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.
Nicole Richie: Another Dose of Traffic School
Nicole Richie: Another Dose of Traffic School
As part of the sentence for her DUI conviction, Nicole Richie was spotted out for her weekly traffic school stop in Van Nuys on Wednesday (June 18).
Accompanied by her regular driver, the former “Simple Life” star wore her hair in cute Heidi braids and toted a Starbucks coffee in hand as she entered the building for the day’s lessons.
Meanwhile, Nicole’s “Simple Life” co-star Paris Hilton recently shot down rumors that she and Ms Richie are planning a double wedding with their respective Madden brothers.
“I’ve heard that rumor,” Hilton said. “But no, I think we both want to have separate weddings.”
But the two will be spending a lot more time together, as Paris told Ryan Seacrest: “We’re all going on tour this summer, so I’m really excited about that.”

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden Cheer On Lakers
Joining a star-studded crowd at the Staples Center on Sunday night, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden showed up to cheer the Los Angeles Lakers to a Game 5 win over the Boston Celtics.
Besides checking out the local sports scene, the former Simple Life star and her Good Charlotte rocker beau have been the focus of wedding rumors - which Joel recently spoke up about.
Madden, 30, posted a joking message on his blog over the weekend, which read: “WE DID IT!! NICOLE AND I FINALLY GOT MARRIED!! for pictures!!”
Spoofing a false report from Star magazine, which claimed that he was planning a $2 million wedding, Joel continued: “HAHA. JUST KIDDING. So I feel really stupid even posting this, but I’ve been getting calls and texts from my family all week asking me why they weren’t invited to my wedding.”
“I guess the only answer I could give them was that I didn’t know we were having one!” he added. “So I just found that Star magazine wrote some story about a 2 MILLION dollar wedding we are supposed to be having, and that’s where it came from. Sooooo if you were pi–ed at me for not inviting you or even telling you, don’t blame me, there’s nothing to worry about,” Madden wrote. “It’s just Star magazine. How long do you think it will be before they write we called it off, or we broke up? I give them a week or two…….”
