Celebrity Beef of the Day: TV’s Don Draper is the latest celebrity to come out swinging against the growing trend of rewarding vapid, valueless individuals with unwarranted attention.

“Whether it’s Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated,” Jon Hamm told Elle UK. “Being a f*cking idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you’re rewarded significantly.”

Last year, actor Daniel Craig made a similar splash when he took issue with the Kardashians making millions off “behav[ing] like a f*cking idiot on television.” 

In the same interview, Hamm also bemoaned the modern model of “beauty,” which he believes should be closer to the curves of co-star Christina Hendricks. “Those of us who live in real life realize, especially as we get older, that beauty isn’t just 22 years old, blonde, skinny with big t*ts.”

Of course, distraction can have disastrous effects when you are behind the wheel of a car, but even multi-tasking at work can take a toll, robbing you of creativity and reflection, and depleting the willpower that might be needed later in the day to force yourself to the gym or avoid overeating.

Welp, at least I know why I continue to eat and never make it to the gym.

Golden Globes: In his acceptance speech, actor Peter Dinklage, who won Best Supporting Actor for Game of Thrones, referenced a man named Martin Henderson, asking the audience and viewers at home to Google him.

Henderson made headlines this week for being the victim of an assault that has left him partially paralyzed.

The 37-year-old dwarf actor, who is best remember for his role as a Goblin in two of the Harry Potter films, was standing outside the White Horse pub in Wincanton, Somerset, when he was suddenly picked up by an unknown assailant and thrown across the pavement.

Henderson believes the man who attacked him may have been inspired by English rugby player Mike Tindall, who is said to have been a spectator at a “dwarf tossing contest” in a New Zealand bar last year.

“It all happened so quickly – I think he was with a group of mates and they thought it would be a laugh,” Henderson said. “I guess I was an easy target and the only reason I was picked on was because I am small.”

He suffered multiple injuries, and has been told by doctors he may be permanently bound to a wheelchair.

The attacker, meanwhile, remains on the loose. He is described by police as 5’8” with a slim build and dark. He was last seen wearing a hooded top and baseball cap.

In addition to justice, Henderson hopes to receive an apology from Tindall and the rest of Team England. “The whole [England] team should be made to apologise for what they have done,” he said. “I think until someone steps out and says ‘this is not acceptable’, all dwarfs are under threat.”

On the Daddyblog of a father whose child also has Down syndrome, Ryan’s mother writes:

The whole process of modeling is an extreme confidance booster for him. He received so much warmth and caring from the Nordstrom crew that he thought they were there just for him! We are honored that Ryan is making the Down syndrome community proud. He is a beautiful boy inside and out. He makes us better parents, and a better family.
