  • Christina Hendricks Stoic at 2015 Emmys, Didn’t Crack A Smile When Jon Hamm Won

    Christina Hendricks was positively stoic at the 2015 Emmys on Sunday. The Mad Men star didn’t even smile when her costar Jon Hamm won his first Emmy.

    Jon Hamm was nominated eight seasons in a row for his Mad Men role. When he finally won on Sunday, the crowd went wild–everyone, that is, except Christina Hendricks. Instead of smiling, cheering, or showing any sort of emotion whatsoever, she politely applauded.

    Hamm had the audience in stitches as he literally climbed up on stage to accept his Emmy. There was still no reaction from Christina Hendricks.

    Is it possible that Christina Hendricks is one of those people who can’t feel another person’s joy? Was she in some way jealous of Jon Hamm?

    Another of Jon Hamm’s costars–Elisabeth Moss–smiled broadly, and stood to congratulate him on his big win.

    During his acceptance speech, Hamm cracked a joke.

    Christina Hendricks didn’t laugh.

    What crawled up Christina Hendricks’ butt and died? Something surely caused the blank stoic look that plagued the Mad Men actress at the 2015 Emmy Awards.

    Did you watch the Emmys? Were you privy to Christina Hendricks and her devout stoicism?

  • Elisabeth Moss Wouldn’t Give Up ‘Mad Men’ Ending, Even When Jesse Tyler Ferguson Begged

    Elisabeth Moss wouldn’t think of giving away the series finale of Mad Men–not even when Jesse Tyler Ferguson begged her to at the Lucille Lortel Awards. The two served as presenters at the event on Friday.

    Long revered for her Mad Men role as Peggy Olson, Elisabeth Moss is just one of the actors who has kept fans on their toes, wondering how the series will end.

    On Sunday, everyone will find out.

    Page Six reports that Jesse Tyler Ferguson really tried his best to get Elisabeth Moss to give up the goods.

    The Modern Family star admitted he is a huge Mad Men fan, then directly asked Elisabeth Moss from the Lucille Lortel Awards stage.

    “How’s it going to end? You can just whisper it in my ear,” he joked.

    Elisabeth Moss leaned close to the actor, pretending to divulge the ending.

    “Oh my God . . . So he was a woman the whole time?” he said.

    Recently, Elisabeth Moss talked about how she imagines Peggy Olson’s future–post Mad Men.

    Will you be among the throngs of Mad Men fans tuning in on Sunday night to see how the AMC series ends?

    Not only will they be saying goodbye to Elisabeth Moss as Peggy Olson, but to Jon Hamm as Don Draper, Christina Hendricks as Joan Harris, Roger Sterling as John Slattery, January Jones as Betty Francis, and Pete Campbell as Vincent Kartheiser, too.

  • Elisabeth Moss Moves From “Mad Men” To Broadway

    Elisabeth Moss has been acting since she was a kid, but it wasn’t until a certain AMC drama came along that she became a household name. After spending seven years in the booze-and-misogyny-filled world of Mad Men, however, she’s branching out to the stage.

    Moss will reportedly take on Broadway in a revival of the award-winning play The Heidi Chronicles, in which she’ll play the lead role in the coming of age story. And although it’s quite a change from the world she’s immersed herself in for Mad Men, it does begin in the 1960’s. The play tells a tale over the course of 20 years as Heidi learns about herself and the people around her.

    The Heidi Chronicles will also star Orange Is The New Black actor Jason Biggs, among others, and will open in a limited run in February.

    Although Moss has spent a lot of time cultivating her character Peggy Olson on the hit drama, she also has a long list of movie credits on her resume and starred last year in the award-winning series Top Of The Lake, in which she tried on a New Zealand accent.

    You can see Moss next in the dark comedy Listen Up Philip, with Jason Schwartzman and Krysten Ritter.

    15. I am obsessed with sushi.

    The One I Love is the story of Ethan (Mark Duplass) and Sophie (Moss), who are struggling with their marriage. Deciding to embark on a journey to figure things out, they seek a therapist (Ted Danson), who suggests they take a special retreat. Telling the couple the retreat has helped countless other couples, the couple heed his advice and off they go.

    “When they get there, weird sh– happens,” said first time director Charlie McDowell to Entertainment Weekly, unwilling to share more for fear of divulging spoilers.

