I know I’m like a broken record at this point, but I LOVE net-a-porter.com’s online magazine The Edit. They have amazing stylists and good photographers and they’re doing some of the best celebrity editorials and interviews these days, better than most print magazines. January Jones is the newest cover girl for The Edit, and I’m including some of her best photographs ever! They managed to shoehorn her into some lovely dresses and they posed her in interesting ways. Of course, she still looks like a stone-cold icy bitch, but that’s just who she is. She owns that. You can read the full interview here and here are some highlights:

Why she’s not on Twitter: “As an actor, if people know too many things about you they won’t believe you in a certain character. You don’t want people to have a preconceived idea of who you are.”

On not revealing her son’s paternity: “It’s just not something the public needs to know. I don’t divulge my sexual preferences. There are parts of your life – no matter what your job – that should remain private. When I was starting out, other actors advised me to keep certain things close to the vest. When you become a public figure people want to know everything about you, and then [they] pick it apart – it becomes negative. When my son asks those questions, I want him to [hear it from me]. I don’t want him to be able to Google it.”

On pregnancy: It was the “most healthy and peaceful I have ever felt”, and she can’t imagine parenthood any other way. “I don’t have room for anything else, so I don’t know how I would have done it with a partner. I knew I would be raising my son alone. It was something I went in to knowingly, I was prepared mentally – and I was excited about it.”

Her modeling past: “I didn’t like modeling. The greatest thing I took from [it] was self-appreciation: I was good at dealing with disappointment. You go on 10 go-sees a day, so when I got to LA and started auditioning, I was used to rejection.”

On the end of Mad Men: “It will be very sad. We are all so close that we will keep in touch, but I don’t think we will ever have this kind of experience again – from the relationships we’ve made to the success we have had, to the cultural impact [of the show].”

Happily ever after: “I am supposed to say I’d like Betty to find happiness or end up with Don, but I think that would be unrealistic. People just don’t end up with the happily ever after, you have your good and bad days. I am not sure Betty is the type of person who, when faced with what would make her happy, would be able to recognize it.”

Much like January’s New York Times interview earlier this week, I do have to give her respect for being able to completely avoid commenting or dropping clues about her son’s paternity. I mean, except for the biggest clue of all, the name “Xander” and how the boy looks. As for “I don’t divulge my sexual preferences” – she divulges them all the time, whenever she climbs on top of a married man or an engaged man. Her “sexual preferences” are “dudes wearing wedding rings”.

January Jones has a new New York Times profile – you can read the whole thing here. It’s not very flattering towards her, but that doesn’t surprise me at all. I’ve been covering January’s interviews and shenanigans for years now, and I think that in real life, she’s a piece of work – I’m saying that with a mix of judgment, bitchiness and admiration. If I have to give January credit for anything, it’s that she really doesn’t seem to give a crap about what any of us say about her. She gives cryptic, annoying, self-satisfied interviews. She openly fools around with married men, engaged men and otherwise “taken” men. And she survives, probably because she refuses to apologize or engage the press or the gossip. It’s pretty smart… sort of. Anyway, here are some gems from the NYT piece:

She doesn’t engage with interviewers: “I’m not trying to sell myself,” Ms. Jones said matter-of-factly. “I wouldn’t know how.”

On Betty Draper-Francis: “That was the fear for me, that we’d be in the third season, and you’d hate the character. She is really searching for something, but doesn’t know herself well enough to know what might make her happy,” she said. If Betty seems unmoored, “that’s because she is a little girl, an orphan. She has a childlike emotional response to things. You have to treat that very, very tenderly.”

Betty’s crazy “rape joke”: “Betty has a sick sense of humor. People need to realize that in that scene, Betty is just basically trying to make Henry blush. “

On her son’s paternity: “That’s my son’s business. It’s not the public’s business.”

