Christina Hendricks’ husband can’t believe his life either. His face has rarely moved out of that expression ever since Christina asked him, “Do you want to just slip the ring on my left nipple since you haven’t looked at my face once!” during their wedding ceremony.
Mad Men went into the Emmys last night with 17 nominations and they walked away with nothing but a handful of drink tickets to use to drown their sorrows in the sweet nectar after losing EVERYTHING. Jon Hamm was nominated for Outstanding Actor in a Drama and he didn’t get shit. Christina Hendricks was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress and she also didn’t even get a tiny dingle out of the Emmy statue’s ass. The only thing Mad Men won was the title of losingest TV show of all time. Northern Exposure and The Larry Sanders show both held the record for the most Emmy losses in one year (16 each) and so Mad Men beat both of their asses.
After THAT episode, I really thought I’d see Christina Hendricks on stage, balancing a trophy on her magnificent chichis while giving an acceptance speech, but that didn’t happen. The Emmy bitches also didn’t do the right thing by giving a very special humanitarian award to Jon Hamm’s hamm loaf for enriching lives (and fuck parts) and making

The Daily Mail is calling this dude “the real-life Popeye,” but the important subject of “cartoon muscles” obviously wasn’t taught at the highly respected university they got their journalism degrees from, because Popeye’s forearms looked like overstuffed empanadas, not his biceps. How dare they do Popeye like that.
Meet 24-year-old Moustafa Ismail, an Egyptian dude who moved his entire family to America five years ago, because we have the workout equipment needed to make his arms look like a skinny snake that just swallowed Jon Hamm’s grapefruit-sized nutsack. Moustafa’s 31-inch biceps just earned him a Guinness World Record for having the bulgiest of bulging biceps. Moustafa also earned another Guinness World Record for being the only human to wear the same shirt for 5 years straight, because he can’t take that shit off!
You and I say that Moustafa’s tumor ass-looking biceps are obviously pregnant with pounds of Fix-A-Flat and synthol, but he claims his arms got like that from working out at least a total of 6 hours a day and filling his eating hole daily with 3 pounds of protein, two gallons of water and three liters of shakes. If Mama June ever passes out on Honey Boo Boo, just whistle for Moustafa, because he can lift 500 pounds.
Because I’m me, my first thought was: Can this bitch even do the Macarena?! Friends don’t let friends fill

Full Story »Lena Dunham pokes a nice-sized hole in The New Yorker’s we’re-witty-not-funny facade with her promotional-film-within-a-film for the magazine’s new iPhone app.
In the first part of the clip, the Tiny Furniture filmmaker and Girls creator — who never lets her ego get in the way of good comedy — lolls around in a ridiculous pair of pants on a talk show hosted by Mad Men’s Jon Hamm. After explaining to Hamm’s technologically retarded character just what an iPhone app is, Dunham does what every talk-show guest does eventually: urges him to play her clip.
Dunham stars as the New Yorker’s editor, despite bearing little resemblance to the publication’s actual chief, David Remnick. Girls cast member Alex Karpovsky also appears as her slow-witted assistant and offers up a series of slyly stupid reaction shots as Dunham then gives a so-rudimentary-its-funny demonstration of the app for those New Yorker readers who are really fighting the leap from print to digital. After breaking it down for the Luddite crowd, Dunham then suggests that she and her assistant have sex the following week.
Actually, that’s the one false note of Dunham’s short. Everyone who’s ever worked at Conde Nast knows that the first rule of The New Yorker’s Sex Club is that you don’t talk about Sex Club — until a fact checker vets your comments.
Check out the clip below, then write the New Yorker to suggest that Dunham, who has contributed a couple of smart pieces to the magazine, guest-edit a future special issue about anything she damn well wants. That kid is full of good ideas.

Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis face off as political rivals vying for the same Congressional seat in The Campaign — but should Democrats or Republicans be more worried about being skewered for laughs in the August 10 comedy?
Movieline pal Grace Randolph hit the star-studded NYC premiere with Beyond the Trailer for the scoop from candidates Ferrell and Galifianakis, catching up with a flurry of SNL alums, 30 Rock players, ABC News vet John Stossel and Jon Hamm to discuss the pressing issues of the day. Such as: Are babies good at improv?
And yes, Will Ferrell. Anthony Weiner would make a fantastic politician guest for Between Two Ferns, if only to see what Galifianakis would do with the poor guy. MAKE THAT HAPPEN NOW.
Rubbing elbows with The Campaign set, guests at the premiere party hosted by The Peggy Siegal Company swilled specialty cocktails courtesy of SVEDKA Vodka, who designed special red, white, and blue bottles to match the patriotic theme.
The Campaign hits theaters August 10.
