As you’ve probably learned from AMC’s aggressive, multi-media “End of an Era” campaign (Hey, it is a show about advertising, after all.) the final episodes of Mad Men will begin airing on Sunday, April 5. The TV spots and banner ads may be a tad dramatic (as advertisements generally are), but the conclusion of the show that made AMC an original programming juggernaut does mark the end of an era in more ways than one. For one thing, Don Draper is following Tony Soprano, Walter White, and Dexter Morgan out the door, and who will replace him as TV’s most effed-up anti-hero? (As much as we love him, Saul Goodman/Jimmy McGill doesn’t seem quite up to the task. He’s just to…lovable.) But when Don stubs out his final cigarette, it’s not just the Age of the Brooding White Guy that will come to a close. The final seven episodes of Mad Men will likely explore the end of the 1960s, the end of a corporate world that’s dominated entirely by men like Don, and the end of what many consider to be the golden age of media and advertising. It’s a lot to take on, and based on comments he made almost four years ago, creator Matthew Weiner intends to wrap things up not with a bang, but with a massive jump forward in time: “What I’m looking for, and how I hope to end the show, is like … It’s 2011,” Weiner said. “Don Draper would be 84 right now. I want to leave the show in a place where you have an idea of what it meant and how it’s related to you.” Needless to say, it sounds as though Weiner is planning the exact opposite of a Sopranos-style non-ending. (Perhaps he learned his lesson from his time as a staff writer on the HBO mob series.) If he carries through on his plan, it’ll certainly be a shock to see Don Draper – the consummate man of his times – living in the 21st Century. Can you imagine Don/Dick receiving an-Emoji-laden text message from his grandkids? We can’t. But then, maybe that’s the point… If you still need to catch up in time for tonight’s finale, watch Mad Men online at TV Fanatic. And if – like the show’s central characters – you’ve blacked out on any of the major events, check out some of Mad Men’s most memorable moments in the gallery below: 9 Memorable Mad Men Moments 1.

Well, that was a little scary. A man appeared this week on Ellen and danced on a treadmill to Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson’s hit “Uptown Funk.” Yes, a freaking treadmill! The actor-choreographer first uploaded a video to his Facebook account in March. The dancing looks VERY dangerous. One wrong move and something bad could happen, so don’t try this at home, kids. Carson Dean Does Uptown Funk Treadmill Dance on Ellen Ellen DeGeneres was understandably very intrigued by the dancer and that’s why he got invited on her show. She chatted to him about his skills and he revealed that he never actually meant to make the video public. (Yeah, we believe you). The clip has been viewed over 50 million times, a number a chart-topping artist would kill to achieve on a single video. The amount of views are THAT good. “I just made the video for my friends and family to see on Facebook. I clicked the private thing,” the L.A. resident explained to DeGeneres. “Well, I thought I did.” The talk show hot most recently spoke to Kelly Clarkson and spoke about her weight criticism . Ellen also revealed that she gave some of his moves a go and how she fared. “I have tried to do one or two of those moves,” DeGeneres teased. “And it’s not as easy as you think it is.” We can’t think of anyone that could come close to pulling off those moves!

Everyone is entitled to a change of heart, right? In honor of “#ManCrushEveryday,” which is apparently a thing, Amber Rose posted took a few moments on Instagram today to send a message to estranged husband Wiz Khalifa. It included a photo of the former couple French kissing, along with a very sweet plea. “We went wrong somewhere and even if we never ever get back together (Even tho I pray, dream and hope we do) he will forever be the love of my life,” Rose wrote. We didn’t exactly see this dedication coming, considering Rose filed for divorce from Khalifa in September. She then went on to accuse Khalifa of cheating on her (with twins, allegedly), while Wiz referred to Amber as a stripper and a ho in recent song. Despite all these seemingly major issues, Rose blames the media for the couple’s downfall… for some reason. “The media doesn’t make it easy but fuck them we gotta live for reality and not society,” she wrote today. “We forever have a bond because we made a beautiful baby from our Love. (The stars share custody of a two-year old son named Sebastian.) “Through all the ups and downs of our relationship my heart still beats for him every single day. I’m sick of putting on a front like I’m happy without him. I’m not. He makes me happy. “He’s the only one who can. Regardless of how our lives Turn out in the long run he will always be the skinny tatted up stoner that has my heart.” AWWWW! That’s sort of sweet, huh? In its own effed up way?

