Although it had been 18 months since we last left Jack Bauer (longer than the writers’ strike itself), fans still cared enough to welcome 24 back. Even though it was down 23% from Season 6’s debut, last night’s two-hour “bridge” movie - with help from an earlier football overrun - gave FOX wins in the viewers and the demos.

    Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, Video

    Nicole Richie on Chuck

    She may be a new mom, but she still knows how to get dirty.

    On next week’s Chuck, shows us that she’s come a long way since her bleach pouring days on The Simple Life. In the episode, Nicole plays Heather Chandler (Heathers, anyone?) a former high school rival of Sarah’s.

    Unfortunately for Walker, the CIA agent is forced to attend a conveniently-timed high school reunion to deal with a person who just happens to be married to Richie. She is also forced to deal with the awkward memories she tried so hard to leave behind.

    You can see several of the upcoming scenes - including one where Paris Hilton’s former/current BFF kicks ass - after the jump.
