Last year, The Enquirer had an explosive (!) piece about Jon Hamm’s boozehound ways. Apparently, The Hamm had gone from a easy-going social drinker to a fall-down drunk. The Enquirer had some anecdotal evidence at the time, and it’s easy enough to find stories about The Hamm getting his drink on at various Hollywood events. I didn’t think the situation was as dire as The Enquirer’s Sobriety Society, though I did feel a twinge of concern for him. If My Hamm Dong is a drunk, we could beat this thing together. And I think you know what I mean by that.

Anyway, The Enquirer has an interesting follow-up on Hamm’s drinking. Basically, he’s given it up. For now. It seems like a temporary thing, perhaps even for a minor health concern or just a test of willpower:

Jon Hamm has given up booze – and those close to him say he’s feeling better than ever. After numerous reports that Hamm was as heavy a drinker as his TV alter-ego Don Draper, Jon has cleaned up his act, sources tell The Enquirer.

Astonishingly, Hamm was even spotted drinking from a bottle of water – instead of his usual Midori sour – at a recent Golden Globes after-party.

“Jon isn’t touching a drop these days,” a source divulged. “he has given up drinking and completely changed his lifestyle… and he’s never looked better.”

According to the source, Jon went cold turkey just before starting to film the new season of Mad Men in August.

“It’s been a battle, because Jon does like to drink,” the source continued. “But he set himself the challenge and he was determined to stick with it. Even the Golden Globes parties didn’t tempt him – he stayed sober and drank water. People razzed him all night about walking around with a water bottle, but he laughed it off good-naturedly.”

“Jon didn’t want to become another Hollywood casualty, especially now that he’s at the height of his career,” the source noted. “And it certainly shows in his appearance – he’s slimmer, looks healthier, and is sexier than ever!”

Bedhead pointed out that in that Hamm interview she covered yesterday, he was only drinking water during the interview. He also talks about his character’s difficult relationship with alcohol – could it be that The Hamm is trying to avoid The Draper’s pitfalls? Or could it be that he simply wanted to look better, younger, and less booze-bloated for the new season of Mad Men? Whatever… all I know is that sober or drunk, I would love Jon Hamm to whisper “You know what I want” to me in bed (GAH – remember episode one of Season 4?!?!? The Draper likes it rough!!!).

Oddly enough, I resisted jumping into the “Mad Men” cult for years. Yet over the past several months, I’ve quickly caught up on all four seasons (thanks to the magic of Netflix Instant Watch) of the show and am pining for the next season to commence, post haste. Unfortunately, there’s still a bit of a wait left since the Season Five doesn’t begin anew until March 25. However, Jon Hamm is already on the publicity trail; as such, he has already spoken with TV Fanatic about Don Draper’s new engagement. If you’ll recall from the Season Four finale, Don became engaged to his (latest) secretary, Megan, during the season finale. Obviously, Don didn’t really mean to get engaged. He just sort of fell into it; that is, he had the ring in hand already (thanks to a convenient bequest from his confidant, Anna Draper) and thought — what the hell — this chick gets along with my kids. Let’s get engaged. And she said “yes.”

Like most “Mad Men” fans, I have issues with the hasty engagement, but I sort of want Don and Megan to get married … if only for the crazy-teeth babies that will inevitably be produced. Still, I can admit that Don’s prospective second marriage is a very bad idea becase — let’s face it — he makes for a very bad husband. Hamm seems to intuitively sense that his character is an adultering, drunken mess who has no business with marriage, yet he is at the mercy of the show’s writers. So Hamm has opined on several topics, including Elizabeth Moss’ Peggy Olsen character, who will apparently feature significantly in the Season Five premiere entitled “A Little Kiss.” If Don and Peggy kiss, I will officially lose it. She’s too good for him, right?

On Don Draper’s Vices: “I think he has a dangerous relationship with alcohol that a lot of creative people have. And fill in the blank with either alcohol or whatever. It’s a depressant, yet it uninhibits you creatively. It’s a fine line and Don has crossed it many times… [but] Don recognized that and seems to have backed away from the edge a bit.”

On Draper’s Thing With Chicks: Draper, of course, also loves women. In the season four finale, we were left with the indelible image of Don in bed with his brand new twenty-something fiancé, Megan. She’s sleeping on his chest and he turns and stares out the window thoughtfully. When prodded about just what Draper may have been pondering at that moment, Hamm slyly avoided the question. “Yes, he was in fact thinking of something,” the actor admitted.

