Bueller?) is Ricki Lake's hubby in ABC's The Middle.• Jonathan Chase (Veronica Mars' Josh) and Kyle Bornheimer (Blades of Glory) have boarded the CW's Dash 4 Cash.• Dana Ivey (Oz) is on hand for The Return of Jezebel James (Fox).• NBC's Area 52 is now titled Area 57, in a crafty if not blatant bid to suck up to ketchup enthusiasts.All the above is courtesy of Variety and the Reporter, but never, ever from News of the World.
