Jon Hamm, if I were your makeup artist, you would never have to cut it out with the rough play

I could be your makeup artist and I wouldn’t dream of holding an open bottled beverage so close to your white shirt. You could just keep running, you know. You wouldn’t have to return me. No way would you incur any late fees on the library book Meditations in an Emergency because I would not report the crime to the police. Where would you want to go? Maybe we could drive down the coast in this hot red car. You’d snap, “This fresh ocean breeze has mussed up my coif. Fix it,” and I would.

Jon Hamm on-set for season 4 of ‘Mad Men’ in San Pedro, CA, 5/5/2010

Jon Hamm to appear on 'Curb: The Discussion'

by
Tags: , , , Television

Curb: The Discussion just got a whole lot more handsome: According to the Associated Press, Jon Hamm is slated to appear on TV Guide Network’s Curb Your Enthusiasm deconstruction series, in which a celebrity panel discusses ethical issues brought up in each episode of the show. (Like huge vaginas?) Also participating is Jerry Seinfeld, Seth Green, Dave Navarro, and Dr. Drew Pinsky, but I’m kind of digging the Seinfeld-Hamm pairing. (Even if it doesn’t have the same yummy ring to it as Hamm-Buble.)

No doubt The Marriage Ref creator Seinfeld is really into this whole celebrity panel thing, but how many more celebrity panel shows can we expect to see before the comedian returns to scripted comedy?

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 »

They all cameo as themselves in Backwash, a 13-episode web series written by and starring Joshua Malina (Sports Night, The West Wing) debuting on Sony’s Crackle.com this summer. The series, directed by Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle’s Danny Leiner, follows three eccentric losers (pictured, from left to right, Malina, Michael Ian Black, and Michael Panes) who hit the road in an ice cream truck pursued by the police after one of them inadvertently robs $100,000 from a local bank. With production wrapped as of last week, Malina phoned PopWatch to answer a few of our burning questions: READ FULL STORY »

This week's cover: 'Date Night' costars Tina Fey and Steve Carell imagine a Liz Lemon/Michael Scott hookup

Entertainment-Weekly-coverIn Date Night, a comedy in theaters April 9, Tina Fey and Steve Carell play a married couple with kids whose rare romantic evening on the town goes haywire thanks to an epic case of mistaken identity. Instead of sipping fine wine and strolling through Central Park, they flee dirty cops, seek help from a pathologically shirtless weapons expert (played by Mark Wahlberg), and attempt a comically inept routine at a strip club. Naturally, then, one of the first questions we asked the costars was what would happen if their hapless small-screen alter egos, 30 Rock‘s Liz Lemon and The Office‘s Michael Scott, went on a date of their own. Here’s what they said:

Tina Fey: Oh, Liz Lemon would f— it up. Michael Scott would probably be very open, but Liz Lemon would be sour and judgmental and she’d blow it. [Laughs]
Steve Carell: Blow it? With Michael? I don’t think there’s any way she would agree to go out with Michael Scott unless she had been tricked into it. I don’t think you go from Jon Hamm to Michael Scott. Michael Scott should be so lucky.
TF: We should just say, “That’s the series finale this year!”
SC: “We’re planning a little cross-pollination. There’s a tornado, and we all have to huddle somewhere between New York City and Scranton! It makes complete sense!” [Shakes his head.] No way.
TF: It would be so bad. It’s not gonna happen.

Bummer, right? But a fan can dream.

'Mad Men' characters don't just look like Barbies...

by
Tags: , , , , , , , Mad Men

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 »

Jon Hamm: 'It's not called The Wheel. It's called...The Mercedes S400 Hybrid'

Tags: , , , , , , , Mad Men

Mercedes-Benz USA has hired Jon Hamm as the voice of its new ad campaign for the S400 Hybrid. According to the New York Times, Hamm will replace the actor Richard Thomas, best known as John-Boy on the former CBS series The Waltons. Ha! I wonder if Mercedes will just go all-out and include the Mad Men theme song in the background, like Dodge did with Dexter and Michael C. Hall. “But don’t, that sounds stupid.”

Don Draper, err Jon Hamm, gets angry in new thriller

by
Tags: , , , Movies

Another Jon Hamm movie alert! IFC Films will release thriller Stolen (previously titled Stolen Lives) on its VOD platform on March 3, followed by theatrical runs starting March 12 in New york and March 19 in Los Angeles.

This trailer is pretty good, although the whole thing looks a little bit like an extra-special episode of Cold Case (not necessarily a bad thing, I like Cold Case). And I’ll go see it because it will be Jon Hamm on the BIG SCREEN.

This detective character has some of the Draper rage in him, clearly. (“Don’t touch anything until there is a body” – sounds like another post-baby-Gene argument in the bedroom with Betty, no?)

Who else will Hamm it up in the theater?

PopWatch PSA: Jon Hamm says 'sexually' in this video for his movie 'Howl'

by
Tags: , , , , Movies

The magic happens at 0:55. Sergio the sax maniac is talking about his role as Jake Ehrlich, the attorney who defends City Lights bookstore proprietor Lawrence Ferlinghetti in the Allen Ginsberg biopic Howl. The film premiered at Sundance Jan. 21, after which EW’s Owen Gleiberman wrote it was “just an okay movie, but it’s got a canny, outsider-art infectiousness.” As we lament that Howl has no release date, let’s continue to mourn the hot beard Hamm sported at the premiere and for most of January. I reluctantly admit it was a good idea to shave it before doing SNL, because floating-in-champagne chunks of pork totally could have gotten caught in that thing at Hamm and Buble.

Watch similar interviews of Howl‘s James Franco on his role as the young Ginsberg (“raw” and “overnight explosions” both come up) and Jeff Daniels on playing Professor David Kirk (sexiest word is “Dadaism”) over at the Trailer Addict. [Franco, Daniels]

War of the Wet: Whose performance was more fluid?

by
Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , Television

Hmmm. Choosing a side in this arbitrary pitting of singer vs. actor is going to be tough. Pink showered the Grammys swaybots (and hopefully Lady Gaga, who was dressed to complement rain in the audience) with water as she executed a mid-level Cirque du Soleil routine the Québécois are calling “tres mignon.” But in Jon Hamm‘s digital short on Saturday Night Live, the actor and reborn sax maniac emerged from the womb of Kristen Wiig and wailed on that instrument full force, because that’s what Sergio was put on this planet by homeless Fred Armisen to do.

Neither was quite naked — Pink seems to be revealing more skin, but there’s actually a lot of fabric involved there. Jon Hamm is wearing pants, but the sheer surface area of his glistening upper body and the ridiculous element of suspenders somehow makes him equivalent to three completely naked regular people. Does Sergio, who neither sang nor spun, ultimately get the edge for experimenting with different fluids? You decide.

Oh, and if you thought Pink’s performance deserved more than a C+, sound off in our Grammys Performances: We Grade ‘Em! photo gallery.
