January Jones on dating in Hollywood: “Someone has to make the sacrifices”

januaryjonesallure1

January Jones covers the June issue of Allure, and man, they really drew the short end of the stick as far as timing goes. You see, this particular interview was conducted in the interest of promoting X-Men: First Class, but it was also done before Jones announced her pregnancy a few week ago. As a result, the choice quotes don’t even approach those previous instances when January mused about imagining life as a diamond and declared that campaigning for an Oscar would be so very tedious as to not even be worth the trouble. Still, January manages to both be absolutely gorgeous in the photoshoot and also to give us a few reminders (mostly, she talks about her figure and Jason Sudeikis) of her own vapidity:

On Never (Ever) Dieting: “I just listen to whatever my body craves. I don’t deny myself anything. I don’t crave sweets or unhealthy things very often. But when I do, like if I’m in a bad mood and I’m in traffic, I’ll stop at McDonald’s and get a strawberry shake and fries and not feel guilty at all, because I deserve it.”

On Her “Mad Men” Wardrobe: “The most challenging part of the wardrobe is actually the period shoes,” she says. But overall, Jones appreciates the restrictive fashions of the era. “The long-line bra with the pointy tips and the girdle, and then the stockings on the garter belt–I really like the shape it gives me. It’s kind of sad when you take the girdle off at the end of the day.”

On Breaking Up With Jason Sudeikis: “The long distance kind of petered us out. When you date someone else who’s in the industry, someone has to make the sacrifices. And if no one’s willing to, then you just have to be friends.” Then again, it’s hard to imagine anyone who is not in the industry being understanding of her job’s demands: “‘I’m sorry, I need to go away for three months and kiss other men while you stay here.'”

On Grace Kelly Comparisons: “It’s hard to think I have to live up to that, because I’m not her, unless Grace Kelly drank beer.”

On Therapy: “I was traveling so much, and I just needed to make sure I was grounded and had someone to talk to. She talked more than I did, which was hilarious and great and fun. I really like her. It was like having a girlfriend. But I’m not going to give her $300 an hour to have the same conversation I could have with my girlfriend.”

Why She Did X-Men: First Class: “I was coming off two dramatic movies and then another season of “Mad Men,” and I was ready to do something a little bit more fun.”

Obviously, the “fun” to which January refers apparently included getting pregnant while on the set of First Class. In all seriousness, however, I’m curious as to how someone claims to have never worried about their diet but is also a former model and now also appears to have a few body issues associated with taking off a girdle. Not that we should trouble ourselves over January’s apparent inconsistencies; instead, we’ll just go back to wondering about the true identity of her baby daddy.

    Man is she annoying (and vapid).

  2. Hautie says:

    I like her.

    And I enjoy that she doesn’t seem to sensor her self. Even if she makes some dumb comments. Better than a email interview with some random publicist answering the questions.

    And this is how you wear red lipstick. Matte with just a hint of shine on the bottom lip. (the make up person did a wonderful job)

  3. Ruby says:

    She is very pretty. But something about her makes me think shes nuts. Like the bunny boiler from Fatal Attraction. Ok maybe not that pyscho. But definitely little crazy

  4. Victoire says:

    For me, she looks a little bit like a man. I know, it’s weird but… hahahah =)

  5. Jessica says:

    I don’t find her pretty, she always looks like she’s pouting.

    I agree with Ruby that she might be nuts. I wish she would go away. She can’t act (unless she’s playing herself, like in Mad Men). Her interviews are all about her thoughts on herself. And she lies blatantly when confronted with things she’s said in the past.

  6. EdithP says:

    I think this is the best I’ve ever seen her look. Love her hair here.

  7. aenflex says:

    This girl is not pretty, not in the least. There is nothing that stops my eyes when they are roaming her face; it’s a vast plane of boringness. Why the fuck anyone cares about this girl is beyond me. I sure as hell hope she told the father before the told the world.

  8. Maritza says:

    She is beautiful and think her role as Betty Draper really suits her, I too think she has a bit of crazy in her and the ones who cast her saw that as well.

  9. Diane says:

    Beautiful eyes.

  10. LL says:

    People compare her to Grace Kelly? Seriously?!

  11. bluhare says:

    She does look lovely, she really does. But they knew she was pregnant; look at the shots, they’re hiding her belly.

    She’s a bit too arrogant for my taste, though.

  12. Bee says:

    @LL, I think the Grace Kelly comparisons started because it used to be when you wanted to reference a certain 1950’s look people would use Grace Kelly’s name. Now people refer to a “Betty Draper look.” Betty Draper has replaced Grace Kelly as a reference point for many. So, January’s became associated with that image. Betty Draper/January Jones also reminds some of Alfred Hitchcock’s “cool blondes” which Grace Kelly also was.

  13. RHONYC says:

    long-line bras are the sh*t!!!

    i love the shape that they give me in tops.

    i’m currently hunting down all that i can purchase. they’re the only brassieres that can wrangle my D cups. lol 😆

    THe more I look at her the more I agree with aenflex she really isn’t all that much – and coupled with her brainless vapidity, lack of personality,etc. why does anyone care about her. THe supermodels of the 80s/90s exuded more beauty and personality than these plain celebutards the mags insist on putting on their coves these days. I’ll take a cover with Paulina Porizkova over this chick any day.

  15. Stephy2585 says:

    Wow.
    Dude looks like a lady?

    Wait. That’s January Jones?!?!?

  16. Mika says:

    Don’t believe her for a second about the “I don’t diet” thing. I believe she’s been dieting for so long she’s warped herself into really believing that she likes celery more then nachos, and just just hates the taste of carbs and fat, but that’s as far as I’m going.

  17. KateNonymous says:

    And Betty was compared to Grace Kelly on more than one occasion in the show. I don’t really see it–Grace Kelly was the cool blonde who was hiding a fire, and January Jones doesn’t have that. But it sounds like she thinks the big difference between them is that she drinks beer. Okay.

  18. Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

    Why wouldn’t she talk about herself in her interviews?

  19. janna says:

    her hair on the cover looks great- very glamorous.

  20. really says:

    yes her lovely hair is FAB! Jann is twirking her baby daddy thang!
