On Sunday, Mad Men actress January Jones ripped United Airlines for a major delay on her yet-to-depart flight.

In a screenshot posted to Instagram stories, Jones showed a page with flight-delay information detailing a 16-hour and 25-minute delay for her trip. Jones tagged United Airlines and wrote, “Do better.”

“A couple of $15 food vouchers isn’t gonna cut it,” she added, “Our 7:30 [flight] last night still hasn’t left.”

Jones followed up with a photo of herself on the airport floor, resting her head on a bag, writing, “Is there still a secretary of transportation? Can’t remember what’s left.”

Jones’ comment was a shot at President Donald Trump, who has cut thousands of federal employees since his inauguration, including hundreds of workers at the Department of Transportation. In January, Trump appointed former reality television personality Sean Duffy as his secretary of transportation.

Mad Men, the critically acclaimed drama series set in the 1960s, is known for its meticulous portrayal of the era’s advertising world, from social dynamics to fashion. However, one aspect that has sparked debate is its treatment of race. While the show reflects the racial segregation of the time, it is often criticized for the minimal visibility of African-American characters.

The show’s creator, Matthew Weiner, has always been known for his meticulous attention to detail, carefully recreating the 1960s era. However, when it comes to the show’s portrayal of race, Weiner candidly defended his approach and revealed the truth behind the limited visibility of African Americans on Madison Avenue.

Mad Men was a loved show among fans and one aspect that drew them to the series was the near-accurate portrayal of the ’60s. The Jon Hamm series not only covered the small details of the time but also often delved into the politics of the period. During the sixth season portraying the year 1968, creator Matthew Weiner made sure to include many references from the country’s political history.

When asked about the historical references in Mad Men Season 6, Weiner shared that he wanted to address these issues primarily because of the political landscape of the country during the time of the airing of the series. The political events of 1968 are accurately reflected in the series, where the characters struggle to adjust to the changing office dynamics.

January Jones played the forever-troubled Betty Draper in AMC’s Mad Men. Initially paired up with Jon Hamm’s Don Draper, Jones’ character has an incredible arc as the seasons progress and for her performance, she received a Primetime Emmy and two Golden Globe Award nominations.

One of the most interesting arcs for Betty Draper is her weight condition in season five. While the makers had already wanted to explore that storyline, January Jones’ pregnancy at the time reportedly gave them the perfect opportunity to explore it. However, Jones reportedly had to undergo severe preparation to perform that season.

Jeremy Lott and Cory Goodman are writing the script.

Mad Men has contributed more to the world of television entertainment than most other series. From launching the Second Golden Age of television to revolutionizing the storytelling format, the AMC period drama marked a shift in pop culture by tapping into the stark reality hiding behind the illusion of the American Dream.

However, Mad Men represented more than the New York ad sector and the hypercompetitive market boom of the 1960s. It also highlights the fears and desires that drive people to realize their potential. The series steps beyond the margins of drama and questions the fundamental truth about identity itself.

Within its engrossing narrative, Jon Hamm, January Jones, Elisabeth Moss, and others worked to carve out a distinct space for themselves even surrounded by such intricate actors like John Slattery and Christina Hendricks.

Action icon Liam Neeson is headed to Max...but he doesn’t remember that he’s an action icon. The Taken star leads 2011’s Unknown, which finds the acclaimed actor taking the lead as a man who, after waking up from a coma, doesn’t remember who he is. But, even stranger, no one else remembers him either. And another man is claiming to be who he thinks he is. While that may have made the movie sound a little confusing, it’s really not, with the movie allowing Neeson to leap from a frightened everyman to the grizzled action star we’ve all come to know and love.

Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, who recently found huge success on Netflix with the Christmas action outing Carry-On, Unknown stars Liam Neeson alongside Diane Kruger, January Jones, Aidan Quinn, Bruno Ganz, and Frank Langella. Based on the 2003 French novel by Didier Van Cauwelaert,...

Yellowstone star Kevin Costner finalized his divorce from his second wife, Christine Baumgartner, last February after 18 years of marriage. Having just turned 70, Costner says he hasn’t been looking for a new lover for his new decade.

Despite recent reports linking him to Jennifer Lopez, a source close to the actor told People that he is “in a good place and having fun with his family and friends.” However, in recent months, Costner has been linked to various female celebrities, including Sharon Stone, Jewel and January Jones.