She name-drops Jack Nicholson again: “Jack Nicholson once told me: ‘You should never give your personal life away, otherwise people will pick you apart. They’ll never believe in your character.’ ”

Secrets! “Women should have lots of secrets,” she said, a rare gleam of mischief in her eye. “It’s our right to have secrets. Otherwise, what would we write in our memoirs?”

Her fashion: “Most of my choices are my ultramodern and very thought-out,” she said. On the red carpet, meanwhile, “I want to do things that are shocking.” Critics dismissed the stiffly bibbed Prabal Gurung gown she wore to the Screen Actors Guild Awards in January, but “I wanted to go extreme in hair and makeup, like a Bowie character, maybe,” Ms. Jones said. “I thought that might be a little confusing, which I like.” She accented the trim black Chanel dress she wore last week to the gala for the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with messily coiled hair and masklike eyes, prompting self-appointed red carpet pundits to quip that she looked like Batman, or worse, like the white swan’s evil double. So what? “Those people don’t have degrees in fashion,” Ms. Jones said. “Why would I care what they say?”

Money: “I wasn’t brought up with money. I don’t think I’d spend more than $150 on a shirt.” She is orderly. “I’m almost O.C.D.,” she said. “You will never find a piece of clothing on my floor. I can’t relax if I’m sitting in a mess.” She has passed that fastidiousness to her son. “His first word was ‘Mama,’ ” she said. “His second was ‘back,’ ‘cause I keeping saying, ‘Put it back.’ ”

Eating her son’s placenta. “It was like taking a vitamin blended into a smoothie,” she said unabashedly, explaining that the practice is a common folk remedy against postpartum blues. Maybe she shouldn’t have been so candid, Ms. Jones said, adding with pinch of sarcasm: “I’m a mammal. I nursed. I did all kinds of weird stuff.”

[From The NYT]

It’s amazing to me that January managed to get through a big interview with a non-celebrity media outlet and she didn’t get asked a single question about Liam Hemsworth and whether she is the reason Liam and Miley Cyrus are maybe/probably not engaged anymore. The NYT referenced it of course, but if January said one word about it, they didn’t include it. As for her OCD thing and her son’s second word being “back” – that’s just funny. I would like to imagine January loosens up and warms up around her son, but maybe not. Maybe she’s more like Betty Francis than we even realized.

OK, I think we shall name this post “The Remainders”. Because we totally missed them early this morning when we were culling through the photos. Which speaks volumes about the fashion you are about to see. Let’s start with January Jones in Chanel… the dress doesn’t bother me at all. It’s a pretty dress and I’m surprised she got her hands on a Chanel for the Met Gala. BUT THE MAKEUP. She looks like she’s about to suck out our souls. Is that punk?

Alexander Skarsgard was there! I bet he was catnip to some of these ladies. Ten bucks says Cameron Diaz was trying to stab that with her spiked belt.

Livia and Colin Firth were there! There weren’t many photos of them though. I’m sure Livia’s dress is recycled or sustainable. It’s really pretty.

Damian Lewis and his wife Helen. I LOVE her dress.

Jessica Biel in Giambattista Valli. This is terrible! Justin Timberlake didn’t want any part of it so he didn’t even walk the carpet with her.

Chelsea Clinton looks SO MUCH like Hillary here.

Kerry Washington in Vera Wang. EH. I’ve seen her look so much better, and this doesn’t work on any kind of punk level. Overall, she just looks cheap.

Kristen Dunst in Louis Vuitton. Not the best, not the worst.

Sienna Miller in Burberry (sorry we don’t have a full-length photo, but it’s nothing special). The jacket is unexpectedly enchanting.

Here’s some new photos of Liam Hemsworth doing exactly what the paps catch him doing all the time lately — leaving the gym. While I can certainly appreciate that the dude is into fitness, I’m not crazy about his new beardy look (like Kaiser is) these days. I like my Hemsworth brothers clean shaven, thank you very much. Basically, Kaiser can have Liam when he doesn’t use the razor, and I’ll take him on ther other days. Or if it comes down to it, I can just take Chris Hemsworth all the time. My little 5-year-old niece keeps announcing that she wants to marry Thor, and I just told her to get in line behind Aunt Bedhead.

