2.3 million viewers tune in for finale

The drama that enveloped Sterling Cooper was good for business -- AMC's business. "Mad Men" wrapped its third season on a strong note, drawing 2.3 million viewers for Sunday's finale.

Viewership for the Lionsgate TV skein was up 33% from last season's finale aud of 1.7 million, according to prelim Nielsens. It also marked the show's second-highest rating of the season behind the series-record 2.8 million who turned out for the third season opener in August.

For its third season overall, "Mad Men" averaged 1.8 million viewers, up 20% from last year's 1.5 million. The period drama starring Jon Hamm, January Jones and Elisabeth Moss saw surges of 20% in adults 18-49 (845,000 vs. 705,000) and 26% in adults 25-54 (982,000 vs. 780,000) compared to its second-season averages.

Show, which captured its second consecutive Emmy for best drama in September, continues to command an upscale aud, with roughly half of its adults 25-54 audience this season having a household income of $100,000 or higher. And on iTunes, season three of "Mad Men" had the best-selling season pass of the year.

Top 5 Most Powerful Brit Entertainers Under 30.


#5Robert Pattinson, 23, actor
The only man in the top five, R-Patz made vampires cool, but can he go from heart-throb to Hollywood heavyweight? He needs to pull off upcoming grown-up roles opposite Hugh Jackman and Pierce Brosnan if he’s to be the next Brad or Jude. Tom Clark of Revolver Entertainment says: “We were blown away by the level of support his fans give him. Plus, he has cross-generational appeal. Mums buy his DVDs to watch with their daughters.”

Sober Sarah Harding plots Girls Aloud birthday madness

Top caner Sarah Harding put the heavy boozing to one side and left her night out with JLS hunk Marvin Hume walking in a straight line after toasting her new career as a nightclub entrepreneur.

The Girls Aloud beauty saved herself just a few sips of champagne as she went for dinner with boyfriend Tommy Crane and Hume at the Texture Restaurant in London's Marble Arch before a nightcap at Tommy's DJ haunt Mahiki.

Her toast comes after a hellish string of meetings, putting the finishing touches on her new nightclub in London's City called Kanaloa.

Last night the star, 27, was already plotting the venues' first wild shindig, planning a joint birthday celebration for herself and bandmate Kimberley Walsh at the new city slickers' party spot later this month.

The television series "Ally McBeal" was on air from 1997 until 2002, focusing on the romantic and personal lives of the eccentric lawyers at the fictional, Boston firm of "Cage, Fish & Associates." Calista Flockhart played the title character, a 28-year-old Harvard Law School grad working at her ex-boyfriend's firm. In the five years it was on the air, the Emmy-winning program introduced its audience to dancing babies, unisex bathrooms and the word "wattle." For the first time, the entire series is out on DVD, and executive producer David E. Kelley and eight former cast members joined "Good Morning America" for a reunion.

Chinami Tokunaga, 17, and Yurina Kumai, 16, of all-girl J-pop group Berryz Koubou, were missing at the group’s shows in Nagoya on Saturday and in Osaka on Sunday. The remaining five members put on a dazzling performance but some fans demanded to know where Tokunaga and Kumai were. Inquiries later revealed that the pair were at home and have caught the influenza A virus.

The latest two cases mean that the whole group have had the flu recently, after captain Saki Shimizu, 17, Momoko Tsugunaga, 17, Miyabi Natsuyaki, 17, Maasa Sudo, 17, and Risako Sugaya, 15, all came down with influenza last month.

According to their agency Hello! Project, Tokunaga complained of not feeling well last Wednesday, and was told the next day at a hospital in Kanagawa that she’d need five days rest. Kumai fell ill last Friday while she was in Nagoya for the weekend’s show, and was diagnosed with influenza the following day.

Tokunaga and Kumai are scheduled to return to the line-up for their show at the Shibuya CC Lemon Hall in Tokyo this Sunday. A staff member at Hello! Project denied that the girls got sick from in-group transmission, and said they were infected separately due to their many appearances in public.

