Rachel Bilson single again

The actress who was dating Hayden Christensen since the two acted together in the 2008 movie Jumper, has broken off her engagement with him. According to People magazine, distance was reportedly one of the main reasons for the split and Rachel will now be focusing on her work. Her upcoming movies include Waiting for Forever with Nikki Blonsky and Blythe Danner, due out later this year, and New York, I Love You releasing next month. In this movie Bilson will costar with her ex Hayden, and stars like Orlando Bloom, Shia Labeouf, Bradley Cooper and Blake lively.

Talking to the magazine about her favorite labels and sense of style Rachel Bilson said: "Rag & Bone — I love their shoes! I always go to Isabel Marant whenever I am in Paris and Vanessa Bruno. I love finding stuff that is less known, you know? But then there are the classics. I am a Chanel girl until I die. I have a real Chanel wedding dream wish. I guess a girl can dream."

Rachel Bilson became popular as Summer Roberts in the long-running TV show The OC and says: "I do miss Summer terribly. The OC was the most phenomenal time. I saw Mischa at Cannes, but I miss everyone from the show." Rachel has since appeared as a guest star on TV shows like Chuck and How I Met You Mother; she will reprise her role of graduate student Cindy in the latter show this September.



Rachel Bilson in workout clothes going for a brisk walk. Rachel told Seventeen Magazine, "I like Yoga and I do it every so often. Walking my dog and going for walks -- it's a good thing." The actress who will turn 29 on 25 August, does not like the obsession with the weight and body image of celebrities because of the wrong message it sends to young girls: "It's not what young girls should be stressing about. They look up these actresses and read about plastic surgery and what they do and don't eat." Easy for her to say! The 5'2" tall Rachel Bilson has always been naturally slim and yet does not forget to workout. I think it's good for girls to workout and be mindful of what they eat, because obesity has become an epidemic from all our junk food and lack of exercise. Is it wrong to seek inspiration and advice from celebrity icons?
