News: Rashida did not date Garrett Hedlund (or Seth Meyers)

Update #2:
Rashida herself told New York magazine the rumor isn't true - and joked about the age difference. It did seem pretty unlikely, her being 8 years older and all.

NY: What is it like to know that when you do date someone, it can be a very public thing where paparazzi take your photo or it's discussed online on gossip blogs?
RJ: Honestly, for me, I try to keep really private. The outcome of that, and it's kind of funny, is that everybody I'm talked about dating is someone I'm not actually dating, so I don't really care. ...

NY: At least you've been falsely linked to handsome men. There's that.
RJ: By the way, the last fake boyfriend I had was 26. Like, cougar town!

NY: It was Garrett Hedlund, right?
RJ: Right, Garrett Hedlund, who's also my friend. I can call him and we can laugh about it, but also, I look awesome. [Laughs.]

On a related note, she also cleared up another long-standing rumor: she never dated Seth Meyers, despite what her Wikipedia entry might say. It was all based on this appearance together in 2005. [Disappointed about this one, to be honest. They look cute together!]

RJ: Like Seth Meyers has been my friend for ten years, and it's on my Wikipedia page that we dated because we went to one thing together and took a picture. I think it's funny and hilarious and I love him because he's my friend, but we never dated. So, my advice is to just be seen with people you're not dating, and stay at home with people you are dating.

-----------------------------------------------------
Update
Garrett fan A- has kindly sent this update:

"FYI he has done some radio interviews and debunked the rumor. Garrett and Rashida are not dating - they have known each other for years and were simply catching up at a NYE party like friends do. Garrett says they both just laughed and joked about the Just Jared story (like "What? Wow. But we should totally fake date now" and "Yeah, you can take me to fake dinner and a fake movie") and decided to ignore it."

Thanks very much for the info :)
-January 10
=========================

Rumors, rumors...
So she hasn't been linked to anyone in over a year; not since Jon 'The Speechwriter' Favreau (so dreamy), that one time to John Mayer (such a douchebag, and was quickly denied) and then Favreau again. Now it's to the just-turned-26 year old guy from Tron and Country Strong, Garrett Hedlund.

Not much of a sighting and seems pretty unlikely, not least because she is almost 9 years older than him, but stranger things have happened. Since Rashida is a classy chick and doesn't like to discuss her private life wait and see on this one.

Interviews: Print & video interviews for Monogamy

Lots of interviews came out over the past week while Rashida and co-star Chris Messina were promoting Monogamy.



'Monogamy' co-stars Rashida Jones and Chris Messina open up about their frank new film, love scenes with friends, and their worst audition experiences.
Singular Couple, Backstage



Jones, known for both ‘The Office’ and ‘Parks And Recreation,’ and Messina who played Julie’s hubby in the Meryl Streep film, ‘Julie and Julia,’ and had a reoccurring role in ‘Six Feet Under,’ do some of their most interesting work in this subtle almost documentary like indie film by director Dana Adam Shapiro (the Oscar-nominated ‘Murderball’). In speaking with Blackfilm.com, both actors spoke about working together on this film. ...
Monogamy: Rashida Jones & Chris Messina Interview, BlackFilm



In person, Rashida Jones reminds you of a best friend: smart, witty, friendly and grounded. In her new film, Monogamy, she plays a down-to-earth, aspiring musician; a coolest-girlfriend-in-the-world. So why does her fiancé (played by Chris Messina) want to leave her?
Rashida Jones Is "Down With Nietzsche", Elle Magazine



Jones, known for both her comic turns in The Office and Parks And Recreation, and Messina who played Julie's hubby in Julie and Julia and had a reoccurring role in Six Feet Under, do some of their most interesting work in this subtle and involving indie. I sat down with both rising talents at the Ace Hotel as part of a small intimate roundtable recently. ...
Actors Rashida Jones & Chris Messina Entangle in Monogamy, Huffington Post



