Nicole Richie's providing some fresh meat for Chuck.

NBC just confirmed that Richie will be popping into the spy series for an episode in which she plays the former high school nemesis of resident babe Sarah, played by Yvonne Strahovski. (So very Lohan on Betty, right?) Richie plays a "snarky and spiteful girl who tortured Sarah," and something tells me she's gonna so regret that when she sees that Sarah can split hairs with a Ninja knife. (Hooray for catfights!)

"Nicole auditioned for the part and was very funny," says Chuck boss Josh Schwartz. "This role is a great opportunity for her to show off her comedic skills and be diabolically evil and kick some butt."
