No One Likes January Jones
At this point, I am trying to find one person in Hollywood who will publicly say they like January Jones. Prior to getting pregnant, I think I could have found several. Those would be the owners of the various bars and places around her home where she buys her booze. They love her. They love her so much they would probably deliver to her house if she asked. But, now that she is pregnant and cutting back on her drinking and driving, there is no one left to sing her praises. Not that she really deserves it. She has burned more bridges than Sherman marching through the South. Too dated? She has burned more bridges than Paris Hilton has "accidentally" exposed her herpes infected va jay jay. Too nasty? She has burned more bridges than Jada Pinkett Smith has talked about having sex. Do you think Jada and Tupac had lots of crazy sex? Oh, do you want some weird news buried here in the middle of a post that has nothing to do with the headline at this point? Apparently there is going to be a Tupac musical on Broadway. Has anyone announced that? Now, back to the headline.
Damon Lindelof, the creator of Lost is the latest person to slam January and he does so because of her lack of acting prowess in the new X-Men movie. Well, Damon, acting is probably not what got her the job. Just sayin'. On his Twitter, besides saying that Walt could just make birds fly into windows he said that January Jones sucks at acting. Do you think he might be friends with the baby daddy?
Wow. Thats all I can say.
ReplyDeleteHee. That post made me giggle!
ReplyDeleteMaybe she'll go away after Mad Men.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, this is what makes me have a love/hate relationship with social media. People toss these statements out into the world without considering hurt feelings or repercussions. What if they run into each other at an industry event one day? And he's also insulting the people on set involved in casting decisions, too. Not every actress can emote as skillfully as Evangeline Lilly, I guess!
ReplyDeleteIf this tweet were about a woman who doesn't currently have a reputation as a homewrecking Ice Queen, I think people would be more aghast at his rudeness.
Besides, I'm still pissed off about the weepy, overly sentimental, and *totally* sloppy way they ended LOST, so Damon can basically kiss my ass. ;-)
Oh Ent, how I've missed you. (Stealing a look while at work.)
ReplyDeleteThe guy is just stating what everyone knows. Poor girl. She needs to go back to the steno pool. Too dated? Poor girl, she needs to go back to being anonymous.
I think she turned him down and he's getting some payback on her. There are lots of bad actors in Hollywood why single her out unless it's personal?
ReplyDeleteBest post ever.
ReplyDeleteSnarkity snark! :) I love that he's not letting Jones skate on that whole drinking and driving incident!
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing about it is that it means Ashton was right all along. And I HATE that.
JJ has a big old plate of payback is a bitch coming her way. Should be fun to watch...Better start popping some popcorn for this one and get a drink.
ReplyDeleteI liked her in the movie. I was prepared not to because I had read all the comments and I also really hated her costume, but Emma Frost is supposed to be a stone-cold bitch, and not much emoting is required for that.
ReplyDeleteI liked JJ in Mad Men but-
ReplyDeleteHer downward acting Karma vortex starting sucking on her disasterous
SNL hosting stint last year-real bad-and hasn't seemed to let up.
Jada and Tupac were an item? I did not know that.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I can't WAIT to see "Super 8". So excited I had to RHYME!
That's why she's perfect in Mad Men, she plays a bitch.
ReplyDeleteFor someone who screwed up his own show, he sure has a lot to say about other people.
ReplyDeleteMy husband who has worked as an actor and director thought she was terrific in Mad Men. Until he realized that is the way she really is!
ReplyDelete@childeroland - EXACTLY.
ReplyDeleteIsn't Damon the same little crybaby bawbag bitch that got all butthurt when George R. R. Martin said that the ending of LOST sucked? Yeah, let he who is without sin...blah...blah blah.
And I like January Jones. I like her...a lot.
Tupac was the one who outed Jada as being gay. He was really in love with her when they went to high school together.
ReplyDeleteEveryone knows January Jones can't act.
how come know one likes her? sorry ive been in la la land...
ReplyDeleteEver since she got pregnant people are slamming her. Maybe she is a bitch, I don't care. She does a good job on Mad Men and I don't think any of us knows her personally. It's a double standard though if the baby daddy's friends are all of the suddon slamming her because of the affair/pregnancy. He hired her for his movie and slept with her. No one forced him. So if she really is such a bad actress then he basically hired her for sex.
ReplyDeleteIt's not just since the pregnancy, bumblebee.
ReplyDelete@flwrgurl - two main things. She was leaving an awards show (or something) last year, hit a car and then fled the scene and went home. From records, she called Bobby FLAY for advice (??) and then went back to the scene, presumably after she had sobered up. This prompted all those "sleeping with married men" rumours, which, it turns out, are probably true considering her current situation.
Second: according to Zach G., she invited him over for a conversation and then after about 15 minutes, said: "You should leave now", basically shooing him away. Who does that?
I didn't know Jada & Tupac dated either?! I would totally see that musical. I loved his music.