Rashida Jones is best known for appealingly low-key comic turns in shows like Parks and Recreation and The Office, but in the indie film Monogamy she mines meaty drama as a woman whose fiancé (played by Chris Messina) begins to stray emotionally. First Jim left her for Pam, now this! Glimpsed briefly but pivotally in The Social Network, Jones also has several other projects coming up over the next year, including a role in The Muppets (where she plays a hard-ass network executive "who gets to manhandle Kermit") and the starry comedy My Idiot Brother. Last week, she chatted with Vulture about the famous names she's been erroneously linked to, feeding a baby lion on the cover of Vanity Fair, and her nerves about whether Parks and Recreation will get another season. ...
Rashida Jones on Monogamy, Parks and Recreation, and Dating Other Actors, New York Magazine


She stars on a hit TV series ("Parks & Recreation), was featured in an Oscar winning movie ("The Social Network"), spent weeks on end kissing Rob Lowe and gets to kick it with Kermit the Frog -- suffice it to say, Rashida Jones is having a great year. The latest jewel in her crown is "Monogamy," a dark but fascinating portrait of a couple on the verge of collapse, co-starring Chris Messina.
As a longtime fan of Rashida's (we're talking "Boston Public" days here, kids), I was excited to sit down with the actress to talk all about her turn towards the dark side only to find her more infectiously energetic than I could have anticipated.
Not only that, but I got the scoop on her role in Jason Segel's upcoming Muppets movie and found out why Ann Perkins (point) is about to enter, what Rashida calls, her empowered slut phase. ...
Rashida Jones preps for an empowered slut phase, New York Post



Rashida Jones doesn't mind going wacky.
"If it's funny, I will go to whatever place I have to go, no matter how gross and unattractive I seem," says Jones, who plays nerdy nurse Ann Perkins on NBC's increasingly popular sitcom Parks and Recreation. "The goofier and stupider you can be, the more fun it is." ...

Rashida Jones & Jon Favreau: Dating!

Parks & Recreation star Rashida Jones and her current beau, President Obama’s speechwriter Jon Favreau, were spotted in the lobby of the Charleston, Jon’s swanky apartment building in Arlington, Virginia.* [see edit]

Rashida, 33, and Jon, 28, have been dating for at least several months. Jon attended the College of the Holy Cross, graduating as valedictorian. Rashida earned degrees in religion and philosophy at Harvard University.

This Jon Favreau is not to be confused with Rashida’s I Love You Man co star Jon Favreau, who also directed Iron Man.

Season 2 of Parks & Recreation will premiere @ 8:30 PM ET/PT on Thursday, September 17 on NBC.

Posted: Wed, 15 July 2009 at 3:20 pm

Original sighting in the NY Post:

July 15, 2009 --
RASHIDA Jones, of NBC's "Parks and Recreation," with current beau Jon Favreau, President Obama's whiz kid speechwriter, in the lobby of Favreau's swanky DC apartment building, the Charleston . . .

---------------------------------------------------

*Edit: (via comments) Apparently it's The Chastleton in Dupont Circle, not The Charleston in Arlington, VA. Pretty big difference!

Quoted: Rudd vs. Krasinski

The New York Daily News caught up with Rashida at the "Twelfth Night" performance in Central Park Thursday night. They asked her who was the better kisser - Paul Rudd or John Krasinski?

.

Gatecrasher

Rashida Jones kisses - and tells. When we approached the star during the opening of “Twelfth Night” in Central Park, the actress confided she prefers the smooches of former “I Love You, Man” co-star Paul Rudd to ex-boyfriend John Krasinski. “I’d definitely have to say Paul!” she enthused. “John’s great, but I’d still say Paul.” We wonder if John’s new girlfriend, Emily Blunt, would make the same choice?

Her friend 'Entertainment Lawyer', aka Enty from Crazy Days and Nights, did a post about it yesterday. He basically defends her by dissing the Daily News and trying to explain the whole Q&A situation.