Costner feels comfortable staying on the market without being tied down romantically. “He is not seriously involved with anyone and not necessarily looking for anything more than that right now,” the insider said. “Kevin is cool, real, and in some ways old-school in his thinking. He has a lot of interests and loves being busy when he is in that mode.”

When considering modern warfare, most Americans don't imagine an air-conditioned box in the middle of the Nevada desert, in which a soldier operates a drone from 7,400 miles away. That's because, thanks to technological advancements in weaponry, monitoring and destroying 'enemy' targets has become as easy as pressing a button on a video game controller. The 2014 war drama Good Kill, written and directed by Andrew Niccol, draws audiences into this world of drones and dread, presenting a labyrinth of moral dilemmas that are, frighteningly, all too real.

Ethan Hawke stars in the lead role of Air Force Major Tommy Egan, a far cry from his recent mastery of villainous characters. Egan is a pilot who has been reassigned as a drone operator during the War on Terror. At nighttime (daytime in Afghanistan), Egan travels from his suburban home with a wife and two kids to an isolated area where he pilots unmanned armed Mq-9 Reaper drones.

Clear heels are one of the hottest celebrity footwear trends, but unfortunately, the see-through material puts every foot imperfection on display.

Foot fog, exposed chipped nail polish, and scrunched-up toes are just a few of the transparent shoe disasters involving sweaty feet we’ve noticed.

How to Stop Foot Odor and Keep Your Feet Fresh

The American Podiatric Medical Association (Apma) states that excessive foot sweating can indicate hyperhidrosis. However, almost everyone will experience having sweaty feet at times. It can lead to health issues such as odor, athlete’s foot, and toenail fungus.

Nearly 10 years after her run as Sally Draper ended, Kiernan Shipka has a new take on the character.

The Mad Men alum recently reflected on how the AMC show’s cast and crew “were so protective over me” while filming the mature ’60s-set series, which ran for seven seasons from 2007 to 2015.

Although she “definitely had context” for what she was reacting to, Shipka explained on Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s Dinner’s On Me podcast that she was ultimately shielded from some of the show’s more risqué material.

“They were so protective over me and my kind of innocence and not exposing me to stuff that, you know, was sensitive or more adult,” said Shipka. “I always knew what I was reacting to. Like, I always knew what [my character] was walking in on. I just didn’t have to see it over and over again.”

She continued, “I think at a certain point,...

While Kiernan Shipka appreciates the Mad Men team for trying to shield her from the show’s adult content as a child actor, she admits she kind of understood what was going on at the time.

The actress recently appeared on the Dinner’s on Me podcast, where she looked back at starring in the hit series as Sally Draper at just 6 years old. However, she told host Jesse Tyler Ferguson that she actually remembers nearly everything from her time on Mad Men, which ran for seven seasons.

“I don’t know if it was because my brain and body just decided to remember, like, audition, first day, whole thing,” Shipka explained. “I’m glad for that. I mean, I’m sure there’s some days that are a blip, but that’s kind of everything.”

Though her onscreen parents Don and Betty Draper (played by Jon Hamm and January Jones,...

Four-time Academy Award nominee Ed Harris has starred in his fair share of movie and TV westerns, always delivering a memorable turn no matter what his character calls for. Whether starring as the Man in Black in Westworld or playing Virgil Cole in the underrated Appaloosa, it's apparent that Harris has a fondness for playing cowboys along the American frontier.

In 2013, Harris starred in a lesser-known western called Sweetwater by filmmaking siblings Logan and Noah Miller. Despite a few overwrought dramatic sequences, the epic showdowns, blazing gunfights, and visceral action scenes help compensate. Now that the film is available to stream on Prime Video, giving subscribers an idea of what to expect, where the movie excels, and how Ed Harris and co-star Jason Isaacs save will help decide if Sweetwater is digestible.

Imagine Mad Men without Jon Hamm’s brooding Don Draper—impossible, right? Well, it nearly happened. And oddly enough, his devastatingly good looks were the problem. Studio execs fretted that Hamm might be too handsome for viewers to buy him as the complex, troubled ad man, fearing his charm could overshadow the gritty 1960s narrative.

As if that weren’t enough, The Sopranos icon James Gandolfini almost sealed the show’s fate before it aired, as his powerhouse performance left everyone questioning if another morally gray lead could ever work. The combo of Hamm’s looks and Gandolfini’s shadow nearly killed the series, but luckily, Mad Men managed to break through—proving that charm, danger, and a killer suit could redefine TV drama.

