On Sunday night's episode of "Mad Men," Don Draper (Jon Hamm) and Harry Crane (Rich Sommer) attempt to recruit the Rolling Stones for a commercial for Heinz beans.

While backstage at a concert, Don and Harry run into a couple of female fans who scoff at the idea that the Stones would sell out and do a commercial. Cool guy Don replies that they already did an ad in England. Take that, co-ed!

Knowing that show creator Matt Weiner is a stickler for authenticity, fans may be wondering what commercial the Stones actually did. Wonder no more. You can watch it below:

Back in 1964, the mega-band did a commercial and tune for Rice Krispies, of all things. You don’t actually see the band (instead, the black-and-white ad features contestants on a pseudo game show), but you do hear the Stones. "Wake up in the morning, there's a snap around the place, wake up in the morning, there's a crackle in your face. Wake up in the morning, there's a pop

Who doth dare to diss the Donald? Aubrey O'Day does! The singer and reality star walked out on "Celebrity Apprentice" last night after sitting through a particularly brutal boardroom session with fellow contestant Arsenio Hall.

Following a brutal back-and-forth, O'Day had had enough. "I don't want to be around all the negativity anymore," she said. "The environment is so ugly. I just don't know if this is the right place for me."

O'Day then left the room, leading many to wonder if the Danity Kane singer had quit the show. Apparently she just needed some fresh air. She later tweeted: "I stay! lol. I went 2 church!"

Following the outburst, Yahoo! searches on "aubrey o'day quits" and "aubrey o'day celebrity apprentice" both skyrocketed. Clearly, fans of the show wanted answers. 

One can't fault O'Day for needing a break. During her verbal spat with Hall, most everyone in the room seemed to side with Arsenio. Aubrey

Michelle Duggar, reality TV star and mother of 19, doesn't believe in overpopulation. In a Web interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, the star of TLC's "19 Kids and Counting" remarked that the idea of overpopulation isn’t accurate.

”Well, first off, the idea of overpopulation is not accurate because really the entire population of the world, if they were stretched shoulder to shoulder, could fit within the city limits of Jacksonville,” Duggar said. The land area of Jacksonville is between 758 and 885 square miles. The world population is a little over 7 billion, which would equal about 8,500,000 people per square mile.

But overpopulation, according to experts, isn't just about the number of people on a piece of land. James Hopkins' site on the human population crisis states, "Overpopulation applies much more so to the number of people in an area exceeding the resources and the carrying capacity of the environment necessary to sustain human activities."

Katie Couric to Guest Co-Host 'Good Morning America' Next WeekKatie Couric is returning to morning television, but only for a limited time and not (repeat: NOT) on the "Today" show where she spent 15 years.

Katie Couric is returning to morning television, but only for a limited time and not (repeat, not) on the "Today" show where she spent 15 years.

Next week, Couric will sit on for a vacationing Robin Roberts on ABC's "Good Morning America." Ouch. Feel the burn, NBC. The move comes at a time when "Good Morning America" is close to overtaking the "Today" show in the ratings. With Couric sitting in, it might be enough to push "GMA" over the top. This would be a huge deal in the morning TV news world. "Today" has been the top dog for 800+ weeks.

We spoke to Jeffrey Schneider, senior vice president of communications at ABC News. He said Katie's one-week gig is "very exciting." He continued, "The show ("GMA") has had great momentum over the past several months. We're closing the gap between us and the "Today" show." Indeed, the gap is getting

Getty ImagesFans of "Two and a Half Men" may have noticed that star Ashton Kutcher looks a lot less scruffy these days. Was the haircut a kind of post-Demi catharsis?

Nope! Kutcher trimmed his locks for his "Two and a Half Men" character, Walden Schmidt. Ashton spoke about his new look at a PaleyFest panel in Los Angeles on Monday. At first, Kutcher joked that he cut his hair and shaved because "Jesus wanted (his look) back, so I gave it to him."

But seriously, folks, it was all about his character's relationship with Zoey (played by Sophie Winkleman) on the CBS sitcom. Show creator Chuck Lorre explained, "We wanted to tell a story about being in a relationship and being pressured to change... Walden pushed back and said, 'You can't change me. This is who I am.' But once she stopped trying, he got a haircut and changed."

Prop comic Gallagher, best known for obliterating watermelons with a sledgehammer, suffered a heart attack on Wednesday night. The 65-year-old was taken by ambulance to a hospital after he complained of having chest pains.

Gallagher's manager, Craig Marquado, spoke with CBS 11 of Dallas. Marquado said Gallagher is having "very serious issues with his heart." He expected his client to be in the hospital for an extended period.

According to various sources, including TMZ, Gallagher (real name: Leo Anthony Gallagher Jr.) was in a Texas bar when he suddenly collapsed. He was set to perform later that night. This isn't Gallagher's first heart attack. He suffered a minor one onstage last year while performing in Minnesota.

Though he was arguably most famous during the '80s, Gallagher remains a well-known comedian. In the '90s, Gallagher's younger brother, Ron Gallagher, began impersonating his big bro and performed a similar comedy routine at clubs. Leo Gallagher sued Ron, who is no

The latest edition of "Bizarre Celebrity Feuds" is here. This week's stars: Jon Hamm and Kim Kardashian.

The tiff began when Hamm (best known as Don Draper on AMC's "Mad Men") gave an interview with the U.K.'s Elle magazine. Hamm apparently has a problem with reality TV culture. "Whether it's Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated," Hamm said. He continued, "Being a [expletive] idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture... You're rewarded significantly."

Not surprisingly, Kardashian was none too pleased by the statement. The reality star took to Twitter to voice her own opinion. "Calling someone who runs their own businesses, is a part of a successful TV show, produces, writes, designs, and creates, 'stupid,' is in my opinion careless."

Taking the high road, Kardashian then says, "I respect Jon, and I am a firm believer that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that not everyone