Rashida Jones Doesn't Throw John Krasinski Under A Bus
So, the NY Daily News tried to pull a fast one on Rashida Jones and get her to throw ex-boyfriend John Krasinski under a bus. Rashida declined to do so because she is all class. Wow, that does sound a little kiss-ass-ish doesn't it? Oh, well, everyone knows I love her so it shouldn't come as a surprise. The Daily News caught up with er at Shakespeare In The Park and asked her who was the better kisser, Paul Rudd as her co-star or John Krasinski in real life? I know they asked the question in hopes that she would throw John under a bus. At least I hope that is why they asked it and not because the reporter couldn't come up with anything else. It is a pretty high school type question.

Add to this the fact she is dating a guy right now and it becomes even more awkward. I haven't checked, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was there with her that night. So, right there in front of the guy you are currently dating you get asked if your ex-boyfriend is a great kisser or not. That is a class move Daily News. For the record she did say that Paul Rudd was the better kisser and that she likes John just fine it just wasn't as good as Paul.

So, I think most of you would also probably agree with Rashida, at least in the who would you rather part of the hypothetical.

News: How the Obamas Made Washington Hot!
By Karen J. Quan
Originally posted Sunday June 14, 2009 11:45 AM EDT

There's a new couple in the White House and seemingly overnight our nation's capital – a town known for filibusters, not fun – is suddenly a magnet for Hollywood starlets, reality TV shows and high-profile idealists wanting to get in on a little high-minded action. Here's a look at some of those beguiled by the Beltway:

Dating in the D.C.
After splitting from The Office nice guy John Krasinski, Parks & Recreation star Rashida Jones, 33, has been hanging with President Obama's 28-year-old speechwriter Jon Favreau. "It's not serious," a source reveals, but they are an item.

Article was x-posted at The Huffington Post: Starlets Dating Administration Members...

-----------------------------------------------
The second a link-heavy one from The Examiner

A&E: Rashida Jones and Obama speechwriter "not serious?"

Folks are trying to figure out what's really going on between Rashida Jones of NBC's "Parks & Recreation" and President Obama's 28-year-old heartthrob speechwriter Jon Favreau.

(Not this Jon Favreau, but this one.)

The two have been spending a substantial amount of time together since at least May 8, when "a tipster" for the Web site BestWeekEverTV supposedly spotted them hanging out at a bar near Georgetown and "attached at the hip all evening, until they starting making out with each other at the bar."

The next day, the actress was Favreau's date at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

The pairing comes on the heels of Jones' breakup with actor John Krasinski, who played her boyfriend during a stint on NBC's "The Office" (He's now dating "The Devil Wears Prada" actress Emily Blunt.); and Favreau's apparent split with Maxim model Ali Campoverdi.

“For Rashida, her romance with Jon couldn’t have come at a better time," said another unnamed source to the National Enquirer. "She was miserable after breaking up with John. And it really hurt for her to see him dive into a love affair with Emily soon afterward.”

About a month after their WHCD date, Politico.com's Patrick Gavin reported that Jones and Favreau attended the June 1 launch party for Richard Wolffe's Obama book "Renegade" at Cafe Atlantico.

Today (June 14), People magazine posted a "Rashideau" update on its Web site quoting still another "unnamed source" who said the two are indeed an item, but "it's not serious."

Jones is the 33-year-old daughter of music mogul Quincy Jones and actress Peggy Lipton, best known for her role as Julie Barnes on TV's "The Mod Squad" (1968-1873). She most recently starred on the big screen in "I Love You Man."

In 2009, Favreau became the second youngest person ever to become the White House Director of Speechwriting. After graduating from the College of the Holy Cross as valedictorian, he was hired to collect talk radio news clips for John Kerry's Presidential campaign in 2004. There, the Winchester, Mass. native was eventually promoted to the role of Deputy Speechwriter. In 2005, he was hired as a speechwriter for then-Sen. Barack Obama on a referral from Robert Gibbs. When Obama decided to run for President, Favreau was right there on the campaign trail, putting himself in position for his historic appointment to the White House last November.