It was raining men on Grey’s Anatomy Season 11 Episode 18 , what with Derek back in Seattle and Kevin Alejandro debuting as police captain Dan Pruitt and Taylor John Smith getting his flirt on with Stephanie. We started out on a positive note, with Meredith telling Maggie she has it all and would even “beat herself up” over being one of those people… if she wasn’t having so much sex with her husband. That husband, meanwhile, was learning that he needed Amelia’s approval to be reinstated. She had her doubts that he could be second in command, but he proved himself by hour’s end, as Amelia even opened up to her brother about Owen Elsewhere, Richard welcomed some elementary school kids on a field trip to the hospital, only for them to be present when two shot cops (who were brothers!) were brought it. Both died within a half hour and Callie was left to examine their captain, who had been shot in the leg. Due to surgery, he’d have to be off his legs for up to eight weeks, but Dan said he didn’t mind. He just fired his weapon for the first time in 14 years and a desk job sounded pretty great right about now. Next, the teenager who drove the robbery getaway car was wheeled in. Go watch Grey’s Anatomy online and you’ll see he needed a new liver, STAT. After Meredith refused to do so, Bailey asked the mother of one of the dead cops to donate the organ from one of her kids. She said no at first, but then changed her mind after Dan explained that the police had all been trying to help the troubled kid. Stephanie, meanwhile, hit it off with the cute chaperone of the school trip. Too bad he was only 17 years old! Also, Dan basically asked Callie out and Jackson honored Mark by cleaning up the fallen cops before their mom saw them. What did you think of the introduction of Dan? The return of McDreamy? The Case of the Week? Sound off now and then prepare for Grey’s Anatomy Season 11 Episode 19 next Thursday! 9 TV Shows That SHOULD Be Canceled 1. Grey’s Anatomy It’s been an amazing run for the show that put Shonda Rhimes on the map. But a plane crash, a hospital shooter and an earthquake later, there’s just nowhere else for this show to go. Nearly all original cast members have departed. Grey’s Anatomy should say goodbye before it soars too high over the shark. 2. Revenge The red sharpie barely makes an appearance any longer on this once-suspenseful ABC drama. Any revenge plan that takes this long to carry out likely isn’t gonna be successful. 3. Homeland Homeland basically died along with Nicholas Brody. It’s just a watered down version of what it once was now. 4. American Idol It’s just sad to watch this former ratings juggernaut limp to its conclusion… with no real end in sight.

Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD It turns out that a Marvel universe without superheroes just isn’t all that exciting. 7. Keeping Up with the Kardashians Just… please… make… it… stop. 8. The Bachelorette Once producers resort to the gimmick of TWO Bachelorettes basically pulling each other’s hair out and possibly offering the guys sexual favors in order to earn the honor of being voted the sole Bachelorette… we’re pretty sure it’s time to move on.

As previously reported and documented, Justin Bieber is a new path. He’s apologizing for his past behavior, he’s getting Roasted on Comedy Central , he’s staying single so he can focus on self-improvement . And he’s dressing in drag?!? Justin Bieber in Drag! Yes, at least on an episode of Lip Sync Battle, which premieres tonight on Spike. The new series will be hosted by LL Cool J (with Chrissy Teigen on color commentary) and it will feature Bieber at one point channeling Ozzy Osbourne while performing the rock legend’s 1980 hit “Crazy Train.” He’s got the black wig. He’s got the trenchcoat. He’s got the eye-liner and he definitely has the intensity. Back in February, Spike TV taped 10 episodes of Lip Sync Battle in New York City. Inspired by Jimmy Fallon’s awesome segment on The Tonight Show, the program will also feature appearances by Malin Akerman, Dwayne Johnson, John Legend, Jennifer Lopez, Meghan Trainor and many others. We’re excited to see them all, but we find it impossible for anyone to ever top Emma Stone lip-syncing . Merely watching that performance ranks as like a top-five moments in our lives. 17 Lip Dubs We Loves 1. Brian Williams Lip Dubs “Gin and Juice” View Video It’s lip dub time again for Brian Williams!

