Today’s shot offers plenty of cleavage, gams and Don Draper’s five o’clock shadow with Jon Hamm and the women of Mad Men on the cover of Rolling Stone. Just two weeks ago Rolling Stone had Sookie, Bill and Eric sporting only their birthday suits, blood and well-placed body parts. But a nude Mad Men cover featuring Jon Hamm, Christina Hendricks, January Jones and Elisabeth Moss covering their naughty bits with martini glasses, ad copy and Lucky Strikes would deter from the whole period piece thing Mad Men has going on  -- or would it?

Between filming on Fox’s 24, an off-Broadway play and forming her own production company with husband Jon Hamm (Mad Men), Kissing Jessica Stein’s Jennifer Westfeldt is keeping busy.

Last week it was announced that Keira Knightley will star in a West End production of Lillian Hellman's The Children's Hour, and if Ms. Knightley is not enough to entice fans to take a trip to London, now Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss is slated to star alongside Keira.Hellman’s 1934 lesbian-themed play was banned in Boston but opened in Paris to sensational reviews before debuting on Broadway in 1936. It instantly turned Hellman into one of the most famous writers of her day. Keira will step into the role of Karen Wright while Elisabeth will play the tortured Martha. And after watching Elisabeth go toe to toe with Jon Hamm's Don Draper on Mad Men this season here's predicting a nomination for an Olivier Award.

TV fans can’t stop talking about Jessica Paré, the actress who plays Don Draper’s new wife Megan on AMC’s critical darling Mad Men. While Paré is making a splash as Megan Draper, lesbian fans know her as Tori, who engaged in a torrid, hidden love affair at a prestigious boarding school with Piper Perabo’s Pauley in 2001’s Lost and Delirious. A chunk of Sunday’s Mad Men premiere focused on Megan throwing a surprise party for Don, and her extra special present was performing “Zou Bisou, Bisou,” a song that Sophia Loren famously recorded back in the day.

There is a moment in just about every workday when we come across something sexy, gratuitous and completely pointless that we wish we could post but don't under the auspices of there being nothing lesbian about it and often there being no redeeming value. Today's shot of the day is Christina Hendricks in animal print with a little fetish twist that smacks of Bettie Page! Granted, there are enough shots of the woman who plays Mad Men’s secretary extraordinaire Joan to make Christina the shot of every day, but for our relatively short-lived – and not everyday – segment, this marks Christina’s third appearance.

Here’s today’s smattering of pop culture tidbits from around the Web. Some of the ladies making headlines today: Christina Hendricks, Keira Knightley and Helen Mirren, Rooney Mara, Ke$ha, Angelina Jolie, Jordin Sparks and Megan Fox to name a few of our lesbian favorites.

Because it's time to stop blaming the victims

The 64th Annual Emmy Awards were held in Los Angeles Sunday, and apart from a funny bit between winner for best actress in a comedy Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Amy Poehler, the most that can be said for the snooze fest was that some very pretty women turned up on the red carpet. From out actress Sarah Paulson to faves including The Good Wife’s Julianna Margulies and Archie Panjabi, winner Game Change Julianne Moore, a pants-less Ellen DeGeneres and cuties Ginnifer Goodwin and Emily VanCamp presenting together, here’s a round-up of the Emmy women.

Ready for just about the greatest end to a week ever? Jane Lynch and her beautiful bride, Dr. Lara Embry, are photographed glowingly in love in the latest issue of Vogue.

Television's arguably most critically acclaimed show is back for its final run.

We’re now less than a month away from nominations for the 64th annual Emmy Awards — announced at 5:35 a.m. PT on July 19 — and we at SheWired can’t stop thinking about a certain redhead. That would be Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks, who delivered a bravura performance as sexy, ambitious, morally ambiguous Joan Holloway during the show’s recently-wrapped fifth season.

Susan Sarandon, Blake Lively, Mad Men's Christina Hendricks, Catherine Hardwicke and Little Red Riding Hood, a Heathers remake and more top this installment of the Hollywood Trade Roundup, a collection of hotties for their lesbian fans in the headlines from The Hollywood Reporter and Daily Variety. Plus, Evan Rachel Wood and the True Blood clan, America Ferrera and Reba McEntire.

It's officially autumn. Time to get serious about our movies -- if only there were more lesbian characters on tap.