Here's an excerpt from a column that actress Romola Garai ("Atonement") wrote for The Observer in which she mentions she's auditioning for "Spider-Man 4."

"Love is at the root of everything good that has ever happened and will happen." This phrase swam into focus as I moved up the escalator at Oxford Circus tube on Tuesday morning on my way to put myself "on tape" for a part in Spider-Man 4. This is the acting equivalent of the London Marathon in that it's important to try your best as long as you understand that you aren't going to win.

It was posted earlier that Rachel McAdams was a frontrunner for a role in the movie, which could possibly be Felicia Hardy/The Black Cat. The only thing I've ever seen Garai in was "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights," but I think she could be a better fit. I'm not sure if McAdams could play the same age as Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, who both look eternally 12. So ONTD, have any other casting possibilities for The Black Cat? Oh yeah, and I don't think it was ever posted here, but Dylan Baker confirmed he would be back as Dr. Curt Conners in the fourth movie. That doesn't necessarily mean The Lizard is the main villain, but it's still a possibility.

During her interview with Diane Sawyer, Rihanna revealed that she finally walked away from her relationship with Chris Brown after briefly reuniting because she wanted to set a positive example for her fans. The singer said she didn't want young girls to think it was OK to return to an abusive situation.

But Rihanna also said she doesn't want to be the "domestic-violence spokesperson," because Brown's assault is only one aspect of her story.

"One of the big things for me, I always want to help young women and give them insight into life experiences," she told MTV News on Monday. "One of those things is going through an abusive relationship like I did. But that's one thing for me. So I don't want to be the big domestic-violence spokesperson, because that doesn't define who I am. But if I can help young women in any way, and that being one of the things they need help with, then I'll do that."

Rihanna is attempting to move forward following the February assault, when Brown left her battered and bruised in his rented Lamborghini after a pre-Grammy party. He eventually struck a plea deal and was sentenced to 180 days of community labor, weekly therapy sessions and five years' probation.

Brown has already conducted a handful of interviews, including MTV News' "Chris Brown: The Interview" on Friday. But Rihanna didn't break her silence until last week's sit-down with Sawyer.

"It was the biggest weight lifted off my chest," she told MTV News. "If you watch the interview, you see it was a subject that I didn't talk about for the eight months that I didn't talk about it, so that was my first real time opening up. I had a lot of tension bottled up. So when I finally spoke about it, it felt really good. More importantly, it felt good that people got something positive out of it, because it's devastating. It's not fun to talk about or listen to, but there are a lot of women who are going through it, a lot of teenagers who are scared to talk about it. So I thought it was a good thing that I can be that voice for them and help them get out of that situation."

Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson was suspended last month after criticizing team officials and posting two homosexual slurs online.


KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Larry Johnson's record-breaking career as a Kansas City running back is over.

The Chiefs confirmed Monday that they had run out of patience with his off-the-field problems and released Johnson the day he was due to come back from his second suspension in a year.

Johnson, who turns 30 on Nov. 19, was just 75 yards away from breaking Priest Holmes' team rushing record.

The decision by the Chiefs (1-7) was not a surprise.

"A part of him is excited and a part of him is very regretful," Johnson's agent, Peter Schaffer, told The Associated Press. "There's a lot of feelings going on right now. It's analogous to breaking up with a girlfriend. Maybe you saw it coming, but it still hurts when it happens."

A No. 1 draft choice out of Penn State in 2003, Johnson was one of the best running backs in the NFL in 2005 and 2006, rushing for more than 1,700 yards in each of those Pro Bowl seasons.

But often angry and sullen, he was dogged by controversy and frequently at odds with coaches and fans. On Oct. 25, in what turned out to be his final episode with the Chiefs, he posted on his Twitter account several insults to fans, questioned coach Todd Haley's credentials and used a gay slur.

He repeated the slur the next day to reporters and was suspended for two weeks. At Schaffer's urging, the Chiefs cut the financial penalty in half, saving him about $315,000.