Kyle Edward Ball, the writer and director behind 2023’s micro-budget horror hit “Skinamarink,” has teamed up with A24 for his next film, “The Land of Nod.”

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but Ball will write and direct the project, which will be released globally by A24.

“The Land of Nod” will be produced by Ronald Bronstein, Eli Bush and Josh Safdie under their new production banner Central Pictures; SpectreVision’s Lawrence Inglee, Daniel Noah and Elijah Wood; as well as Tatiana Bears and Bruno Vernaschi Berman. Theo Vieljeux will executive produce.

Ball made “Skinamarink,” his feature debut, for only $15,000. The film, which combined David Lynch’s lo-fi style from “Inland Empire” with the aesthetic of dusty ’70s family movies pulled from the attic, opened to theaters in January 2023 via IFC Midnight and pulled in more than $2 million.

"Saturday Night Live" has been going on for 50 seasons now, so they've had their fair share of bad hosts. Sometimes the host is simply not that comfortable with live acting -- looking at you, January Jones or Jacob Elordi -- and sometimes the host has the bad luck of getting a cold at the worst possible moment, like what seemingly happened to poor Jean Smart in the season 50 premiere. Other times the host is bad because, well, they're just kind of a bad person.

Case in point: Steven Seagal, who hosted in April 1991 and helped deliver an episode so terrible that it got him banned from the show forever. Over three decades later, most "SNL" fans are happy to just pretend the episode never happened, because ite was a trainwreck in a way that wasn't even that fun or interesting.

Christina Hendricks had several years of stage experience before she landed her breakout role in Mad Men. She brought Joan Harris to life and also bagged several high-profile awards for the same. While her acting on the show was remarkable, it also brought a deeper issue of Hollywood’s long-standing exploitation of female actors.

The Jon Hamm starrer brought major publicity for the actress, but for all the wrong reasons. She, along with other female co-stars, faced the troubling pattern of objectification. And now, a recent Mad Men search history perfectly showcased how this objectification didn’t stop with Hendricks.

Many know Anna Osceola as Jon Hamm's wife, and while the pair did meet on the Mad Men set, many are surprised to learn who Osceola played. The acclaimed AMC series centers around Hamm's Don Draper, an advertising executive in 1960s New York who's a chronic womanizer. Don is repeatedly unfaithful throughout both of his marriages, finding sexual conquests at the office, swanky Manhattan cocktail bars, and even California, a place near and dear to Don's heart that he visits frequently throughout the show.

It's California where Don finds himself in the series finale, and the Mad Men ending sees him the lowest he's ever been. He's all alone, having divorced Megan (Jessica Par), and has recently learned that his other ex-wife, Betty (January Jones) has terminal lung cancer. Despite her prognosis, Betty doesn't want their children to live with Don. Full of regret, Don turns to the...

Mad Men star January Jones is shaking things up with a new haircut, saying goodbye to her famous blonde bob. The Emmy-nominated actress took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, September 18, where she shared a snap showing off her new look. Jones is seen with darker, sandy-brown hair styled in a messy bun with parted bangs. She’s also wearing sunglasses, a red cardigan, gray hotpants, and thick white socks with a red stripe. Jones is recognized for her iconic blonde bob, seen in her Golden Globe-nominated role as Betty Draper in Mad Men, Melissa Chartres in the post-apocalyptic comedy series The Last Man on Earth, and villain Emma Frost in X-Men: First Class. She’d still been sporting the blonde locks up until July, as photos on her Instagram show. January Jones Instagram The Spinning Out star previously teased the new haircut in a photo celebrating her son Xander Dane’s 13th birthday.

Ever since Marvel re-attained the rights to the X-Men franchise back in 2019, fans have been eagerly waiting to see their favorite mutants make a comeback to the big screen. After 5 years, the studio has still not revealed any plans for the super team yet. However, that hasn’t stopped MCU fans from sharing their thoughts on which stars could be the perfect fit for some of the beloved characters. In fact, shortly after Sydney Sweeney’s Madame Web, everyone agreed that she would’ve been the right choice for another role in the mutant franchise.

In 2007, the AMC show Mad Men captivated fans with its gripping storyline and intense characters like Jon Hamm’s Don Draper. While fans quickly fell in love with the questionable character, there were some others that viewers were not extremely fond of. One of those was January Jones’ Betty Draper. Although she was a stunning and dotting housewife, the character came with her own set of problems.

