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?

Oprah Winfrey eating a Baltimore crab cake on a private plane, in case you ever wondered if it’s good to be Oprah.

Had my favorite Baltimore’s Best crab cake delivered. You can too. Worth it! @Pappascrabcakes

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. Check him out arriving to set, his beard as grey as we’ve ever seen it. Greyer than ever actually? I wonder how long it’s going to st…      

Finally. Madonna’s Ghosttown video. As of this writing, I’ve only looked at it once so there may be notes to pick up later but you already know how I feel about the song – it’s one of the strongest, if not the strongest, on the album. A proper power ballad. And we haven’t had one from her in a wh…      

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…
