightly. We definitely intend to show how she’s part of Ted’s link to finding the mother.”
Sunglass Hut is banking on Rachel Bilson’s influence as a global phenomenon. The petite, pretty girl is already the style director for the shady brand, but her role has been bumped to reach countries including the U.K., China, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, China and the Philippines via in-store imagery and possible appearances.
Bilson also blogs for the brand, answering reader questions and playing interviewer. Sunglass hut is slated to have 4,000 stores by 2015, which is, um, a lot. Bilson was hired as style director, according to Sunglass Hut chief executive officer Fabio d’Angelantonio because of her love of sunglasses, his familiarity with her as Summer Roberts and the fact that people cried when they met her at the opening of the 5th Avenue Flagship opening. Cried.
The Mark Abrahams shot ads featuring the actress in an array of sunglasses will appear in store, on the blog and in window displays. Of course, the Bilson looks very pretty in the ads. She tells WWD that she likes in-store appearances best about her new job, “People are just so responsive and excited that I’m there to talk about sunglasses. It is very flattering if anyone wants my opinion on anything, so I think it’s fun. It is more about getting to meet people and talk to them about all sorts of stuff.”
The CW today was the first broadcast network to announce its fall premiere dates! “Hart of Dixie” is set to premiere Monday, September 26th at 9:00pm on the CW! Make sure you mark your calendars and tune in!
