"Mad Men" May Have Paid Record Price for Beatles Song

AMC and Lions Gate Entertainment have struck a deal with "Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner for two more seasons of the critically acclaimed series about an ad agency in 1960s New York.

Billionaire investor Carl Icahn on Tuesday raised his offer to buy independent film studio Lions Gate to 7.50 dollars per share in cash as he seeks to take full control over the company.The board of Lions Gate, home to successful TV series such as "Mad Men", "Nurse Jackie" and "Weeds", as well as recent action film "The Expendables", said it would review Icahn's revised offer.Icahn, already Lions Gate's largest share holder, offered to purchase all of the outstanding common shares and said the deal will not require financing.

The fifth season of "Mad Men" was delayed by a contract standoff between creator Matt Weiner, Lionsgate studio and the AMC cable network, a dispute that reportedly revolved around Weiner's belief that the other parties were trying to nickel-and-dime him. You couldn't have guessed that from Sunday night's episode, which prominently featured the song "Tomorrow Never Knows" by the Beatles.

A legendary London zebra crossing featured on the cover of The Beatles' album "Abbey Road" has been designated a heritage site, the British government said Wednesday.Heritage minister John Penrose said the decision to list the black-and-white crossing in north London was a "fantastic testimony to the international fame of the Beatles".Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr are seen walking across the road in the picture on the sleeve of their 1969 album. The crossing is outside the Abbey Road studios where it was recorded.