Anyway, this is an update post about Liam and Miley Cyrus’ neverending drama, and I pretty much ignored Snoop Lion’s recent (stoned) declaration that the Miley-Liam situation is actually a “relationship that no longer exists” because I figure Snoop was stoned out of his mind during that interview. Also, I think a lot of people are suffering from Miley fatigue, and even though she might have actually told Snoop it was over, that might have just been a momentary thing. Like, Miley and Liam may just break up every other day, and it’s getting seriously old.

Now onto today’s topic, which is a new story from Star that alleges Liam is still hot and heavy with January Jones. This comes (sort of) hot on the heels of last week’s Enquirer story about Miley being enraged to discover that Liam is still texting January. Of course, Star was the first one to scrounge up a story about Liam and January making out at a party after those photos surfaced of them sharing a car ride. Now Star says that Liam is developing feelings for January and that Miley knows what’s going on, but she just thinks he’ll get over it and come back to her. Oh girl:

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth’s relationship has been hanging by a tread lately, and the engaged couple are in for a whole new wave of drama — because Liam, 23, is secretly dating January Jones! After being the first to reveal the pair’s secret hookup in February after being spotted leaving a pre-Oscars party together, Star has now learned that Liam’s dalliance with January, 35, has turned into a full-blown relationship!

According to an inside source, the Hunger Games actor has become a fixture at January’s L.A. home in recent weeks. “Liam is at January’s house all the time,” says the insider. “He brings her favorite wine, and they hook up. They have date nights in — they never go out, because they want to keep it a secret.”

Although Miley, 20, is fully aware of Liam’s rendezvous with January, she is apparently refusing to break up with him; she’s praying it’s just a phase and that he’ll come to his senses. “She’s in denial,” continues the source. “She is desperate to marry Liam and make the relationship work.”

But while the “Ashtrays and Heartbreaks” singer may still be fantasizing about a wedding, Liam and January have developed strong feelings for each other. “Liam is interested in seeing where the relationship can go,” spills the pal. “January is doing her best to keep Liam around.” With Miley’s dad, Billy Ray, recently referring to his daughter and Liam as “really good friends,” the odds look like they are ever in January’s favor!

[From Star, print edition, May 6, 2013]

God, how long with this nonsense continue before Miley finally wakes up and pushes this dude out of her life? For her part, Miley is still continuing her claims that she’s all about the music but is also upping the stakes by saying she’s so super-focused in the studio now that she’s voluntarily pushing everyone away. If Miley is always in the studio as she claims, then why are we getting photos of her clubbing and smoking weed while pantless? All for music that isn’t even very good.

Now let’s get back to January, who has been looking quite pleased with herself lately, hasn’t she?

The Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth “are they or aren’t they?” affair is truly becoming a bit tedious, but the tabloids aren’t done with this couple just yet. Nobody really seems to know what’s going on with Liam and Miley, and even Billy Ray Cyrus has admitted that he doesn’t know what the hell is happening. All we really know for sure is that Liam took a solo vacation in Australia to get away from things after he and January Jones supposedly made out at a pre-Oscar party. Then Miley played the ring game for awhile and Liam eventually returned to Los Angeles where they were trying to work it out, whatever that means.

Most recently, Life & Style published a story about how Liam and Miley had (at the very least) postponed their wedding, and People received the official publicist confirmation yesterday that this part of the story is true. Now a story in this week’s Enquirer says that Miley found some new texts between Liam and January, and she’s absolutely livid as a result. Here are the details:

Miley Cyrus caught fiance Liam Hemworth texting “Mad Men” siren January Jones, and now she’s telling pals they’re kaput, say sources. “Miley couldn’t believe it!” an insider told The Enquirer. “As if the embarrassment over Liam’s fling with January wasn’t bad enough, to find out that he’s still in touch with her is pretty much the nail in the coffin as far as their relationship is concerned.”

