Check out her latest photo. Is she inspired by Season 2 of Mad Men? Or maybe the hats are coming back?

Mad Men's January Jones as X-Men's Emma Frost
January Jones on the set of X-men preparing for her role as Emma Frost. Shouldn’t be a hard role to play since Betty Draper is normally very icy.

Guardian Blog Back
Season 4 is beginning today in the UK (4 months earlier than originally scheduled), and The Guardian’s excellent Mad Men blog by Will Dean is back up. There’s a preview here at http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/tvandradioblog , and there will be an Episode 1 recap later today. Will Dean’s analysis is generally excellent, and so are the readers’ (not evident from trolling in the preview, but true). If you go there, you must not give away any spoilers from later episodes, of course.
I don’t know if the following is also news or not: Dean links to an outstanding article by Adam Curtis at http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurtis/2010/08/madison_avenue.html . Perhaps this has already appeared at BoK?

There's an extra "http" in the "10 Questions for Jon Hamm" link.
I know. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to edit these. It's a feed.

That's really awesome that Slattery is directing the next episode. I hope he can follow the likes of Bryan Cranston, Clark Johnson, and Steve Buscemi as actors in series directing episodes. (or, in Johnson's case on The Wire, director, then actor, then director again)
Happy Anniversary to Rich Sommer! http://richsommer.com/post/947766917/five-years-a…
Hey, the Mad Men archives disappeared! Where'd they go?
Excuse me, I mean the Mad Men NEWS archives.
We had a bug. We fixed it.
Dude, that SCDP floor plan is genius. Can we link it permanently in the Bible?
Just subscribing to feedback. Thanks.
Thanks for the news links.
I have to disagree with the article suggesting that Mad Men evokes sentimental emotion for “outdated aspects of business life”. To suggest that business no longer uses the likes of support staff is clearly written by someone who does not work in business (call centres, account departments).
Anyway, I suspect that I’m perhaps taking the article too seriously.
Thanks again for the links!
