The Office’s Other Woman

Us Weekly’s December 11th issue has a short interview with Rashida Jones (“Karen”).

An excerpt:

Last year, you dated John Krasinski in real life. Awkward?

He’s one of my closest friends. He was incredibly supportive of me getting this job, and for the most part, if you go out with somebody and it doesn’t work out, there’s always a reason why you liked the person to begin with.

   I’m looking forward to the movie w/ John and Mandy Moore. They would make an adorable couple in real life. I don’t see him w/ a Britney, Paris, or Lindsey type gal.

   why does it matter if they dated and that they looked good or not together? we shouldnt scrutinize every little detail or we wont get as many candid interviews because people will start censoring themselves.

   God help John if he starts dating Paris Hilton. These bloggers will be all over him.

   My guess is it’s off. It used to be on Wikipedia under John’s bio that they were seeing each other and now it is not. Had to be removed for some reason.

   I thought it was pretty much known already too.

   This isn’t related, but I like the new people links, Tanster!

    I’m suprised people are acting like this is news. I thought everyone already knew that they had dated. There were all kinds of rumors in the beginning that John had fought for Rashida to get this role. But at the same time, I think they are currently “just friends”. It looks like they briefly dated again around the time she got the role as Karen – or right before – but I don’t think things worked out. They also dated previously and then she dated Josh Myers for a while after that before dating John again in the spring. A little sleuthing on the internet will garner some pictures and sightings of them together in the Spring and early summer and then that’s it. As to the pictures of them together on the website “more than that”, those were from May 2006, but were just uploaded in the past couple of months – so the date on the pictures is not the date they were taken. Just a little FYI for those who care.

    God – they certainly do look like a couple in those pics. It almost looks like they’re wearing matching outfits. like you said, to bad there are no dates for when they were taken.

    I can’t believe the daughter of Quincy Jones & Peggy Lipton “licked stamps” for a living at Barney’s. I thought that work was reserved for us regular folk.

    Nice mini-interview. I liked her in a show I saw on BBC America called LON-NY.

    She seems pretty cool. I was reading her bio on wikipedia and she seems to be incredibly intelligent. I’m all for Pam and Jim but I think she and John would make a cute couple. If they are still dating be glad that he’s not with a dumb Paris Hilton type. That would be a bajillion times worse.

    Well I saw something on GMMR a while ago talking about how John Krasinski has been popping up everywhere and they had this link.

    Although I guess it doesn’t say how old the pictures are, but still, it really seems like they’re dating. It don’t see why it’s a problem either. So he helped her get the role, it’s fine, i mean she’s a great actor and I agree with whoever said they can’t see anyone else playing Karen.

    Weird randomness that her character on Freaks and Geeks was named Karen also…I doubt that means anything

    despite my overwhelming jealousy of radisha and general dislike of karen, i have to say the actress is pretty cool; i really can’t see anyone else playing karen. there, i said it. *sniff, sniff* i wish i were one of john’s closest friends.

    she was Karen on freaks and geeks. the bully who wrote ‘geek’ on the locker. she was kim kellys best friend.

    and yes, its admirable that she didnt end up like Nicole and Paris since its easy to just BE a socialite and not attempt to go to college, let alone one of the top Ivy leagues.

    God – Care to share why you’re pretty sure their relationship hasn’t ended?

    I think Rashida’s pretty damn cool, all things considered. I’m not Karen’s biggest fan but that’s more because of my own purely selfish reasons than anything else. ;)
