JON HAMM: MAD MAN ON TWO WHEELS?

When the seventh and final season of the hit show Mad Men wrapped, AMC executives presented the main players with a special thank-you gift. According to The Hollywood Reporter, January Jones and Jon Hamm, among others, each received a brand new shiny Vespa with the Mad Men logo on it. Appropriately, the motor scooters were madly popular during the late 50’s and 1960’s- especially in Italy. We wonder if any of the stars will chance riding the compact bikes in Los Angeles traffic. Probably in a few years the scooters will turn up in Hollywood memorabilia auctions and bring a pretty penny.

Leonardo DiCaprio and a buddy took two brand new Vespas for a ride around Manhattan and ended up having lunch at the Thompson Hotel on the Lower East Side. After they ate, the two guys apparently more in the mood for a nap than joyriding – they simply left their scooters and jumped into a cab! Presumably gophers of some kind retrieved the Vespas later.