In fact, even the actress, Jones, was skeptical about how audiences would view the elegant yet troubled housewife. After all, with her battles with depression, strained relationships, and eventually a terminal illness, the star’s biggest concern almost became a reality.

January Jones reveals her biggest fear for Betty Draper

Betty Draper, played by January Jones in Mad Men, is a complex character who embodies the struggles of the 1960s suburban housewife. Although at first glance,...

When it comes to the feminist themes of "Mad Men," it's typically Peggy (Elisabeth Moss) at the front of the conversation. She's on a clear upward journey from the moment she shows up in the pilot, and spends the show slowly but surely rising through the ranks of a male-dominated corporate environment. Then there's Betty (January Jones) as Peggy's polar opposite, a woman who spends the series trapped in an unfulfilling housewife role, even though she's not stupid and she speaks Italian; she totally could've enjoyed that career in psychology if she'd been born a little later.

In the middle is Joan. She's introduced as an extension of the mean girl trope, and characterized as sort of vain and shallow. She casually espouses all the ideals about gender roles that the show itself clearly wants to criticize. She comes from a time where looks really are almost all that matters for a woman,...

Don Draper (Jon Hamm) had 19 mistresses throughout Mad Men's seven seasons, not counting his three wives, making all of Don Draper's mistresses difficult to keep up with. Mad Men was one of AMC's prestige series that followed the lives and careers of Madison Avenue advertising executives throughout the 1960s. While the other ad men of Sterling Cooper also carried on extra-marital affairs, Donald F. Draper had the most by far. While Draper is married to Betty Hofstadt (January Jones), the character went on to have an unrivaled infidelity streak.

Despite having two kids with Betty, Don cheated on her numerous times as his advertising career took off. In Mad Men season 3, Betty, who long suspected Don's infidelities, learned that he's really Dick Whitman. Betty divorced Don, who then married his secretary, Megan Calvet (Jessica Pare) between seasons 4 and 5. He couldn't stay faithful to Megan either, and despite attempts...

Despite Sydney Sweeney being fan-cast as Black Cat in the MCU, I think she's a far better match for one iconic femme fatale in Marvel Studios' upcoming X-Men reboot. Sydney Sweeney, best known for her roles in Euphoria, The Handmaid's Tale and Anyone But You, has been a popular MCU fan-cast for quite some time. Sweeney's Marvel debut in the laughable Madame Web only made theories of her recasting even more prevalent, but while I'd love her to join the MCU, I have a different opinion on which Marvel Comics character she should play.

The most popular fan-cast theory suggests that Sydney Sweeney would be perfect for Felicia Hardy's Black Cat in the upcoming Spider-Man 4. I wouldn't be mad about this choice, as I think Sweeney and Tom Holland would have fantastic chemistry on-screen, and it would be great to see a love-interest other than Mj in the MCU.

Jim Carrey is one of the biggest working movie stars with decades of celebrated and successful projects, and he has the large net worth to go along with that career. Getting his start in the early 1980s with some small TV and movie roles, Jim Carrey really came to wider attention with In Living Color. From there, Carrey went on to become one of the most successful comedy movie stars of the 1990s with incredible performances in Ace Ventura, Dumb and Dumber, and much more. In the 2000s, Carrey entered a more dramatic portion of his career.

These new Jim Carrey movies saw the actor exploring darker and more psychological aspects of the world. It was an exploration that spilled over into his real life, as seen in the documentary Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond. His life was also rocked by the passing of his girlfriend, Cathriona White, who...

There are a lot of characters in Spider-Man’s mythos who need to make an appearance in the MCU. While the films reimagined Mary Jane, there are other staples of Spider-Man’s stories that are yet to make an appearance in the MCU. Be it Harry Osborn, Gwen Stacy, or Black Cat, these characters, that are important to Peter Parker’s personal life, have yet to even meet the character in the Sacred Timeline.

There are rumors that Sydney Sweeney has been offered the role of Black Cat in Spider-Man 4, which will take the character in a new direction.

Given that The Fantastic Four and the X-Men are making their way into the MCU,...

Hugh Jackman's Wolverine has only broken one surprising trend once in his live-action X-Men movie history. Hugh Jackman first appeared as James "Logan" Howlett's Wolverine in 2000's X-Men, and has gone on to become one of the longest-running superhero actors of all time, with appearances in ten feature films spanning the last 24 years. Jackman's most recent appearance in 2024's Deadpool & Wolverine marked his debut in the MCU proper, but this Marvel Studios project continued a brilliant Wolverine trend established in 20th Century Fox's X-Men franchise.