Miley, 20, and the Hunger Games hunk fell in love while filming the 2010 drama The Last Song. But they hit a rough patch after Liam, 23, was spotted leaving an Oscar party with Jones, 35, in February. The two were reportedly seen “making out,” and Miley was so enraged that Liam fled to his native Australia for three weeks in hopes that she would cool off.

Despite a brief reunion upon his return, things have gone from bad to worse for the couple. Miley has been flirting up a storm with her ex Nick Jonas and model Patrick Schwarzenegger. She was also spotted smoking a suspicious-looking cigarette on a hotel balcony in Miami, where she partied hard at hip-hop mogul Pharrel Williams’ birthday bash.

Meanwhile, Liam cozied up to a mystery blonde in a Los Angeles bar on the same weekend. Added the source: “Miley has been telling pals that Liam is no longer interested in even trying to talk things through, and now she knows why. At least she found out about his roving eye before they tied the knot.”

[From Enquirer, print edition, April 29, 2013]

I hate to say it, but it doesn’t sound entirely implausible that Liam would still be in surreptitious contact with January. They obviously are comfortable enough to (at minimum) share a car ride home from a party, so they’ve almost certainly got each other’s digits.

That’s not all of the tabloid fun for Miley this week. This week’s issue of Star says that Miley is “guilting” Liam into sticking around by “deliberately acting out of control because she knows that he’ll come “rushing in to save her. He has the kindest heart, and Miley knows he can’t turn away if he thinks she needs help.” I don’t know if Miley and her pantless pot smoking are really going to bring Liam running to “rescue” her. These two haven’t been photographed together in months, and she didn’t even go to the MTV Movie Awards with him last weekend. One would think that if they were still a solid couple, Miley would want to show everyone what she’s got. That hasn’t happened.

What is the consensus on Katy Perry? Would she ever, say, blatantly hit on a married man, a man she knew to be married? I kind of doubt it. But this may be a special occasion. According to Star Mag (eh), Orlando Bloom was flying solo at an event in Santa Monica recently, and Katy Perry was flirting up a storm. She might have even thought she had a chance! Hilariously, January Jones was also at the same party and she too had Orly in her sights. And whatever January wants, January gets. Which is fine because January usually has pretty low standards. I mean, it’s not like she’s aiming for George Clooney (although I would love to see that). Anyway, here’s what went down:

Katy Perry and January Jones didn’t let Orlando Bloom’s wedding ring stop them from some serious flirting at April 10’s Coach Evening of Coacktails in Santa Monica, which Orlando attended without wife Miranda Kerr.

“Orlando was sitting with three businesspeople, but that didn’t matter to January,” recalls the witness. “She went straight for him and interrupted his conversation.”

But an uninterested Orlando made it clear he didn’t want to chat with January, and she quickly scuttled away to down a few more Heinekens. Katy didn’t fare much better.

“She was completely starstruck and got supergiggly when he asked for a picture of her – she thought he was digging her… but the pic was actually for a female friend! Katy was annoyed but agreed to the picture and then attempted to flirt after that, but he blew her off and continued his business chat. It’s clear he’s a happily married man.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

Well… maybe Orlanda thinks he’s a happily married man. Whether or not his marriage is really in good shape… that remains to be seen. I’m not going to build a conspiracy out of the fact that Orlando went solo to an event – married people do that all the time. I will build a conspiracy out of the idea that Miranda Kerr pissed off the wrong people, perhaps by banging the wrong married dude, and that her career is suffering because of it, and when her career suffers, she looks for a way to upgrade. And maybe Orlando isn’t doing much for her career right now? Which has nothing to do with how Orlando reacted to Katy Perry and January Jones. If I saw January’s stone-cold vanilla bitch-face coming towards me, I would turn away too.

