Mad Men: Did Don Draper Make the Right Choice?
Originally posted 03/25/2012 11:10PM
When Mad Men's season 4 wrapped up nearly a year and a half ago, Don Draper (Jon Hamm) was on the precipice of a major life change. He had proposed to his young secretary, Megan (Jessica Paré) after taking her on a trip to Disneyland with his children.
As in seasons past, Sunday night's premiere episode has been shrouded in secrecy – with nary a plot point revealed. (Not even the year in which the season is set!)
So, if you haven't seen the season 5 premiere yet, stop reading! There are spoilers ahead …

Mad Men: A Look Back Before Season 5 Premieres
Originally posted 03/22/2012 08:30AM
AMC's Mad Men is back Sunday after an absence of more than a year, and its maniacally intense fans are anticipating what new developments are in the pipeline at the chilled offices of 1960s ad agency Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. Mad Men is too subtle to resort to cliffhangers – people here live or die according to what account gets signed over a business lunch lubricated with drinks – but season 4 ended with everyone poised on the brink of ... something.
Something maybe good, possibly bad. Maybe neither. It's that kind of show. Ominous, but incrementally so.
Before Sunday's premiere, here's a refresher as to where the show's main characters were when we left them:

Christina Hendricks Spices It Up at Home

When not sashaying around the ad agency on Mad Men, Christina Hendricks is likely to be found at home in her kitchen.
"We like to cook," the Emmy nominee, 36, tells PEOPLE about life with husband Geoffrey Arend. "We take turns being the chef and sous chef, and we are constantly looking up recipes and trying something new. It's very rare that we have the same dish twice in our house."
Speaking during the press junket for the new video game Need for Speed: The Run, in which she plays a character who manages outlaw street racers, Hendricks admits to spicing things up. "I like to cook Indian or Indian-inspired kinds of things," she says.
That taste for the tangy also extends to her entertainment.

Wilmer Valderrama beat out a cast of famous faces – including Jeremy Piven, Christina Hendricks, Rob Lowe and Jane Lynch – in a mean game of Angry Birds for charity at the HP TouchSmart gift lounge in L.A. And he celebrated his victory appropriately – by jumping up and down, smiling. Despite winning three games, the actor was trounced in the end by Akon.

Christina Hendricks: I'm Too Busy for Children Right Now
Originally posted 09/13/2011 11:15AM
After almost two years of marriage, Christina Hendricks is still learning it's all right to ask her husband to run to the grocery store.
"My husband does so much to help me, and I do as much to help him as possible," Hendricks, 36, told PEOPLE at the I Don't Know How She Does It premiere Monday in New York. "If one day he's off from work, he'll help me to do something – and vice versa."
Amid two busy careers, the actress and hubby Geoffrey Arend make it work by giving each other a little grace, Hendricks said during the Cinema Society-hosted after party at the Hudson Hotel.
"We've been doing a lot of traveling and different jobs and going back and forth," she said. "I don't freak myself out if something doesn't happen."

Christina Hendricks's Breasts Are Real, Thank You Very Much

Did you even have to ask?
Christina Hendricks confirms in a new interview that, yes, her breasts are real. But she's perplexed that the question even comes up.
"It's so bizarre that people are constantly asking if my breasts are real or fake," the Mad Men beauty, 36, tells the Daily Mail's You magazine. "They're so obviously real that anyone who's ever seen or touched a breast would know."

Christina Hendricks knows what will be in her Christmas stocking – and it won't be a piece of coal.
The Mad Men star, 35, reveals that she's always gotten a personalized piece of fruit.
"My family always does a banana with your name on it in your stocking," she told PEOPLE recently at the opening of House of Walker, Johnnie Walker's private event space for the holidays, in New York City. "You carve [the name] in really lightly with a pencil, and a couple hours later it's nice and black. It sounds so gross but I promise it's really cute!"
So what's the origin of this tradition?

"Women hit on me. My husband thinks it's so odd that so many women hit on me," the ravishing Mad Men redhead tells Harper's Bazaar in its November issue, on newsstands Oct. 26.
