Terribly Unattractive Prospect

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] This beautiful film actress was recently rumored to be dating a handsome actor who is best known for a retro role on a former television series.

Is she looking for a replacement for the man who cheated on her?

No. She knows that [Actor] cheated on his girlfriend for years. She didn’t rid herself of one handsome cheater to take up with another handsome cheater!

That, coupled with a drinking problem, makes him a terribly unattractive prospect for a relationship. They are just friends.

However, he is good for a giggle and a photo op. She’s not fool enough to pass that up!

[Optional] Do you think the two of them should date?

SOLVED!

Actress: Kate Beckinsale

Actor: Jon Hamm

Earlier this summer, actress Kate Beckinsale (Pearl Harbor) and actor Jon Hamm (Mad Men) were spotted together. They were chatting/flirting/dating/kissing/whatever, depending on which outlet you believe.

You shouldn’t believe any of them. The two did not date.

Why not?

Well, Jon Hamm’s reputation as a cheater is well known, and Kate was still licking her wounds over her own cheating husband, Len Wiseman. In fact, Blind Gossip was the FIRST to tell you that Beckinsale and Wiseman had separated (see Half Her Age).

Yes, we could get into the whole long story about Kate meeting Len while she was cheating on Michael Sheen, but we won’t. Oh, wait. We just did.

Anyway, Kate is in the middle of a divorce and does not want to date a cheater right now, so she nixed Jon from the beginning.

They would have made a pretty and age-appropriate couple, though, right?

Kate Beckinsale is actually currently dating someone else. We know who, but we’re not ready to reveal it yet.

Jon Hamm is busy dating any woman with a pulse and drinking himself towards his next rehab stint.

Let’s focus on the latter part of that statement. The fact that Hamm is drinking again is not good news. He did a 30-day stint in rehab in 2015 after his breakup with Jennifer Westfeldt, but has been seen imbibing multiple times since.

He was spotted by a photographer just a couple of days ago at a bar in LA, drinking a beer.

If his rep comes out with a statement trying to claim it wasn’t a beer, or that it was a non-alcoholic beer, you should roll your eyes really hard.

Congratulations to Buddypal (Who’s your buddy? Who’s your pal?) for being first with the correct answer!

    It’s definitely Jon Hamm. I’ve listened to him on a lot of comedy podcasts, and he seems like he’s more fun and loyal as a friend than as a boyfriend. So, I’d be down with ‘friends with occasional benefits’, but I’d avoid dating him seriously.

    Everyone’s thrown off by “beautiful actress. In no world would Jenny Slate be described as beautiful- cute at best.

    If they want to enjoy each other’s company, fine, but if she is looking for a relationship, this is a nightmare waiting to happen.

  9. mar1ey says

    Jenny Slate is the actress, John Hamm the actor. Should she date him? No…but they can be friends and do things together.

    NOPE. If she sees that much outright, why in the hell should she invite it into her life? He looks so greasy these days.

  21. TpotSquidge says

    Not sure of the actress but sounds like Wilmer Valderrama! Cheated on Demi for YEARS and heard rumours he’s got a drink problem (and started Demi off with hers)

    Actor Jon Hamm
    Should they date: if there’s chemistry and she feels he won’t break her heart.
    Clue was retro character

  28. Brunettetalk says

    Jenny slate and Jon Hamm. The only thing he looks intimate with in their photo ops is his glass of vodka. He looks looped in every picture.

  30. GretaGuesses says

    John Hamm and Jenny Slate. She used to date Chris Evans. Hamm reportedly cheated on his last girlfriend. He was in “Madmen”, a retro show.

    She should probably date him out of curiosity, at least, based upon stories I have read about, ahem, well, he’s supposedly well endowed.

  34. Max Power says

    Jon Hamm (retro role in Mad Men and regular cheating on his partner)
    Kate Beckinsale (the man who did it with her, did it to her)
    I have no opinion as to whether they should date or not. Since I’ve been reading BG, I no longer believe anything I see or hear about Hollywood is as it seems. It’s like the scales have been ripped from my eyes, and I see that all is artiface.

  35. Martini says

    I’ve been hearing about Jenny Slate and Jon Hamm…. but is Jenny a “beautiful film actress”?

  37. TruveyTaylor says

    Jenny Slate and Jon Hamm. He’s said many times he doesn’t want kids and doesn’t apear to want a relationship so, seems perfect for um, recreational entertainment, and that’s it so…why not!?

  43. january13 says

    Kate Beckinsale & John Hamm

    Optional: Sounds like no one should date him. Combination of a cheater, alcoholic & a*****e

  49. computerpurple says

    I’ll go with Johnny Deep and whom ever is his current so called girlfriend.

  51. JoshuaTree says

    Kate Beckinsale

    Jon Hamm

    No they shouldn’t, especially since it’s rumored he’s dating Jenny Slate now.

  56. Ghostcatcher says

    Jenny Slate and Jon Hamm

    she’s just broken up with Chris Evans. His retro TV role. Simular “pig”

  75. grozer says

    Charlize Theron

    John Hamm (Mad Men)

    Her cheating ex: Sean Penn

    Should they date? She’s supposed to be a real diva (while Hamm’s ex was low-key) and he seems like a boozy skirt-chaser. They wouldn’t last five minutes.

  77. leebie78 says

    Definitely Jon Hamm…recent pics with Jenny Slate, but I wouldn’t call her beautiful.

  81. with a twist says

    Kate Beckinsale
    Jon Hamm

    She should use the Hammaconda for a few fun nights and then move on to someone nicer.

    • with a twist says

      Although I also saw a weird rumor about Jenny Slate and Jon Hamm. Advice stays the same though!

  82. CzarNick says

    Kate Beckinsale

    Jon Hamm

    If he’s a cheater and she doesn’t want the same thing that just happened to her to happen again, then hell no, they can’t date!

  84. MaryQuiteContrary says

    Actress: Kate Beckinsale

    Actor: Jon Hamm

    He’s a turd of a human being. I wouldn’t wish him on anyone. Run, Kate!

  87. prinny says

    Kate Beckinsale and Jon Hamm

    He is not boyfriend material for sure but my goodness he is HAWT!!! Could be a fun non-committal fling…..

  89. nycguy15 says

    Kate Beckinsale
    Jon Hamm

    She’s used to high maintenance men (Sheen, etc.). If this is a legit thing, I actually dig these 2 together.

  92. NYCBunny says

    Kate Beckinsale and Jon Hamm are cute together. They’re both adults and if they want to have some fun, why not? She’d be foolish to take him seriously, though.

  95. TeacherKat says

    Kate Beckinsale (sp?)

    Jon Hamm

    Optional: Nope. And for exactly the reasons listed in the blind item.

  97. proud2bblonde says

    Actress: Jenny Slate

    Actor: Jon Hamm

    I like her and think she should date Jake Gyllanhaal.

    • buddypal says

      Also, if this is her, then I think it’s hilarious because didn’t SHE cheat on Michael Sheen with her now ex-husband…?

    • JenJenJen says

      I thought she did as well. Her and Sheen have a great relationship though so may be not….
