| Alec Baldwin: I Do Want To Run For Public Office Posted: 25 Jan 2012 06:06 PM PST Alec Baldwin still wants to run for office. Which office and when, however, is entirely up in the air. The “30 Rock” star has long flirted with a political campaign. In a new interview with Piers Morgan set to air on Wednesday, Baldwin says he wants to run but pushes a potential campaign back a few years, saying that he still plans on acting for a while and that two years is an eternity in politics. “In that amount of time, maybe in the not too distant future, I’ll survey that again and think, is there an opportunity for me?” he tells the host. “Because in New York for example, we have safe Democratic seats around the horn to so speak, it’s the governor and the AG [attorney general] and the two senate seats, so what I would run for and when it would be [is] something I’d have to give a lot of thought.” Over the summer, the actor said that he was thinking of running for Mayor of New York City, but sometime after 2013 due to his acting commitments and his desire to learn more about the responsibilities of the office. In 2009, Baldwin offered himself as a potential candidate against Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman, a Democrat-turned-independent who has long frustrated liberals. Baldwin in late 2010 mused about a Congressional run from his home of Long Island, and said that an Ohio law firm offered to move him out to the state and help him run for governor. In December, he said on his WNYC podcast that he was no longer interested in running. WATCH:

| Actor Nicol Williamson Dies at 75 Posted: 25 Jan 2012 06:06 PM PST  Stage and film star Nicol Williamson has died, he was 75. Best known for his role as Merlin in the 1981 John Boorman film “Excalibur,” he endured a two-year battle with esophageal cancer. Some of his other notable credits include a Tony-winning role in John Osborne’s “Inadmissible Evidence” and a highly acclaimed title role performance in “Hamlet” for director Tony Richardson. The unpredictable English actor, who was in the same company as Peter O’Toole and Albert Finney, earned raves for the intensity he brought to his roles, but failed to reach international fame due to his erratic behavior, which scared off many film and theater producers. Among Williamson’s more colorful antics, he hit his “I Hate Hamlet” co-star Evan Handler with a sword on stage, causing the “Californication” actor to quit the play — which created a tabloid frenzy.

| On the Set Farewell to Chuck Part 4: The Nerd Legacy Posted: 25 Jan 2012 06:06 PM PST
After five seasons of Chuck peppered with Subway sandwich campaigns and eleventh-hour renewals, it’s clear that the spy series owes much of its life to its passionate fan base. Check out photos from Chuck through the years “It’s funny being on this show because it’s such an — I don’t know if the word is ‘honor’ — to be a part of a show where the fans were so behind it because it’s so mysterious,” actor Vik Sahay told reporters at the set visit for Chuck‘s two-hour series finale (Friday, 8/7c, NBC). “It’s so elusive how things connect with fans because you can kind of take all of the pieces of why it should and put them together and it often doesn’t. So that kind of alchemy between the show and the fans is stunning. It’s what’s allowed the producers to create the show that they created. It’s something that I’ve never experienced before, and it’s so moving, and I don’t know if I’ll ever get a chance to experience that kind of back and forth again.”
