James Spader's stay at The Office will be short.
NBC said on Monday that the actor, who appeared in last season's finale and more this year as the oddball boss Robert California, won't be back next year. NBC sought his star power to help make up for the absence of Steve Carell, who left the comedy early last year.

Picasso's Guernica undergoes medical check
Pablo Picasso's Guernica is getting a full health check as it marks its 75th anniversary.
A giant robotic machine is taking thousands of microscopic shots of the black-and-white anti-war masterpiece to allow experts to penetrate the work like never before.
Every night after Madrid's Reina Sofia museum – where Guernica is housed – shuts its doors, "Pablito" as the robotic mechanism has been dubbed, is dragged out to painstakingly scan the masterpiece all night, slowly compiling photographic DNA, allowing analysts to see even air bubbles and scratches undetectable by the human eye.
