John Slattery Defends 'Mad Men' Costar January Jones

John Slattery Defends 'Mad Men' Costar January Jones

Is January Jones as cold in real life as Betty Draper, the character she plays on AMC's Mad Men? It depends who you ask. After being dissed by Jared Gilmore, the 11-year-old who until recently played Jones' son on the show, for being "not as approachable as others," 33-year-old Jones has found a champion in another Mad Men costar.

John Slattery, the 49-year-old actor who plays advertising exec Roger Sterling on Mad Men, has come to the actress' defense, telling E! News, "She's a sweetheart."

At the Television Arts & Sciences' Performers Peer Group 2011 Emmys cocktail reception in Los Angeles Tuesday night, Slattery said there's a clear distinction between Jones the actress and Betty Draper the character. "Well, it's an intimidating character. I mean, that's the character," he said. "Betty Draper is an intimidating woman I suppose, if you were a 7-year-old boy (or) her son."

Though Zach Galifianakis famously accused Jones of being rude, Slattery insists January has never displayed any diva-like behavior on set. "We got lucky," he said. "We don't have anybody like that."

In an interview with Vanity Fair in 2008, Slattery similarly raved about Jones. "She's great," Slattery said. "I watched her do a scene once, in the living room, and I couldn't tell whether she didn't know her lines or whether she was -- it wasn't that she didn't know her lines; it was that, not even moment to moment but second to second, you were like, what is actually going to come out of her mouth?

"She really does it the hard way, which is she doesn't figure out, 'Oh this is how I'm going to do it,'" Slattery continued. "She does it the way it happens in the second, in the moment, and it sounds clichéd but it's really something to see. You see it when it's on film, but to see her actually shoot it is wild."

And despite what Jones's TV son had to say about her, Slattery didn't have to think twice when asked what kind of mom the pregnant Jones is going to be, saying, "I have no doubts she'll make a great mother."

Celebrity Diets: The Worst of the Worst


Interesting move by the OK! editorial board.

Last week, this entertainment news magazine reported that Kim Kardashian wed, 3-4 days before she actually tied the knot with baller Kris Humphries.

This week, when they would have an actual Kim wedding to report on/make up stories about, they opt for the celebrity diet filler issue. What gives?

Worst Celeb Diets

Perhaps OK! realized that Kim kashed in by selling her wedding pics to People and that their best chance was to jump the gun. Not a terrible idea, really.

In any event, we've got your standard celebrity diet issue here - and apparently, for several well-known celebrity moms, there is cause for concern.

From Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie to Victoria Beckham and LeAnn Rimes, ladies in Hollywood have some DANGEROUS ways of slimming down.

Are some of their diets too extreme? Who eats baby food? Who is such a fitness freak that she pumps iron at all hours? Who lives on 190-calorie meals?

Probably none of them, but hey, gotta sell copies somehow.

Kim Kardashian Sex Tape Site's Wedding Weekend Surge

She recently banked about $18 million from deals associated with her wedding over the weekend, but that?s not all Kim Kardashian made money on.

While the ?Keeping Up With the Kardashians? beauty was tying the knot with basketball player Kris Humphries, over 2 million people visited the site that sells her Ray J-featuring sex tape, ?Kim Kardashian Superstar.?

Apparently, the site usually only sees about 300,000 visitors a month - but this number skyrocketed over the nuptials weekend, as TMZ reports over 2 million people checked in on the naughtiness.

The reality TV star initially fought to keep the sex video from going public, but eventually came to an agreement with Vivid Entertainment that included an undisclosed sum which includes money from the DVD sales.
