Toward the end of my brief chat with Christina Hendricks, on Tuesday, came a moment of such irony, it felt like a contrivance in an undergrad short story about #MeToo. When I attempted to ask Hendricks about this cultural moment in which speaking out—something she’s been doing for years now—has become part of…
At some point in the pilot of Good Girls, NBC’s new crime caper with an identity crisis, Beth (Christina Hendricks) delivers a cri de coeur that is so terrifically obvious from what you’ve just watched that it really does not need stating: “We don’t sit back and let everything be taken away from us,” she says to Annie…
Mad Men alums Christina Hendricks and John Slattery are joining Matthew Weiner’s project at Amazon Studios, The Romanoffs, which is about Romanoffs. But it is somehow not lavish, expensively produced costume porn.
Horror filmmakers are always looking for unexplored territory in the genre, and what’s more terrifying than the fashion world? Only God Forgives writer/director Nicholas Winding Refn seems to have figured that out with The Neon Demon, his new movie which casts young Elle Fanning as an aspiring fashion model who’s…
A Clairol television commercial for Nice ‘n Easy hair dye has been banned in the United Kingdom for misrepresenting Christina Hendricks’ dye job. Whoops!
Christina Hendricks gave it the old college try, in this extra from Watch What Happens Live! in which she “auditions” for a hypothetical Real Housewives the Movie. But did she really get Heather Thomson’s indignant response to LuAnn’s famous line “Don’t be all, like, uncool” down? Reality show acting is harder than it…
Man, Sesame Street was so much easier back in my day, when all you had to know was above/below and inside/outside and that the letter R was radical and that reading was an important skill. Now, kids have to learn about tablets and smartphones and the fact that Christina Hendricks calls her grandpa pop pop, and it’s…
We can all agree that Mad Men has had its share of intense episodes, as it’s explored every hellish crevice of the virulently unscrupulous and morally bankrupt. But last night’s episode, with its escalating depiction of women at the cusp of feminism yet not close enough to save them, was in my mind the most…
What size do you wear? If you’re a Hollywood star like Christina Hendricks, Juliana Margulies or Amy Adams, your stylist probably just grabs a size zero. Welcome to vanity sizing.
Joan might have known her way around a 1960s office like she knows how to rock a well-fitting sheath dress, but put her in modern times and she starts to have issues. Stick around for the end though; like a classic mid-century PSA, her struggles come with a lesson.
Fresh off wrapping the final season of Mad Men, Peggy Olson herself floated the idea of giving Joan and Peggy their own show because she digs Christina Hendricks and thinks it would be interesting to see Joan and Peggy head into the 1970's. Yes, please.
Yellow satin? Gold sequins? Lace jumpsuits? Neon slink? Just another day in formal wear in the south of France.
Mad Men star Christina Hendricks turns 39 today. Whoopee—we're the same age!
Don't freak out or anything, but people are going nuts over cheeky monkey Prince William dropping a hint that there might be another lil' royal soon. More accurately, they're going nuts because Prince William, who is still on that Royal Tour in Australia and New Zealand with Kate and George, said something that…
Christina Hendricks has never seen Game of Thrones, but she once in a moment of panic, told a reporter that she'd like to be on it and thus launched a thousand fan fantasies. Even having fessed up to being a little ignorant about the show and books, the Mad Men actress stands by her choice, telling Conan that she'd…

Really great dress. (It's Badgley Mischka.)
In a charming effort to promote his upcoming Disney flick The Pirate Fairy (a Peter Pan re-imagining), Tom Hiddleston, the Captain Hook of the picture, was compelled by Disney Chief Executive Officer Palpatine to sing "Bare Necessities" alongside Christina Hendricks yesterday at the D23 Expo in Anaheim. He may not…
Sigh. Amanda Bynes' repeated insistence on only using her (technically crappy; see above) Twitter selfies comes from a dark place, it looks like. I know: You're totally shocked.
Last night at the Season 6 Mad Men premiere in Los Angeles, the folks from Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce hit the red carpet to celebrate. Don Draper was dapper as usual, but some of his cohorts need to go back to the drawing board and try again.
