Mad Men Review: Very Dirty Business
9 hours ago | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
This week's Mad Men was truly one for the books. Especially after last week's mediocre episode, "The Other Woman" had me alternately jeering and cheering, while attempting to scrape my jaw off the floor.
It was hard to juggle all of these emotions on top of my standard urge to punch Pete Campbell in the face, but it was worth it for an installment such as this.
Just when Pete had mildly redeemed himself (emphasis on the mildly) by standing up to Alexis Bledel's husband and letting him know what a good thing he had, he goes and pimps out Joan. I hate to even say that Pete did something redeeming because cheating on your wife and sleeping with another man's wife isn't redeeming, but it's rare that the scumbag even says something nice or stands up for another person, so it's somewhat noteworthy.
Back to pimping out Joan: »

Pasha Adam: Looking Back on House and Looking Forward to Bunheads
22 May 2012 4:15 PM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
It is very seldom when watching a TV show that you find yourself completely clicking with it. For me it's happened a handful of times over the last 10 years or so. One such time was when I watched House. Those first three seasons were great for me. I got the show. I loved the main character, the tone, the soundtrack. I knew what David Shore was trying to accomplish.
Those first three seasons of House were thematically and philosophically rich character studies. The show was reserved and deliberate in how it dealt with character development and back story, parsing it out carefully through the main cast's interactions with the patient of the week.
Over time, House changed. The main characters' stories became more important than the patients' and each season became seemingly more jokey while being punctuated by bombastically dramatic sweeps episodes that involved bus crashes, the CIA and House operating on his own leg. »

Modern Gentleman Ian Somerhalder Poses For GQ
18 May 2012 1:31 AM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
Ian Somerhalder strikes a seriously sexy pose inside the June issue of GQ. The Vampire Diaries star, in collaboration with Ketel One and GQ, is championing a new cause, "A Gentleman’s Call: In Pursuit of an Idea that Matters." He's one of the famous faces hand-picked as a mentor in the ultimate gentleman’s competition. Ian's gentlemanly qualities are one of the many reasons he's a top contender to play the lead in Fifty Shades of Grey. Ian even admitted he'd like to play Christian Grey in the E.L. James best-selling novel, and even went as far as saying he's "good with younger women." Who will play Anastasia Steele is also up for debate, however, Lucy Hale and Alexis Bledel seem to be popular choices among fans of the trilogy. View Slideshow › »

'The Good Wife' Stars Dish On Peter, Alicia & Cary In Season 4
16 May 2012 2:32 PM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
The Season 3 finale of "The Good Wife" left viewers with more than one burning question about what's to come in Season 4.
What will happen to gun-toting Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) -- and her husband? Will Peter (Chris Noth) and Alicia (Julianna Margulies) get back together? How will Cary's (Matt Czuchry) relationship with the other characters change now that he rejoined Lockhart/Gardner.
The Huffington Post caught up with Noth and Czuchry at the Gersh Agency's upfront party in New York to find out the answers some of these questions.
Noth doesn't have much hope for Peter and Alicia. When asked if his character would get involved with Alicia again, he admitted, "Probably not."
The actor also enjoyed having "Friends" alum Matthew Perry as a political archenemy, Mike Kresteva. "He's a good actor. It's like working with any good actor. Easy, fun. I hope he comes back. He makes a great nemesis, »

Alexis Bledel Talks Hooking Up With Pete On 'Mad Men'
14 May 2012 1:41 PM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
TV fans were shocked last week to see actress Alexis Bledel, who played the adolescent Rory Gilmore on "Gilmore Girls," looking all grown up on "Mad Men" (Sundays at 9 p.m. Et on AMC)... and having a twisted affair with Pete Campbell.
In an interview with AMCtv.com, Bledel talked about taking on the role of Beth Dawes, and breaking away from Rory.
Bledel described her character Beth, who's stuck in a bad marriage with Pete's commuting friend, as "quite mysterious and conflicted." She says her character isn't crazy, or "hysterical," as Pete described her, but rather, "depressed," even though "at that time, people did see them more as one and the same."
She also talked about tackling something considerably darker than the "Gilmore Girls" character that made her famous. "We all have moments of intense sadness in our lives ... [Beth] is not the type of person that's afraid to explore her darker thoughts, »

New York — Film adaptations of beloved novels never cease to cause frenzy among fans as to which actors deserve which roles. We saw it with "Twilight" and, more recently, with "The Hunger Games." And E L James' popular book "Fifty Shades of Grey" is no different. When the author made her way into New York's Union Square for a book signing at Barnes & Noble, MTV News was on the scene to witness readers avidly campaigning for who they'd like to see land the lead roles.
"Personally, I want Christian Bale to play Christian Grey because of his experience with 'American Psycho,' " one fan told us. »
Bad Writing Seduces "The Kate Logan Affair"
14 May 2012 6:29 AM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Some films have an interesting idea as their initial premise, but the way they’re executed leave you scratching your head. The Kate Logan Affair follows Gilmore Girls star Alexis Bledel as a rookie cop whose affair with a foreign businessman leads to a mistake and her attempts to overcorrect result in a series of absolutely silly complications that only make the problem worse. While the absurd lengths to which the officer goes push the limits of common sense beyond a breaking point, the real problems arise from Bledel’s totally unbelievable portrayal of not just a cop but of a sane human being—of course the writing deserves have the blame for the absolutely poor characterization.

