AMC plans series to discuss its seriesThe network that brings us “Mad Men” and “Breaking Bad” is considering a talk show about its own shows, reports New York Magazine. Bravo's Andy Cohen - host of “Watch What Happens: Live,” which airs after each new episode of “Real Housewives” - has become a smashing success. AMC wants to do a similar show to discuss its scripted series. Like “Watch What Happens,” the talk show would feature guests and discuss AMC's dramas in a post-game fashion.

John Slattery defends 'Mad Men' co-starJanuary Jones' cold reputation continues, thanks to recent comments from her onscreen son, but “Mad Men” co-star John Slattery is coming to her defense. Sort of. Jared Gilmore, who is the third little boy to play Bobby Draper, warned the next kid playing Jones' son to “be careful around” her. (Gilmore is leaving the show for a new series.) "Well, it's an intimidating character," Slattery said to E! News of Gilmore's comment, insinuating that maybe the little tyke confused Jones’ real personality with acting. "I mean, that's the character. Betty Draper is an intimidating woman I suppose, if you were a seven-year-old boy [or] her son." (Or if you’re Zach Galifianakis.)

'Mad Men' kid: 'Be careful around' January JonesThe little boy who plays Don and Betty Draper’s son on “Mad Men” doesn't seem to be a big fan of onscreen mom January Jones, reports TV Guide. Jared Gilmore, the show’s third Bobby Draper, is leaving the AMC hit series for ABC's upcoming fairy-tale drama “Once Upon a Time.” But before he goes, Gilmore wants to warn his tiny successor about his former TV mom. "Be careful around January [Jones]. She's not as approachable as the others,” the 11-year-old cautions. “She's really serious about what she does. Everyone else is so nice."

‘Mad Men’ busting AMC's budget?Just months after "Mad Men" creator and executive producer Matt Weiner reportedly received a huge check to continue the show for two more seasons, AMC is pushing to cut costs on its other shows, reports the L.A. Times. The network’s other popular series include “Breaking Bad,” starring Bryan Cranston, and “The Walking Dead.” After a long, drawn-out negotiation process, Weiner will reportedly get $10 million for each of the next two seasons of “Mad Men.” Fans may be ecstatic that the swinging '60s show will go on, but those behind AMC’s other shows are rumored to be complaining that the hefty “Mad Men” deal is cutting into their shows’ budgets.

Jon Hamm signs on for more 'Mad Men'Yes, Jon Hamm thinks “Mad Men” should wrap up before it gets out of hand, but it doesn't look like that'll happen within the next three years. According to Deadline, the actor has signed an eight figure deal to play the dashing (and deceitful) Don Draper for the next few seasons, a span of time that showrunner Matthew Weiner signed up for earlier this year. Weiner has said before that he envisioned “Mad Men” hanging on through season 7, and between Hamm and Weiner’s three-year deals and AMC’s two-season renewal, it looks like that plan is coming to fruition. Season 5 will make its way to AMC in 2012. |
