Is Adrien Brody dating January Jones?

You know what I enjoy? I enjoy the fact that the British people seem to be in love with one of my favorite American shows, Mad Men. The British papers are always making Mad Men references, and the stars of Mad Men do lots of press in the UK when a new season is about to premiere. January Jones and Jon Hamm in particular have a new-found international stardom because of the show, and as such, they now have international gossips guessing about their relationships. Jon Hamm probably gets it easier – he’s been in a long-term relationship with Jennifer Westfeldt, and he plays his personal life close to the vest. January Jones, on the other hand, is single and dating. Her previous boyfriends have included Ashton Kutcher and Josh Grobin. She was also rumored to be hittin’ it with Jeremy “The Piv” Piven. And now the British tabloid The Daily Mail thinks January is boning Adrien Brody. The evidence? They were at the same party and they didn’t leave together. Scandal!

Actress January Jones is one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelorettes. But not for long if reports of a romance with Oscar winner Adrien Brody are to be believed. The pair were both seen at a Memorial Day beach party in Malibu yesterday. But if there is any romance, they appear to be keen to keep it under wraps for now.

January, who plays bored and beautiful housewife Betty Draper in hit TV show Mad Men, looked cool and casual in a tribal print sundress, trilby and sandals. While Oscar winner Adrien upped the macho quota by wearing motorbike leathers as he arrived and departed on his bike.

January, 32, who has dated Ashton Kutcher, singer Josh Groban, and Entourage actor Jeremy Piven, has never been married. While Brody, 37, ended his relationship to actress Elsa Pataky last May.

The pair were first seen enjoying a romantic night out together at New York’s Rose bar. A source told US magazine Life & Style: ‘Brody and Jones were flirting with each other. They held hands in full view of everyone.’

So their appearance at the same party in Malibu was probably less than coincidental. Other guests at the bash included Gwen Stefani’s husband Gavin Rossdale, Kate Beckinsale and Robert Downey Jr.

Brody is waiting for the release of his new film Predators. And as well as reprising her role in Mad Men, January will appear alongside Nicolas Cage in 2011’s The Hungry Rabbit Jumps.

Her bad experience of dating actors in the past hasn’t put her off. January said she owes her acting success to ex-boyfriend Kutcher – because she was determined to prove him wrong after the actor urged her to quit. The pair met and dated while Jones was working as a model and attempting to break into Hollywood.

And the Golden Globe-nominated actress claims Kutcher, who is now married to Demi Moore, advised her to give up her dream and stick to the catwalk. January told GQ magazine: ‘I should thank him. The minute you tell me I can’t do something, that’s when I’m most motivated.’

Honestly, looking at January’s dating history, I really don’t think she has the best taste in men. But I might think that because I’m so in love with seeing her act opposite Jon Hamm – I want her to find someone smart and handsome and chiseled so she can delicately act with him in well-written interiors with pregnant pauses. So, January and Adrien? Eh. They probably are dating, but I doubt it’s anything serious. Plus, she hasn’t been able to do anything about his gross-looking facial hair. Verdict: She doesn’t bring out the best in him.