During the original X-Men trilogy, Hugh Jackman's Wolverine became the backbone of Fox's X-Men franchise. This led to the development of a solo trilogy for the clawed mutant, which gave him plenty of time to develop, and many opportunities to show off his incredible abilities. One of these abilities, it seems, was the power to remove his shirt, which Wolverine did in almost all of his live-action appearances,...

Mad Men star Jon Hamm was prepared to walk away from the acclaimed series for being underpaid at a certain point during its run. The actor played the charismatic ad executive Don Draper for seven seasons on the iconic show.

Hamm discussed his stellar career in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, where the actor recalled being prepared to leave Mad Men after Season 4. "There was definitely a moment on Mad Men where I was wildly underpaid, and that was corrected. And you go, 'Ok, good,'" he said. "But it came with a fair amount of wrestling. I was like, 'Guys, heres the deal, I will walk away from this. You need to know that.'" Hamm reiterated his resolve when asked if he would have left the series definitively, adding, "Absolutely. It was after Season 4, which was really difficult for me. I was like, 'Call my bluff.'...

Mad Men was a major turning point in Jon Hamm's career, launching him into stardom. Hamm struggled with typecasting post-Mad Men, shifting from suave drama to comedic roles for variety. Post-Mad Men, Hamm starred in Fargo Season 5, showcasing his dramatic range alongside comedic roles.

Mad Men, the AMC period drama about Manhattan advertising executives in the 1960s, was the major turning point in Jon Hamm's career. Starting out in the art department for softcore adult movies, Hamm landed the leading role of Don Draper in the series and his career skyrocketed exponentially. A complex and emotionally selfish survivor of the Vietnam War, Draper is one of the leading executives in Manhattan with a convoluted past strung on a web of lies.

One time, Alyson Hannigan almost missed the bus back to band camp.

Ahead of the 1999 teen movie’s 25th anniversary, the American Pie actress reminisced about her role as lovable band nerd Michelle Flaherty in the raunchy franchise and how she almost wasn’t in the sequels.

“The best story from the whole thing was that, you know, it was a low-budget movie with all these tiers of negotiations,” Hannigan told Vulture. “There was an A-tier and a B-tier. I think I was on the bottom C-tier with Seann [William Scott].”

She explained that the tiers were “in regards to pay,” adding: “So it’s just scale plus 10 [percent to an agent]. There’s no negotiating on the C-tier because the character is not that important.

“I was like, ‘Okay, fine.’ It was seven days and it was more of a passion project. Then, in the contract, there was a sequel clause,” Hannigan continued.

When I was a kid, Professor Charles Xavier and his band of mutant outcasts were at their peak with Chris Claremont’s X-Men bringing the super-team into the households of young comic book readers everywhere. Needless to say, I’m absolutely stoked by the recently released Disney Plus continuation of the 1990s animated TV series and have had X-Men on the brain 24/7 these days… seriously guys, I’ve worn this sweatshirt like every day since mid-March… And seeing as I’ve been let down by the last couple of movies I’ve covered on this show- Today I’m going to be selfish and talk about an entry in the Fox X-Men universe that I love. A film that breathed new life into the decaying franchise with exciting new timelines and a fresh filmmaker with bright eyes and a passion for comics. A movie that...

She was ice that was never allowed to thaw. Betty Draper was never given the courtesy to explore the depths of her emotions. She was painted as an unsympathetic villain, and the cruel, harsh wife of Mad Mens antihero, Don Draper (Jon Hamm). Portrayed by January Jones, she is the unsung supertrooper of the AMC series and gives one of its most misunderstood, complex portrayals.

Deadpool & Wolverine bridges the gap between Fox's X-Men universe and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A part of the McU's Multiverse Saga, the upcoming film will follow its titular duo as they explore alternate realities with a little help from the Time Variance Authority. The highly anticipated film will finally hit theaters on July 26.

Not only will Deadpool & Wolverine bring back Ryan Reynolds's Wade Wilson and Hugh Jackman's Logan, but the film will also feature several characters from Fox's defunct X-Men universe. The trailers are certainly hiding plenty of surprises, but also suggest that there could be several villains from the X-Men franchise who make their long-awaited returns in Deadpool & Wolverine.
