'Chuck' exclusive: Nicole Richie returns to kick some [naughty word]!

Tags: , , News, Scoop

nicole-richieImage Credit: Byron Cohen/NBCI’m not the world’s biggest Nicole Richie fan, but even I have to admit that Lionel’s tabloid-friendly offspring kicked some serious ass when she guest-starred on Chuck two years ago. So it’s with great excitement that I report (exclusively!) that the sometime actress will reprise her role as Sarah’s high school nemesis this fall!

According to a Chuck insider, Richie will resurface in October when a prison transfer goes awry and her character, Heather Chandler, ends up being stowed away at Castle (a.k.a. the underground CIA base). But here’s where things get really interesting: I’m told her arrival dovetails with some serious bumps in Chuck and Sarah’s deepening relationship. And you better believe that Ms. Heather will use that rift to her advantage.

Wait, there’s more! Heather isn’t the only legendary Chuck baddie to appear in this particular episode. Click over to Ask Ausiello to learn the identity of the other evildoer. And then come back here and fill up the comments section with your thoughts!

    ASDFG!!

    • HELLO

      vI love younger men. I have dated only men at least 10 years younger and as much as 17 years younger than me for many years. I love the energy and a nice tight bod. Older men just aren’t the same, different mentality.lahh. I seem to have more in common with younger guys. They’re actually more fun and are usually more interested in me. I’m flattered. I think younger men like cougars because they have no agenda, don’t usually want to get married and are usually very independent and don’t need a man to take care of them. I meet younger men on this website:(10Year gap.com

    OMG I AM EXCITE

  • Sarah El

    Chuck’s Gallery of Rogues making a comeback in a group? SHOULD HAPPEN. EPIC.

    • May

      Yes! Having Chuck face some previous baddies (who know his secret!) would be so fun!

    • Hope

      Reminds me of the old super hero comics. EPIC.

  • Ryan

    I have to say, I never thought I’d say… but this I am excited for. Her and Ben Savage made for interesting guest stars, and one of my favorite Chuck episodes. I’m sure this will be a fun reprisal!

    • lorna

      corey matthews was on? dude i DEF gotta tune into this show. always wanted to. too many shows ugh

  • Johnification

    Angie Harmon back with some “I was wearing a vest!” line?

  • KM

    I loved Chuck vs. The Cougars so I’m expecting the same awesomeness this time around.

  • j

    Uhh where is the spoiler chat?

    • TBH

      I’m wondering the same thing!

      • HDub

        Where is this live Chat at? It better not be Shaw!

      • Mary

        According to twitter the AA is delayed due to lack of in-flight wireless connection…apparently he’s enroute to SDCC.

      • HDub

        Great… Leave us hanging lol. Shaw or Jill, that is the question. My money is on Jill to wratchet up the angst

      • Hope

        I kind of hope Shaw or Jill return. Jill was a tragic piece of work and messed up in her head and Shaw was a sadistic psychopath, one of the best villains we’ve had.

  • Josh

    While I’m nervous about Chuck and Sarah’s relationship(I hope they don’t ruin the great thing they had going with the end of season 3), but I am excited for Richie to come back. It’s shocking but she was really fantastic in her role. She was a lot of fun and nailed her part.

  • bob

    AWESOME

  • D.M.

    The casting news for Season 4 has been spectacular so far. I can’t wait to see what else the Chuck creators have up their sleeves.

  • Mary

    Hugo Panzer…that’s the knock-out pen guy! LOL Awesome!

    • HDub

      Thats cool. I am stoked for a cougars part 2. Hope this road bump is being blown out of preportion

  • Guildish

    Chuck vs The Villains Redux! Me like. Am I the only one hoping Julius (although not a villain) will also make a return appearance?!

    • Jello

      Me like too . ;) The rogue gallery is back in business. This season is going to be epic.

  • bex

    this is so awesome! heather vs. sarah part 2
    i’m so excited for season 4 of chuck!

    i wish i can go and see the chuck panel in comic con…. :(

  • Sarah

    Hell Yeah!!
    A tag team match, C/S Vs H/H .
    Wonder if anymore Villians escaped

  • lorraine

    Richie was suprisingly good in that episode and I’m excited to see her return.

    • tvgirl48

      I agree. I didn’t expect her to be so…not horrible in that episode.
