EXCLUSIVE: It’s an O.C. reunion at NBC! The O.C. creator/executive producer Josh Schwartz has a hot new hourlong project in the works, which will star O.C. alumna Rachel Bilson. After a heated bidding, the show, a supernatural romantic comedy titled Ghost Angeles, has landed at NBC with a pilot production commitment, a rare feat for a project that has not been written yet. Schwartz and Henry Alonso Myers (Ugly Betty) co-created Ghost Angeles and will write it together. Details on the project are being kept under wraps but, according to a concept circulated around, it centers on a young woman in Los Angeles who can talk to the dead, helping the spirits as much as they are helping her. Ghost Angeles hails from Fake Empire, Schwartz’s recently launched company with Stephanie Savage, and Warner Bros. TV where the company is based with a five-year deal. Schwartz, Myers, Savage and Fake Empire’s Leonard Goldstein are executive producing. In its first development season, Fake Empire has already sold 2 projects, Ghost Angeles and an ensemble show about young people in DC from writer Will Fetters, which is set up at ABC. Ghost Angeles marks the first hourlong project created by Schwartz in 4 years, since he sold Chuck, co-written with Chris Fedak, to NBC and Gossip Girl, co-penned with Savage, to the CW in 2006. It also extends Schwartz’s relationship with NBC where Schwartz’s spy dramedy Chuck just kicked off its fourths season.
The O.C. marked a career breakthrough for both Schwartz, who at the time became the youngest TV series creator, and Bilson, who had only done small guest roles until then. Bilson’s character on the show, Summer Roberts, was also originally written as guest star but, after it popped, she was made a series regular, and Summer’s romance with Seth Cohen (Adam Brody) became one of O.C.’ key plotlines. Bilson, who is friends with Schwartz and his wife (she served as maid of honor at their wedding), did an arc on the first season of Schwartz’s NBC dramedy Chuck. Bilson, whose feature credits include Jumper and New York I Love You, guest starred on the season premiere of CBS’ How I Met Your Mother last week, reprising her role as a love interest for Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor) from the show’s 100th episode last season. Myers is currently a consulting producer on Chuck.
This leather and diamond bracelet designed by InStyle contributor Rachel Bilson not only looks good, it does good too! Last December, Bilson traveled to Botswana and South Africa to report on the improvements diamond mining has made in the lives of the people there. Wanting to do what she could to help, Bilson created this bracelet, sold exclusively through InStyle.com. It retails for $100, with $20 from each sale going to the non-profit Diamond Empowerment Fund (DEF). Money raised will help purchase additional student housing for the CIDA City Campus in Johannesburg, Africa’s first practically free university.
Purchase the bracelet at Macy’s and view the video at InStyle.
Rachel Bilson will be back for more.
The starlet announced at yesterday’s InStyle and Diamond Information Center’s luncheon that she has signed on for a second year as a columnist for the magazine.
Could Rachel Bilson be the mother of Ted Mosby’s future children?
The actress, best known for her portrayal of Summer Roberts on “The O.C.” has been cast in the 100th episode of “How I Met Your Mother,” sparking debate over whether she may or may not be the famed mother. Fans of the series may find this song-and-dance to be familiar, as previous guest stars Sarah Chalke and Jamie-Lynn Sigler provoked similar discussion.
Bilson will be playing a love interest to Mosby (Josh Radnor). Though Bilson’s reps have confirmed the news, they won’t offer much information on her role except to say that as of now, the character is not recurring.
She’ll be joined by “Project Runway” mentor Tim Gunn. Chicago Tribune’s Maureen Ryan reports that Gunn will guest star as a “personal tailor/ fashion consultant as Barney tries to fix a major league “suit catastrophe” according to series co-creator Craig Thomas. “Tim is basically like Barney’s ER physician for a serious suit emergency.”
Thomas and “Mother” co-creator Carter Bays have previously said that the 100th episode will bring Ted closer to meeting the mother than he’s ever been before. “How I Met Your Mother” is famous for its fake-outs, so we’ll all have to wait and see.
It seems that there’s a lot in store for the centennial episode — in addition to Bilson’s appearance, fans can expect a much-anticipated musical number from the multitalented Neil Patrick Harris.
Rachel has snagged an awesome new job!
Former “The O.C.” star Rachel Bilson has been hired as In Style magazine’s new fashion advice columnist.
The actress will front a monthly column beginning with the upcoming May issue of the publication.
According to WWD.com, Bilson will answer readers’ style questions and reveal some of her favorite trends.
In her first column, she’ll list her favorite spring style brands, including Lanvin sandals and Matta scarves.
Bilson says, “I’m not planning on quitting my day job to be a full-time fashion editor, although I am really enjoying it and it intrigues me very much. I’m actually flattered more than anything that people want to ask me questions about style. I am honored to do it.”
Considering how stylish Rachel is, this sounds like a perfect fit for her! What do you all think?
