Gossip Girl star Blake Lively is getting herself into some real drama. This time, it won’t be of the high society variety, it will be as part of the ensemble cast of director Ben Affleck’s The Town.

Don is very frustrated with the new oversight at Sterling Cooper and uncharacteristically wears his emotions on his sleeve.

Hot off the heels of the start of Mad Men’s third season, Jon Hamm is reaching out and touching pen to paper in hopes of finding success on the big screen.

Join us as we look ahead to what season three might have in store for all of your favorite Mad Men (and dames)…

Mad Men uber-star Jon Hamm, also known as Don Draper, has signed on to star alongside Rebecca Hall in Ben Affleck’s upcoming directorial work The Town.

When Liz begins to realize that Drew (Jon Hamm) is able to get away with things other people can’t, Jack explains it’s because Drew is within “The Bubble,” which allows attractive people special treatment.

Liz and Drew (Jon Hamm) finally go on their first date, which, unbeknownst to Liz, is Valentine’s Day. Jack plans to spend the evening at an exclusive restaurant with Elisa (Salma Hayek), but his plans are put on hold when she insists, being the devout Catholic that she is, on first attending church.

When Jack realizes that Elisa’s (Salma Hayek) grandmother dislikes him because he resembles exactly the dastardly Generalissimo on her favorite Spanish soap opera, he makes Liz write some flattering episodes with Elisa’s help. Unfortunately, the exploits of the Spanish antagonist just give Liz ideas on how to win over her new attractive neighbor, the philanthropic Dr. Drew Baird (Jon Hamm).

This week, Galifianakis, a wunderkind of broadcast journalism, sat down with Mad Men star Jon Hamm to speak of his new movie The Day the Earth Stood Still. And while I can’t recommend TDESS as a worthwhile diversion, I would contend that moments spent with Zach Galifianais are always worthwhile.

Director Scott Derrickson’s remake of the 1951 science fiction classic, the latest in the long line of shiny, CG-heavy remakes, might be attractive at first, but in the end it reveals itself to be less than worthy of its name.

As the Cuban Missile Crisis looms overhead, Sterling/Cooper is in the midst of a merger with Putnam, Powell, and Lowe. Don returns to New York just in time to see Duck Philips made president of the new company.

Pete’s father-in-law may be affecting a business deal reflected by how Pete treats his wife. Don visits the “real” Don Draper’s wife. Betty begins to treat Sally like a grown-up girl.

On a business trip to Los Angeles, Don becomes acquainted with some exciting new friends. Peggy looks for romance at work. Duck starts thinking about the future of Sterling Cooper.

Betty visits her ailing father. Paul’s girlfriend Sheila tries to convince him to prioritize his civic duties. Pete’s mother disapproves of an idea that Pete and Trudy are considering.

Marilyn Monroe’s death sparks a reaction from the women at Sterling/Cooper, while the woman at Don Draper’s house, Betty, still won’t let him come home. Freddy Rumsen’s alcoholism catches up with him at work, forcing Pete Campbell and Peggy to take action with a client.

Betty unknowingly makes an alcoholic purchase that helps Don in business, prompting him and Duck Phillips to promote beer to housewives.

Last night Fox broadcasted a 7-minute clip from the upcoming sci-fi remake The Day the Earth Stood Still. Some of the footage was also released at Comic-Con this year and as part of the first trailer, but much of it is brand new.

Josh Radde tries to fine tune “The Gold Violin” of Mad Men, while Robert Fure dives head first into the world of synthetic blood and vampire sexiness.
