January Jones Celebrates Her Birthday With A Festive Pair Of Hammer Pants

January Jones treated her lower torso to some billowing electric blue pajama pants last night while visiting Fogo de Chao in West Hollywood for her 33rd birthday. Maybe it’s just us, but the Mad Men star’s outfit looks like it’s business on top, Hammer Time on bottom. While January’s cardigan says, “I’m a go-getter with a knack for office management,” her pants scream, “I should be dancing through a puddle behind Heavy D in the “Now That We Found Love” video.” Are we just being jealous of how comfortable January’s legs must be in all that fabric, or are those things truly as eye-searing as we think they are?

Did January Jones Name Her Baby After Her Baby Daddy?

Could it be possible that the name of January Jones’ baby Xander Dane Jones could be more than just a Buffy The Vampire Slayer shout-out in birth certificate form? The Superficial is suggesting that January’s teeny pink ball of infant adorableness might have allegedly been named after his as-yet-unknown father. So who would that unknown papa be? Allegedly Xander Berkeley, Jones’ costar in upcoming action flick Seeking Justice. January Jones’ other costar on that movie is Nic Cage, so yeah, the less of two evils at least.

The identity of January Jones’ baby daddy has remained a mystery, as January herself has never revealed it in public, and you know how the Interwebs get whipped into a frenzy by secrets. That being said, seeing as how Berkeley is both married and old enough to be that baby’s granddaddy, we’d take this rumor with a heaping tablespoon of salt. After all, little Xander is a celebrity baby. For all we know, actors and actresses are required to name their kids whatever comes out of the Random Celebrity Baby Name Generator.

January Jones Welcomes Baby Boy

January Jones’ baby boy arrived on Tuesday, People reports, and with an only slightly stranger than average moniker: Xander Dane Jones. Okay, let’s call that moderately weird. You can have Xander or you can have Dane, January, but both? That’s a celebrity baby name right there. According to the Mad Men star’s rep, Jones, who announced her pregnant back in April, and her baby friend are “doing great:.” Based on the hundreds of hours of pregnancy yoga January has logged in the past couple months, we’re sure Xander was born in peak physical health and in Crane Pose. Until January plans to have another very flexible child, let us look back fondly on her bump…

John Slattery Defends January Jones Alleged Ice-Cold Divatude

So is she or isn’t she sweetness and light? Little Bobby Draper on Mad Men aka Jared Gilmore thinks January Jones — his TV Mom — totally isn’t. He recently told TV Guide, “She’s not as approachable as the others. She’s really serious about what she does. Everyone else is so nice.” The kid’s eleven! They normally don’t have any sort of filter at that age which means he probably meant what he said. Which, FYI, totally backs up Zach Galifianakis‘ claim that January is a meanie.

With all the reports pouring in about Ms Betty, her co-star’s done her a solid by leaping to her defense. Standing up for her, John Slattery has said of January, “Well, it’s an intimidating character. I mean, that’s the character. Betty Draper is an intimidating woman I suppose, if you were a 7-year-old boy [or] her so. No, she’s a sweetheart. We got lucky. We don’t have anybody like that. I have no doubts she’ll make a great mother.” Sounds sincere to us, but then again, she may have terrified him into saying that!

January Jones’ TV Son Thinks She’s Kind Of Mean

There’s something about January Jones that just seems to rub people the wrong way. We’ve told you about Zach Galifianakis chewing her out for being rude, and now her eleven-year-old costar is doing the same! Little Jared Gilmore, better known to the world as January’s TV son Bobby Draper on Mad Men, is leaving the show after one season . But before he goes, he offered some cautionary words to whoever his replacement might be. “Be careful around January,” he told TV Guide. “She’s not as approachable as the others. She’s really serious about what she does. Everyone else is so nice.” Considering the fact that she plays a raging icy spiteful biotch-sicle on the show, perhaps she’s just really into her role? But the fact that Mad Men has gone through three actors for Bobby might be a hint. We hope Jared has happier days on the set of his next acting job, ABC’s new series Once Upon A Time. And we hope that January chills out!

