There's also good news for ladies in the audience: the women's restroom has a breathtaking 22 stalls, three times the code requirement. (The men's bathroom sports waterless urinals.) And 95% of the air is filtered, with carbon dioxide sensors to maximize fresh air supply. The bad news?

PopWatch —
... This weekend, John Stamos heads to New York to present at Sunday's Tony Awards (CBS, 8 p.m.). This fall, he returns to Broadway, starring as Albert Peterson in the long-awaited revival of Bye Bye Birdie opposite Gina Gershon, who takes the role of Albert's secretary, Rose Alvarez.

Stamos phoned PopWatch to chat about filling Dick Van Dyke's shoes, his upcoming dinner-and-a-show date night (with South Park cocreator Matt Stone), the truth behind that rumored ER ...

Mad Men Season 3, Episode 2: On Selling Soft Drinks and a Stadium

... Before we get into this disjointed and somewhat underwhelming episode, I would like to take a moment and confess how truly ecstatic I was when the ep started with the opening scene from Bye Bye Birdie. I loved this movie as a child, and I kind of can't wait for the revival starting John Stamos, aka Uncle Jesse, to hit Broadway in September. But I digress.
