“I have everything,” Pete Campbell says to himself in ‘Signal 30.’ And by the finale, the petals have certainly fallen off the rose.

All seems to be going well for him. He’s attracted to a young student in his driver’s ed class, where they both laugh at the instructional video (titled ‘Signal 30’); he feels like a handyman after he fixes a leaky faucet in the middle of the night; and Don finally “accepts” his invitation to come over for dinner (“Accepts” meaning he calls to cancel, but Trudy won’t let him out of it).

Ken, meanwhile, somewhat secretly disses Peggy at a café, where she thin...

Who is the ‘Mystery Date’ in the latest ‘Mad Men’ episode? In a way, this episode is all about strange companion pairings: Don and his former “acquaintance” Andrea; Peggy and Dawn; Sally and Henry’s mother; and, let’s say it, Joan and her husband.

Let’s start with Joan. Greg finally returns from his domestic tour, and it’s no surprise that he’s still a jerk. He’s barely acquainted with his son (well, not really his son, but you know what I mean) before he’s in the bedroom with Joan. (By the way, if she ever hosted a modern day sex talk show, not that she ever would, that would be a fitting...

Here are two words I never thought would go together on ‘Mad Men’: Fat Betty. Unseen in the season premiere, Betty has indeed plumped up. She’s clearly upset about it and doesn’t seem to know what to do with herself. Her mother unhelpfully suggests she try diet pills, while her doctor at first tells her that sudden weight gain is a common problem for bored housewives. What a simple explanation.

But then he finds a lump in Betty’s throat, and then “Betty might have thyroid cancer” lingers through the episode. In the end, she apparently finds out she doesn’t have it and tells her husband she...

"Mad Men" star Jon Hamm first arrived in Hollywood having spent his way through his last $150 - only to find he had nowhere to stay.

The actor gave up his dreams of becoming a professional sportsman and decided to give Tinseltown a shot, so he called his late mother's sister and asked her if she could put him up until he found work.

She agreed and Hamm set off from his home in Missouri in his beat-up Toyota Corolla for the cross-country trek, mapping out his route via friends' homes, so he didn't have to pay for food or accommodation.

But he didn't time his arrival well: "I pulled into t...

The return of fresh episodes of ‘NCIS’ vaulted CBS to the top of the ratings heap this week, but every network had something to cheer about. For the first time in who knows how long, each network had at least one show in the Top 7. You might guess that NBC’s top entry was ‘The Voice.’

FOX, of course, had two editions of ‘American Idol’ in the Top 5, and the return of ABC’s ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ while down from the last installment, was the Number 2 program for the week. Its performance propelled ‘Castle’ into the Top 10. Likewise, FOX’s Kiefer Sutherland drama ‘Touch’ eked out a spot i...

"Mad Men" star Jessica Pare's rendition of Gillian Hills' 1960s tune "Zou Bisou Bisou" has shot to the top of iTunes' download list after the actress performed the French pop tune on the season premiere of the hit drama on Sunday.

Pare performed the tune in character as Megan Draper at a birthday party and her version of the song, which Sophia Loren performed in "The Millionairess," was one of the most in-demand downloads on Monday.

A limited edition seven-inch single of the recording is available to fans of the show via the Mad Men website.

After shrouds of secrecy and an agonizing 17-month wait, ‘Mad Men’ returned to the airwaves on Sunday with an episode titled ‘A Little Kiss.’ And it was worth the wait for fans to pucker up.

For ‘Mad Men’ watchers wondering how far in the future the plot would pick up, the question was answered fairly quickly. At Don and Megan’s new digs, Don’s three kids sit on bar stools for breakfast. Gene looks to be about two to three, so we can guess the action is perhaps a few months to a year or so into the future.

Betty is nowhere to be seen, although Don does drop the kids off at her ginormous h...

Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner has credited a financial dispute between TV bosses which threw the future of the show into jeopardy with "rejuvenating" the hit drama.

The fifth season of the popular program, which stars Jon Hamm and January Jones, was due to start shooting last spring ahead of a summer TV debut.

However, bosses at the network behind the show, AMC, and the Lionsgate studio which makes the series struggled to agree a deal over the program, leading to lengthy production delays before it finally premiered on Sunday night.

Weiner, who offered to take a pay cut during the ne...

From the fashion to the hair, the style community is buzzing over the Season 5 premiere of "Mad Men". Starpulse caught up with "Mad Men" Hair Department Head Stylist Terrie V. Owen to get the sccop for her on-set hair how-to for achieving January Jones' signature "Betty" style.

Terrie's Recipe for Betty Draper Hair:

This style is best for shoulder length hair.

You will need:

New mother January Jones found an unusual way to boost her energy levels after giving birth - she had her placenta turned into vitamin capsules.

The Hollywood beauty gave birth to her son Xander last September, but skipped maternity leave to work on the fifth series of hit TV show Mad Men.

She now reveals she endured the busy period with the help of placenta pills.

She tells People.com, "I have a great doula (labor coach) who makes sure I'm eating well, with vitamins and teas and with placenta capsulation. Your placenta gets dehydrated and made into vitamins. It's something I was very ...

