TV Tonight: Breaking Bad
It took a while for me to get into AMC's drama series Breaking Bad, but once the show got its claws into me, I could hardly do anything but watch. I once spent the better part of a weekend powering through the episodes I hadn't seen yet, and I get antsy waiting for 10 p.m. to roll around on Sundays so I can see what Walt White (Bryan Cranston) has gotten up to now.
Jon Hamm Takes a Break to Party With Some Bad Guys
After spending last weekend celebrating at the Oscars afterparties, Jon Hamm and his girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt switched gears on Thursday night to attend a bash for the small screen. They joined a few of his Mad Men costars at an event to kick off a new season of his fellow AMC drama Breaking Bad. Jon's show won't be back until later this year, but it's fun to see him popping up in other places as we wait for his return to TV as Don Draper.
Break Into Breaking Bad Before Season Two Begins
AMC's Breaking Bad — you know, its critically acclaimed series that isn't Mad Men — came and went all too quickly during its first season. But seven episodes were enough for Emmy voters, who honored star Bryan Cranston as the year's best dramatic lead actor.
The show returns for a full second season on March 8 at 10 p.m., and if you still have some catching up to do, clear about seven hours from your schedule and dive right in: AMC is showing a marathon of first-season episodes starting at 8 p.m.

Hollywood Gets Independent and Spirited Before the Oscars
Before we were overcome with Oscar mania, lots of stars headed to the Independent Spirit Awards in LA on Saturday. After the exciting red carpet, the show was full of parodies and dance numbers featuring Teri Hatcher, Christina Applegate and Rainn Wilson goofing it up onstage. The Wrestler was a big winner, taking home honors for Best Film as well as Best Male Lead.
Live From the Emmy Press Room: Mad Men
The cast of Mad Men was completely delightful in the Emmy press room, where they were celebrating their Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series — the first basic cable series to win that award. Several cast members sipped champagne, and Jon Hamm and Elisabeth Moss snapped iPhone pictures of each other.
Series creator Matthew Weiner called the win gratifying for a show that "resonates with the human condition," and he said it was something of a victory for every writer who's ever toiled away on a TV script at a library or a Starbucks.
Jon Hamm Leaves His Don Draper Smokes and Booze at Home
Mad Men's Jon Hamm headed to the dog park showing off his post-Emmy glow. While he didn't win for Best Actor, he walked away with a Best Drama Series statue and was happy as could be in the press room joking around with his costars and praising fellow AMC-er Bryan Cranston for his win. The handsome Hamm also fielded questions about his new heartthrob status, though he admitted that he still feels a bit like the kid no one will talk to at lunch.
Announcing the 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards Nominees!
Hollywood was up bright and early this morning for the announcement of the nominees for the 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards. We'd been speculating for a while about who'd be on the list, and now we know: Mad Men indeed got a lot of love, with nominations in the Outstanding Drama Series category and several of the acting categories (though I'm sad to see the show's women shut out), while Pushing Daisies and Samantha Who? were the two new network series to break through.
Lindsay, Samantha, and Emmy Stars Celebrate the Night Away
After the highs and lows of the Emmys show the party really got started. For many, the first stop was the Governor's Ball like Heidi in yet another gown before the other bashes. Some were off to the ET/People bash while others went to hear Samantha Ronson spin at Kress nightclub for the TV Guide soiree.
