MISS PATTI WOULD BE THRILLED: We didn't note when ABC Family picked up the Amy Sherman-Palladino/Sutton Foster series
Bunheads (likely to begin this summer), despite
much interest when the pilot was announced, but we are obliged to note that
Kelly Bishop has agreed to recur as Foster's character's mother-in-law, who it's safe to presume will be imperious and disapproving.
