January Jones on SNL
Loved this! It’s sort of crazy because it’s not that far off ogf what the 1960s were really like. Damn, now I got me a hankering for some gelatin and cocktail weenies!
I love me some Betty Draper! Speaking of, I totally need to do a post about the season finale of Mad Men! That just reminded me, what a crazy season finale!
Looking forward to seeing January host SNL this weekend and psyched to see the black Eyed Peas perform as well. Should be a great show!
January Jones in GQ
GQ journalist Mark Kirby was lucky enough to land the interview with January, and hop a flight back to Los Angeles alongside her. He learned very quickly that she was no lightweight when it came to tossing a few back – and she was nothing like the Betty Draper on television.
The juiciest part of the interview is when January tells Mark about her first boyfriend in Los Angeles. Supposedly he is someone very famous. She claims he wasn’t very supportive of her career.
“The guy I was dating when I first got to L.A. was not supportive of my acting. He was like, I don’t think you’re going to be good at this. So, f**k you! He only has nice things to say now. If anything, I should thank him. Because the minute you tell me I can’t do something, that’s when I’m most motivated.”
That famous boyfriend just so happens to be pretty-boy, Ashton Kutcher. Who isn’t exactly the Marlon Brando of our time.. How wrong you were, Ashton.
Even legendary actor Jack Nicholson adores January. He worked with her in 2003 on the film, Anger Management. A few years later, after having seen nearly the entire first season of Mad Men, Nicholson finally realized it was January who was playing Betty Draper. He called her immediately to commend her acting skills.
January’s photo shoot for GQ is hot and risque, and I’m sure will garner no complaints from the men. Leather & lingerie for this hot 60’s housewife.
Read the rest of the GQ interview here.
Christina Hendricks (Joan) and January Jones (Betty) looking absolutely smashing at the Emmys. Christina is my favorite female on the series. Her Marilyn-esque body, her quick wit and her catty comebacks make her the dish of the show.

I am SO PSYCHED for this! I missed Season 1, but watched all of Season 2 during the past couple of weeks – thanks to my DVR and AMC replaying them last week. I am completely hooked on the show now and am totally looking forward to the Season 3 opener!
Of course Don Draper is completely dreamy, handsome and debonair, but I hate him for cheating on his gorgeous wife, Betty! (My girl crush.) But then again, the show might be a bit bland if he didn’t, eh? Draper reminds me of James Bond, in a way. Swanky, smart, the sort of man every woman wants, and every man wants to be.
I love how everyone, including doctors, chain smoke, and everyone has liquor in their office, their bedrooms and their living rooms.
The fashions are to die for. The clip-on earrings, the fancy handbags, the gloves, the hats, the broaches, the amazing cocktail dresses, of course the shoes,…I could go on. Even if this show was only mediocre I could simply watch it for the fashions.
Homosexuality was taboo, women were merely objects of men’s desires, and children got spanked. But no matter how much times have changed, the problems that we are all faced with in today’s world have not.
Sunday Mad Men is back. Season Two ended with Don and Betty Draper’s marriage on the fritz. Don had another affair while on a business trip in California, then Betty discovered she was pregnant and soon after had an affair of her own. Sterling Cooper was set to merge with Putnam, Powell, and Lowe, a British company, Joan was raped by her fiance in Draper’s office, Pete professed his love to Peggy who told him she had his baby then gave it away, and Roger Sterling left his wife and proposed marriage to Don’s secretary, Jane.
What will Season Three have in store? Find out on AMC August 16th at 10 PM!
