January Jones Became Famous Despite Ashton Kutcher

Don't tell January Jones what she can't do. Even if you're Ashton Kutcher.
Back when the South Dakota-born Mad Men actress – she plays Mrs. Don Draper – first arrived in Los Angeles and was dating the now-Mr. Demi Moore, Kutcher didn't think the onetime Abercrombie and Fitch model could make it as a thespian.
"[He] was not supportive of my acting," Jones, 31, says in the new issue of GQ. "He was like, I don't think you're going to be good at this. So – f--- 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."

January Jones Hopes Christina Hendricks Doesn't Lose Her Curves

Mad Men's January Jones thinks costar Christina Hendricks looks great on her new diet – but hopes it doesn't cause her to lose one of her best assets.
"I think she looks beautiful. Her body is amazing," Jones, 31, said at the Entertainment Tonight/PEOPLE Emmy after-party. "My only advice is to not go too far, because if she loses her curves it will be a very sad day."
But as for what soon-to-be-wed Hendricks's regimen is, Jones can't help you – it's still a secret to her.

Mad Men's January Jones Dishes on Her 'Cracked' Alter Ego
Originally posted 07/21/2009 10:55AM
Embarking on a one-night stand while married and pregnant is all in a day's work for Mad Men star January Jones.
"She is cracked, which is why I love her," Jones, who covers Interview magazine's August issue, says of her character Betty Draper – the repressed housewife of mercurial ad exec Don Draper (played by Jon Hamm).
"I come from a family of very outspoken women. I can't imagine living in a time when you couldn’t express what you felt," the 31-year-old star says in the interview conducted by Oscar-winning actor Jack Nicholson. "That's why Betty does what she does. She's imploding to the point where she gets so frustrated that she does something wacky."

The actress, who works with the charity Oceana, which protects and restore the world's oceans, is heading to the Bahamas, where she will participate in a Feb. 1 shark dive in Bimini to help save the sharks.
"I'm going to swim with sharks and do cage diving with Great Whites," says Jones, 31. "We have a huge problem that can ruin the whole ecosystem. We need to save the sharks."
