Can anyone tell me when cupcakes suddenly became the trendiest dessert around? Sure, we can blame Sex and the City, which helped turn Magnolia Bakery into a phenom following a season three episode that featured Miranda and Carrie indulging in the treat. (The Magnolia across the street is constantly filled with customers…or sad, lonely sugar fiends who simply want to watch through the window as the bakers frost their cakes each morning. Not that I would know what time that happens.) But now, cupcakes have traveled across the Atlantic, where McDonald’s in Germany is not only honoring the trendy treats, but an American city known for making them as well. Presenting straight from Deutschland: New York City-themed cupcakes! READ FULL STORY »

Clip du jour: 'Mad Men' cast and crew sings 'Bye Bye Birdie'
Here’s the cast and crew of Mad Men doing the intro to Bye Bye Birdie (which was the inspiration for Sal’s ill-fated “Hello, Patio!” commercial). Yep, that’s Rich Sommer at least partially nude again. Come for the laughs, stay for the bloopers: READ FULL STORY »

'Mad Men"s Rich Sommer: Why he got naked and tweeted for charity
Some of Twitter’s best and brightest lent their star power to a benefit show at UCB LA Friday night. The trailer for “A Night of 140 Tweets: A Celebrity Tweetathon for Haiti” contains some fresh language:
Did you notice a naked guy in there? Yeah, that was Mad Men star Rich Sommer, who talked to EW about his charity-driven decision to go full monty: READ FULL STORY »

'Mad Men' characters don't just look like Barbies...
They will be Barbies! Mattel is planning versions of Barbie and Ken modeled after Mad Men‘s Joan, Roger, Don, and Betty. If you can afford one of the 7,000 to 10,000 copies — they’re $74.95 each! — it will surely be your “statement doll.” According to the New York Times, in the interest of maintaining that wholesome Barbie image we all know and maybe have weird nightmares about as adults, “The dolls come with period accessories like hats, overcoats, pearls and padded undergarments, but no cigarettes, ashtrays, martini glasses or cocktail shakers.” What?! How will I make mine act out typical scenes like Draper dinner party, 11 a.m. in the Sterling-Cooper office, or working lunch? READ FULL STORY »

'Gilligan's Island' movie: Let's cast the castaways
Image Credit: Hendricks: Chris Hatcher/PR Photos; Louise: Everett CollectionPrepare for a new three-hour tour. A three-hour tour.
Warner Bros. is making a Gilligan’s Island film, based on the beloved 1960s sitcom that enjoyed a multi-generational run in syndication. Variety reports that Brad Copeland (Wild Hogs) is writing the script and that the producers hope to shoot next year.
With its seven simplistic, yet iconic, characters, has there even been a show that will be more fun to cast? Sherwood Schwartz, the show’s original producer, is on the record that he’d like to see Michael Cera play Gilligan. Fine. Perfect. Cera can play Gilligan. But Abe Vigoda can play Gilligan for all I care. As long as Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) plays Ginger. This is non-negotiable. If Warner Bros. can’t land Hendricks, don’t even bother with this movie.
Who else would you like to see in the film? Philip Seymour Hoffman as the Skipper? (Revisit Along Came Polly if you think the Oscar-winner can’t do comedy.) Stephen Colbert or Paul Rudd as the Professor? What about Mary Ann and the Howells? Have at it, castaways.

'Glee' and 'Mad Men' win costume-design awards: Amen
Image Credit: Glee: Carin Baer/FoxThe Costume Designers Guild held its annual awards ceremony last night. On the film side, The Young Victoria won for best period costumes, Crazy Heart won for best contemporary costumes, and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus won for best fantasy. On the TV front, Janie Bryant won Mad Men and Lou Eyrich won for Glee. Hell yes.
That Mad Men is stylish practically goes without saying; Glee is in a slightly different boat, and not just because so many of its characters wear uniforms. Sue’s iconic track suits; Rachel’s prim school-girl outfits; Mr. Schue’s blandsville, Ohio duds — all great. But it’s Jayma Mays’s Emma Pillsbury whose ensembles absolutely kill me with their perfection. The cardigans alone make me weak in the knees, plus the slightly quirky matchiness of everything and the immaculate accessorizing? Be still my heart.
TV-wise, the only show I can think of that can compete with these two is Ugly Betty, but I’d still give Glee the slight edge there. What do you think, PopWatchers?
For more on Glee‘s fashion, check out our Q&As with winner Lou Eyrich here and here.

Christina Hendricks: Something else to obsess about
I don’t think any able-eyed person on the planet would not like to gaze at the art for New York‘s Christina Hendricks cover story, “Woman of the Hourglass.” If you are reading this to the blind, go ahead and describe her signature slightly parted lips as well as the throbbing python of auburn weave gently snaking its way around right breast and left thigh in a manner a billion times sexier than an actual reptile did in Wayne’s World or on Britney Spears, and your audience could not help but be tickled, too. The article claims Hendricks should be recognized just as much for her acting ability as for her curves, and duh, I love that! But I’ve recently been worrying that we’re selling ourselves short if we aren’t also devoting a proper amount of attention to….

Should cured meat spokesperson Jon Hamm be allowed to host 'SNL' without a beard?
We were just starting to get used to the lustrous chin-thicket Jon Hamm was using to keep warm this winter. Zut alors! Below are some short promos for this weekend’s Jon Hamm-hosted Saturday Night Live, in which the cardigan-ed actor acknowledges his own devastating hotness and defends against the incorrect pronunciation of Michael Bublé’s name.
Funny, the tone of voice he uses when raging against Fred Armisen that it’s not pronounced “Bubble” is the same one Hamm employed when Lemon kicked the crap out of Dr. Baird in tennis in 30 Rock‘s “The Bubble.” I can only assume that the video cut out just as Hamm was about to call Fred Armisen a “Cheating bitch!”

SAG Awards: Who should win Best TV Ensemble?
Tomorrow night’s Screen Actors Guild awards show (8 p.m. ET on TNT and TBS) has those “ensemble” categories so that EVERYONE can get a statue. I feel like Mad Men can’t lose in the TV drama category — it’s up against Dexter, The Closer, The Good Wife, and True Blood — unless people write-in their votes for Lost. For the comedy category, I’d like to see Modern Family win best ensemble over 30 Rock, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Glee, and The Office. A best ensemble win for MF would also be a good nod to the writers who facilitate rapid-fire chemistry among actors we knew we loved (Ed O’Neill, Julie Bowen) and those whose capacity to portray familial dysfunction we couldn’t even fathom (Sofia Vergara, Jesse Tyler Ferguson). That sentence seems so unfair. I want to keep naming them so I’ll be in the Ensemble Award Spirit, but I’ll stop. No I won’t. Eric Stonestreet. Ty Burrell. Oh, and you know Baby Lily was emoting hardcore when she got locked in the car. Give these people who left their baby in the car an award!
Which ensembles are you rooting for tomorrow night? (TV nominess here; film nominees here.) Check back this weekend for EW’s full coverage of the SAG Awards.