The LA premiere of Mad Men Season 6 was held last night, and there are lots of new photos! Considering this is a Thursday and it’s not crazy in the gossip world right now, I thought we’d take out time going through lots of these photos. I was going to lump all of the Mad Men ladies together, but no. I want to spread this out! Because OMG MEGAN DRAPER. This is the reason I haven’t been looking forward to this season as much as past seasons. It’s because of Megan Draper. And no disrespect to Jessica Pare at all – I think she’s a decent actress doing the best job possible with a supremely annoying character. I don’t even want to say that Megan Draper’s trajectory is weak writing, because I feel like the writers gave Don Draper the fait accompli of that Faustian bargain he made in Korea – you can change your name, you can start over, you can scrub your past, but it will always come back and there will never be anything better, the grass only looks greener on the other side, but everything is always the worst. That being said, I don’t even want to look at Megan Draper any more. I hate her.

Anyway, Jessica wore this Prabal Gurung which I kind of love. Gorgeous. But not on her, right? I’d like to see this dress on another woman, with different shoes. I also think Jessica should stop with this kind of styling. Center part, sleek ponytail and dark eyes? Yikes. It does nothing for her face.

If looking good is the best revenge for the second Mrs. Draper (yeah, I said it, ANNA DRAPER CAME FIRST), then January Jones is winning. Fat Betty wore this beachy Joanthan Saunders dress with a surprise side view of her beav. Doesn’t January look pretty when she’s not trying to be so hardcore high-fashion? She looks amazing!

On Friday, we reported how Miley Cyrus had finally (after two weeks of speculation involving Liam Hemsworth and January Jones allegedly getting it on at a pre-Oscar party) stepped out for photogs without her engagement ring. By then, Life & Style had already published an alleged breakup story, but Miley had insisted that she and Liam were cool. All along, I was wondering why Miley never got papped with Liam to prove there were as okay as she had claimed.

Ordinarily, I try not to read too much into the wearing of wedding and engagement rings because I am not a huge jewelry person myself and have been guilty of forgetting to wear significant pieces as well. However, Miley knows exactly what she’s doing, and now a new story from E! News comes straight from Miley’s team. The piece acknowledges that Liam has flown alone to Australia but that Miley is still here because she’s so busy being a rock star. Further, “Her new music is going to be so amazing, she can’t wait for everyone to hear it” (which is a similar sentiment to her recent twitfit), and it doesn’t bother her at all that a bunch of Aussie girls spotted Liam in New Wales and “started screaming his name and running toward him.”

Here’s something kind of hilarious though. TMZ ran into January Jones as she was landing at LAX a few days ago, and they asked her what happened with Liam in the back of that car. January said absolutely nothing (she never does) and merely glared at the camera, which pretty much tells us everything we need to know. If anything, January knows exactly how to keep a secret because we’re all still wondering about the identity of her baby daddy. As for Liam, he hasn’t directly said anything about the situation as of yet, but someone from his side told People that he flew to Australia on March 1 so that he could “have a break” from his troubles with Miley. Here are the details:

Following days of split speculation, the tension continues for Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth.

“Miley is still upset with Liam,” a source told PEOPLE on Friday after the 20-year-old star stepped out sans engagement ring. “She took the ring off to make him mad.”

But, says the source, “It doesn’t mean that they have split. Miley says they are still together.”

Given the recent ups and downs, “Liam did fly home [to Australia on March 1] so they could have a break,” the source adds, noting that he has been spending time with his brother Chris, with whom he is very close.

And while he is about 14,500 miles away, Cyrus is hanging in L.A. and was photographed out Thursday night with longtime pal, Paul Khoury.

Problems between the engaged pair became apparent at the end of February, when rumors flew that Hemsworth, 23, was overly friendly with January Jones at a party — and then spotted sharing a ride.

But an insider counters that the two have been longtime friends: “[They] used to go clubbing together in L.A. They have been friends for a while,” says insider.

Earlier this week, Miley was “upset and angry about the cheating rumors,” according to the source. Still, the problems don’t stem solely from infidelity buzz.

“Miley is crazy about Liam, but sometimes doesn’t treat him great,” the source said at the time. “She likes things her way and tends to play games. Liam is also a strong person and that’s why they often butt heads.”

