Sally Draper, Child Psychiatrist; A Matt Perry Sit-Com Predicted Qaddafi's Death
We realize there's only so much time one can spend in a day watching new trailers, viral video clips, and shaky cell phone footage of people arguing on live television. This is why The Atlantic Wire highlights the day's video clips that truly earn your five minutes (or less) of attention.
Kiernan Shipka's portrayal of Sally Draper on Mad Men has always been on those parts of the show that we've merely tolerated, like Peggy's relationship with her aunt and mother. That being said, Shipka nails it as a psychiatrist to former child actors. The one disappointment is that she wasn't asked to diagnose creepy Glenn. [Funny or Die]

We told you earlier about how Hillary Clinton and Hami Karzai shared a laugh over Herman Cain comment about how the press is always trying to see if he knows the name of the president of "Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan." As the New York Post promised, there's Clinton "hand gesticulation" alright, but also the unexpected reveal that she knows the name of Cain's pizza chain. And now, so does Hamid Karzai. You can't buy publicity like this. [CNN]

Britney Spears has a new video out this week. So does Justin Timberlake. On the whole, Spears's "Criminal" is better. She's singing for herself, albeit in her twangy robot voice. Timberlake's adding some star power to a video for FreeSol, a band he produces. But why take a star and have him putter around rapping in what looks to be a condemned building. That's not what stars do. [Hit Fix]

Most stories about future events accurately predicted in the plots of movies and TV shows are apocryphal, like the urban legend that Back to the Future: Part II correctly predicted the outcome of the 1997 World Series. The pilot episode of the quickly-cancelled 1987 Matthew Perry sitcom Second Chance did anticipate Muaamar Qaddafi's would die in theyear 2011, we wonder if the absence of a specific date (any specific date, since they're also twisted around in such legends) will stop it from being one of those things gullible believed the Internet.
