“Parks and Recreation” star Rashida Jones is best known for her role as Karen Filippelli in TV’s “The Office”. She’s also known in Hollywood circles as the sister of Kidada Jones, and the daughter of actress Peggy Lipton (Mod Squad) and music producer Quincy Jones (Thriller).
Rashida, who likes taking her clothes off, appears half naked in Playboy magazine this month.
The 35-year-old Harvard educated actress sat down to answer Playboy’s 20 questions. She had a lot to say about sex in the White House and growing up with Michael Jackson.
Jones on whether she had sex with U.S. President Barack Obama’s speech writer, Jon Favreau, in the White House:
“Oh my God, no. I mean, have you been to the White House? People are sitting around watching you from every angle. They’re also, like, planning on how to keep us from economic collapse. They’re protecting our nation. They’re not having sex. Well, I mean, I know sex has occurred in the White House. Just not with me.”
On growing up with Michael Jackson:
“Michael [Jackson] basically grew up with us, so I have a million memories of him. He was definitely a little bit of an alien, for sure, and when I was young, it felt as if he was my age, not 18 years older … Once, my sister, Michael, Emmanuel Lewis and I got in a car with Super Soakers and went by a movie theater and supersoaked the hell out of people waiting in line. They had no idea they’d just been supersoaked by the King of Pop.”
On being mistaken for someone famous:
“On New Year’s Eve this guy came up to me really drunk and was like, ‘Oh my God, I love you. This is the best night of my life. I can’t believe I’m seeing you. This is amazing’. Then he goes, ‘What’s your name?’ So that didn’t work out. We’re not getting married.”
