In the past 2 months, January Jones has been linked to so many men (Adrien Brody, Bobby Flay, and Jason Sudeikis, natch) that we started to think that she was the new Kate Hudson.

In news that could make even Debbie Downer smile, former Saturday Night Live cast member Rachel Dratch, 44, has announced that she is pregnant with her first child and due in September.
