Well, if you need another example of why you should never listen to your boyfriend when it comes to your career: look at January Jones. The actress, who has risen to fame over the last couple years in her role as Mrs. Draper on the hit show Mad Men, says that when she used to date Ashton Kutcher back in the day, he actually told her to give up on acting all together.

January spoke to GQ this month and the interview (in addition to a gorgeous photo spread, ’cause she’s a pretty lady like that) goes in to detail about how she let her hater (Kutcher) be her motivator. “[He] was not supportive of my acting. He was like, I don’t think you’re going to be good at this. So – f— you! He only has nice things to say now – if anything, I should thank him. Because the minute you tell me I can’t do something, that’s when I’m most motivated.”

This is why! This is exactly why you never listen to boyfriends about career advice, people! (You hear me Miley and your deleted Twitter!?!) Only you know what’s best for you and no one knows your limitations, not even you. So screw whoever is saying you’re going to fail, let them marry Demi Moore and then you go off and be fabulous. All of you!
