Late News: E!'s Kardashian Wedding Trumps Mad Men Breakups
• Keeping Up With the Kardashians: E!'s wedding special for Lamar Odom and Khloé Kardashian beat AMC's Mad Men season finale by about 1 million viewers. Pssst...Mad Men fans: Do we think January Jones is done with the show now that Betty and Don (Jon Hamm) are getting divorced? And who else nearly fell off their couch in happiness when Joan (Christina Hendricks) came back?
• We Heart Holly: Our favorite Girl Next Door, Holly Madison, is going to star in another reality show for E! Woo-hoo!
• No Magic: ABC sources confirm that the network has declined to order additional installments of the Rebecca Romijn witch dramedy Eastwick. Unaired episodes are booked through Nov. 25.
• Ward Off the Chill: Miscellaneous winter TV launch dates we nailed down today include CW's lovely Life UneXpected (or LUX for short), which is scheduled to premiere Monday, Jan. 18, in the Gossip Girl slot. (Don't worry, Upper East Siders, it's just temporary; LUX will eventually settle into another time slot on another night, and Gossip Girl will be back soon enough.) Also, 24 and Human Target are premiering on Fox Sunday, Jan. 17.
• Visit the Pacific: Even though it wouldn't usually be in our wheelhouse, we're recommending this production featurette for HBO's upcoming The Pacific miniseries in honor of Wednesday's Veteran's Day holiday here in the States. (Plus, the kid from Jurassic Park and The Cure is back to acting. Woo!)
Note: Just FYI, the Spoiler Chat will post tonight at 10 p.m. PST.

AMC Renews Mad Men for Season Four
Whoo-hoo! There will be more Mad Men, which means we might get to see Don Draper's life all the way to...1965?
AMC has renewed Mad Men for a fourth season. No deets were released about how much more we'll get or when it will air, but 13 episodes in the late summer of 2010 is probably a good guess.
The Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning series is set in a Madison Avenue advertising firm and tracks the rise (and fall?) of the American empire in the 20th century through the personal and professional life of "mad man" Don Draper.
But what about this season, set in 1963 and running up (seemingly) to the November assassination of President John F. Kennedy?

Mad Men's January Jones Says Betty Draper's Not Gonna Take It Anymore

Well, that was fast.

Moss told usaweekend.com, "It happened just a few days ago...It’s private, so I don’t want to share the details of how it happened, but I will say it was perfect.”
Moss and Armisen were spotted recently together at the Vanity Fair party for Mad Men, and also at her Broadway production, Speed-the-Plow. (Yes, that Speed-the-Plow. The one with Jeremy Piven William H. Macy.)
