The speculation about the father of January Jones‘ unborn child took scandalous turn today, when several sources claimed X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn is the man in question. That’s a problem because he’s married to Claudia Schiffer. Supposedly Vaughn and Schiffer “abruptly” left town around the same time Jones announced her pregnancy. Yesterday the film had a cast screening instead of a premiere, and Vaughn said he couldn’t attend because he has “severe” tonsillitis. However, he appeared fine in interviews conducted that day. Vaughn’s lawyer denies that he and Jones had an affair, and that he fathered her child. [E!]

I’m not gonna just have her come out in the last scene of the episode. That’s a big deal. We dedicated two episodes to Kurt coming out and then it went on. We want to give it some time so we’re giving it some time and we’re going to get into it next season.” [CNN]
