Jon Hamm’s Glorious Emmy Moment Tarnished By Gassy Pooch

Consider this a late entry to Louis’ “I was totally sleeping when Emmy nominations were announced !” round-up. Jon Hamm also claimed to be snoozing when he got his third nomination for Best Actor in a Drama — but, ever the pro, he added an extra kicker. Seems his dog, Cora, was in bed with him as well and was so overcome with excitement that she “farted in [his] face.” So, next time you think of Don Draper, all slick and smooth with his mid-century modern cool, just imagine him with a faceful of kibble farts. See how cool Don Draper is then. [ TV Guide ]

Emmy Nominations Spur ‘Glee’ Cast Text-Message Chain

‘Mad Men’ star Jon Hamm says he, too, ‘woke up to 18 texts’ congratulating him. By Kelley L. Carter Matthew Morrison, Lea Michele, Chris Colfer and Jane Lynch Photo: Angela Weiss/ Getty Images The sweet, gleeful sound of a text-message alert woke Jane Lynch up Thursday morning (July 8). “I was aroused from a deep sleep!” the actress told People magazine about her 5 a.m. text. “It’s always a surprise and it’s always exciting.” Lynch was being informed that she was nominated for an Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy for her work on “Glee” and also for a guest spot on CBS’ “Two and a Half Men.” Likewise, co-star Matthew Morrison was nominated for Best Lead Actor in a Comedy and told the magazine that he prepped himself for the early morning Emmy announcements by running 7 miles. “You try to not put too much importance on something like this, and I want to say it doesn’t matter to me, but I can’t seem to wipe this smile off my face right now,” he said. “Glee” racked up 19 nominations, which Morrison said set off a text-message chain. “I talked to [creator] Ryan [Murphy and] I’m so happy for [fellow nominee] Chris Colfer . I texted Jane and I texted Lea [Michele], and I texted the hair and makeup department! We have all been in the loop,” he said. Colfer, 20, plays newly out-of-the-closet high school student Kurt Hummel. “I knew there was the possibility, but I don’t think I could have expected this,” he said, adding that he phoned just about everyone, including “the lunch ladies from my high school and pretty much anyone!” Colfer also told USA Today that the recognition was extra special because many of his fans have shared with him the significance of his character. “I know how important the character is to so many people, especially kids who have been told it’s not OK to be who they are,” he said. “The thing I’m most excited about is those kids get to see Kurt get nominated.” The “Glee” actors weren’t the only ones sending around text messages. “Mad Men” star Jon Hamm told USA Today that he “woke up to 18 texts. That’s sort of a new development,” said the actor, who also was nominated for his guest stint on NBC’s “30 Rock.” The 62nd annual awards show will air Sunday, August 20.

THG Movie Reviews: An Average Date Night

Date Night stars Tina Fey and Steve Carell, actors responsible for uttering 30 Rock quotes and The Office quotes each week that leave us in stiches. Therefore, you’d expect the film to be the funniest of the year; heck, of the last 10 years. Instead, it’s simply an average comedy. You’ll laugh out loud a couple times, and probably have a smirk on your face throughout its 88-minute running time. But considering it stars two comedic heavyweights, the movie is a letdown. The reason is simple, too: instead of relying on a funny script, Date Night relies too heavily on its leads. Certain lines may be humorous because Fey or Carell delivers them, but there’s nothing in the plot or dialogue itself that stands out. It comes as no surprise, for example, that the best scene in the film involves a stripper routine that Carell improvised. It’s a shame that the on-screen debut of Fey and Carel as a team didn’t take place in a movie penned by the actress herself. She wrote Mean Girls , after all, an underrated classic. She was also the head writer for years on Saturday Night Live and the main influence on 30 Rock . Instead of Fey’s brilliant, snarky one-liners (the kind that have earned Alec Baldwin numerous Emmy nominations), her and Carell are stuck doing slapstick and reciting jokes that are far beneath them. We understand that Carell doesn’t want to simply do a version of Michael Scott in every role, but this is an actor who’s at his funniest when he recites ridiculous dialogue, or finds himelf in ridiculous situations, that his character takes seriously. He’s a master at subtlety and at sarcasm. Neither of those are on display in Date Night , as finds Fey driving herself a car, with Carell on the hood, and screaming for him to “Move your ass, honey!” Typical situations such as that just make us wish we were watching Liz Lemon. But the film isn’t awful. It also features Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis and James Franco, a solid cast all-around. Check out photos of the cast at the NYC premiere and then chime in if you’ve seen Date Night : What did you think?
