“Ashley Greene’s DKNY ensemble isn’t all that awesome” links Posted: 30 Mar 2012 10:27 AM PDT Ashley Greene's DKNY ensemble misses the mark. IMO. [Moe Jackson] Who should play Nora in The Thin Man? Sidenote: I think Amy Adams is a FAR superior actor than Isla Fisher. I could see Emily Blunt, though. [LaineyGossip] There will be a sequel to Twins. And Eddie Murphy was just cast. [Dlisted] Game of Thrones isn't just for nerds. [Pop Sugar] Justin Bieber is changing music. 4 Eva. [Evil Beet] Horrible photos of Katy Perry with black hair (it's a wig). [Yeeeah] Emma Stone & Andrew Garfield are still super-cute. [Celebuzz] Everybody loves Elizabeth Banks. [Pajiba] Zooey Deschanel talks about big sister Emily. [The Blemish] Ginnifer Goodwin has a new boyfriend. Sigh… [A Socialite Life] I kind of like Mireille Enos's dress. [Go Fug Yourself] Oooh, PBS will be airing Great Expectations soon! [ICYDK] Spike Lee settled with the family he helped terrorize. [Videogum] What did Rick Santorum almost say? He started to say "ni…" [Gawker] See, this video kind of makes me like Newt Gingrich. [OMG Blog] Spain's prostitutes go on strike. [The Frisky] Orly Bloom & baby Flynn look cute. [Celebrity Baby Scoop] Miranda Kerr still works with Victoria's Secret. [IDLITW]

Jon Hamm covers Esquire UK: “I’m no Ryan Gosling, I don’t aspire to be that.” Posted: 30 Mar 2012 09:38 AM PDT I don't understand the women who say "I don't get Jon Hamm." What's not to get? The man is fine. The man is talented. The man is intelligent. The man is not a boy. The man is not some vapid meathead. The Man is The Hamm. You know what I love about Mad Men's success? The fact that the show is wildly successful outside of America too. Personally, I love so many British shows and movies, and I love that the UK is responding a big way to the quality, content and production value of Mad Men. It makes me proud to be an American! And I shall salute The Hamm (Dong). Anyway, Hamm covers the May issue of Esquire UK. The interview is predictably awesome: On Don Draper: “There is no Don Draper. Don Draper was blown up in a ditch in Korea. That whole ‘Be Don Draper’ thing, I feel it’s… sad. This is a fundamentally f**ked up human being.” On the sweetness of his success: “It’s certainly sweet. There’s a lot of talk about, ‘Oooh, you’re so sexy!’ If people put that mantle on you, fine, but you take it with a wink and a pinch of salt. At 41 I’m like, give me a break, man, I’m no Ryan Gosling. And that’s fine. I don't aspire to be that. That's not my jam.” On using his own struggles with grief and depression to play Don Draper: “If the audience is picking up on some kind of ‘lost’ vibe I’m giving out, then great. I hope that lends a deeper resonance. It’s not anything I'm doing consciously. All we can do as actors is bring our own personal experience to the role. My mother died when I was 10, so I did have far more experience of being raised outside my family than I had from my own home, probably. But who cares?” On seeing a shrink aged 20 after the death of his father: “Talking to anybody helps. Talking to your friends helps. But your friends are your friends. They’ll tell you what you want to hear. The shrink doesn't sugarcoat it: ‘Hey, you're f**ked up. Do this, this and this. Don’t do this anymore.’ It’s a wonderful third-person perspective that you get from an analyst. It’s invaluable, I think.” On first reading the script for the Man Men pilot: “I remember picking it up. Mad Men: sh-tty title. AMC: network no-one’s ever heard of. Two strikes. Then I read it. I said to her Jennifer, 'This is the best pilot I've ever read in my life.' She's going, ‘What?’ That's never the response to a pilot. Sometimes, at best, you’re like, ‘Hey! It’s not terrible!’ And I just thought, ‘I have to be in this show.’ And thus began the long, winding road to getting cast.” On fame impinging on his life: “Obviously you can’t go tear it up and act like an idiot, but at a certain age you should probably stop doing that anyway. I’m not that interesting to follow around. I don’t fall down and you can't see up my skirt.” [From HuffPo UK] Did Jon Hamm really just say "that's not my jam"? And what's with all of the Gosling-namechecking lately? I never thought Gosling was that popular amongst dudes, but he's been getting a lot of love lately. Weird. But Hamm is correct – he's no Ryan Gosling. Jon's appeal is completely different and, in my opinion, better. Ryan is "the cool RA". Jon is "The Classic American Man." Photos courtesy of Esquire UK.
