MADly in Love

AMC, Thursdays, 10pm

AMC’s new drama MAD MEN is the latest addition to our hit list. The series, set in 1960 New York, captures the happenings inside a big time Madison Avenue ad agency… facing the hassles of a conservative market, the revelation that cigs kill, women in the workforce, etc etc. I love the world sans copy machines, everything seems so… precious.

For the TiVo-less minority, the show reruns on Sundays at 10am and 10:45pm. Giddyup.

For the first time since 2005, XBox gets a price cut! Psshh! While the news media reports this is the upcoming holiday season, we all know its in lieu MADDEN2008, because games sell consoles. Microsoft Corp will reduce the price of the Xbox 360 Premium model by $50, to $350. Now tab over to Amazon… where they dropped the price to $330. Lets note that this development follows the Sony Corp decision to cut the price of its PlayStation 3 to $500.

August 13th, Radar’s September issue, featuring a less than modest Prince Harry, hits newsstands. WTF mate!?? Can the ef-ing PRINCE do this?! Did his grandmother disown him? And how long until the Bush twins (preferably Jenna) make their cover debuts??

As a trend whore… I’m particularly drawn to Christina Aquilera’s back in an ad for her new fragrance. In fact, I want lacey-art-nouveau-ness all over me. I anticipate B-List celebs jumping on this… we’ll give it a month.