On Why Don Succeeds At Work But Fails In His Personal Life: “Don makes his money and his livelihood on being creatively ahead of the curve, and finding out what makes people tick. And what happens when you get older? And there’s another generation of people coming up right behind you who are out-moving you and out-thinking you? What happens to a creative person? Don is getting older. It’s not The Simpsons where everyone stays the same age 20 years in. People age and we try and depict that realistically.”

On Peggy and Don: “I think in the world of the show we see the office through Peggy’s eyes. She’s the new girl and we see her from her very first day… And we’ve watched through over 50 episodes of television her grow and become more confident and we’ve watched Don alternately shout at her and correct her and not be very nice to her but also be profoundly nice to her. I think Peggy is very important to Don. And I think you saw at the end of season three, when the firm blows up and they have to start all over again, he says ‘If you leave, I’ll spend the rest of my life trying to hire you back.’ And I think that sums up the relationship that Don and Peggy have.”

On Peggy’s Opinion Affecting Don’s Nuptuals: “We’ll see. Certainly something [is] explored in season five. We don’t really know. And I’ll be as honest as I can, but Peggy and Don are very close. And Peggy has opinions and Don has opinions.”

Hopefully, Don and Peggy will remain just friends as they always have been. Both of them have bailed each other out of their respective messes — Don helped Peggy through her pregnancy-related issues during Season One, and Peggy later bailed Don out of jail when he was arrested for a DUI. For the love of all that is decent, please do not let the “Mad Men” writers ever let Peggy become merely one of Don’s conquests. That would be so wrong in so many ways.

Also, wasn’t Peggy dating that counterculture filmmaker (who was ambiguously hot) at the end of Season 4?

And more importantly, Don is still engaged to Megan and should stay eternally in that state. He probably makes a great boyfriend but has no business being a husband.

After the raging financial and critical success of Bridesmaids, Universal is obviously keen to develop a sequel even if Kristin Wiig isn’t on board, which she reportedly isn’t for the forseeable future. Melissa McCarthy has stepped up to declare that a Wiig-less sequel is a terrible idea, and she’s correct. Still, that doesn’t mean that Universal is above capitalizing upon a striking-hot iron, even if it results in certain disaster.

In the meantime, half of the cast of Bridesmaids appears in an upcoming movie, Friends with Kids, which now has a new trailer. The movie is written, produced, and directed by Jennifer Westfeldt (Kissing Jesica Stein), who is known best around these parts as “Jon Hamm’s girlfriend.” Westfeldt also stars in the film, which also stars Adam Scott and features Hamm along with Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Chris O’Dowd, Edward Burns, and Megan Fox. The story is basically that Westfeldt and Scott’s characters are thirtysomething BFFs who aren’t into each other romantically but decide to have a kid together and pursue future relationships with other people. Yeah, we already know where this is going, right? Here’s the movie’s official synopsis anyway:

Friends With Kids is a daring and poignant ensemble comedy about a close-knit circle of friends at that moment in life when children arrive and everything changes. The last two singles in the group observe the effect that kids have had on their friends’ relationships and wonder if there’s a better way. They decide to have a kid together – and date other people.

There are big laughs and unexpected emotional truths as this unconventional “experiment” leads everyone in the group to question the nature of friendship, family and, finally, true love.

And here’s the trailer for the Friends with Kids:

The movie looks charming enough (for a matinee viewing) but, unfortunately, the trailer renders the entire plot utterly predictable, and I think a YouTube commenter said it best: “Well i have literally seen the entire film. good job. Now i dont have to waste my money.” Still, this looks like an okay way to pass a few hours for fans of the talent involved. Jon Hamm also sat down with Collider to talk about what Westfeldt went through to make this movie and how he helped her as much as possible:

On Getting Friends with Kids Made: “It was tough. Part of it was a little bit self imposed because we wanted to make this movie this year. Normally you go, ‘Well, we will make it when we can make it. We will make it when we get the money, and then we get the thing, and then we will cast it. We will see how long that takes and then we will make it.’ But we were like, ‘We are going to make it in this chunk of time because of my schedule and the schedules of other people that we wanted to be in it.’ So we kind of did it ass backwards where we were like, ‘We are going to do it in this number of time! What do you we need?’ and it was like, ‘Well, you need money, people, and cameras.’ And it was just like, ‘Okay. We have twenty minutes to get all of that together!’ So we set ourselves up to fail miserably. But due to Jen’s incredible hard work, diligence, effort, talent, and charm we were able to call in favors and basically move mountains and do the impossible to get this done, and we did. We shot it in 24 days and we shot it in one of the worst winters that New York has see in 30 some odd years with snow every couple of weeks. We were digging out grip trucks and the lenses had frozen over and we were like, ‘Okay. Well, let’s get a hair dryer on the lens and we will dig up the truck while we are defrosting the lens and then we will be fine. Hopefully the trains will be running by then and we can get some PAs and people up here.’ So it was a challenge. It was a tremendous challenge, but it was exciting in that way that independent film can be. It was like, ‘Well, no one else is going to do it. So we have to do it.’ That was kind of my capacity. Obviously, Jen had her plate very full with directing, starring, producing, and writing the film. So my job was to take out as much from her backpack so that she could stand up straight and share the load a little bit, and hopefully I did.”

Wasn’t that, for lack of a better word, sweet of Jon to do everything humanly possible to help his girlfriend get this movie made? It sounds like he really believes in her abilities too instead of just helping out the chick he’s sleeping with on a long term basis. Basically, he sounds like the perfect boyfriend.

Oh yes, and I almost forgot to talk about Megan Fox, who is shaking things up by not only playing a hooker in The Dictator but also by playing “the new girlfriend” in this movie. Poor Megan is going to have to fight to get anywhere else in Hollywood, and I’m afraid she just doesn’t have the skills to do it. Friends with Kids opens March 9th.

Over the weekend, there was an benefit gala event for the fiftieth anniversary of St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, and several big stars came out. The headliner seemed to be… Mila Kunis? Does that sound right? Well, Mila got most of the attention on the red carpet. She wore Elie Saab, surprisingly enough – because she’s the newest face of Dior, I would have expected her to wear all-Dior, all the time nowadays. But Mila has an existing relationship with the Elie Saab people, and she ended up in this weird purple dress that I don’t really care for. The “lace up” detail along the bust is… odd? Fug? And I hate the fabric fringe at the waist. It makes the dress look unfinished. Still, it’s hard to hate that gorgeous face.

Also at the event: The Hamm Dong. It’s been so long since I’ve written about Jon Hamm! There are rarely new photos of him, and I feel like it’s been years since Mad Men. The new season starts on… MARCH 25th!!!! Son of a bitch. I thought they said it would start this month? AMC A–HOLES!!!! So, basically, I’m not going to get my fix of Draper Dong for another two and a half months? And to make matters worse, The Hamm was trying to hide his bulge from the cameras at the St. Jude’s event. So uncool, dude. This is the reason Michael Fassbender has taken control of my loins. It’s because I needed something in The Hamm’s absence.

God, Jason Bateman looks sexy with a beard. His wife is super-cute too, but look at HIS BEARD. I would tear that up.

Elisabeth Moss… hair issues. I don’t like the dress that much either, but this poor girl and her hair issues. My wish for her in 2012 is that she finds a really great hair stylist and never lets him go.

Not that I ever was incredibly polite about it, but at this point, I can barely contain my dislike of Jon Hamm’s girlfriend, Jennifer Westfeldt. Jesus, how annoying is this chick? Just looking at her crazy Botoxface makes my blood pressure go up, and to hear her voice on the red carpet interviews… it’s ridiculous. She has one of those put-on voices too. It’s too girly and breathy to be her real voice, it sounds like she’s trying to do a Marilyn Monroe impression. Anyway, these are photos of Jon Hamm and Jennifer at last night’s Emmys, where The Hamm Dong was once again denied Emmy glory. Kyle Chandler won Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama series, which… sure, it’s deserved. But for my money, Jon Hamm is acting his ass off through every season of Mad Men, and it’s a damn shame that he’s been shut out of most of the big awards.

At least The Hamm Dong got to take home his Tweety Bird. That’s what she looks like to me. Bird-like face, and this canary-yellow vintage gown that isn’t very flattering on her. She’s too tall, her body is too long for this gown. You can tell that it was made for a much more petite woman. I don’t have a problem with ladies wearing vintage, AT ALL, but if you wear vintage, make sure it fits you the right way.

Did you see The Hamm’s face when Mad Men won Drama Series? Jennifer beamed and went in to kiss him and I swear he looked like he was mid-eye-roll. AT HER, not at the win. LaineyGossip had a story about them together in Toronto to promote Friends With Kids, the film Jennifer wrote and directed, and it made it seem like… maybe there’s trouble in Hamm Dong Paradise?

