Diet Advice from a Beardly Pete Campbell

As the Business Insider reported: Vincent Kartheiser -- the actor behind Mad Men account executive Pete Campbell, resident creeper and lowlife (talking about Pete, I don't know Vincent) -- grew a beard (again). Which may make our image of him as (slightly) less creepy, maybe... you be the judge.

You may have missed this little factoid while reading the Business Insider story, since it was buried in a creepy story about his creepy diet tip that came out of the Andy Mannix story in City Pages about Kartheiser... quote:

"...He pulls his jeans a few inches away from his waist to prove how much weight he's already lost, exposing a pair of black briefs. Eight pounds, he says, the product of strict discipline: exercising every morning, fasting during the day, "and then I fuck at night — for a few hours, if I can." A devious grin stretches across his unshaven face, and he suddenly looks a lot like Pete Campbell..."

Finally, a reason to watch the Golden Globes!

Jon Hamm has grown a beard!

All bearded Mad Men fans rejoice, finally the star of a show where they seem to only allow one beard per season (hippie friend of Don's brunette lover in season one and Paul Kinsey starting in season two on), discounting the Bertram Cooper Van Dyck of course... Maybe Don Draper will follow Kinsey's lead on the show... that would be awesome.

That being said, The Huffington Post is stirring the pot by posting the photo below, in lieu of Paul's forthcoming Golden Globes appearance on Sunday (where he is nominated), accompanied by a "love it or leave it" poll.. we of course voted to love it. You should go help out, last we checked the sentiment was negative (27.09% love it vs. 48.88%, with 24.02% hoping he will shave by Sunday)... beardos unite!

Personally I don't think I've ever watched the Golden Globes (I do tend to exaggerate though), but now I think I'll have to... Will he? Won't he? We are on the edge of our seat... you?

Think we struck a nerve, both last night and with our "Year of the Beard" perspective... People Magazine is now asking... "From Goatees to Full Facial Hair: Are Beards the New Leading Man Must-Have?"

The answer, is simply... yes.

CONFIRMED: Jon Hamm at the Globes with the beard intact! Give yourself beardos a big round of applause... we did it. Huffington Post can go suck it... yeah we said it, we were less surprised than Jon himself.
