The nerd-spy TV series Chuck faced down cancellation and came out victorious, even adding six more episodes to the thirteen already on order for its third season. Unfortunately, there was one casualty: series star Zachary Levi was forced to turn down an offer to play Fandral, one of the “Warrior’s Three,” in director Kenneth Branagh’s live-action adaptation of the Thor comic book series, set to begin filming in January.

According to USA Weekend, the addition of six episodes caused a scheduling conflict that prevented Levi from accepting the role. Levi said that he had actually been asked to try out for the title role of the God of Thunder, as well, but declined.

I’m tall and in pretty good shape, but I’m not big and girthy like that.

Thor stars Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, and Anthony Hopkins as Thor’s father, Odin.

Katy Perry celebrates her 25th birthday with a Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory extravaganza at Sunset Beach in Hollywood on Saturday (October 24).

Guests were required to wear white to the party and left with neon paint spattered all over them. Celebs in attendance included her boyfriend Russell Brand, Taylor Swift and Julianne Hough.

Other celebs in attendance and pictured below: Chuck star Zachary Levi, Eastwick actor Matt Dallas and Joel Moore, who played Katy’s date in her “Waking Up In Vegas” music video.
