Nicole Richie to guest star on NBC's 'Chuck'; episode to air in fall
NEW YORK - As Paris Hilton's sidekick on "The Simple Life," Nicole Richie showed a flair for comedy - and an impish glee at cracking jokes at others' expense.
The 26-year-old celebutante will again display a caustic streak in an upcoming guest spot on NBC's "Chuck," portraying the mean-spirited high school nemesis of undercover CIA agent Sarah Walker (Yvonne Strahovski).
In the episode, which will air this fall, Sarah must confront Richie's character when she is forced to attend her 10-year high school reunion for a mission with fellow agent Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi) as her date.
"Nicole auditioned for the part and was very funny," executive producer Josh Schwartz said in a statement Wednesday. "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."
She has previously guest starred on TV's "American Dreams" and "8 Simple Rules ... for Dating My Teenage Daughter."
Richie and her beau, Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden, welcomed daughter Harlow Winter Kate Madden in January.

Sheen Urges The Elderly To Get Active
Martin Sheen is urging his fellow pensioners to find ways to help others in an effort to end the trend of the elderly drinking themselves to death. The actor, 68, is staggered by statistics about the rise in alcoholism among retired people and, as an active member of Alcoholics Anonymous, he's determined to make a change. Sheen tells the new issues of America's Aarp magazine for the elderly he believes many retirees turn to booze when loved ones die and they find themselves feeling lonely. He says, "Suddenly they're alone; they spiral much quicker. "What revives so many elderly and people who have lost spouses is getting back in there. Go back and serve, teach, find people who need your help. "When you become disconnected, you get farther and farther from the shore, and you don't realise how far you've drifted, and then suddenly you're in the deep water and you're alone."

Red tape sees Kiwi rockers rolled out of UK
New Zealand band Opshop have been kicked out of Britain, but for red tape not rock 'n' roll reasons.
Visa trouble forced them to cancel their Edinburgh show on Saturday, the first of a three-show, 10-day promotional tour, The New Zealand Herald reported.
Siren record label representative Tracy Magan said management thought Opshop could travel under the visa-waiver programme because they wouldn't be making any money during the tour.
But after rule changes the programme had "tightened up" significantly.
In the past three months there had been a 12 per cent increase in expulsions, and bands from around the world had been caught short.
Ms Magan said visas were being sorted out and the band - Jason Kerrison, Matt Treacy, Bobby Kennedy and Clint Harris - would be back in the UK by the end of the week.
Their song Maybe is the most successful of all time on New Zealand radio.

Simple Minds - Simple Minds To Hit Studio For First Time In 27 Years
Reunited rockers SIMPLE MINDS are set to record together for the first time in 27 years - as part of their 30th anniversary celebrations.
Founding members Brian MCGee, Derek Forbes and Mick MCNeil will join existing members Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill to play at Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday concert in London in June (08), and they hope their stage comeback will inspire them enough to record some new material.
And the band are looking to have the new songs ready for the start of their reunion tour of the U.K. later this year (08) - as a special treat for their dedicated fans.
The group's original line-up parted ways in 1991, leaving just Kerr and Burchill to continue recording under the name.
And frontman Kerr is excited about hitting the studio with the original line-up.
He says, "Of course I am excited with the prospect of working with the original line - up once more. I had always believed that the day would come when we would get the opportunity to do so.
"We have a lot to live up to, but we intend to have some fun attempting to do just that."
The Simple Minds tour kicks off in Manchester, England on 27 November (08).

Grant Threatens Paparazzo
Actor Hugh Grant came close to losing his temper with the paparazzi on Saturday when he reportedly threatened to throw one photographer through a window. The star, 47, was caught leaving London nightclub Nam Long-Le Shaker with a mystery woman in the early hours when he spotted the snappers taking his photo. Enraged by their presence, he allegedly raged to one paparazzo: "How about I push you through that window?" But Grant apparently lost his nerve and turned to run off - abandoning the leggy brunette outside the club.

One of Italy's to the highest degree ambitious toilsome metal bands, Padova's Ephel Duath coalesce the realms of end, black, and progressive metal (think Cynic meets Solefald), and were founded in 1998, ab initio as a studio apartment figure, by the multi-talented pair of Davide Tiso (vocals, guitars, keyboards) and Giuliano Mogicato (vocals, guitars, basso). After marketing over 1,000 copies of their "Opera" demonstration (and topping MP3.com's wakeless metallic element charts with over 20,000 free downloads!), the geminate released 2000's anything merely formulaic Phormula to match amounts of raving and panning (but never less than amazed) reviews -- later augmenting and reissuing it as Rephormula later sign language with Earache Records subsidiary Elitist. Ephel Duath's side by side feat was 2003's wildly eclectic The Painters Palette, which arguably took even greater creative risks by incorporating electronics and loose malarkey, among other sonic accents. But, like its 2005 follow-up, Pain Necessary to Know, it found Tiso encircled by new collaborators, vocalists Luciano George Lorusso and Davide Tolomei, bassist Fabio Fecchio, and drummer Davide Piovesan, Mogicato having touched on to shape with Fields of Asphodel.
Tom Cruise’s Adolf Hitler film pushed back — again
Tom Cruise’s Adolf Hitler film, Valkyrie, has been pushed back yet again — and has this time been postponed until 2009.
The film, which tells the story of the 1944 assassination plot against Hitler, was initially postponed from summer 2008 to this fall; and is now not expected to appear until next year.
“We were originally expecting the film to be released in June,” said a senior executive at one of Britain’s leading cinema chains.
“I know there have been all sorts of problems with this production and we will not be screening it at all this year.”