Actor Jon Hamm was once asked to father a child by a friend who was desperate to have a baby.

The Mad Men star admits he turned down the request because he was unemployed and broke at the time, even though his pal told him he wouldn't have to be a part of the youngster's upbringing.

Hamm tells Fox411, "I have actually been asked to be a father by a friend who wanted to have a kid. It was kind of weird and out-of-nowhere and I said no."

"Mainly because I was totally unemployed, and I would feel so responsible, even though they said, 'Don't worry, no strings attached.'"

Hamm has been i...

Previews for the return of Mad Men on AMC show Christina Hendricks looking silently at John Slattery. That’s certainly enough enticement to watch, but no clue as to what may be happening when we pick up Joan Holloway and Roger Sterling again.

At a cocktail reception for the Television Critics Association, Hendricks talked about the show and answered a lot of questions about her real life habits. You may be shocked to learn her simple secrets that keep her skin gorgeous, and how she spends her free time. Mad Men returns Sunday on AMC.

Q: With the changing times, how will Joan adapt?

Mad Men bosses have pulled Dusty Springfield's Burt Bacharach-penned tune "The Look Of Love" from the fifth season premiere of the hit drama - after realizing the song is out of time.

TV critics pointed out the timing error, explaining the Springfield tune wasn't released until six months after the events of the episode, which airs in on Sunday.

Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner says, "Although we take license for artistic purposes with the end-title music, we never want the source music to break from the time period we are trying to recreate."

If you’re trying to find out about the new season of Mad Men, the TV ads won’t help much. One teaser has the boys of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce discuss the preposterous notion of anti-smoking campaigns. Other spots don’t even have any dialogue.

Of course the plot details are meant to be a secret, and Jon Hamm did a good job keeping series creator Matthew Weiner’s secrets. At a cocktail reception for the Television Critics Association, Hamm joked about possible spoilers for the show’s fifth season. Mad Men returns Sunday.

Q: What can you say about the new season?

Jon Hamm: One of the th...

Jon Hamm is baffled by compliments about his good looks, insisting he's no Brad Pitt.

The "Mad Men" star has garnered a huge female fanbase since shooting to fame as Don Draper in the hit TV series, and he is regularly considered one of the sexiest men in Hollywood.

But the hunk admits he's taken aback by the interest in his image and just wants to be recognized as a good actor.

He tells the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, "I don't necessarily think of myself like the handsome guy. That's reserved for Brad Pitt and Ryan Reynolds and those guys.

"It's certainly nice when people say nice things ...

"Mad Men" hunk Jon Hamm has branded his time as a set dresser on porn films "horribly depressing."

The actor initially struggled to get his big break onscreen, and was forced to turn to the porn industry to earn a living.

He tells Playboy, "I did set dressing on some soft-core porn films. That was hands down the worst. I was working on the crew from seven to seven, and it was horribly depressing.

"I'm sure there are more terrible day jobs in L.A., but it's definitely on the lower end of the spectrum of the wonder of movie making. It wasn't even that much money, but it was money."

On Friday, Jon Hamm bashed socialites Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian for making stupidity "fashionable." After what we assume was a busy weekend, Kim has fired back at the Mad Men star via Twitter!

In an Elle UK interview, Hamm followed in the footsteps of Daniel Craig and called Kim "a f*cking idiot."

He is quoted as saying, "We're at a place where the idea of being 'elite' is somehow considered a negative. Whether it's Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated. Being a f*cking idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you're rewarded signi...

Christina Hendricks became a redhead at the age of 10 after becoming obsessed with the story of "Anne Of Green Gables."

The "Mad Men" star, famed for her flame-red locks, has revealed she is a natural blonde, but started dying her hair as a child with the help of her mother.

Hendricks admits she modelled her look on the red-headed heroine of Lucy Maud Montgomery's 1908 book.

She says, "I'm naturally a dark blonde. I couldn't tell you what shade because I haven't seen it in ages. I started playing with red hair when I was 10 years old. I recognize how odd it is now, but my mom let me do i...

We knew she had it in her. Elisabeth Moss, 29, who plays Peggy Olson on "Mad Men," shows off her sexy side in the March 8 issue of Page Six Magazine.

The actress opens up about her short-lived marriage to Fred Armisen, being single, her saucy new look, and what it's like playing a feminist.

Moss and the "Saturday Night Live" funnyman wed in October 2009 after a whirlwind romance. She says: "One of the greatest things I heard someone say about him is, ‘He’s so great doing impersonations. But the greatest impersonation he does is that of a normal person.’ To me, that sums it up."

About her...

Elisabeth Moss has opened up about her divorce for the first time, revealing she is desperate to forget her seven-month marriage to funnyman Fred Armisen.

The couple wed in October, 2009 after a whirlwind romance, but the Mad Men star filed for divorce from the Saturday Night Live (SNL) regular in 2010, citing irreconcilable differences.

The divorce, which was finalized last May, came amid rumors Armisen quickly moved on with his SNL co-star Abby Elliott, and Moss is now hoping to put her failed marriage firmly behind her.

She tells Page Six Magazine, "One of the greatest things I hea...

