Jon Hamm

Jon Hamm landed his first solo US Rolling Stone cover for the publication's April issue. He's gearing up for the April 8 return of Mad Men and talked about playing the complicated character Don Draper for six seasons. Jon also touched on the embarrassing talk about his private parts, which have received attention online, including a special Tumblr account, for years. Here's more from Jon Hamm in Rolling Stone:

• On jokes about his anatomy: "Most of it's tongue-in-cheek, but it is a little rude. They're called 'privates' for a reason. I'm wearing pants, for f*ck's sake. Lay off. I mean, it's not like I'm a f*cking lead miner. There are harder jobs in the world. But when people feel the freedom to create Tumblr accounts about my c*ck, I feel like that wasn't part of the deal . . . But whatever. I guess it's better than being called out for the opposite."
• On his similarities with Don Draper: "Don is a very complicated character, and I'm a fairly complicated individual, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. I try to imbue Don with a humanity that is raw and misunderstood and meaningful . . . It's not that I just come in and throw a suit on and act super cool."

Last night, the stars of Mad Men previewed the first episode of the upcoming sixth season for a VIP crowd at the Directors Guild of America's LA theatre. Jon Hamm, January Jones, Christina Hendricks and Elisabeth Moss were among the cast members who turned up for the premiere, but there was more than just a new season to celebrate. Their co-stars Vincent Kartheiser and Alexis Bledel, who had an arc on the show last season, just announced they are engaged! When we caught up with Jon last evening, he told us most of the cast has known about the happy news for a while and are all glad to be able to celebrate it publicly now. Jon attended the premiere with his long-time love, Jennifer Westfeldt, and Christina was joined by her husband, Geoffrey Arend, but Vincent appeared to arrive solo to the screening.

The Mad Men cast and the show's creator, Matthew Weiner, are notoriously tight-lipped about the plot. Still, they assured us that this season of Mad Men, which premieres on April 8, is worth tuning in for. Matthew spoke to us about Jon reprising his role as a director in 2013, Jon told us how portraying Don Draper has changed his life, and Elisabeth Moss talked about what it was like to transition from her 20s to her 30s on screen.

Hollywood's most stylish celebrities turned out for the Costume Designers Guild Awards last night in LA. Anne Hathaway wore a shimmering Gucci frock when she accepted her spotlight award, an honour given to actors and directors for their collaborations with costume designers. Skyfall, Anna Karenina and Mirror Mirror all won awards in the film categories while Downton Abbey and Smash dominated the TV sections.

Other celebrity attendees included Anne's co-star Russell Crowe, Once Upon a Time stars Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas, Amy Poehler, Jon Hamm and Lily Collins, who wore a dramatic black gown with a giant white bow on her back. It was a mini Saturday Night Live reunion behind the scenes when Amy hung out with Kristen Wiig, Steve Martin and Maya Rudolph, with whom she presented an award during the show. The CDG Awards are just one of the many events that lead up to the Oscars, which air in Australia on Monday, Feb. 25.

Award season kicked off this month, and there have already been so many memorable moments. Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom made a glamorous entrance at a Golden Globes after-party while Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain showed off their statues. Sandra Bullock hung out with her The Blind Side co-star Quinton Aaron at the People's Choice Awards and Matthew McConaughey shared a Critics' Choice table with Christian Bale.

The fun continued yesterday as stars celebrated the 70th Annual Golden Globes with HBO's official after party at Circa 55 restaurant in the Beverly Hilton. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban showed love during the bash, while Golden Globe winner Lena Dunham hung out with Judd Apatow inside. Presenter Robert Pattinson and best actress winner Julianne Moore worked the room and Mad Men's Jon Hamm shared a moment with Zosia Mamet from Girls.

The hotel also played host to several other after parties, including celebrations thrown by NBC, InStyle and The Weinstein Company. Celebrities like Joe Manganiello and Ewan McGregor were among the party-hoppers that visited more than one event throughout the evening.

The 2012 US presidential election is just around the corner. Men and women across the country will head to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 6 to cast their votes for President Obama or Gov. Romney; some people, though, have gotten a head start by voting early, including the president himself.

US election season has so far been full of celebrities stumping for their preferred candidates, and in the run up to Tuesday, many of the stars are busier than ever, regardless of their party preferences. Jon Hamm, Bryan Greenberg, Alicia Keys, and even the Hangover crew have stepped out for Obama, and Kid Rock's roused the Republican faithful for Romney. With just a few days to go until America decides, click through to see which celebrities have been busy getting political.

Oh, we do so love when our favourite celebs fly all the way down to Australia to see us! That was the case this week when Robert Pattinson — he of the hot vampire fame — hit Sydney to promote the final installment of Twilight, Breaking Dawn Part 2. While we weren't busy being distracted by Rob, we kept our eyes on the endless amount of royals who hit the town this week — from Kate Middleton sharing a laugh with some special guests, her father-in-law Prince Charles and his wife Camilla chatting to our own Kylie Minogue, to a certain "Royal Hotness" and more, it seemed like a good week to be a member of the royal family! Celebrities were kept busy, too — some were filming shirtless scenes on the beach in Hawaii (tough gig) while others were fitting in world premieres, grand balls, shoe shopping and charity lunches. Phew! We've got a much less exhausting way for you to catch up on all that happened in the celebrity world this week: just click through the gallery, and enjoy!

Jon Hamm was shirtless to shoot Mad Men in Maui on Wednesday. He hit the beach alongside his small-screen wife, played by Jessica Paré. Jessica donned a '60s-era bikini to work on the episode, which will part of the show's sixth season. Jon and Jessica were seen chatting, drinking and reading while on the sand — Jon even got into Dante's Inferno. Later, a fully-dressed Jon joined Jessica to shoot a wedding scene for unidentified characters.

Not much is known about the next crop of Mad Men episodes, but Jon did confirm to us at Saturday's Reel Stories, Real Lives gala that he and some of the cast were heading to Hawaii. Jon and Jessica will be there for two days working on the premiere. Rumours about their shoot in Hawaii emerged after the show's creator Matthew Weiner was seen scouting locations there.

Nora Ephron’s memorial service was held in NYC yesterday and some of Hollywood’s biggest names flocked to the Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall to pay their respects. Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Jon Hamm, Jennifer Westfeldt, Steven Spielberg, Martha Stewart, Steve Martin and Sally Field were just some of the stars who attended the service for the filmmaker behind classics such as When Harry Met Sally . . ., Sleepless in Seattle and You’ve Got Mail. Nora passed away on June 26 after a battle with leukaemia and stars were quick to share anecdotes and memories from working with her.