*More Rashida/Jon from the weekend

Politico: VIDEO: D.C. toasts Wolffe's 'Renegade'
By PATRICK GAVIN | 6/2/09 3:24 PM EDT

The place to be Monday night was Cafe Atlantico, where Washingtonians of all stripes — lobbyists, journalists, politicos — toasted Richard Wolffe's new book, "Renegade," which takes readers behind the scenes of Barack Obama's run for president.

Seen: Richard Keil, Valerie Jarrett, Jon Favreau, Rashida Jones, Ezra Klein, John Rice (brother of Susan), Ashley Parker, Emily Heil, Jeff Zeleny, Ron Hutcheson, Jose Andres, Stuart Holliday. Arun Chaudhary, Ben LaBolt, Katie Johnson, Katy McCormick Lelyveld, Tommy Vietor, Melissa Winter, David Axelrod, Michele Norris, Gwen Ifill and Sam Kass.

Politico: Is Jon Favreau dating Rashida Jones? Or are they just good friends.
Patrick Gavin reports:

Seen last night at former Newsweeker turned PR man Richard Wolffe's book party for "Renegade" at Cafe Atlantico: Prez speechwriter Jon Favreau (it's his birthday today) with actress Rashida Jones.

The two have been spending a lot of time together - over WHCA weekend they seemed inseparable and even People magazine had a blurb on the two - and their budding relationship? - this week.

Last night just adds more fuel to the "they're dating" fire...

MOVIE NEWS?
*/Film is suggesting Rashida might be up for the lead in an upcoming comedy...

/Film: Jake Kasdan to Direct Bad Teacher
The Hollywood Reporter are reporting (from Hollywood, no less) that Jake Kasdan has signed on to direct Bad Teacher. The screenplay charted on the 2008 Blacklist and was penned by Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg, who also wrote the imminent Year One and are at work on the pending draft of Ghostbusters 3.

The Bad Teacher screenplay revolves around Elizabeth Halsey, a teacher with a cussin’ problem (er… no comment) who ends up in a bitter rivalry with her squeaky-clean colleague Amy Squirrel. Elizabeth is the sort of girl who wakes up at 3.40 in the afternoon, looks for breakfast in the fridge but finds only packets of ketchup, mustard and soy sauce so turns to her bong instead. I’m expecting that Rashida Jones will be front of the line for the role and that she’ll make hay with the truly hilarious bad behavior laid out on the page.

20-Nothings: An Open Letter to (that minx) Rashida Jones
...Rashish -- we have a problem sister friend --

You seem to be a little bit confused about what I like to call "the way things work up in this piece."

See you -- the bangin', bi-racial daughter of a famous black R&B musician are supposed to engage in some variation of the following: be hot mess, get knocked up by someone with tatoos in the dumbest places, disappear for a few years then come back with a KMart kids clothing line.

You are not supposed to date the intellectual savior of Obamanation. John Favreau is ours.

You get the Hollywood people. The John Krasz-on-the-Office's, the Used-to-be-Zach-Slater's. You understand them and their overwhelming vanity. They understand you and your face...

*Magazine-loving blogger 'Girl With a Satchel' on I Love You, Man fashion and Rashida's appeal...

Girl With a Satchel: Pop: Crushing on Rashida Jones
...Coincidentally, while the subject matter is bromance, I developed a girl crush on the female lead, Rashida Jones, and her cute wardrobe of cardigans, shrunken tees, yellow blouses and jeans. Oh, and the wedding frock. If I were to get married again, I'd model it on hers.

Not since Audrey Tautou in Priceless and Kate Hudson in How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days have I been quite so influenced by the fashion aesthetic of a modern film. Mind you, I'm a simple jeans-and-tee girl (with a satchel) with a few surf-label tees to my name. I own one D&G frock: couture I am not.

