For those of you saying The Office has gone stale after eight seasons, here's some news that may change your minds...or it should, anyway. According to Vulture, British import Catherine Tate's character, Nellie, is set to become a series regular next year, after being a recurring cast member for most of last season. 

Tate will be joining the cast sans Mindy Kaling, whose new Bridget Jones-esque series The Mindy Project is set to premiere on Fox next Fall.
