Mad Men Archives

You may find it hard to believe that ten years ago, Mad Men hottie January Jones dated Ashton Kutcher, who’s currently married to Demi Moore.

Apparently Ashton discouraged January from pursuing her acting career. “The guy I was dating when I first got to L.A. was not supportive of my acting,” January tells GQ. “He was like, I don’t think you’re going to be good at this. So—f*** you! He only has nice things to say now—if anything, I should thank him. Because the minute you tell me I can’t do something, that’s when I’m most motivated.”

Well just look at her now, Ashton. She’s the most complex, mysterious woman on television today!

January also dated pop balladeer Josh Groban for about six years before breaking up this past spring. Currently, January is dating an Oregon-based lawyer she’s known for eight years. (“What I want is James Brolin in Amityville Horror, minus the horror. A guy with a beard who can swing an ax.”)

Check out January in the November 2009 issue of GQ!

Sesame Street pays homage to the Emmy award-winning AMC show Mad Men during the 40th anniversary season of the hit children’s show.

In the video below, creative director Don Draper (Jon Hamm) and two advertising execs discuss the “Happy Honeybear” account at their Sterling-Cooper headquarters.

At the end of the clip, Don commends his team by saying, “Good job, sycophants.” Sycophants, ha!

Jon Hamm and Elisabeth Moss from the Emmy award-winning show Mad Men take the October 2009 cover of L.A. Confidential. Here’s what they shared:

Hamm on his longtime girlfriend: “Jen Westfeldt, and I and our dog, Cora, live in Los Feliz, where there are quite a few places we like to go….We’re mostly neighborhood types. There’s also a place in Atwater Village called Palate Food + Wine that’s really good.”

Hamm on his hit AMC show: “It’s like a nice novel you can kind of sit and pay attention to. The [show] is not meant to be on while you’re doing dishes, it’s meant to be enjoyed and savored and focused on, and it rewards that attention… We’re fortunate in a lot of ways that Mad Men is not watched by 15 million people a week, because there would be an expectation to appeal to a much broader section of the demographic, and I think the character would have to make different choices to be appealing to that demographic. We are fortunate in that – on our show- we can stay true to the character and his very difficult choices.”

Moss on life in Los Angeles: “LA will always be my hometown. I know where everything is: I know the streets really well; I never have to ask for directions.

Moss on her upcoming marriage to SNL’s Fred Armisen: “I think we’ve decided (we’ll get married) this fall. It’s not that far off, and it’s fun planning a wedding – nothing but an amazing experience for us. We agree on everything, so that’s good. It’s going to be a really fun special day, and I can’t wait. We both can’t wait.”

Mad Men babe Christina Hendricks is white hot on the Fall 2009 cover of InStyle Weddings.

The 34-year-old redhead, who plays bombshell secretary Joan Holloway, is currently engaged to (500) Days of Summer actor Geoffrey Arend (he’ll next star in TNT’s upcoming drama, Trust Me, which premieres in January).

Christina shares, “Before I met Geoffrey, marriage just wasn’t that important to me. Once I fell in love, it became this very exciting idea to share my life with him and throw a wedding to celebrate. It was worth the wait — I wasn’t ever going to settle.”

As for her Carolina Herrera wedding dress, it was also love at first sight. Christina says, “It was the very first dress I tried on. It’s got a bit of Sophia Loren to it, but really, it’s a Christina Hendricks dress.”

The third season of Mad Men continues with new episodes this Sunday (September 6) @ 10PM ET/PT on AMC.