ReplyDeleteI love how this post was all over the place. :)
I'm not January Jones sympathizer but I think it's kind of shitty what Damon said, especially via Twitter. That seems worse to me for some reason than saying it in an interview.
it saddens me that she makes such poor choices and seems to shoot herself in the foot time and again...she was really promising, career-wise, for a while there, wasn't she? wow.
ReplyDeleteOn a somewhat related note - Jennifer Love Hewitt has been named "Worst actress of The past 25 years."

Somewhere in Los Angeles today, Jennifer Lopez is breathing a sigh of relief.
I'll bet Janet Jackson and Tupac had some great sex though.
ReplyDeleteThat was very mean girl-ish of him.
ReplyDeleteWhen you are a public figure, such as an actress, you are bound to get public criticism. January can't act. She does well enough in Mad Men because that is the nature of the character she is playing. She was horrible in Swedish Auto & I couldn't believe what I was watching. Her interviews & how she presents herself show what a bitch she can be. How call a married man when they are involved in a drunken driving hit & run? I'm sure Bobby had a few choice words in private for her. How did Josh Groban ever put up with her. Ashton Kuchter doesn't count.
ReplyDeleteBaby Daddy...har har
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, because he thinks she's a bad actress she must have turned him down, right? Like the comedian with a funny name. This is the default explanation not to like someone now?
ReplyDeleteGuess what? Maybe he really thinks she's a bad actress, like a lot of people do and never even met her.
And ohh, how dare he speak his mind in his twitter account. Yes, it might be rude, but it's his way of expression. And I gotta say I like when someone is this business is honest and not afraid of repercussions.
Ashton never said she was a bitch - he said she wouldn't make it as an actress. She did that - depending on what you call "acting." But she did make it.
ReplyDeleteStill, I don't like her.
Jason - Madonna should have won that award.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Lindelof is saying exactly what Kutcher said...that she can't act. And I hate that he's right.
bumblebee - I assure you I've been "slamming" this trick long before she got pregnant. I adore Mad Men, and she's the only glaring weak link. I've been criticizing her as an actress since season one of said show, and subsequent seasons plus SNL haven't proven me wrong.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one seeing a reveal in this post? Remember an old blind having to do with actress/booze n delivery? We thought it was terri hatcher????
ReplyDeleteeasy to beat up on someone when their stock is low. why suddenly does everyone hate her? is it not PC to be neutral because of the baby daddy? bunch of suck ups.
ReplyDeleteim not even sure who she is. never seen mad men.
I cant believe it! In a previous post, so many people were defending her actings skills... What happened there?
ReplyDeleteOh and also, the only reason for why people don't like her is because they are ugle and she is pretty, didnt you know that?
(sorry, just had to.)
LOL I love it when you ramble Enty!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad some people on this thread are defending her. I don't really care about her one way or another, but all this public slamming is making me feel kinda bad for her.
ReplyDeletelafawnduh - i thought the same thing! this is a reveal, but i'm too lazy to find the exact blind item.
ReplyDeleteI just like looking at her, she's so beautiful. And I'm fond of the ice queen perona. Every blog has pictures of her and are basically calling her a bitch but I don't see pictures of the married guy.
ReplyDeleteShe was terrible on SNL but a lot of actors have been. Some just don't have comedic timing. The two worst that come to mind (who weren't athletes, politicians or singers) were Calista Flockheart and Pierce Brosnan. Wayne Gretzky was adorably bad.
Ooops, meant to write "persona."
ReplyDelete@anita_mark - Exactly. I think she's absolutely beautiful. And the 1950's styled etiquette sketch she did cracked me up.
ReplyDeleteI saw X Men in spite of JJ being in it. I can't exactly see her poster om some teenage boys wall. I expect we are seeing the high water mark of her career. Vaughn will probably pay a fair amount of child support so no worries about her going on the welfare.
ReplyDeleteI like January Jones. I think she is absolutely beautiful and I love Betty Draper. As for being pregnant with a married man's baby, it takes two to tango. If the guy didn't want to be a dad, he should have wrapped that rascal!
ReplyDeleteOk, I've never seen her in anything so I can't comment on her acting. However, I still like her... There's just something about her that I like and I can't figure it out. I've seen a lot of sucky people on SNL, actually my husband and I were talking about it just the other day. Some people get shitty jokes, some have bad timing, and sometimes they rely too much on the person's reputation of being funny.
ReplyDeleteSide note: I probably would've told Zach it was time for him to leave too. He can be funny at times, but it can become grating. And maybe he was rude first.
Stating an actor cannot act (January Jones) is not the same as bashing her. I've never seen her TV show, but what I have seen her in does not display any acting ability. That can be said of most of Hollyweird though.
ReplyDeleteCaroline said: "If the guy didn't want to be a dad, he should have wrapped that rascal! "
ReplyDeleteLOL!!
IMO, January Jones is about as boring as Blake Lively. Zero acting skills? Check. Forgettable face and personality? Check. Success in Hollywood achieved under suspicious circumstances? Check.