Maybe I’m being self-absorbed (shocking), but I do think I’m partially to blame for the recent lack of sightings of our beloved Hamm Dong. Not that Jon Hamm hasn’t been around – he has. He’s been filming movies and going to film festivals and all of that good stuff. But it’s been months since we’ve seen him in a tight pair of jeans, with his glorious bulge on display. I think someone told The Hamm that there was an internet sensation (not just on this site) when people began discovering that he often free-balls it, or that The Hamm Dong is simply too big to be encased in a pair of jeans. I think The Hamm tried to downplay his bulge so we would focus on his art. We can do both, Jon!

Maybe last night he just didn’t feel like wearing baggy pants. Maybe The Hamm just felt like giving us a little taste (OMG, my biscuits just screamed “YES!”) of what we’ve been missing. I don’t know. All I know is that it’s wonderful to see our beloved Hamm Dong once again in a tight pair of pants. Also: he shaved! He’s been wearing a beard for months, but I think he probably had to shave for Mad Men, which is filming now. Added bonus: his girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt was nowhere around last night! Huzzah!

By the way, did you hear about the advertising students who are trying to create a viral campaign to get Don Draper to deliver the commencement at their graduation? Not The Hamm – they want The Draper. You can read more about it here.

Back in January, The Enquirer ran a story about Jennifer Aniston’s alleged drinking problem. It was an interesting piece, especially considering that it came on the heels of a public outing where he seemed noticeably drunk to many people. So, The Enquirer is following in their grand tradition with this story, sort of. According to one eyewitness and some unnamed sources around Hollywood, Jon Hamm is quite the boozehound. Much like Aniston, The Hamm is past 40, and this kind of fall-down drunkenness can no longer be excused with “Oh, he’s so young, he doesn’t know his limits.” The Hamm is beyond the age where people shrug their shoulders – when a 40-plus man gets “Hammered,” it’s not really appropriate. If any of this is true, that is.

Friends of Jon Hamm fear that he is taking after his hard-drinking TV character Don Draper – and if he doesn’t back off the bottle, he could land in rehab. Hamm was spotted July 1 stumbling out of Little Dom’s restaurant in LA with his longtime girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt.

“In my opinion, he was absolutely blind drunk!” an eyewitness told The Enquirer. “I was walking in as he was leaving around midnight, and as I opened the door for him, he almost fell out of the bar. I asked him if he was alright as he tripped out of the door and mumbled something incoherently. Jennifer followed right behind him and rolled her eyes.”

Jon is one Hollywood’s leading men. But when the cameras stop rolling, he hit’s the party trail.

“On the set, Jon’s always as sober as a preacher,” a show insider told The Enquirer. “But when he’s not working, he likes to cut loose with a drink or two… or more! By the end of night, he often seems blotto. His nickname is “Hammered.”

Jon’s party-hearty behavior began surfacing two years ago when he got totally drunk at the Golden Globes parties, according to published reports.

“Jon’s a hell of a nice guy,” said the insider. “But his drinking has caused whispers. No one wants to see him end up in rehab.”

I tend to believe that this is at least partially true. The Hamm likes going to parties, and he seems to enjoy his cocktails too. My guess is that he’s probably able to hold his liquor and then some, and he’s probably what I think of as a Social Drinker (but my definition of “social drinker” is not the same as AA’s, just FYI). I believe he’s a nice guy, I believe he’s super-professional, and I believe that he probably has one too many drinks during his downtime, when he’s not working. I sincerely hope he’s not falling out of bars at his age, but maybe he is. If he is, then this is his one and only flaw: he’s a boozehound. A sexy, Hamm-Dongy boozehound who needs help taking off his pants. Mmm…NO. I would never take advantage of a liquor-soaked Hamm Dong. NEVER. Okay, I would, but only if he drunkenly came on to me. And by that, I mean that he whispers “You know I don’t wear underwear, right?”

Over the weekend, I published photos of Christina Hendricks at the LA Film Festival premiere of Drive. Those photos were some of Christina’s worst ever, mostly because her premiere outfit was absolutely hideous – a high-necked, RUFFLED pink and black blouse with a tragic black suit. She added weight to her figure, and… ugh, just go here to review. Anyway, it seems like Christina is trying to mix it up, or perhaps her stylist came back from vacation, because here she is at yesterday’s Critics Choice Television Awards luncheon, looking gorgeous. I prefer her with her hair down, and while this dress doesn’t expose Christina’s “assets”, it’s still surprisingly flattering and slimming. The dress is a BOSS Black “Denna” stretch and wool blend dress with cap sleeves – severely cute, in my opinion. Some large-breasted women can pull off this tight-but-covered cocktail dress look. I am not one of them, but Christina definitely is. She should order this dress in ever color.