Let it be known that what follows is no April Fool’s joke. In fact, this is serious. Blockbuster mega-stars Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig are featuring in none other than – wait for it – a Lifetime movie. Though we aren’t sure how serious the tone of the movie will be, sources confirm the duo will star in the forthcoming Lifetime movie titled A Deadly Adoption. The film will be kicking off the 25th anniversary of Lifetime’s made-for-tv genre. There is chatter that the film could have both a serious and campy edge. Ferrell and Wiig star as a couple hoping to adopt a woman’s unborn baby (Jessica Lowndes of 90210 ). Of course, things go awry. And we are hoping it does so in true Ferrell and Wiig style when the film, slated for a summer premiere on Lifetime, arrives. Will Ferrell is apparently a fan of the made-for-TV genre and wants to celebrate it with his own film. He will serve as its executive producer along with Adam McKay. Not only does A Deadly Adoption mark the first time Ferrell or Wiig have starred in a Lifetime film, it also celebrates the reunion of Wiig, Ferrell, and McKay. The trio is best known for their work together on Anchorman 2 . Now, the elephant in the room is Melissa Gilbert. Certainly, she has to be jealous that she might lose her title as the made-for-TV queen to Will Ferrell … SNL 40: Fashion Hits and Misses 1.

Dear Bossip , I’m writing in for some advice. I know you’re famous for your saying, “mind yo damn business,” which I am doing, but something is just not sitting well with me. I’ve been staying with a friend of my mothers. I call her my auntie because the length of time her and my mom have been friends. She can be cool, but over the years I’ve noticed how manipulating and conniving she is. For example, she does my taxes and the year she did my taxes she got her utilities switched over in my name without me knowing. I confronted her and got everything turned off, but that’s not why I’m writing you. My aunt had been on and off with this guy for nine years. He’s been caught cheating numerous of times so my aunt had let him do him until he was ready to come home. He even cheated with one of my friends. SMH! One day, my mom came into town. My mom lives in a different state. I stayed behind to finish college and that’s why I’m staying with my mom’s friend. My mom and I were on the Metro train on our way to Chicago when this lady started talking about this man. The man had the same name as my aunt’s boyfriend. So, my mom being the nosey one, decided to join in on the conversation. She started asking question like “Joseph” who? The lady got on at the same train stop as us so my mom knew she probably was talking about someone in town. The lady was a big blabber mouth and spilled all the tea. She gave his first and last name and a full blown description of him. My mom and I both knew she was talking about my aunt’s on and off boyfriend of nine years. The most disgusting part came afterwards. She told us that “Joseph” had been involved with her sister and that he gave her AIDS. The look on mine and my mother’s face was priceless. We were moved by those allegations. Once we left the city, and headed back up to my aunt’s home, that’s when my mom sat my aunt down and told her the news. I wasn’t in the room when my mom broke it to her, but when she walked out I could see the hurt on my aunt’s face. She waited for “Joseph” to come over to confront him. He denied the allegations quick, but my aunt told him on that following Monday that she would like to get tested with him. That Monday came and they both went. About a week or so later she went to get her results. She wanted him to go, but he was nowhere to be found. She got her results and they were positive. She called him and he said he got his results and they were negative. She asked him if he had documentation to prove his claim and he said he threw it out. Yeah right! My aunt stopped messing with him after getting her results back, but that’s not what’s bothering me. My aunt started dating this older man and he takes good care of her and her daughter. He even threw me a few bucks here and there. My aunt likes to talk to me about her private life and she told me they are not intimate, but she hadn’t disclosed her status to him. About 3 months ago they called it quits and now my aunt is messing with another guy. This guy is fresh out of jail and they seem pretty cozy together. My aunt tells me they haven’t been intimate, mind you I don’t ask for any of this information, she just willingly tells me this stuff. I know it’s a lie though. She left her diary out one day and I just happened to read the latest entry. She talked about having unprotected sex with him. I cringed when I read that because he does not know she’s positive. I’ve been minding my business and not adding input about anything, but this is wrong on so many