Actress Christina Hendricks has alerted the authorities after a hacker accessed her phone and stole a series of sexy pictures.

The Mad Men star found herself at the center of a saucy picture scandal on Sunday when a photo which appears to show the actress topless emerged online.

Her representative moved swiftly to brand the image a fake, but revealed that Hendricks' phone had been improperly accessed recently and several shots, including a snap of the redhead barely dressed, were stolen.

The rep tells GossipCop.com, "Christina's phone was in fact hacked and photos were stolen. The pro...

Actress Anne Dudek is a mother again after giving birth to a baby girl.

The Mad Men star and her artist husband Matthew Heller became parents to Saskia, a sister for their son Akiva, last month.

Dudek has opened up about her day-long labor in a post on her blog, revealing doctors wanted her to undergo a Caesarean section, but she insisted on a natural birth.

She adds, "I did push Saskia out, and it was one of the weirdest and most intense things I could ever imagine. I reached down and put my hands under two tiny armpits and pulled her to me, huge cheeks bright red, her little eyes da...

The producers of TV show Mad Men have been forced to defend their latest billboard ad campaign amid complaints from the families of the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York City.

The posters, which show the silhouette of Jon Hamm's character Don Draper falling from a tall building - a theme that has always featured in the drama's opening credits - has upset New Yorkers who claim the billboards are insensitive to those who were forced to jump from the World Trade Center's high floors after the Twin Towers were hit by planes on September 11, 2001.

Deborah Burlingame, whose fath...

At the beginning of this season of Psych, I chatted with Maggie Lawson -- now, as the show returns, it's time for her partner Timothy Omundson (also known as the infamous Detective Carlton Lassiter) to have his say.

While I enjoy the talents of every member of Psych's fun and funny cast, I have a certain affection for Omundson, who's made Lassiter my favorite disgruntled detective on television. His deadpan delivery and expressions are always spot-on, and he's a great straight man for the oft-hyper antics required of star James Roday.

What you might not know is that in addition to...

Our favorite "Mad Men" star Christina Hendricks attended the Elle Style Awards in London yesterday wearing a bright purple dress that hid her fabulous figure. We definitely give two thumbs down for this ensemble.

But the actress looked incredible at the BAFTA awards on Sunday in a one-sleeved black dress. What do you think of her two different looks?

She stars in the upcoming film "Struck By Lightning" about a man who remembers how he blackmailed his fellow classmates into contributing to his literary magazine after he is struck and killed by lightning.

Beatles legend Paul McCartney is reportedly set to make a cameo on hit TV show Mad Men.

Series producers had initially approached the British icon about using music from his latest album "Kisses on the Bottom" in the 1960s drama, but discussions soon led to talk of a guest appearance - and now McCartney's agreed to film a walk-on part for an upcoming episode, according to Britain's Daily Mirror.

A source says, "It's a perfect, perfect fit."

It is not known what McCartney's cameo will entail, but he has also reportedly given producers permission for his tracks to be included in the series...

Actress Christina Hendricks was unfazed by her parents' divorce - and even encouraged them to split.

The Mad Men star's mom Jackie and her father Robert experienced a rough patch when she was a teenager, parting ways just after she'd finished her education - and Hendricks confesses she's glad they separated.

She tells Cosmopolitan magazine, "(They split) when I graduated from high school. It didn't affect me - they hadn't been getting along for some time and I was just like, 'Just get a divorce. Save yourselves'."

However Hendricks, who wed Geoffrey Arend in 2009, insists she still ha...

ABC's Shark Tank opens tonight at 8 PM ET/PT - and before you step in, get the inside dish plus meet the newest Shark, Lori Greiner!

Now in its third season, Shark Tank brings hopeful entrepreneurs face-to-face with a panel of potential investors, or "sharks," that could make their business aspirations a reality...if they can be convinced. Sometimes, it's a chance for us to watch someone's dream come true. Other times, it's painful to see them crash and burn.

I recently visited the set of Shark Tank to check the waters out for myself, and here are a few things you might not know.

'Tis the season for celebrities to show their holiday flare. Christina Hendricks attended an event in Los Angeles on Sunday wearing a sexy sweater set. The red headed "Mad Men" star showed off her curves in a knee-length skirt and matching sequined top.

"Dancing With The Stars" pro Karina Smirnoff wore a see-through blouse at the First Annual Winter in Venice Celebration in Las Vegas on Saturday. She paired the look with jeans and a santa hat.

Jennifer Love Hewitt was the center of attention at KIIS FM's Jingle Ball 2011 on Saturday. She stood out in a simple red frock.

Actresses January Jones and Gwyneth Paltrow have been spoofed as two of the Least Influential People of 2011.

Editors at GQ magazine have followed up Barbara Walters' annual list of "The 10 Most Fascinating People" of the year by creating their own compilation of celebrities who've failed to contribute something of "value" to the world, and both blonde beauties were nominated for the shameful honor.

Jones was one of 25 selected because the latest season of her hit TV show "Mad Men" was delayed from airing until 2012 and Paltrow was named for "unleashing her awful cookbook on the world."
