In a new interview, Rachel chatted about the differences between Zoe (her “Hart of Dixie” character) and Summer Roberts, her Orange County role.

After an intricate evaluation of the scene of death had been fulfilled, Amy Winehouse's body was removed from her home in Camden Town, London, UK on Saturday evening.
Wrapped in a maroon bodybag, the late "Rehab" singer was loaded into an ambulance to be transported to a local medical facility in research of an autopsy scheduled to take place on Sunday, July 24th.
Among those on the scene aside from medical personnel and law enforcement were Miss Winehouse's most recent beau, Reg Traviss, who was seen departing the scene in the midst of the inquiry.
Also on the grounds was Amy's bodyguard, with news telling that he was taken into custody for questioning - though all current details indicate that foul play has been ruled out as a probable cause of death.
Truly heartbreaking reports, Winehouse's father, Mitch, has flown back to the UK to be with the family during these tragic times - as he was situated in NYC while preparing for a performance at the Blue Note jazz club on Monday (which has since been canceled).
Showing up to plug their forthcoming flick, the stars of “Immortals” were spotted at the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con today.

To kick things off, as the wonderful cast took the stage. Director Tarsem Singh as a joke said that "we don't have enough good-looking public up here."
During the conversations, Miss Pinto confessed that her preferred part of making the warrior flick was "watching the men," as she pointed out that "Immortals" is one of the few films where the guys are more scantily clad than the ladies.
Meanwhile, Mr Lutz dished that "The Little Mermaid" is his favorite film, as he explained that his love of the classic tale helped prep his for his role as Poseidon, the "king of the wetness."
As for the plotline, “Immortals” is a 3D epic tale following King Hyperion and Heraklion as they rampage across Greece in search of the long lost Bow of Epirus, which will make them bright to overthrow the Gods of Olympus.

Candice newly admitted, “Lately I’ve been eating whatever I want. When I was younger it used to affect me a lot more, I would think it in my face, but as I’m older I can eat whatever I want. To feel good and healthy I eat a lot of vegetables, drink a lot of water, and I eat a lot of meat like steak because I want to build muscle.”
And while she's been eating healthy most days, she also admitted that she never deprives herself. “I’ll indulge in pasta, pizza and lots of yummy things,” Candice dished.
