Bilson is this week’s guest judge on ‘Project Runway’

“Earlier this year, the folks at Project Runway promised EW that the move to L.A. would mean lots of celebrity guest judges. They’ve made good on that promise so far, and now we can add one more to the pack. Rachel Bilson, she of the formerly zeitgeisty show The O.C., will be pulling up a chair next to Nina Garcia in this Thursday’s episode. Judging by the sneak-peek photo, the petite actress loves ruffles even more than Annie Barrett and I do. (Which is saying something, believe me.) She also apparently has a penchant for busy, elegant legwear (that Mandi Bierly would like to own). Best of all, the picture proves that Bilson will be smiling 100 percent more often than this season’s first visiting critic, Lindsay Lohan, who pretty much sat in her chair scowling the whole time. That comeback tour of goodwill is working out great, Lindsay.”
