Secondhand embarrassment hasn’t come fast enough than with the viewing of Rachel Bilson rapping in a Funny or Die video.
Rachel Bilson rapping? It’s just as bad as it sounds. The actress shouts in an undicipherable accent in response to the criticism her show Hart of Dixie’s character is unbelievable as a doctor, “Haters get two words: Doogie Howser.” Then she goes on to list all the designer names her character wears in exchange for rapper bling.
The Hart of Dixie star isn’t the first to make fun of herself through a rap or two. The difference is the stars before her could surprisingly rap pretty well. It was disarmingly charming to see Natalie Portman rap about drinking and getting high at Harvard in the 2006 digital skit for SNL. Even watching Anne Hathaway rip into a song a la ‘Lil Wayne was pretty entertaining.
She continues by taking a dig into former The O.C. co-star Mischa Barton, who’s show, The Beautiful Life , was cancelled by the same network that’s home to Bilson’s show, The CW.
“Summer Roberts back up on the track again/ Peaced out of ‘The O.C.’, Ben and Brody, deuces!/ Did a couple movies, drank a couple juices!/ Still they comin’ at me, like ‘Where ya been?’/ You should be askin’ Mischa Barton!”
Wondering who wrote this hit of a song? Well, it was none other than the other talented Hart of Dixie co-stars Scott Porter and Wilson Bethel.