[From People]

The spin here is clearly coming from Liam’s team with the not-so-subtle implication that Miley treats him like crap at times. Still, that doesn’t excuse him getting caught in the backseat of a car with January Jones unless he and Miley and broken up ahead of time (and even then, it’s still sketchy). Meanwhile, Us says that Miley failed to wear her tacky engagement ring for a second day in a row and that she’s allegedly doing so not because she and Liam have officially broken up, but she’s just leaving the ring off to bother him, which is also the same vibe I’m getting from the People story. Us also says that “he’s not happy,” and “she’s over it,” but Miley was spotted attending a party with one of Liam’s friends, Paul Khoury. So who knows.

Here stands another day in the Miley Cyrus/Liam Hemsworth/January Jones “did they, or didn’t they?” saga. To recap, Liam and January were spotted suspiciously sharing a car ride home after a pre-Oscars party at the Chateau Marmont on Saturday evening. Miley was not in attendance at this event, and she didn’t take Liam with her when she went to Elton John’s Oscar party the following evening. So for whatever reason, Liam ended up alone inside a car with January, and early previews of this week’s issue of Star revealed allegations that Liam and January were pawing each other at the party and even locked lips. A lot of people also thought that Liam was the guy in Lainey’s blind item who just happened to be too young to be engaged and stepping out on his betrothed.

Now the full story has appeared in Star. In addition to the details about Liam and January’s supposed behavior before they were photographed droving off together into the night, we’re getting word of Miley’s alleged “single” behavior at Elton’s party. Further, Star claims that “friends say Liam hates Miley’s punky new look,” which honestly wouldn’t surprise me. I think Miley looks fine, but Liam did get with her when she looked very different from how she does now. Here are the details:

“Where’s Miley Cyrus?” That’s what onlookers were whispering on Feb. 23, when Liam Hemsworth spent the evening flirting up a storm with “Mad Men” actress January Jones at a pre-Oscars party at West Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont. “It looked like they had some hot chemistry,” reports an eyewitness at the event. “They were all over each other — and they even kissed!”

After steaming up the soiree, the pair left together. “Liam got January’s coat and helped her put it on, then they headed outside,” adds the source. “They made sure to leave a few seconds apart, so they wouldn’t attract too much attention. Theyn they jumped into a waiting car and took off.”

Of course, Liam, 23, is engaged to Miley — and their top-secret wedding is rumored to be happening in Palm Springs, Calif., in June. But lately, there have been rumblings that the couple are on the rocks and after Liam’s lusty outing with January, 35, friends are wondering if the wedding is still on!

While Miley, 20, skipped the party with Liam, she did attend another Oscars bash the next night, thrown by Elton John’s AIDS Foundation. “Miley was all over the place,” a party guest tells Star. “She certainly gave off the impression that she’s single. Someone even asked her how Liam was doing, and she said she doesn’t care how he’s doing!”

That’s obviously a strange response from someone about to be married. But strange behavior is nothing new for Miley. While at New York Fashion Week in mid-February, sources say Miley partied nonstop. “She was fliring with every guy and girl in sight,” an insider says, “Especially the models!”

January, meanwhile, has a reputation for romancing unavailable men. In addition to high-profile exes Ashton Kutcher, Josh Groban and Jason Sudeikis, she has reportedly been linked to married celebrity chef Bobby Flay and supermodel Claudia Schiffer’s husband, producer Matthew Vaughn. But regardless of her history, January can’t take full blame for the hookup. “Miley is not the girl Liam fell in love with,” says a friend. “She’s turned into an embarrassment.”

[From Star, print edition, March 11, 2013]

Just to point out a glaring error in this story, January wasn’t wearing a coat that evening, but that erroneous detail might just be filler and doesn’t mean that the rest of the story isn’t true. For what it’s worth though, a Miley source has contacted E! News and to say that Liam and Miley are still “totally together,” and there’s “no drama” because they attended separate events over the weekend. Whatever. Miley would have Liam doing a photo op with her if they were still together, right?

