Nicole Richie Takes On “Chuck” Role
Nicole Richie Takes On “Chuck” Role
Escorted by her usual driver/handler, Nicole Richie continued along with her responsible ways by attending her weekly traffic school session on Wednesday (June 25).
And there’s good news coming out of the Richie camp, as the people at NBC have announced to People magazine that the former Simple Life star will be taking on a guest role on the sitcom Chuck.
According to the station’s reps, “Richie will play a snarky and spiteful girl who tortured actress Yvonne Strahovski’s character in high school. In the episode, airing sometime this fall, Strahovski’s character, Special Agent Sarah Walker, must face her fears when she is forced to attend her 10-year high school reunion, for a mission with costar Zachary Levi (Chuck) as her date.”
Executive producer Josh Schwartz seems excited about having Ms Richie on the set, telling press: “Nicole auditioned for the part and was very funny. This role is a great opportunity for her to show off her comedic skills and be diabolically evil and kick some butt. It’s going to be really fun.”
Nicole Richie to guest star on Chuck
This fall Special Agent Sarah Walker will get a blast from the past as she attends her ten-year high school reunion and comes face-to-face with her old nemesis. Nicole Richie will play a spiteful and sarcastic character who tortured the special agent for years. Sarah Walker has to go to the reunion for a mission; her date, of course, is Chuck.
Executive producer Josh Schwartz says Nicole Richie is actually quite funny: “Nicole auditioned for the part and was very funny. This role is a great opportunity for her to show off her comedic skills and be diabolically evil and kick some butt.”
This is not Nicole Richie’s first guest starring role. The Simple Life star has appeared on 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter and American Dreams. Richie was recently featured on the cover of both People and Harper’s Bazaar. She is launching a jewelry ling this fall called House of Harlow 1960.
I’m skeptical. I like Nicole Richie better than Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. But I fear it will take more this for Richie to be elevated out of the “people who really shouldn’t be famous” category. What do you think?
Chuck will air Mondays from 8 to 9 p.m. ET / PT on NBC this fall.

Fresh off of a breakup, Kate Hudson spent Saturday turning back the clock, as she was spotted attending her 10th anniversary High School reunion.
The 28-year-old actress caught up with fellow Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences alum, including pro basketball player Baron Davis.
The “You, Me and Dupree” star looked to be in high spirits, despite just recently splitting up with short-time flame, Dax Shepard.
According to a source for the New York Daily News, “They weren’t working out, and she got bored. She’s telling people it’s a clean break.”
Eva Longoria’s Media Blitz
Eva Longoria’s Media Blitz
With her new movie “Over Her Dead Body” coming out today, Eva Longoria has been busy doing promotion. And last night, the Desperate Housewife was over at the Ed Sullivan Theater, hanging out with David Letterman on The Late Show.
Eva showed what a truly nice person she is by braving the cold and spending time signing autographs for fans, as well as posing for pictures.
Earlier in the day, Longoria paid a visit to Good Morning America and the ‘Live with Regis and Kelly’ set, chatting about everything from the writers’ strike to married life.
She told Regis and Kelly, “Since the strike, I’ve been home. It was perfect timing, because we just got married.”
But because of the strike, she hasn’t seen much of her Desperate Housewives co-stars. Eva said she enjoyed attending the SAG awards because it put her back in touch with her friends. “It was like a high school reunion because I hadn’t seen anybody in months.”