But it was also Rashida's wholesome look (not starving!) and sunny smile that got me thinking, "This is a girl I could hang out with. She looks like fun. Let's go shopping!". How refreshing to see a new face on the rom-com scene whose name isn't Jennifer, Jessica or Kate...

*Part of a slideshow on showbiz dads and their offspring

Rashida Jones:
She's the "Parks and Recreation" cutie who bewitched John Krasinksi on "The Office" (and in real life). Meanwhile, you can thank her pop for "Thriller" and pretty much every other Michael Jackson hit. No, it's not Tito Jackson.

Quincy Jones:
Yep, the magical combination of music maestro Quincy Jones and the supremely hot Peggy Lipton of "Twin Peaks" and "Mod Squad" fame produced the gorgeous and funny Rashida. Mostly known for acting these days, Rashida has sung on a few albums and penned a chapter of her pop's autobiography. And she probably has some crazy stories from the "Thriller" recording sessions.

Ronson is a snappy dresser and even caught the eye of designer Tommy Hilfiger, who asked Mark to model for him, alongside other celeb offspring. He may not have been allowed to keep the clothes, but he did get a phone number for Rashida Jones, daughter of producer Quincy, and the two were eventually engaged for a year.

Update: Big thanks to A for a link to the full article posted @ Cele|bitchy.

Cele|bitchy: Kate Walsh & Rashida Jones are hooking up with Obama staffers

The Enquirer article
Gorgeous actress Rashida Jones has gone from an “Office” romance to a White House love affair - with President Obama’s dashing young speechwriter!

And her new man, Jon Favreau, has made her forget all about former boyfriend and co-star John Krasinski, who quickly moved on to a relationship with “The Devil Wears Prada” star Emily Blunt after his and Rashida’s breakup, say pals.

“For Rashida, her romance with Jon couldn’t have come at a better time,” a longtime friend told the Enquirer.

“She was miserable after breaking up with John. And it really hurt for her to see him dive into a love affair with Emily soon afterward.”

The 33-year-old actress - now on the new NBC comedy “Parks and Recreation” - and Favreau, 27, had their official Beltway “coming out” as a couple at the recent White House Correspondents Dinner in D.C.

The pair was later scene cuddling in the wee hours of the morning at an intimate after-party, and they’ve also been spotted getting cozy on a couch at a trendy Georgetown-area bar.

“Rashida is just crazy about Jon, said the source. “She not only finds him handsome, but smart and witty.”

Rashida, the daughter of legendary music producer Quincy Jones, first met Jon through mutual friends at a political fundraising function, but he was dating someone else at the time, says the friend.

“So when a pal clued her in that he’d recently broken up with his girlfriend, Rashida made her move.”

Now the couple is trying to make a long-distance relationship work - he works in Washington, D.C. and she’s based in Hollywood.

But “Rashida is already making plans to spend time with him on the East Coast this summer,” added the friend.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, June 1 2009]

Rashida Jones has found love after her split from The Office co-star John Krasinski -- she's dating one of Barack Obama's speechwriters.

Jones met 27-year-old Jon Favreau -- no relation to the Iron Man director -- at a political function in Washington, D.C., and they stepped out in public as a couple for the first time at this month's White House Correspondents Dinner.

And friends say Favreau has healed her heartache after her tough break-up with Krasinski, who's now dating actress Emily Blunt.

A source tells the National Enquirer, ""For Rashida, her romance with Jon couldn't have come at a better time. She was miserable after breaking up with John. And it really hurt for her to see him dive into a love affair with Emily soon afterward.""

Best Week Ever: HOT NEW COUPLE ALERT! Rashida Jones Spotted With Hot Obama Speechwriter
By Michelle Collins

[This = their photoshop manip]

"To quote BWE.tv’s favorite movie Coming to America: “Why does she always get the good ones?”

