Former THE O.C. star RACHEL BILSON suffered every tourist's worst nightmare in Egypt over the weekend when she arrived in Egypt without her luggage.

The pretty star's belongings were lost en route to the Middle East, where she is promoting new sci-fi film Jumper this week.

She says, "I think they were holding my stuff hostage because they knew some clothes, maybe, were a little nice... I got it at five in the morning. It was a close call."