"Mad Men" Fabulous Quotient: Betty's Beautiful Binge
14 May 2012 5:03 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
We're owed an apology after last night's episode of Mad Men, because it just re-confirmed everything we know about this klatch of swingin' victims: Betty's petty, Pete is pete-thetic, Megan is a responsible and understanding diplomat in the nightmarish Draper cult, Peggy is Lady Bird Johnson's superfly niece, and Roger is a thin rectangle with some silver on it. Oh, and Don? He is Don right now, which is neither a compliment nor an insult. He simply remains the most static and uninteresting character on the show, and he shows no sign of upending his unthinkably monotonous arc. Fortunately, I was still able to unearth five fuh-haaaaabulous moments from last night's investigation of Betty's lingering resentment, Ginsberg's quirky rage, and Sally Draper's potential to be an adorable version of Aileen Wuornos someday. Let's clap at some fabulous things, gents and gentleladies.

Mad Men 5.09 "Dark Shadows" Review

Mad Men 5.09 "Dark Shadows" Review
While the title of this episode of Mad Men could be perfect timing for the new Johnny Depp movie that was released this weekend (and is based on a TV show that debuted in 1966) it has much less to do with pop culture and more to do with what threats are lurking. This darkness is real and imaginary as light or the absence of it is used to highlight insecurities and challenges.
The episode opens with Betty (January Jones) making a snack in the dark; is this a snack because she didn't eat much for her real dinner? This is only the second time that Betty has appeared this season and she is slightly slimmer than when we last saw her, but there is still a major issue with food and control. Betty has always had food problems; when she was with Don she barely »

'Mad Men' Season 5 Episode 509 'Dark Shadows': Betty's big fail
14 May 2012 12:23 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
After seeing everything that the new Mrs. Draper has -- a beautiful apartment, an hourglass figure, a tender love Don never showed her -- Betty Francis' (January Jones') knee-jerk reaction was to spray Reddi-Wip right into her mouth -- then spit it out. After she gave things a little more thought, she came up with a better idea.
Sunday's (May 13) episode of "Mad Men" was mostly about people -- Betty, Don, Megan, Michael, Peggy, Pete -- not getting what they want. A fittingly ironic theme for the show as the timeline rolled through Thanksgiving 1966.
Betty's better idea was to drop a bomb -- more of a grenade -- on daughter Sally (Kiernan Shipka); one that she thought would blow up in Megan and Don's happy faces. But Betty -- like husband Henry, who backed the wrong horse in his political career -- miscalculated. Megan, as we viewers know, already »

Buzz Blabber: Elena Is a Vampire!

We're still reeling from the season finale of The Vampire Diaries, and it seems like lots of people had strong opinions about what this means for the show. But there were plenty of other topics that were making waves as well. Fifty Shades of Grey is still making headlines, and everyone gave their two cents on who should take on the coveted role of Anastasia for the film. And while we're sad to see Cougar Town leave ABC, it's been picked up for another season on TBS. The season finale of The Vampire Diaries has a wild twist "I have to say that I like the idea of the reveal of Elena beginning her transition into a vampire, and I like the obvious twist has on which side she will lean in the perennial triangle. I don't think I am very keen on Elena actually *being* a vampire. It completely »

As the debate rages on between fans over who will play Christian Grey in the upcoming film adaption of E L James' best-selling erotic novel, "Fifty Shades of Grey," many are also contemplating who should take on the role of the female lead, Anastasia Steele.
The book, which began as "Twilight" fan fiction, describes Ana as "a pale, brown haired girl with blue eyes too big for her face." Fans are looking for someone that not only represents her physically, but can also balance her purity with her newfound sensual side.

Mad Men Episode 8 Review and Recap: In 'Lady Lazarus,' Don and Pete See the Abyss
7 May 2012 10:09 PM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
In Sunday's all-new "Mad Men" episode, the prospect of performing is liberating for some and confusing for others. Meanwhile, a few outliers are gravely tired of the roles fate has assigned them. Spoilers ahead! What happened: Pete is approached by insurance agent Howard, who rides the train with him to and from suburbia, about the possibility of life insurance. Pete declines the offer, and the conversation drifts to Howard's new 24th-story apartment in the city, where he meets his 24-year-old strawberry blonde mistress. He claims that his wife, Beth, is satisfied with their arrangement and grateful for the stability he provides. Pete meets Beth (played by Alexis Bledel) later that evening in the train's parking lot, and offers to drive her home. During the car ride Beth bitterly confides that she knows the purpose of her husband's apartment, and that she believes he doesn't care if she's "alive or dead. »

Gilmore Girls Predicted Last Night's Mad Men
7 May 2012 4:20 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Last night's Mad Men featured a sad, sad Alexis Bledel in immaculate '60s garb, portraying the theoretically perfect housewife. The episode also featured Cool Whip, which proves conclusively that "Lady Lazarus" is basically a remake of the 2001 Gilmore Girls episode "That Damn Donna Reed." That episode features also Alexis Bledel in immaculate '60s garb as the theoretically perfect housewife -- and serving her man dessert made with Cool Whip to boot. It's just like Battlestar Galactica warned us: All of this has happened before and will happen again! »
