Great news, people with weak stomachs! With Rick Santorum surging and frothing all over the polls and Americans wasting unprecedented amounts of brain energy to wipe the internet definition of "Santorum" from their brains, a new immature yet awesome poop-related neologism has been made out of the name of a Republican candidate.

Last night's episode of The Simpsons featured Homer being trained for his new job in ad sales at the power plant by none other than Roger Sterling himself. Okay, actually, it was a Simpsonized version of a modern day Mad Men sales guy who happened to be voiced by John Slattery. Still, for those of us who are counting the months until AMC's golden series returns, it's enough to hold us over. More »

Last week, Kiernan Shipka made us hanker for the return of Sally Draper with her uncannily good performance as an adult child psychologist. Now she continues to prove that she's simply too much with a feature on Lucky's website in which she shows off eight of her favorite outfits. Though she's only 11, Kiernan is already reading Tavi Gevinson's blog, using terms like "detachable peter pan collar" and "stretchy pant," and saying things like: More »

The New York Times Magazine offered a peek into Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner's L.A. home, which unsurprisingly has a retro feel (though it's more '30s than '60s and there isn't a fainting couch in sight). But of course, some bits of the show have seeped into his real life. Weiner is a fan of whiskey, and like many fans, has a Don Draper fantasy. He says: More »

Despite much hand-wringing about the state of women and television, one person doesn't seem too worried—and she should know better than almost anybody.

Last week, Mark Zuckerberg held a press conference announcing Facebook's latest redesign, Timeline, but as this video proves, it wasn't the most original idea in the world. Behold: the poignant ad pitch by Don Draper in Mad Men to the makers of Kodak Carousel with the forthcoming social media changes about to be instilled upon all Facebook users. Perhaps Mark Zuckerberg isn't quite innovative as he thinks he is. More »

Lauren Hutton and Michael Kors sat down together for Interview magazine. They discussed, in order: How Kors' family "treated me like this beacon of light," hippies, Old New York vs. New New York, Rudy Giuliani, Rudolf Nureyev's jeans, not wearing a bra, Billy's Topless, taking acid when it was legal, cruising prostitutes for style inspiration with Steven Meisel, and "age-appropriate" dressing. It's surprisingly entertaining! Then there was this bit, where Hutton described what she did when a room full of male advertising executives sexually harassed her at a casting in 1965: More »

For the past nine months, three students attending Creative Circus have been scheming to bring Don Draper to their graduation — not the actor, but Jon Hamm appearing in character. The students enlisted the help of other creative directors across the country in an effort to "out Draper the Draper." Last week AMC executives saw the video, and now they're talking with Hamm. If people find out you can hire a Mad Men character to make personal appearances, Hamm will certainly be inundated with requests to do weddings, birthday parties, and bar mitzvahs — mostly from us.

Going an entire summer without Mad Men is frustrating. Thanks to illustrator Paul Rogers, you can get your fix of the stylish era right now. Rogers created a version of the opening credits taking a cue from "classic film and television titles from the early 1960s." The clip might not be enough to hold you over until January (when the new season of Mad Men begins), but it will make you crave an ice cold martini. More »

The epic bureaucratic deadlock keeping you and your boyfriend Jon Hamm apart has finally ended, as it appears that the show will be back for a fifth season starting next January. Two more seasons will follow, and at that point, Sterling Cooper Draper Cramer Price Alcoholism Racism & Philanderer, Inc will be closing its doors forever. At the rate they're filming new seasons, by the time the show ends, the Draper kids will be played by 30-year olds. It will be like Dawson's Creek but set in the 1960's. They'll have to order a special adult sized tricycle for the scene with Glenn's 6th birthday party so the 15 year old actor playing him doesn't break it. But I digress. More »

Since it became public knowledge that Mad Men was going to kill off at least one "regular character" (although other reports have put the tally as high as six), debate has swirled: should Lane Pryce return to London? Should Roger's poor work ethic and heart trouble conspire for the big pink slip? But one idea has gained momentum: Betty Draper must go. More »

Earlier, we learned that Matt Weiner was close to making a deal with AMC to bring back Mad Men for two seasons, but now negotiations have broken down — and with good reason. You may not feel much sympathy for Weiner after learning that he's demanding $30 million over the next two years, which would him the highest-paid showrunner on basic cable. However, a source tells Deadline that he isn't fighting network executives over his salary, but these three demands:

• Integrating product placement into the series
• Cutting 2 minutes from each episode's running time in favor of more commercials
• Eliminating two regular cast members to save money