A tipster has just informed us of a hot new celebrity power couple, seen getting close this weekend in Washington D.C.: Parks and Recreations actress Rashida Jones was spotted drinking Friday night with D.C.’s hottest bachelor of the moment, Jon Favreau. No, not the beefy actor seen in your Favreau-te movie of all-time, Rudy, but rather the studly 27-year-old Director of Speechwriting for President Barack Obama. Yes, that one. For girls who like guys that look good on paper, his Wiki page is basically pornography. Also? He’s hot.

Here’s how it went down: Rashida and Jon were hanging out in an exclusive bar in the Georgetown area (yes, D.C. does have “exclusive places”, unless you’re a WASP, as then the world is your nest.) Our tipster reports that the two were attached at the hip all evening, until they starting making out with each other at the bar. Eventually, they left with one another. We can only assume they did the inevitable… shake hands (hands = genitals.)

The next night, Rashida was spotted looking radiant* (*bc she probs had ess) at the White House Correspondents dinner, while her latest boy toy was likely busy backstage writing one liners for the POTUS. So does this mean Favreau, easily the hottest commodity the East Coast has to offer, has broken up with rumored girlfriend and Maxim model Ali Campoverdi? Well, if that is the case, then allow us to digitally shake his hand (again, genital) and congratulate him on the Upgrade. The jury is still out on whether or not he’s a better catch than J. Krasinski, though. (He probably is.)

(Please also note, the above picture is Photoshopped, but aw, they make a cute couple.)"
----------------------------------------------

The Examiner: Seen and heard at the Corro. Dinner
"Favreau's flame: Speaking of Jon Favreau, we may be seeing our next "PoliWood" power couple in Favreau and Rashida Jones, as we spotted them being more than just friends.

The speechwriter and the actress arrived together Saturday night, marking the second time this weekend the twosome showed up to an event together. That’s not enough to claim them as a couple, but after they walked the red carpet (separately) Favreau placed his hand on her backside and led her through the crowd.

Seeing that she didn’t slap him, we think they got something going on. Stay tuned."

The Washington Post: Hollywood Moves In on Washington Press Prom Parties
"...A final after-after party, at the Dupont rowhouse of political consultant Mike Feldman, filled with cute, young Hollywood people (Elizabeth Banks, Chace Crawford) and new administration folks, average age roughly 17, from the looks of them. And one last moment of that political-celebrity convergence everyone gets excited about: speechwriter Jon Favreau and actress Rashida Jones, on the back porch at 3 a.m., standing close and talking. It looked like something, maybe, not that we could ask. But, in different ways, they're about equally famous now. It could work."

Cool ladies flock to these Saturday Night Live stars ... But Seth, who dated Rashida Jones in 2005, has a slightly lower profile—which means now's your chance!


#30 - Mark Ronson
Mark's catapulted to fame as a DJ and producer for Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen and Christina Aguilera. Since his 2003 engagement to actress Rashida Jones (daughter of music producer Quincy) broke off, Mark has dated Brit model Daisy Lowe (Gavin Rossdale's daughter) and hipster drummer Tennessee Thomas of the Like (whose father, Pete, is Elvis Costello's longtime drummer). Try telling him your childhood neighbor's hairdresser is totally Frank Sinatra's nephew-in-law.

Page Six Magazine Ruins Valentine's Day with Homewrecking
Since it's Valentine's Day and everything, both Time Out: New York and Page Six Magazine are doing a top 50-150 eligible bachelors/bachelorette list so you can fantasize about boning a celebrity while you break out your Hitachi magic wand for the umpteenth time. The only problem about these guy's list? It includes a lot of not-so-single gents.

Fred Armisen is engaged to Elisabeth Moss, which Page Six notes, but then includes him anyway? Nothing is mentioned about Andy Samberg's relationship with Joanna Newsom, so the only "legitimately" single person in that pack is Seth Meyers, and if you think you're going to be his rebound from Rashida Jones, you crazy.
