If you’re jealous of Mad Men’s January Jones because she gets to lock lips with hottie Jon Hamm on a regular basis, don’t be!

“It’s not like real romantic or anything,” Jones insisted to us yesterday at Zuma event space in L.A. during a luncheon celebrating her Golden Globes nomination. “If anything, we just kinda laugh it off...Those things are always odd to shoot, you know? There’s 40 people watching you. It’s very technical and choreographed.”

But even though Jones isn’t totally diggin’ those bump-and-grind scenes with her costar, she's not exactly complaining about her hunky make-believe hubby… 

“He’s a good man, he’s a wonderful friend of mine,” Jones said of her fellow Golden Globes-nominated costar. “He’s a very handsome, distinguished young man. He reminds me of an Old Hollywood, Cary Grant type of guy. He’s a good crush to have.”

Meanwhile, luncheon guest Tom Arnold raised many eyebrows with his oddball behavior. As he walked into the room, he got everyone’s attention by shouting at the top of his lungs, “OK, everyone sit down! For January!” And after Jones' longtime boyfriend, Hollywood club promoter Tommy Alastra, gave a toast, Arnold had some kudos for Jones' mother. “Let’s all toast Jan’s hot mama,” Arnold said, once again shouting at the top of his lungs.

Also at the luncheon, sponsored by Glowelle and Tocari, was a typically press-shy Jessica Alba, along with Shannon Elizabeth, Mekhi Phifer and Ali Landry.
