My letter to Rachel Bilson:

Dear Rachel,I think you are a beautiful, beautiful lady. But then again, I think most women in your industry would fit that description. I also think that you are a very likable and personable character and I enjoyed your work on That 70s Show when I was in high school. That being said, I never expected to hear from you or see you again after that show’s cancellation. I’m sorry, by the way, if that’s like, still raw for you.Probably not though, because you have rocketed to stardom! I mean, that movie with Veronica Mars and Katy Perry’s husband was fine and you were, legitimately good in it. You were good in Academy Award nominated Black Swan, for that matter. But “good” is the key word here. In juxtaposition to Natalie Portman’s “perfect.”So, okay. Rachel, here is my question: Why do you get to be famous? Is this a matter of being easy to work with OR good representation OR looking amazing in plaid shirts OR an easy-going likability with a hint that you would maybe fuck a schlubby movie patron (even though you totally wouldn’t)? Please know that I love you. Sort of.

  1. daveshumka said: And do you have a screencap that says “message sent”? No, of course not. Coward.
  2. lonelysandwich said: So mean. That said, I’ve had this phrase in my Twitter drafts for more than a year: “You’re the Bilson to my Kunis.”

    It is difficult to not have an internet crush on this woman who I will never meet probably. (Alison, not Rachel)

    It took me 5 minutes of googling and head scratching to get this joke, and I’m OK with that.