levels. I’m not going to say anything because it’s not my place to tell, but my auntie is wrong for that. I understand what her ex did to her is unforgivable, but she’s doing the same exact thing to others. Now, I doubt that she was honest about being intimate with the older guy, and on top of that the guy has cancer and is possibly HIV positive. I don’t want to say anything, but is there any insight you could give me? I don’t want to say anything, but is there any way I could talk to my aunt without her getting mad at me for snooping? I want to be real with my aunt and let her know what she’s doing is wrong, but at the same time these man are old enough to know that once they choose to have unprotected sex with someone there is a big risk factor involved. It’s none of my business that is why I’ve been so quiet about the whole situation, but I feel like since I know the truth, as crazy as it seems, it makes be somehow involved and guilty about knowing. – Protecting The Truth Dear Ms. Protecting The Truth , What your so-called ‘aunt,’ your mom’s friend, is doing is wrong. But, please don’t mistake your loyalty to her for protecting the truth. From the beginning this woman has been manipulative and deceptive. When she did your taxes she used your name and social security number to get utilities turned on in her name. That is unforgivable. I know you are to forgive folks, but you don’t forget. She is a con artist. No matter what, she will do whatever she can to get over on others, and now she is swindling men and not being honest about her HIV status. She is vile, disgusting, and trifling. Therefore, I don’t think you should be protecting her, or her status. She is playing a dangerous game with other people’s lives. She is putting other people at risk by not revealing her status, and one of those men will come back and do some serious harm to her once they find out what she’s doing. So, I recommend you step to your aunt, confront her, and tell her that she is wrong for what she is doing. You give her an option: Either she tells the men she’s been sleeping with about her status, or you will tell them. You let her know that you love her and appreciate her for allowing you to stay with her, but you can’t hide the truth from these men because it is wrong. They deserve to know what they are getting into, even if they decide to be intimate with her and have unprotected sex. Besides, she may be telling them she is not, and not saying anything at all. I also would recommend that you get your mother involved with this, and you and your mother confront her together. You need a support system, and someone whom your “aunt” may listen to. She may feel it’s none of your business and you should stay out of it. But, your mom seems to have a close relationship with her, and she’s already confronted her before when you and she learned that your “aunt’s” previous boyfriend was HIV positive. Your mom seems to have a great way of confronting and being honest with her friend. So, call on your mother to be a support system with you, and let her know that you would like to confront her together. Also, I know you are staying with her because you are in college, and it may be saving you money, but it’s time to move. You don’t need to be in that environment. It’s toxic. She’s already used you before without your knowledge, and she is doing it again. You know her secret, and she is bringing different men in and out of HER house, and she is expecting you not to say anything, but she keeps telling you all her business with these men. Therefore, she is making you complicit by revealing her intimate details of her life. You don’t need to be hearing her personal business, and you should politely tell her that you don’t feel comfortable having these type of conversations with her about her personal sex life. Especially knowing that she is HIV positive and she is not being honest with the men. So, remove yourself from this environment to avoid being obligated to keep her secret and from being complicit in her lies. Lastly, removing yourself will relieve you of the stress and aggravation of keeping her secret. You don’t need to be worrying about her, her choices, and who she’s sleeping with. You should be focused on school, enjoying yourself, and hanging out with your friends. Your life should not be wrapped up in some older woman’s sexual exploits. And, you don’t owe her anything, especially if she is playing a dangerous game with her HIV status and not telling these men. You let her know that you will no longer sit idly by and watch her destroy other people’s lives. You love her, and you appreciate her for everything she’s done for you, but her behavior is reckless, irresponsible, and dangerous. And, that is something you can’t morally or ethically live with. – Terrance Dean Photo courtesy: Shuttershock Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!
