Season 5 of ‘Mad Men’ is finally getting ready to premiere, in 2012, much later than previous seasons.

Matthew Weiner, creator and writer of the hit show, says he already knows how the show will end at the end of season 7! Weiner sat down with Grantland.com to talk about his struggles with AMC – and his visions of how the show will end.

It’s not over yet – we have three more seasons of ‘Mad Men’ coming up – and the series will come to a close at the end of season 7. The last episode, Weiner says, will be more than just a look back at the show’s history.

“I do know how the whole show ends,” he told the site. “It came to me in the middle of last season. I always felt like it would be the experience of human life. And human life has a destination. It doesn’t mean Don’s gonna die. What I’m looking for, and how I hope to end the show, is like … It’s 2011. Don Draper would be 84 right now. I want to leave the show in a place where you have an idea of what it meant and how it’s related to you.”

To see Don Draper, still working and trying to sell digital ad space, based on laser-targeted focus group and audience segmentation, would truly be a sight to behold. Of course, one gets the feeling that Weiner is more interested in looking at how the Jon Hamm-portrayed character would have handled the coming decades and changes in his life, not technological changes in his industry.

But it’s not just Don’s arc that concerns Weiner; both the seventh season expiration date, as well as the setting he intends for it, are also opportunities for him to reflect on the job he did with the show, as well as go out on his own terms. Just like one certain little band out of Liverpool did over forty years ago.

“It’s a very tall order, but I always talk about ‘Abbey Road,’” he said, referring of course to the final album The Beatles recorded together (though “Let It Be” would be released after “Abbey Road”). What’s the song at the end of Abbey Road? It’s called ‘The End.’ There is a culmination of an experience of people working at their highest level.”

Given that the series won its fourth straight Best Drama Emmy, Weiner certainly is on pace to end on top.

You gotta feel for the editors of Marie Claire. They chose Kim Kardashian as their December cover-girl, and the pictures and interview were done BEFORE she filed for divorce. The interview is full of “oh my God we’re soooooooooooo happy” and other BS. Luckily, the editors were able to include this in their article: “In late October, it was announced that Kim would file for divorce, just 72 days after she and Kris tied the knot.”

Whoops.

Here are some interesting tidbits from the interview:

When asked about how much money she earned on her wedding:

“I don’t talk about money.”

Why she turned her wedding into a 3-ring circus:

“I felt like if I didn’t show the wedding, it would be upsetting for people who have taken this journey with me,” Kim says earnestly.

On why she decided to marry so quickly:

“We felt like, ‘Why wait?’” she explains. “It’s fun to have a partner who understands your life and lets you be you.”

About all the rumors that her relationship won’t last, and that her family doesn’t like Kris:

“I feel like where we’re at right now is the best time in my life,” she says. And yet, in the ensuing days, the doomsayers churn out ever more dire headlines, from “Headed for a Split!” to “Kim & Kris: The End.”

About the possibility that Kris had ulterior motives for marrying her:

“I’m not worried about him at all,” she says. “We have a lot of trust, and I don’t think either of us would do anything to break that. It makes life so easy. He’s such a good guy; he is so down-to-earth, and it’s such a reality check. He is a normal guy, and I just want to chill out and be normal and not get glammed up all the time. He gets it. Sometimes my life can be really intimidating for people, but he allows me to work and do what I’ve gotta do.”

About her first marriage when she was 19:

“I was 19, and I didn’t know myself,” she says. “As unhappy as I was, and as happy as I am now not to be in that relationship, I learned so much from it: who I wanted to be, who I never wanted to be — you take all those issues and move on.” She smiles brightly. “I learned how to cook and do a lot of marital things. It definitely taught me what being a wife is all about. I think it means taking care of each other’s needs and being there for someone unconditionally.”

I have to take pause here….. It taught her what being a wife is all about!? I’m sorry, but I cannot contain myself! Obviously if there’s one thing she knows nothing about – it’s being a wife!!!

On all the Kardashian shows – and having a public life:

We made a pact as a family and said we would be truly authentic because people don’t buy bullshit,” Kim says. “We’ll just be who we are, and — love it or hate it — we have each other. Everything that goes on is stuff we do. I think that’s what makes it so relatable, because we are not afraid to show crazy things.”

This interview was priceless.

Model turned TV personality Heidi Klum arrived at a private residence in Los Angeles yesterday for an AOL event. Heidi was all smiles as she posed for the cameramen before entering the house.

The wedding took place in the Arctic Room of the George Aquarium in Atlanta — and featured Nick Cannon as the DJ!

Who is it?

CLICK!

Jackson Rathbone, who plays one of the Cullen vampires in the film, showed up at the premiere of ‘Breaking Dawn’ last night looking all sorts of weird. He’s always been the strange one on the cast (if you ask me) and by the looks of his crushed velvet suit, I’m right.

He looks like he’s trying to pull off the vampire look in real-life.

Here are pictures from last night’s premiere of ‘Breaking Dawn’ in Los Angeles!

We have Ashley Greene, above, Taylor Lautner, below – and more from the cast! (PS: Will you look at those girls behind Taylor Lautner!? Hilarious!) Is Taylor trying to grow a goatee?

Peter Facinelli is so hot. Did I ever tell you he kissed me on my birthday last year? (I’ll be telling that story till I die.)

Photographed here: Ashley Greene, Taylor Lautner, Nikki Reed, Elizabeth Reaser, Peter Facinelli and Kellan Lutz!

Twilight: Breaking Dawn’ premiered last night in Los Angeles, and the night brought out a ton of stars. I’ll start with the main two, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

Kristen is wearing a dress by J. Mendel, and I’m not sure what I think about it! I don’t hate it, I’m just not in love with it either. Could be that mile high slit. I don’t know. Her legs look amazing, I’ll give her that!

Robert Pattinson looks great in his suit – but as usual, he has that “DUH!?” look on his face.