No matter what we believe about Miley’s alleged antics in this Star story, the fact still remains that Miley’s Twitter remains dark and has been inactive since Monday, which is unheard of since Miley loves to tweet, and she regularly takes to the site to debunk gossip. There’s also an unsubtantiated rumor floating around out there that claims Miley tweeted, “Not to worry, I won’t break,” on Monday and then deleted it, so who knows.

When she’s not busy boning random husbands and fiancés (seriously!), January Jones loves to talk about eating her own placenta. Did I say that incorrectly? She ate the placenta that came with her son Xander. Last year she talked about it with People Magazine, saying: “I have a great doula who makes sure I’m eating well, with vitamins and teas, and with placenta capsulation. Your placenta gets dehydrated and made into vitamins. It’s something I was very hesitant about, but we’re the only mammals who don’t ingest our own placentas. It’s not witch-crafty or anything! I suggest it to all moms!” Many people slammed her for talking about eating her placenta, but if we’re discussing January Jones’ Mistakes In Life, I believe freeze-drying and eating a placenta is far down the list. So, January covers the new issue of Glamour UK (the April issue), and she’s still talking about placentas.

She hit headlines and divided opinion when she admitted she had consumed her own placenta following the birth of her son Xander. But now January Jones has come forward to reveal the reasons behind her somewhat unorthodox decision, saying that dehydrating the organ and eating it in the form of vitamin capsules helped her beat her baby blues.

Speaking to Britain’s Glamour magazine, January, 35, said that while her revelation caused a stir, she would recommend the pills to any expectant mother. She said: ‘I should never have told anyone about that. But it’s not gross or witchcrafty. Nor am I putting it in a shake or eating it raw. It’s a very civilised thing that can help women with depression or fatigue. I was never depressed or sad or down after the baby was born, so I’d highly suggest it to any pregnant woman.’

The placenta, an organ attached to the lining of the womb during pregnancy, is known to contain high levels of vitamins, particularly vitamin B6 – known to help curb postnatal depression.

January raises her son 17-month-old Xander on her own and has never revealed the identity of her the little boy’s father, but says she hates the taboo that often comes with being a single mother.

She said: ‘People keep saying, “Oh poor you, being a single mum”. But I don’t want to be pitied. I can do anything I want to do. I work, I date, I have friends. I have time for everything I had time for before. I just have an added amazing thing in my life. I don’t think being a single mum is something I need to feel sorry about or need to go to group therapy over. It’s really a joy in my life and that’s it. I have a great family and friends, and I know they’d be there if I needed help, but I feel like I’m doing it fine on my own. Being a mum is something I always wanted to do and I love it.’

January, who recently split from film director Noah Miller after a brief relationship, also spoke about her romance history, admitting that while she would love to date someone outside of her industry, it is too hard to meet people away from her work life.

The Mad Men star, who has dated stars including Ashton Kutcher and Jason Sudeikis in the past, said: ‘There was a time in my life when I said I’d never date another actor. But it’s hard to meet people outside of my job. In life, you tend to date the people who are around you, people you see every day. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to date someone who does our job, because it’s so transient. You’re never in the same place for long.’

And asked to describe her ideal man, January replied: ‘I don’t really have a type. But someone who is kind is important to me. Someone who I can have a laugh with, someone to trust.’

[From The Mail]

January continued: “It also really turns me on when someone is wearing a wedding ring, or when he’s talking about his fiancée. I get off on that. Like when Bobby Flay kept ordering drinks for me and then he kept talking about his wife. I try not to date actors, but ‘date’ doesn’t mean I won’t have a one-night-stand with Miley Cyrus’s fiancé. What were we talking about?” Anyway, I agree, there’s no shame in January choosing to be a single mother. She doesn’t need therapy for that or anything. But she might need some therapy for only being sexually attracted to “taken” men? Is that a ‘daddy issues’ thing?
