Rachel Bilson Claims Parents Prevented Ego Expansion With Chores and Humble Pie

Rachel Bilson is finally coming clean about the harrowing ordeal of being raised by people who didn't think she was the center of the universe. Apparently, while the rest of us were treating Summer Roberts like she invented the concept of a cute shrug, Bilson’s parents were busy making her do things like 'dishes' and 'respecting curfew.' The audacity of some people, honestly. She recently spilled that her folks’ grounded approach is the only reason she isn’t currently demanding that her coffee be served at exactly 104 degrees by a professional fan-wafter. While other starlets were out there buying pet tigers and gold-plated pagers, Rachel was stuck in the living room being told that she’s 'just Rachel.' Gross. It turns out that having a healthy relationship with fame is just code for 'my mom didn't let me wear my sunglasses inside the house.' Bilson credits this upbringing for keeping her head from floating off her neck like a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day balloon. We’re glad she’s well-adjusted, but we personally think she earned at least one diamond-encrusted tiara for surviving those O.C. fashion trends.
