This is so cute!

Friday can’t come soon enough if you’re Maci Bookout. Recently, she posted a picture of herself and Bentley on her Instagram stating that she and her son are geared up and ready to see The Longest Ride this Friday. In the picture, we see Bentley wearing a rodeo hat, which is just too-cute-for-words. Also, we can see that he’s starting to lose some of those baby teeth! It must be from all of that bull riding he’s been doing ;). Maci captioned the photo:

“We’re super excited to watch @LongestRideMovie on Friday. Tag who you’re taking to see it! #TheLongestRide #sp”

So, are you going to go see The Longest Ride this Friday? Let us know by leaving a comment below.

Jon Hamm has been promoting the last episodes of Mad Men for several weeks now. Something strange happened though – his partner Jennifer Westfeldt hasn’t been to any of the Mad Men events. It’s strange in the sense that, historically, Jennifer was almost always at Hamm’s side for every major (and many minor) events. Page Six’s source said last week that Westfeldt was MIA because someone in her family was sick. I also theorized (to myself) that Westfeldt wanted to give Hamm some space following his stay in rehab, perhaps to let him figure out who he was now that he’s sober. But The Daily Mail/In Touch Weekly says something else was going on. Their sources say Jennifer dumped him. Whoa.

It’s the end of an era for Jon Hamm, whose AMC series Mad Men has come to a close after seven seasons. Now comes word that the 44-year-old actor’s 18-year-long relationship with actress Jennifer Westfeldt has also reached an end.

(DailyMail.com reached out to the actor’s representative on Wednesday, but did not receive an immediate response.)

Jon, who recently completed a 30-day stay for alcoholism at Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan, Connecticut, was reportedly given the boot before he entered the treatment facility. And according to In Touch Weekly, Jennifer, 45, broke up with Hamm due to a lack of commitment on his part.

‘She told it was over before he checked into rehab,’ a source told the publication. ‘She was tired of waiting for a commitment from Jon.’

The break-up was apparently amicable and the two remain on friendly terms, In Touch reported. Jon, who completed his rehab program sometime in late March, continues to hold a torch for the blonde Kissing Jessica Stein star and wishes to rekindle the relationship. Despite the belief that neither one wanted to get married, Jennifer did want the wedding ring, according to In Touch.

‘Jennifer wants a life that Jon can’t give her. Jennifer was tired of it,’ the source said. ‘People are happy for her and hoping she never takes him back.’

Eh. IF they did break up and IF the breakup happened before Hamm went to rehab, why not go with the obvious explanation? That Jennifer dumped him as some kind of tough-love because he was drinking too much and she didn’t want to watch booze destroy his life? That she thought breaking up with him would be the wake-up call he needed to get his life in order? Doesn’t that explanation make more sense?

Alternate theory: Hamm cheated on her while he was a boozy mess and she finally had enough of that.

Oh, and late last night, Jon’s rep issued this statement: “The story that appeared in this week’s edition of In Touch magazine is not true. The only gentleman Jennifer visited regularly in Connecticut was Jon, while he was in rehab. They continue to ask for the public’s understanding and sensitivity during this challenging time.” Is ALL of it untrue? Like, let’s parse it – it’s untrue because In Touch gave the wrong reason for the split? Eh.

Tamera is accepting the fact early that she’s going to have a little slugger on her hands.

Tamera Mowry, 36, recently posted a picture on her Instagram of her son, Aden. In the picture, we see Aden sleeping in his bed in what appears to be a striped onesie and a little monkey blanket on top of him. However, it’s what’s in his hand that has Tamera concerned — a baseball! That’s right; her son, Aden, sleeps with his baseball in his hand. Tamera captioned the adorable photo:

“He sleeps with his baseball. Ok God I’ve accepted my calling as his momma. This boy loves baseball. I repeat. I will be a baseball momma.”

Get ready, Tamera, because we predict a lot of baseball games in your future!

Of all the old Sean Connery-James Bond films, Goldfinger is one of my favorites. The plot makes some kind of sense, the villain is properly evil (nothing “misunderstood” or “I see his point” about Mr. Goldfinger) and it features one of the coolest assassinations ever: death by skin suffocation, or death by gold paint (a plot point which has since been debunked). Goldfinger also features a kickass theme song (love Shirley Bassey) and one of the best-named villainess/heroines in Ian Fleming’s canon: Pussy Galore. You haven’t lived until you’ve heard Sean Connery work out her name with his thick Scottish accent.

