You might be waiting with bated breath for the fifth season of Mad Men to premiere on March 25th, but in the meantime, you’ll be pleased to know that the auburn-haired beauty Christina Hendricks appears on the cover for our upcoming March issue. In it, Hendricks opens up about her role as the buxom and brassy Joan Holloway and how her character has inspired her to be more assertive and sexy in real life — and to fill her closet with a personal collection of ’60s fashions. Our cover girl also details her blossoming film career, which kick-started with last summer’s surprise hit, Drive. 

Speaking of Mad Men, Jon Hamm’s main squeeze (and producing partner) Jennifer Westfeldt chats with her Friends With Kids co-star Adam Scott about directing her first feature, which also stars Bridesmaids alumni Hamm, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, and Chris O’Dowd. Funny guys Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim give us a guided tour of the Sundance Film Festival, where their new comedy Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie shocked and appalled Park City audiences. Starlet Lynn Collins talks about playing a Martian princess in the upcoming sci-fi epic John Carter, and indie rock gods Sleigh Bells offer an annotated look at their stellar new album, Reign of Terror.
