Peggy Sue Olson got married!

After a 10-month engagement, Mad Men star Elisabeth Moss and Saturday Night Live funnyman Fred Armisen tied the knot in New York yesterday—the one-year anniversary of Jon Hamm's SNL hosting stint, a date that also happened to be the very first meeting of the newlyweds.

Moss' rep confirmed to E! News that the duo swapped vows at The Foundry in Long Island City yesterday. Moss modeled a Claire Pettibone gown in a ceremony attended by family and friends.

No word on whether those friends included Don Draper himself or any SNL cohorts; considering the couple's well-guarded privacy, we may never know.

Which means we'll just have to assume Armisen promised his Scientologist bride with a pan, a comb and perhaps a cat.

In fact, we can thank a rather surprising source that their nuptials were made public...

Oh look, it's January Jones and her rack again. 

The latest GQ cover got a lot of people around the Internet talking about how the petite Mad Men actress's breasts appear Photoshopped. (What if there was no Internet; where would we have such important conversations?)

Now the men's mag has decided to respond to this very muted uproar. GQ's Director of Photography Dora Somosi blogs that the breasts in question are in fact very real and spectacular.

"People think that a person will look the same in every photograph, but that just doesn't happen," Dora writes. "You can have two pictures in the same light, same clothes, same setting, and just a couple of seconds of difference, just the way you move your hands or the way you hold your neck, will change how your body looks. Also, she's a smaller woman—she's pretty thin, so it might throw a person off to see her looking this way...Terry [Richardson] likes to work with harder lighting, and that can create a stronger shadow—that, and body position and perspective could give the illusion that her breasts are bigger."

So do we buy it? Or more importantly, do we all know who January Jones is now?

Mad Men star Christina Hendricks owes Vincent Karthesier big time. 

The 34-year-old star, who plays Joan Holloway on the Emmy-winning AMC series, wed her actor fiancé Geoffrey Arend in a ceremony at II Buco restaurant in New York City Sunday, according to People. 

The couple was engaged in December 2008 after Kartheiser, Hendrick's Mad Men co-star, introduced them. 

Hendricks, who called the Carolina Herrera bridal gown she planned to don at the wedding "timeless," said she and her 31-year-old hubby wanted to keep the ceremony small. 

"We really wanted it to be filled with our absolute best friends and our family", Hendricks told E! News in September. "We didn't want to spread ourselves too thin and we really wanted it to have a warm environment, so we kept it with the tightest people." 

A wedding and all that Mad Men Emmy love? Definitely not a bad year for the saucy TV secretary.

Just ask Ted Danson: blackface isn't funny. We're glad super-suave types like Don Draper and Harry Connick Jr. agree.

A couple weeks ago, Mad Men's resident hunk—along with TV viewers—was understandably horrified by pal Roger Sterling's "My Old Kentucky Home" routine.

Yesterday, it was Connick's turn to take offense at a similar shtick.

The crooner was appearing on the Australian TV show Hey Hey It's Saturday (yes, it was Wednesday, but hey hey, we're talking about kangaroo land, after all) when there was a sketch called "Jackson Jive," mocking Michael Jackson and his brothers..in blackface.

And Connick wasn't amused.

"I just wanted to say on behalf of my country, I know it was done humorously, but we've spent so much time trying to not make black people look like buffoons, that when we see something like that, we take it really to heart," he said.

"You know how much I love this show and this country...[but] if I knew that was going to be part of the show, I probably—I definitely wouldn't have done it."

All we have to say is hurray for Harry.

With all the smoking, drinking, sex and lies on Mad Men, you'd think it wouldn't exactly be kid-friendly.

To a tiny extent, you'd think wrong.

The Emmy-winning AMC show is getting the Sesame Street treatment on fictional network EMC (E is for emotional). That's right, Jon Hamm's Don Draper dons a felt suit.

The mysterious ad hero is hard at work coming up with a campaign for the Happy Honeybear account. He's working with two "sycophants," but we're not quite sure which one is supposed to be smarmy Pete Campbell and which one represents Sal Romano.

Together, they get mad, they get sad and then, like us watching this clip, they get happy.

The tents at Bryant Park are being disassembled, and socialites everywhere are getting a foot rub. New York Fashion Week has come to a close.

This season brought bright colors and bold prints and even brighter, bolder celebrities.

From Lady Gaga performing at the Marc Jacobs afterparty to Mickey Rourke ogling "fat" models, stars—and the swarm of aggressive photographers that followed them—couldn't be avoided. So, we did what we do best. We mingled with them!

Taylor Swift told us what she thought of the Tommy Hilfiger show, Mad Men's January Jones explained Jon Hamm's appeal, and Emily Blunt talked about her hands (you know, the ones with the big rock from John Krasinski). And that's just the tip of the very swanky iceberg.

Who thinks Michael Vick is persona non grata? Who thinks Mad Men is chintzy? Who thinks a well-timed surprise pregnancy is ever bad for ratings, much less Kourtney Kardashian's? 

The answers—and more questions—in the latest TV ratings quiz:

1. True or false: People, especially women, will not pay to see Michael Vick? To be determined come the NFL season. But we do now know that people, especially women, will watch the football-playing, dog-fighting ringleader on free TV. 60 Minutes, which featured Vick's first post-jail interview on Sunday night, finished second in Nielsen's latest broadcast weekly rankings, and placed No. 1 among young women. (And probably cat lovers, too.)
