If you love comic book movies and secretly believe that the world would be cooler with mutants running around (like me!) then ‘X-Men: First Class’ is the movie for you!

Though I have never picked up a comic book in my life, I was hooked when Marvel began turning to the X-Men series into movies in 2000, and could not wait for the new prequel!

In the film, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender play the young Charles Xavier and Erik, who later become infamous mortal enemies Professor X and Magneto! For the first time in the series we actually experience their friendship, and I love it! But there’s other reasons to see the flick, too!

Here are my five reasons why YOU should go see ‘X-Men: First Class’ this weekend!

1. Brand new information! Did you know that Mystique and Professor X used to be friends? This a shock to me! In the other X-Men films, they only focus on the former friendship between Professor X and Magneto, but apparently Professor X and Mystique were best friends, too! Say what?! Now I need to go back and re-watch ALL the other films to look for clues!

2. The X-Men film franchise easily balances between a serious world domination plot and funny one liners and awkward moments. If mutants really existed, there would be no power struggle –us little ol’ humans would have been enslaved or dead a while ago. So to keep it light, they add in a cheesy split screen montage of all the young mutants training to become X-Men, and cameos of Hugh Jackman and Rebecca Romijn, favorites from the previous movies.

3. There are great leads! I have to say I was very impressed with the choice of the two man characters in this film, Professor X and Magneto (James and Michael). Though they weren’t given a lot of time to develop their relationship, it still seemed very believable. It was a bit of a tear jerking moment).

4.  The special effects are amazing! In X-Men, the effects become more and more realistic. You won’t believe your eyes!

5. They re-worked historic events to fit the film’s story! The Cuban Missile Crises is used as the platform for the plot, citing it as the moment when Mutants would be revealed to the world.

X Men: First Class hits theaters today and it is a MUST see! So brush up on that comic book knowledge Hollywoodlifers because trust me this is not one you’ll want to miss!

A source very close to January, 33, tells E! Online that SNL star Jason Sudeikis, who was romantically linked to the Mad Men star for six months until they ended things in January, is NOT the father of her soon-to-be baby. So who is?!

According to movie insiders closely connected to January, who is filming X-Men: First Class, the actress was involved with someone on set — who they say is definitely the father!

Maybe that explains why Jason, 35, was so taken aback when questioned about January’s pregnancy, saying, “I’d rather –yes, but no.” He obviously didn’t know about January’s on-set fling!

Who do YOU think the father is?

January Jones is flaunting her tight and toned body in the pages of W, proving she is a far cry from her Mad Men alter-ego Betty Draper. January talks about her famed show, upcoming role in X-Men: First Class, and excitement over the possibility of marriage proposals as she promotes her new flick at Comic-Con!

“That’s perfect! Comic-Con is mostly male, and I don’t really have that audience,” January enthuses. “And, I’m really like a guy in a lot of ways.”

As for how the actress landed the role of Betty, she says: “There was no Betty in the pilot when I auditioned…I read for Peggy two times—it was between me and Elizabeth Moss who eventually got the part. At the end of the scene, there was a casual mention that Don was married. Matt went home that night and wrote two scenes that featured Betty. I auditioned a couple of days later, and he made me a verbal promise that the character would grow. I took the part on faith.”

Take a look at the photos above and let us know, do you prefer January as Betty or in this sexy new spread? As for more on January, be sure to pick up the new W, which hits newsstands on April 19.