Anyway, Pussy Galore was played by English actress Honor Blackman. Blackman turns 90 years old this year, and she’s still working and she still has opinions about the Bond franchise and everything. And unlike Roger Moore, Blackman doesn’t have a problem with the way James Bond has changed over the years and how he will continue to change. Blackman gave a lengthy interview to The Daily Mirror about Bond and much more. Some highlights:

Her thoughts on Daniel Craig: “I’m sorry to say he’s a better actor – but I think Sean would acknowledge that. I think Dan is terrific. He’s capable of so much more. Sean was perfection as Bond only as Ian Fleming wrote it. He was a Mr Universe entrant, he was handsome and very, very sexy and had that ridiculous accent. Now it’s no longer like Ian Fleming, it’s more like The Bourne Identity. It’s a different kind of film. But that doesn’t make any difference to the fact they’re super films and Daniel is probably the best actor that ever played Bond.”

James Bond has evolved: “You’re talking to somebody who is terribly biased. Ian Fleming wrote a certain character and it was fun when we accepted he was a misogynist and a brutal fellow, but we loved him just the same. But nowadays, unfortunately, we find that totally unacceptable. Now he has to love somebody, he has to care about women, he has to do all the things Fleming never intended.”

She thinks a black James Bond would be awesome: “I think he can be anything he likes. Why can’t he be a black man? You have to be a good actor and you’ve got to be a very attractive man – that’s half the battle – otherwise you can’t play Bond.”

She’s against the monarchy & the Tories: In 2002 the republican turned down the offer of a CBE. Though she’s a traditional Lib Dem voter she says her sympathies could lie with Labour. “The Conservatives bend like mad to the money and they can’t help it – they’re all those kinds of people.”

Damn, I hope I’m as cool as Honor Blackman when I’m her age. She feels very… spicy. And like she actually pays attention to pop culture and societal trends, enough to reference the Jason Bourne films and talk about Daniel Craig’s abilities as an actor. She’s very sharp. I agree with her that Daniel is a better actor than Sean Connery, but I’m not sure if Daniel is the best actor to every play Bond. Pierce Brosnan was and is a very good actor. Timothy Dalton is a good actor too. Lord, I hope Honor Blackman lives long enough to see Idris Elba playing James Bond!

One of the biggest disappointments from the Mad Men press tour is that Jon Hamm hasn’t had the chance to sit down and tell more hard truths about how he thinks Kim Kardashian is a “f—king idiot” and we shouldn’t celebrate that kind of car-crash celebrity nonsense. I’ve been wondering if Hamm has been trying to avoid pissing people off in general, maybe because he just got out of rehab and maybe because he’s worried about the next stage of his career.

But whatever, that’s not the point of this story. The point is that at least one Mad Men cast member appreciates Kim Kardashian. That cast member? It’s not who I would expect: Vincent Kartheiser! Despite the fact that Vincent ended up marrying major TV sweetheart Alexis Bledel, he doesn’t really pay attention to celebrity culture or schmoozing or kissing ass, that sort of thing. He doesn’t seem to have much interest in any of that beyond his work. We don’t really know what he does in his spare time, because he won’t say. And that’s by design. He doesn’t want to reveal too much, which is why he’s grateful for people like Kim Kardashian.

Around the 42-minute mark of The Mark Shapiro Podcast, Vincent Kartheiser explained that appreciates those who are willing to put themselves out there (and thus, “pay the consequences”).

“Thank God for Kim Kardashian,” he said. “Because, really, she does something that actors haven’t wanted to do for decades, which is to put her personal life on display. And she does it freely. And she takes a lot of burden off of other actors. And for that, she does a great service for us.”

He makes a good point, actually. Kim is desperate for attention and she will sell, shill and pimp anything and anyone for even a sliver of attention. And thus, she takes the heat off the celebrities/actors who don’t want to shill any part of their private life. Kim Kardashian has gone from “gossip filler” to “legit gossip” (and sometimes she’s even the biggest story of the day). Well said, Vincent.

Way back in 2012, Dean’s first post was about… well… Mimi of course. And, specifically, it was about how Mimi has basically trademarked Christmas. Like it BELONGS to her. Click here to read the rules of a Mimi Christmas.

So why did it take this long for a Mimi Christmas movie to happen?

Brad Pitt was in New Orleans yesterday working on The Big Short. He has a supporting role in the film with Christian Bale and Ryan Gosling and he’s also producing.

Mischa Barton is in a strange spot career-wise. She’s not old enough to be “forgotten” but she’s not relevant enough to come up as a casting choice. Basically her trade is horror movies and traveling theatre productions. I wondered why she hadn’t tried a CW show but in fact she has, in 2012. It d…
