OK, so it's not George Clooney returning, but the former Tony Blundetto — aka Steve Buscemi — will make an appearance on ER's 14th season finale, airing May 15. Atoning, we pray, for I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, Buscemi plays "a loudmouthed drunk with a dangerous secret." And since this emergency room is often as dangerous as a cage-fighting venue, he'll "threaten the safety" of the hospital staff and make Pratt "choose between the life of a patient or the lives of his staff."Elsewhere in the season-ender, maybe-homewrecker Moretti (Stanley Tucci) — will Luka find out he did the dirty with Abby? — makes a return visit, as does Hal Holbrook's wise old geezer. — Ileane Rudolph

Is NBC's 30 Rock at risk of going the way of stunt-casting addict Will & Grace?

While Rescue Me's Sheila tends to her "new" baby, Callie Thorne is minding another young-'un — as manager to a hard-partying starlet (Alison Lohman) in the comedy Delirious, hitting theaters today and centered around Steve Buscemi's sad-sack paparazzo. TVGuide.com met with Thorne to discuss her new film, and also get her take on Rescue Me's wild stories.
TVGuide.com: You were a big ol' tease a few weeks back on Rescue Me with that bath-towel scene, almost showing us your naughty bits!Callie Thorne: Wasn't that crazy? It was my idea.... No, no, it wasn't. But that's the fun part sometimes, because you know you can't show everything, so there's no fear. If we were on HBO and they were asking me to do something else, that's when you get scared. It's interesting because on FX you can show the sides [of naked torsos] and you can show the backsides of both men and women, but, of course, no frontal nudity. Yet th
