This is what I was afraid of. Celebrities know that the world is focused on the royal wedding, so some genius decides to do some kind of news dump, hoping that either A) The story is big enough to overshadow the wedding of the century or B) That no one will notice. In this case, I think it’s B. January Jones is pregnant. God knows who the father is. She might not even know.
Mad Men star January Jones is going to be a mom.
“January Jones is happy to announce that she is expecting her first child this fall,” her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.
While Jones is keeping quiet for now on any other details, a source close to her says, “She’s really looking forward to this new chapter in her life as a single mom.”
Jones, 33, will next be seen in X-Men: First Class.
[From People]
In the past year, January has boned married chef Bobby Flay and single dude Jason Sudeikis. She and Jason broke up months ago, though (December/January). So I doubt Jason is the baby-daddy, and I doubt Bobby is either. Perhaps her dear friend Jack Nicholson – who is “so protective” of her – is the father. Perhaps it’s someone from the X-Men: First Class cast. I’ll cut a bitch if it’s Michael Fassbender. It’s not, right? RIGHT?!?
No, the dad is probably some dude. But it’s certainly interesting, isn’t it? Very suspicious. In any case, congratulations to January!

Oh MY GAWD
Is it Bobby Flay
Honestly… More power to this Scandelous B*tch. I’m kind of loving this move.
It’s not like she has good taste in men anyway. Bobby Flay is a jerk, Ashton Kutcher is a douche and Jason Sudekis is a sportf*ck.
Nobody can deny that January is beautiful; and she’s got plenty of money, so the kid will be taken care of. Not knowing her personally, I think she’ll be a decent mother.
So scandelous. I love it!
Minnie Driver did this first. Padma Lakshmi did it worse.
By not naming the father I think she generates more attention to herself. I have almost forgotten about Rod Stewart’s daughter and Benicio already.
She’s very strange. I would love it if she names the baby February.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! i am LOVING this.
Alex Pettyfer!!!
Wow. I am actually shocked about this news. 😮
Wonder if some juicy stuff is going to come out about this. Would laugh my ass off if Benicio whats-his-face (the guy who knocked up Rod Stewart’s daughter) knocked up this chick too. Imagine it 😆 .
It’s brave (i know, it shouldn’t have to be, im talking about other people’s reaction) to have a child when ur not married, even more brave when ur not in a relationship with the baby-daddy (assuming) and even more brave when ur a celebrity!
-Mel from Spice Girl
-Liz Hurley
-Minnie Driver
-Mary Louise Parker (ok, she was with someone when she decided to have the baby)
Just saying, its a lot to deal with.
I also think its Bobby Flay.
Benicio Del Toro. Duh.
I LOL’d hard at this one.
Breaking news! A successful woman is having a baby while not being saddled down by a faux hollywoood hubby like Tommy C. Whatttawhore. Eff that, let’s say yay for her, it’s better tha Kate “Bellamy”
She always seemed so boing to me. At least she’s done something unexpected. Good for her.
“Mary Louise Parker (ok, she was with someone when she decided to have the baby” Ahem, she had no choice, she was in her last trimester. I still think the dude is a total douche for what he did but she was clearly better off without him.
And I agree – this makes JJ infinitely more intriguing!
In that top photo, she looks mannish. More post-op vs pre-op but still mannish.
I can deny she’s beautiful- she’s a scrawny ‘ho! I bet Bobby Flay is sweating bullets right now- but is it from fear or relief?!
What’s the name of a woman with a hot body, but a messed-up face? In any case, she’s that.
I must be getting old. All the new “it” stars are boring, not like the ’90s and early 2000s.
could this be the answer to that Blind Item???
Holy sh*t, everyone REALLY is having a baby this year!!!!!
She’s a fool, Jason Sudeikis is so hot!!!!
oh, wow. yeah, the statement saying “single mom” makes it very suspicious.
am i weird for being surprised so many of the women decide to keep the kid? i mean, i’m sure tons have abortions that we never hear about. but the way hollywood is, especially for women, most stars get only a small window to really be “it”. having a kid kinda messes that up.
and i didn’t realize she was in hr 30’s.
@k.at: Butterface
Way to go Betty Draper!!!
Or Betsy whatever!
I don’t know if having a kid messes it up. Lots of women in Hollywood had babies at the height of their stardom and they are still on top. I think she is still a TV actress (not knocking it) that is trying to make a name in the movies. It is a difficult thing to do for women and men. Most don’t really reach the top.
She obviously wanted this pregnancy and it means a lot or she would have ended it. I think she is pretty, but I don’t see this “beauty” some are talking about. She looks average to me.. Not bad..but average
I’m married and don’t want kids, but I’d be shouting to anyone who would listen if I was having Jason Sudeikis’ bebe.
