Mad Men
Jon and January Get Ready For Their Return to TV
Jon Hamm and January Jones were decked out '60s-style yesterday in Pasadena to film the third season of Mad Men, which will kick off Aug. 16 on AMC. It's been a long time since Jon and January were together on the small screen, but at least we got to enjoy his cameo on 30 Rock during the break.

Keep Your Newlywed Glow: Don't Watch These Movies or Shows
After the wedding, you're probably ready to just have a relaxing honeymoon and enjoy that newlywed glow. When it comes to unwinding with movies or TV, though, beware: certain stories will be wedding bliss buzzkills. Last year I made a partial list (including American Beauty and The Ice Storm, among others) and here are a few more titles to avoid during these early, happy days.
Do, Dump, or Marry? Christina Hendricks
Christina Hendricks's character Joan Holloway in Mad Men tries her retro best as an office manager to mentor her female co-workers, teaching them tricks about how to work their way around the piggish men they have to deal with. We may cringe at her techniques, but we can marvel at her retro style. So what will it be — do, dump, or marry?
Buzz In: What Acclaimed TV Classic Do You Just Not Get?
30 Rock made a M*A*S*H joke this week, and my friend practically threw a fit telling me all about her hatred for that show. She said every time her parents turned it on and she heard that famous theme song, she wanted to cry from boredom. I actually know quite a few people who feel that way, even though M*A*S*H is considered one of the best shows of all time.

Love It or Hate It? The Draper Sofa
I have a feeling that CB2's Draper Sofa ($799) is named after a certain dapper ad man. It certainly looks midcentury, with its dashing stripes and reserved silhouette. I also love that it's made with a certified sustainable, kiln-dried hardwood frame and a soy-based polyfoam seat.