Celebrities Spend Memorial Day In Malibu

If star spotting are your thing then you should have been in Malibu yesterday. Celebrities were dotted all over the place — with their kids and significant others — from the beach to parks, and it looked like the ideal way to celebrate Memorial Day. Katie Holmes and Suri had a whale of a time on the beach, as did Gavin Rossdale, Gwen Stefani and their two sons Kingston and Zuma. Also seen enjoying the surf with their kids were Marcia Cross and her daughters, and a preggers Tori Spelling. Spelling had rented a seaside home with her husband Dean McDermott.

Doing the whole beach party thing sans kids were a very pregnant January Jones and Barbra Streisand, who attended the same party. Cisco Adler and his wife also caught some sun. Checking out Malibu playgrounds and parks were Adam Sandler and his daughters (as seen in the picture above), as well as Alessandra Ambrosio and her daughter Anja. We hope you had a great long weekend too!

January Jones Takes Her Bump To The Tonight Show, Baby Daddy Rumors Swirl

We know it’s all been said before: blah blah January Jones is beautiful yadda yadda yadda. That being said, these January Jones baby bump photos are making us feel guilty about wearing sweatpants all day, when we aren’t even lugging around an extra person in our abdomen. Not so guilty that we’re going to change pants, but super close.

Meanwhile, several blind items have hinted that the alleged identity of January Jones baby daddy is Matt Vaughn, director of X-Men: First Class. The only problem? Vaughn is still very much married to Claudia Schiffer. E! postulated the connection after several sources reported the director and star had a “very close” relationship on-set, and the director skipped yesterday’s New York screening. Vaughn denied fathering Jones’ child or carrying on an affair through his representation when asked. Whoever the father is, her X-Men: First Class cast mates have no doubt January will be a great mama. “She’s a fantastic person. She’s very sweet. Just in the experience of working with her, she sort of gets up and gets on with it, and I think she’ll probably do the same in motherhood,” Michael Fassbender told US Magazine. January Jones: getting up and getting on like a champ!

X-Men: First Class New York Premiere Brings Out The Pack

This is one of the movie’s we can’t wait to watch this summer! The X-Men: First Class premiere took place at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City yesterday and most of the star cast turned up for it. January Jones decided to play where’s-the-baby-bump, because we could see nary a sign of it in her Preen dress and Prada shoes. Zoe Kravitz and Michael Fassbender—co-stars and a couple—looked liked the perfect pair. She was slinky in an Alexander Wang dress and Chanel shoes, and he was gorgeous in a three-piece grey suit and aviators.

James McAvoy (who we just love), Kevin Bacon and Lucas Till rounded up the men and we’re thinking… this movie is going to be such a babe fest! Rose Byrne looked better than we’ve ever seen her in a Marc Jacobs Fall 2011 navy lace dress with Bryan Atwood pumps. We’re a little disappointed that Jennifer Lawrence didn’t show up, but that’s just us fangirling.

Jennifer Lawrence Works It Out, Goes Blue In New X-Men: First Class TV Spots

What would you say seems like the greater cinematic feat in the new X-Men: First Class TV trailers: the CGI needed for Jennifer Lawrence to morph into blue-scaled mutant Mystique, or the editing need to make January Jones look like she might not be reading off a cue-card while her character Emma Frost threatens the safety of humanity? Oh yes, we went there! What are you going to do, blow us up with your chest laser like Lucas Till‘s Havok?* Either way, there is plenty of movie magic to be found in the film, opening June 3; Michael Fassbender‘s seriously creepy magnetic powers and Kevin Bacon‘s luxuriant hair piece are but one small part of an awesome look whole.

*Note: Please do not blow us up with your chest lasers (more…)
