The rumor mill has been spinning lately about whether or not hot Brit Joely Richardson was permanently departing beloved trashy plastic surgery show 'Nip/Tuck' after her reduced screen time last year.  Word on the street is Richardson had to bail back to the land of tea and crumpets to be by the side of her woefully sick daughter, and many didn't know if her character (who'd moved to New York in the last season) was stepping back to the plate.  

 

Well, is, ahem, reporting that Joely has indeed signed back on to the show, and will appear in 15 of the season's 22 episodes.  Not only that, but they've bumped up her salary to nearly 100,000 dollars an episode.  Reports are saying that Richardson's daughter is doing much, much better.  Good news all around!