I also threw in some more Hamm photos, just because. Every post deserves some Hamm. I really dislike his cheap-looking white suit, but I love his beard.

This Jon Hamm interview isn’t as epic and wonderful as some of his past interviews, but some days, you just need some Hamm (Dong). The premise of this piece is the kick-off of The Hamm’s Emmy campaign. The nominations haven’t even come out yet – they’ll be announced on July 14th. But The Hamm is already being declared “the frontrunner” for the Lead Actor Emmy for Mad Men, mostly because of all of the emotional heavy-lifting he did during the last season. For those of us who watch Mad Men, we remember one of the best episodes of the series, ever, called “The Suitcase”. It was almost all Hamm-Draper and Elisabeth Moss/Peggy, and it was just a superb hour of television, one of the best written and beautifully acted shows I’ve ever seen. The Hamm discusses that particular episode, and he also talks about his man-love for Paul Rudd and Jeff Bridges, and how his heart’s in comedy.

TVLINE | Much of the Emmy discussion about you has focused on “The Suitcase” episode from Mad Men’s fourth season. When you saw the script was almost entirely Don and Peggy (Elisabeth Moss), what was your reaction?
I had a couple of reactions. It was already a hard season for me emotionally with all the stuff my character had gone through to that point, so it was a little bit like, “Jesus, when is this going to end?” But it was also mixed with a kind of delight that this was where this spiral was ending, because I’ve loved the way that my character has interacted with Peggy basically since the pilot. I’ve loved that kind of unknowable kinship and friendship that we’ve established and grown, and in many ways, it felt a little bit like a companion piece to the pilot, only the roles were reversed. [Now Peggy] was the person saying, “What are you doing? What do you think you’re doing to yourself?” She’s kind of the only person in Don’s life who can call him on that without fear of reprisal, and it just comes from such an honest place. I think Elisabeth’s work is so phenomenal. She’s a truly gifted actress, and it was wonderful to get an opportunity to really work one-on-one with her on some really interesting, deep, dark multi-layered scenes.

TVLINE | The episode required a lot of you as an actor. Were you at all intimidated?
Yeah. Honestly, it’s all intimidating. There’s a lot riding on whether or not the audience buys this guy as a real person and the fact that he’s going through these kinds of extraordinary things in his life. If it comes off as not believable in any way, then a huge portion of the impact of what we’re trying to do is lost.

TVLINE | The strength of that episode alone has perhaps made you a frontrunner for the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series Emmy. Does that make you nervous?
I long ago stopped being nervous about that kind of stuff… It’s such a crapshoot and it’s so not up to me and anything that I can really control. If [another nomination] was to happen, that would be phenomenal. I’m incredibly lucky to even be mentioned [with] the Hugh Lauries and the Bryan Cranstons and the Michael Halls, people whose work I’ve looked up to my whole career in some cases, especially in the case of Hugh, whom I’ve been watching since Black Adder. If I’m [even] mentioned in the same breath as those cats, that’s great. That’s what I take out of that.

TVLINE | Not a single performer on Mad Men has won an Emmy despite all the accolades that have been heaped on the series. Some theorize that’s because the work being done on the show is very restrained and quiet. There’s not much scenery-chewing.
I think that might be part of it. We’re not out there killing people and blowing s–t up. There aren’t many moments that you can point to and be like, “That’s the one that’s going to win you an award” or something. But if you look at it as a whole, it’s a pretty substantial thing to point to as an actor. I think there are plenty of examples of that in the history of television. You can look at the actors on The Wire and be like, “Are you kidding me? Not a single person was nominated for any of these performances? This is crazy. It’s some of the best work on television!” But that’s the way it goes. I think that in the brave, new world of television we find ourselves in, there are almost too many good performances now, and that’s a pretty great place to be if you’re a fan of television, which I am.

