Rupert wants to get a younger audience to start watching shows like “Prison Break” and “Bones,” which will now be aired also on Myspace.com

“It is very important to me to try to keep relationships as private as possible,” said Bilson, who dates her OC co-star Adam Brody.

“Your personal life is the one thing you have for yourself because you are out there for the world to see. People think they know you and everything, so to have that to yourself is very important.”

“they can say whatever and they can pick you apart and they can be hurtful. That is why you really have to have a strong energy and try to not pay attention.”

Once rumored to be playing Wonder Woman, ‘O.C.’ and Last Kiss star Rachel Bilson is substituting teleportation for a flying jet. Variety says she’s on board the upcoming Doug Liman directed sci-fi pic Jumper with Hayden Christensen and Samuel L. Jackson.

She arrives to replace Teresa Palmer, who’s leaving because they want to rewrite the part as someone older. Apparently they’re shooting for age 25 instead of age 20. That’s odd since while Bilson is technically about five years older than Palmer, she’s spent most of her career playing much younger roles.

The movie is the first part in what 20th Century Fox hopes will be a trilogy, the story of a young man who discovers he has teleportation powers. The NSA gets interested and another guy with the same ability chases after him.

Feel like you can’t get enough of the O.C., now you can drink it with…..O.C. Energy drinks launching this week. Supposely a number of celebs and moms from The Real Housewives of Orange County show and OC Angels (???) will be at the launch in Newport Beach. The owner of the company says “we’ve separated ours from the rest with healthful, extraordinary energy drinks and water designed to refresh the body and soul with OC style, great taste and a bit of attitude.”