    “It’s an in-depth relationship study,” said Duplass. “When you first start dating someone, or are trying to date someone, you present yourself as this person who is probably a lot cooler, smarter, more sensitive, more well read than you really are. And then you get to know them and you feel more comfortable, then you start to reveal that you are petty and a little jealous and a little snarky. That is a fascinating thing to us. How do you maintain that relationship and that love when the people you’re with start to change? We try to use a very pointed, odd plot device to examine that.”

  • Elisabeth Moss Shares Dirt On Marriage To Fred Armisen

    Elisabeth Moss plays a young woman who has it all on “Mad Men”, but in a recent interview with New York Magazine , she talks about how her marriage to former “Saturday Night Live” star Fred Armisen was anything but perfect.

    Moss has agreed with Armisen’s admission that he is a “terrible husband” and said that she’s glad the marriage ended when it did and not years from now, after children.

    “Looking back, I feel like I was really young, and at the time I didn’t think that I was that young,” Moss said. “It was extremely traumatic and awful and horrible. it turned out for the best. I’m glad that I’m not there. I’m glad that it didn’t happen when I was 50. I’m glad I didn’t have kids. And I got that out of the way. Hopefully. Like, that’s probably not going to happen again.”

    Armisen, who has found success with “Portlandia” and is now the band leader for Jimmy Fallon on “The Tonight Show”, has admitted that he moves too quickly in relationships and then finds himself “freaking out”.

    “I want it all — fast … I want to be married,” Armisen told Howard Stern. “The amount of girls I’ve lived with — right away — and then somewhere around a year, two years, I get freaked out. Freaked out emotionally … and I actually feel like, ‘oh my god, who is this stranger in my house?’”

    “One of the greatest things I heard someone say about him is, ‘He’s so great at doing impersonations. But the greatest impersonation he does is that of a normal person.’” Moss said in a 2012 interview.

    The former couple have both moved on, with Moss talking about her success on “Mad Men” in the interview. As many fans have figured out, her character, Peggy, has been a central figure on the show all along, not necessarily Don Draper.

    “In the opening credits, my name is after Jon Hamm’s, who stars as Draper,” she said. “But when I did the pilot I was not necessarily in that position. I’m No. 4 on the call sheet. But Matt put me second in the credits. I guess he knew what was going to happen.”

  • Elisabeth Moss Says Marriage To Fred Armisen Was Bad

    Sometimes when celebrity couples breakup, no one really knows why, because a lot of famous people do a stellar job of keeping the bitter details of their separation out of the press.

    But that’s not the case with Elisabeth Moss and her ex-husband Fred Armisen, as Moss recently sat down with New York magazine to reveal why their marriage didn’t work–and she didn’t pull any punches.

    “Looking back, I feel like I was really young, and at the time I didn’t think that I was that young, said Moss. “It was extremely traumatic and awful and horrible. At the same time, it turned out for the best. I’m glad that I’m not there.”

    In addition, the Mad Men actress said she’s glad the divorce happened early on in her life and not later, and she’s happy her and Armisen didn’t have any kids.

    “I’m glad that it didn’t happen when I was 50,” she said. “I’m glad I didn’t have any kids, and I got that out of the way, hopefully. Like, that’s probably not going to happen again.”

    When Armisen–who made a name for himself through Saturday Night Live— split from his wife in 2011, the breakup was extremely public, which was the absolute worst part, said Moss.

    And she was always skeptical about relationship stories in the press, she said, but since her divorce she has no faith in them at all and hated the fact the media told so many lies about her. Plus, it really bothered her that so many reports got the details of her divorce all wrong.

    “I always knew that the stuff that you read is not true,” stated Moss. “But when I was in the situation and you really, actually read things that you apparently said or did that are 100 percent made up….It’s just strange, simple thing of, that’s your heart they’re talking about, and it just, it sucks.”

  • Moss Slams Piven For “Being Highly Unprofessional”

    Elisabeth Moss slammed her former Broadway co-star Jeremy Piven over what she was “highly unprofessional” behavior.

    During an appearance on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, Moss spoke on her time working with Piven during the production of Speed-The-Plow. The official story is that Piven left the production after coming down with mercury poisoning from his predominantly fish-based diet. Moss says that it was just an excuse.

    Moss says Piven didn’t look like somebody who was suffering from mercury poisoning when she saw him a month after he quit the production. She says that he was “being highly unprofessional” when he just didn’t show up one day.

    In the same interview, she talked about fellow Mad Men co-star Jon Hamm’s “ham.” She said that she’s seen the picture, but that’s all she knows.

    Moss can currently be seen on television in the sixth season of Mad Men. The next season will be the show’s last so it’s anybody’s guess where she’ll end up afterwards.
