"Mad Men" Scores on Emmy Shortlists

It wasn't the most-watched show, but AMC's "Mad Men" looks to be the most honored. After a surprise Golden Globe win for best drama series and best actor, the notoriously stodgy Emmy voters have apparently taken notice of the freshman show. Not only was it shortlisted for their best drama award, it's represented in each acting category, according to the Los Angeles Times. John Hamm, Elisabeth Moss, John Slattery, and Christina Hendricks are all potential Emmy nominees.

"Grey's Anatomy" is close to matching "Mad Men" for semifinalist honors. With Patrick Dempsey, T.R. Knight, Sandra Oh, and Chandra Wilson all getting the nod, the only category they didn't make is Best Actress. Other SOAPnet favorites who made the cut? Kyle Chandler ("Friday Night Lights"), Sally Field and Rachel Griffiths ("Brothers & Sisters"), Jeanne Tripplehorn ("Big Love"), Naveen Andrews and Michael ...Full Article

Copycat Corner: Claws Come Out

Marimekko and Dolce & Gabbana are fighting over a flower. A poppy, to be precise -- or the bright, bold representation of one that the Finnish textile design company claims it trademarked. When a red flower that looked suspiciously similar showed up on D&G dresses, Marimekko made a fuss. But the Italian fashion house has just thrown a sharp counter-punch by saying that the trademark Marimekko obtained for its Unikko flower pattern is invalid.

The Finnish company filed a lawsuit against D&G in Hamburg earlier this year to try to stop the label from using the design. Created by Maija Isola for Marimekko in 1964, the child-like poppy print has come back into fashion in recent years. But now D&G has appealed to the European Union to have Marimekko's trademark voided. Who's got the true flower power? Now it's up to the courts to decide.
