January Jones Reveals Why She Turned Down an Unexpected Invitation from Nick Viall

Since the end of his engagement to Vanessa Grimaldi back in August, Bachelor star Nick Viall hasn’t made any major dating moves in public, recently admitting that he’s still single (and that it “kinda sucks”). But he’s been quietly making some other moves — like extending an unexpected invitation to actress January Jones, which she opened up about in a recent interview with James Corden.

“He asked me to battle him on Lip Sync Battle,” Jones revealed to the late-night host. In a previous appearance on TheLate Late Show, Jones admitted not only to being a Bachelor franchise super-fan, but also to finding Viall “pretty cute.”

Nonetheless, she turned the offer down, admitting that she wasn’t quite sure of Viall’s intentions. “Is that his way of asking me out or does he have a problem with me?” she wondered. “I don’t know what that was, but I declined because I don’t need to be humiliated.”

According to a tweet from fellow franchise alum and most recent Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay, she and former Bachelor Ben Higgins participated in a Lip Sync Battle taping in early October. The episode will likely air when season four begins in January 2018.

Even though she turned down Viall’s offer, Jones admitted to still having complex feelings about him. “You don’t know if you like him or if he’s a scumbag, and I think that’s why I’m attracted to him, maybe?” she said. “He’s cute — normal. I’m so mixed.” We’re not ready to rule these two out just yet!

Watch Jones’ full interview below.

Cruel Intentions (you know, the 1999 classic starring Reese Witherspoon, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Selma Blair) is turning 25 this year, and Prime Video is releasing a brand new TV show inspired by the movie. And the series has a fresh twist that will keep even the most dedicated Cruel Intentions fan on their toes. Here's everything you need to know about the show!

  • The Cruel Intentions TV show, inspired by the 1999 film, is coming to Prime Video.

    Where can I watch Cruel Intentions TV show?

    Cruel Intentions Release Date

    All eight episodes of Cruel Intentions drop on Prime Video November 21, 2024. That means you can watch them all in one sitting (and then watch them again...and again) or you can spread them out over Thanksgiving week. Is there anything better than watching a new TV show with a cranberry cocktail? I think not.

    Did they remake Cruel Intentions?

    Jasper Savage/Prime Video

    Cruel Intentions Plot

    Yes, the Cruel Intentions TV show is a remake of the 1999 movie! This new adaptation takes place at a prestigious college in Washington, D.C.

    Out of all the celebrity breakups I wasn't expecting, Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes definitely tops the list. They were clearly very close, and Shawn even admitted that all of his songs are about Camila, even the ones he released before they dated! (Okay, cute). The couple split at the end of 2021, but after a very buzzy summer following rumors that Sabrina Carpenter's Short 'n Sweet references their love triangle, Shawn Mendes revealed Camila is still one of his closest friends.

    • Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes dated from 2019-2021, then reportedly reconnected in 2023.
    • Shawn recently opened up about how Camila is "one of my closest best friends."
    • He also reveals she's still the first person he would call in an emergency.

    What does Shawn Mendes say about Camila Cabello?

    Roy Rochlin/Getty Images for MTV

    In a new interview with The New York Times, Shawn Mendes reveals just how much Camila Cabello means to him, and that it “bugs” him that the internet thinks they're “against each other in a weird way.”

    "[She's] one of my closest best friends...I have nerves just even speaking about it, just what people would say," he reveals. “But honestly, if something was to happen in my family and if something was to happen to me, she’d probably be the first person I call, to this day...Our relationship is teaching me what love means, in a big way.”

    The interview comes after Shawn Mendes spoke on his sexuality (something that, for some reason, has been a topic of conversation on the internet for years), and after the duo was in the spotlight following the release of Sabrina Carpenter's Short 'n Sweet, which seems to reference a love triangle between the three of them. Fans analyzed lyrics like "Oh I leave quite an impression" in "Taste" after Camila Cabello dyed her hair blonde, and "Your car drove itself from L.A. to her thighs" in "Coincidence" when Camila teased a lyric from "June Gloom" that says "If she's so amazing, why are you on this side of town?"

    Have Shawn Mendes and Camila broken up?

    Kevin Winter/Getty Images for dcp

    This isn't the first time the pair has broken the internet, and one of my favorite moments was when they performed "Señorita" at the AMAs in 2019. The chemistry! The vocals! The audience reactions!

    And in November of 2021, the pair made a joint statement (which was posted to their individual Instagram stories) announcing their breakup.

    "Hey guys, we’ve decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for one another as humans is stronger than ever,” the statement said. “We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends. We so appreciate your support from the beginning and moving forward. Camila and Shawn.”

    Are Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello together again?

    Theo Wargo/Getty Images

    Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes might have broken up, but they're definitely still in each other's lives. And there were rumors in 2023 that they had romantically reconnected. “They’ve practically moved in with each other,” an US Weekly sourcesaid last summer. “They each have their own places, but they’re spending every day they can together and traveling together.”

    The pair has been spotted together more and more frequently, at Coachella, then at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, and even in the middle of New York City. The Us Weekly source also mentions that “it feels like a new relationship.”

    However, according to a new source, the pair has broken up again — this time for good. “Shawn and Camila have a lot of history and they tested the waters again after coming back into each other’s lives," the source told The Sun. "In reality, both of them know they aren’t right for each other romantically and now they just want to move on.”

    Despite the will-they-won't-they of it all, it seems like Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello will always be in each other's lives!

    When did Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello date?

    Theo Wargo/Getty Images for Global Citizen

    After being friends for years (and that steamy VMAs performance), Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello dated from 2019-2021.

    How old are Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello?

    JC Olivera/Getty Images

    Shawn Mendes is 26 years old and was born on August 8, 1998, while 27-year-old Camila Cabello was born on March 3, 1997. There's just a one-year age gap between them!
