January Jones Says The Character Of Betty Draper Was Never Meant To Exist!

This is so crazy!

In her new interview with W magazine January Jones says that creator Matt Weiner never had the character of Betty Draper drawn up, and that he only created it for January after she auditioned.





The actress is flaunting her tight and toned body in the pages of W!  In the mag's interview January admits she actually auditioned for the part of Peggy first:

"There was no Betty in the pilot when I auditioned…I read for Peggy two times—it was between me and Elizabeth Moss who eventually got the part. At the end of the scene, there was a casual mention that Don was married. Matt went home that night and wrote two scenes that featured Betty. I auditioned a couple of days later, and he made me a verbal promise that the character would grow. I took the part on faith.”





How crazy is that? Betty is one of my favourite characters in the series, and getting a sense of Don's home life is what made his character even better also.

The star also talks about her upcoming role in X-Men: First Class,saying that she can't wait to do promotional work of the Comic-Con:

“That’s perfect! Comic-Con is mostly male, and I don’t really have that audience. And, I’m really like a guy in a lot of ways.”





PS!!

Doesn't she look gorgeous in these W shots? Very modelesque! Looking forward to the new X Men and next season of Mad Men!

January Jones Says 'Mad Men' Doesn't Pay That Well!

Uh oh, I think she's going to regret saying this!

January Jones, who plays Betty Draper on the hit show 'Mad Men' has said that she doesn't get paid that much and either do the other cast members! The show has been under large constraints this year, as producers weren't sure if the show would get the green light again. January said in an interview that the show doesn't pay that well:

"Financially, we don’t get paid very much on the show and that’s well-documented. On the other hand, when you do television you have a steady paycheck each week, so that’s nice."
Well documented? I've never heard those rumours before. I wonder is she just getting paid less and the rest are doing quite well? Although I absolutely love the show (my favourite in fact) I can't help but think January isn't the best actress. After seeing her in Liam Neelson's flick Unknown I got the impression that she can't really diversify her characters.

'Mad Men' Stalled Until 2012!!

This has seriously put a dampener on my day!

Hit show 'Mad Men' has announced that they won't be returning to our screens until "early 2012". The series about the Advertising Industry in the 1950's on Madison Avenue has been undergoing "discussions" with channel company AMC for the last few months.

According to sources, AMC, ironically enough, want more advertising in the show, including product placement. However the show's creator Matthew Weiner has refused to allow product placement. It has also been reported that AMC want Weiner to let go two of the cast members for financial reasons, another request Matthew has declined.

Today AMC has said the show is to go ahead, but it will be another while yet:

"AMC has officially authorised production of season five of Mad Men, triggering our option with Lionsgate. While we are getting a later start than in years past due to ongoing, key non-cast negotiations, Mad Men will be back for a fifth season in early 2012."

The show is so amazing by itself, I really don't believe that they need product placement or more advertising at all. Plus the cast are amazing. Let's hope they don't let anyone go.