TVLINE | You seem to cram a lot of work in between your Mad Men seasons, most of it comedy. Is that because you just want to have a good time before you have to turn back into Don Draper?
[Laughs] I think there’s a portion of truth to that. But also, that’s kind of my world. When I first came to L.A., most of the people I hung out with were in the comedy world. And part of it was just being broke. It was a cheap way to go out and have fun. You could go to Largo or M Bar or Comedy Death-Ray or whatever, and see hilarious stuff and spend five bucks. One of my oldest friends in L.A. is Paul Rudd. We were comedy nerds together when he was living in a crappy apartment in North Hollywood. We would go see Patton Oswalt and Sarah Silverman and Paul Tompkins and Zach Galifianakis and these guys that were doing the alternative comedy circuit. So to get the opportunity to work with those guys on my off hours, it’s nice. Honestly, it’s not like you look at Don Draper and go, “Oh, I bet that guy’s really funny. Let’s get him in our goofy ‘Funny or Die’ thing.” That somehow I’ve been able to resonate in that world is certainly nice.

TVLINE | It’s kind of miraculous that you didn’t get typecast as Don Draper. So much of that happens in this business. Was that ever a concern?
Oh, certainly. Once the first season of Mad Men was out there and people were appreciating it and enjoying it, I got a lot of scripts that were Don Draper 2.0 or a dude in a suit in the ’50s and ’60s or a guy in a hat or whatever. I tried to make a conscious decision of, “Well, I do that eight months out of the year. Let’s try to find something that might be a little bit different or might enable me to exercise a little bit of a different muscle or show a different side.” [To get] something like The Town… I was thrilled because it was contemporary. It was a little bit different [for me] and had a little of an edge and was an exciting opportunity to get a chance to work with somebody like Ben [Affleck] or Jeremy [Renner] or Rebecca Hall, the amazing group that we got to assemble for that thing. And the same thing with Bridesmaids. I shot that for two days during Season 4 of Mad Men, so it was a nice break. You don’t want to keep banging on the same piano key because after a while that just gets to be boring.

TVLINE | Do you foresee what your career might look like beyond Mad Men? Could you see yourself becoming a comedy movie star?
Well, I hope I get a chance to do both sides. I think that Paul’s career has been really fun for me to watch because he’s been able to do stuff on Broadway and he’s been able to do big movies and big comedies and produce stuff, and really kind of be the architect of his own future, and it’s been really successful for him. So, yeah, one of my acting heroes, which is such a lame term, but one of the people whose careers I look at as an inspiration is a guy like Jeff Bridges, who has been around since he was 18 years old, has done work in drama and crazy Big Lebowski comedy and now is finally getting recognized as a genius. He’s been an amazing actor for 40 years… Hopefully, life is long and a career is long, and you get an opportunity to do many things. And as you change not only as a human being, but as an actor, different roles come to you. You know, I’m not going to play the young guy really anymore — that ship has sailed. But I do get to work with cool younger people and play different roles, and that’s the exciting thing about having an opportunity like Mad Men. It opens so many other doors.

He’s humble, he’s sweet, and he can he talk your ear off. That’s why I love him. And it’s not just filler conversation, either. The Hamm is quite intelligent, he actually thinks about his life and his work, but he doesn’t live in the Hollywood vacuum. He has perspective. My least favorite part about this interview? That he didn’t refer to Elisabeth Moss as “Lizzie” as he usually does. I love that little habit of his – he almost always calls her by her nickname.

Sigh… Hamm Dong. He’s making it harder to spot in recent photos. It’s almost like he knows we’re ogling the Hamm Dong on a regular basis. Still, even if we can’t see it, we know it’s there, lurking like a nine-inch tailpipe.

Here are some photos of Jon Hamm and his lady love, Lucky McSmugFace. Whatsit… Jennifer Westfeldt. Jennifer and The Hamm Dong were in Cannes to do some early promotion for Friends With Kids, the film that Jennifer wrote and directed, and The Hamm stars in with such luminary talents as… Megan Fox. Even though The Hamm can really do no wrong in my eyes, the white suit look on a man is better left to bon vivants like Tom Wolfe. On The Hamm… well… it’s like he’s really putting in the effort to infuriate dong-watchers. I can’t even make it out in these photos! I blame the cut of pants. And the sheer WHITENESS.

Meanwhile, The Hamm teamed up with Jimmy Fallon for a “live action” version of Saturday Night Live’s long-beloved “Ambiguously Gay Duo”. But Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert also made appearances, and honestly, Colbert stole the piece. Ridiculous. And ridiculously funny:

I liked how The Hamm really sold it! Jimmy did too. I love everyone involved in this mess.