Maybe she got knocked up via Jack so she could get his courtside tickets to the Lakers after he passes away?
And a single fuck wasn’t given that day.
next up — Lindsay Lohan announces her pregnancy. lol!
She looks TERRIBLE at the Unknown premiere. What is with that makeup?
I really dislike her, and she’ll probably be an awful mom. I hope not for the kid’s sake, but ya know.
I bet the dad could be Jason Sudeikis though…if she’s 3-4 months along, they could have still been together. Totally weird the way it’s announced though.
On one hand I’m all for women who decide they want a baby, are financially set enough to do it comfortably, and are quite happy to do it on their own (please inform the father though aye?!) etc etc but a little part of me doesn’t want to randomly celebrate women getting accidentally knocked up because they were too lazy to protect themselves.
Of course I don’t know that happened with Ms Jones… it only gives that impression… to me… I could be wrong.
@mln76- which blind item? I remember there being one about a newly pregnant actress, but I can’t remember what it was about…
I’m sure she knows who the father is and just doesn’t think it’s anybody else’s business.
Can you imagine if it were Benicio del Toro? How sleazy would that be?
@kazoo, agreed. Kudos to her for keeping the kid at this critical junction in her career. Hopefully it’s not about riding a money/PR train. If the father is Jack Nicholson, I will vomit copiously (and review said comment about money/PR train). Flay or Random Dude seems more likely.
@mln76, which blind? The other everyone guessed Arronofsky-Weisz-Portman?
@ k.at: it’s ‘butterface’. as in everything is hot ‘but-her-face’.
I used to think she was cute (NEVER gorgeous), but now she seems pretentious and annoying whenever she says anything out loud, so her looks seem to have sunk from “cute” to “cutmyeyesout”. Really, why do such non-stars have to act like they’re the greatest thing to lately grace the world? So she played on Mad Men. So she dated Kutcher. So? Who gives? Oh well. Have a happy time dressing your baby in avant-garde fuggery. Cheers!
I am a little surprised, as most women in her position (probably 12 or so yrs ago anyway) would likely terminate this pregnancy seeing that she is just beginning to make some serious money and garnering tv and film cred. I think it’s probably a good thing that HW has relaxed a little on the whole motherhood thing and that it doesn’t have to really be a career ender, unless you chose to of course.
Yeah, her & Jason broke up at the end of January, she said in a couple of interviews just at the beginning of March that she was NOT dating anyone, so who knows???
@tracking and ctkat1 the blind item that everyone is guessing is Natalie and Aronofsky about a director who ducked out of a project due to a pregnant mistress. Alot of times the subjects aren’t who seems the most obvious.
She probably found out she was pregnant after breaking up with Sudeikis and decided to keep it. I saw a photo of her where she was showing, so she seems at least four months along.
Surprised Flay’s wife is still w/ him.
She always looks so beautiful on Mad Men and so not when she’s photographed at events. She has to be at least 3 or 4 months along, so it could be Sudeikis’s baby.
mln76: I heard that blind was actually about Maya Rudolph, Sam Mendes and that her second daughter is the baby with questionable parternity.
Jason Sudeikis is a DOUCHE. He gives off the impression that he thinks he’s God’s gift. Yeah, well, save the receipt and send that gift BACK!
Er, congrats??
Kiss those cut-out dresses goodbye, sweetie!
Baby daddy issues you do say…..
Congrats to her.
I hate this chick. I checked her astrology and she is a Scorpio Moon and they are very private, solitary and reclusive.
I wouldn’t call it brave. She waited till the world’s attention was on something else probably hoping the news would get pushed to a corner.
This was a blind item. The answer is Matthew Vaughn, the director of the new X-Men… And yes he is married.
I saw JJ on an old episode of Law and Order, and she looked gorgeous & natural. Don`t understand why lovely girls mess with their faces. She is a good actress, but not very likable.
Better not be Jon Hamm!
@Ladybird83 Isn’t Matthew Vaughn married to Claudia Schiffer? How would you like to be a former supermodel cheated on with *this* chick (I don’t like JJ at all)?
If you are referring to this blind item – http://blindgossip.com/?p=28147
It doesn’t fit JJ or Matthew Vaughn at all.
I hate to be the one to point out the obvious here, but that kid is 100% Sudeikis’s!!! If January is due in “the fall” (which presumably means Sept/Oct/Nov) and she and Jason broke up during December/January sometime, just do the math: that means that she concieved during that EXACT time frame at some point.
That is, unless of course she was running aroung having unprotected sex wih somebody(s) else during that exact same time frame (which I am inclined to doubt as I give January a little bit more credit that that…very little *cough cough Bobby Flay* but nevertheless, SOME).
Then again, it may just be the case and Ms. Jones might not know who”s baby she’s carrying herself. I mean, we’ve all seen an episode of “Maury” right? It’s very possible…
