Kate UptonKate Upton got everyone in the Easter mood this weekend after revealing a minute-long video titled "Kate Upton as Peter Cottontail."

The video, which features the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover girl prancing around like a naughty bunny, was part of a collaboration with LOVE magazine.

The video features eight upscale lingerie and designer brands, but we're guessing there's only two things viewers will notice after watching.

Despite our anti-Upton feelings, we felt it was our duty to break down this video for you.

While most of this year's White House Correspondents' Dinner celebrity buzz centered around tabloid stars Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan, the prettiest celebrity we saw this weekend was Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate Upton. 

We ran into Upton on Friday night at the National Journal/Funny Or Die First Amendment pre-party, where she was showing off her moves on a dance floor of her own making.

But Upton, who is also the niece of Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI), did stop dancing long enough to strike a pose for an iPhone snapshot for Business Insider.

The picture is a little dark, but here it is:

KATE UPTON: Tim Tebow Didn't Want To Ruin His Good Boy Image By Taking A Picture With Me

Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate Upton appeared on the Dan Patrick Show this morning, revealing a previously unknown nugget about Tim Tebow.

Apparently Tebow wasn't all that thrilled at the thought of being photographed with a couple of bikini models.

Here's what DP Show producer Paul Pabst tweeted:

Tim Tebow didn't want picture with Kate Upton, Chrissy Teigen

But as you may recall, Tebow did pose for a picture with the two ladies:

Tim Tebow Chrissy Teigen Kate Upton

Seeing as he was still able to preach to a crowd of 15,000 on Easter Sunday a few months later, we don't think it really hurt his image at all.

Kate Upton Is Forking Over $25K To Attend Tonight's Met Ball—Because She Wasn't Invited

kate uptonKate Upton is trading in her skimpy red bikini for a custom Michael Kors gown.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover girl is forking over $25,000 of her own modeling money to attend Monday's highly anticipated Costume Institute gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, aka the Oscars of fashion.

The event, honoring fashion greats Miuccia Prada and Elsa Schiaparelli, is put on annually by Vogue Editor-In-Chief Anna Wintour, who personally oversees every single name on the guest list.

And while most celebrities, like this year's attendees Carey Mulligan, Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lopez, Victor Cruz and Dakota Fanning, are all invited guests—the buxom Upton's name was not-so-surprisingly left off the list.

So Uptown, who can last be seen dancing the cat daddy in this video, decided to take matters into her own hands and just pay the hefty price to attend the swanky, press friendly gala.

According to PageSix, Uptown will wear Michael Kors to the event and sit at the designer’s table—with Wintour's blessing.

“She told Anna she would really like to attend,” a source told PageSix. “Then she offered to pay for her own ticket. Kate then whipped out her checkbook and paid the $25,000 for her seat. Anna took the check on the spot."

Perhaps Wintour was so keen on the swimsuit model's attendance because Uptown will reportedly appear in an upcoming Vogue issue—as the subject of a makeover!

Celebrity photographer Terry Richardson put up a video of Kate Upton in a bikini doing a dance called the "Cat Daddy" on his YouTube page. The video, posted just four days ago, already has over 2.5 million views.

However, on the day of its release, the video was taken down by YouTube, which claimed the video was too provocative and violated the site's guidelines on sexual content. An outcry ensued, and YouTube put the video back up the next day.

“With the massive volume of videos on our site, sometimes we make the wrong call,” said a YouTube spokesperson to The Daily Beast.

Who knows how many views Kate Upton's "Cat Daddy" video would've gotten if it stayed up. All we know is this: Kate Upton + Bikini + Dancing = Viral Video.

Sports Illustrated cover girl Kate Upton is getting her very own Topps baseball card.

Upton's card will be part of an "Allen & Ginter" collection released this summer based on the old card sets of the same name that were inserted in cigarette packs in the late 1800s. The old packs included top athletes from other sports as well. The folks at Topps seem to consider swimsuit modeling a sport.

As for what Upton will have listed under the home runs, stolen bases, or RBI categories, we have no idea.

Here's what Upton's card will look like (via CBS Sports):

This Is What Kate Upton Looks Like With Clothes On

Kate Upton

High neckline, full length gown, dark eyebrows, hair pulled back—you may not recognize this normally bikini-clad, buxom blonde swimsuit model.

Ladies and gentleman, I present to you ... Kate Upton with clothes on!

Upton, whose latest project is starring in a "Cat Daddy" dance video, traded in her famous red swimsuit for a Michael Kors gown to attend last night's Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute.

As we told you last week, Upton was not, in fact, invited to the event, but instead had to write Anna WIntour a personal check for $25,000 to attend the fashionable fete.

But what was supposed to be Upton's entrée into the fashion world fell flat and today critics are telling the model to, on second thought, keep her clothes off.

Perez Hilton wrote that Upton's gown "did everything to her body, except flatter her figure."

And in a poll conducted by the International Business Times' Fashion & Life section, 58 percent of voters said of Upton's look, "Hated it! She looks better in a bikini." Only four-percent loved it, the rest were "meh."

And given our past anti-Upton feelings we never thought we would say this, but ... we agree—take it off, Kate!

Stop the presses: Kate Upton stars in a beach shoot and she's not in a bikini.

The Sports Illustrated model is the new face of the Fall 2012 campaign for Dylan George and Abbot + Main, and she has made the shocking transformation into a hipster. Not only doesn't Upton tease a potential wardrobe malfunction, but the male model is actually showing more skin than the bikini model.

The whole clothes thing is actually a great look for Upton. Maybe she's trying to class up her look so that she doesn't have to fork over $25K to attend the Met Ball next year.

'The Many Talents Of Kate Upton' Is Her Most Gratuitous Video Yet

Kate Upton just turned 20 years old last month and she's already shaping up to become this decade's Pamela Lee Anderson—a sort of queen of all media, even though she's famous for just one thing. Or perhaps two things.

In her latest photoshoot for GQ magazine, the unanswered question is, who is exploiting who?

It was shot by Terry Richardson, who has a mixed reputation, to say the least, in fashion.

The shoot doesn't seem to be about anything except Upton's clothes falling off. It makes fun of that fact by showcasing her "talents," such as dancing, hula-hooping and riding rollercoasters.

By insisting she's not a one-trick pony, Richardson underlines the fact that she kinda is. (At least Anderson could act.)

And then there's you, the viewer. Kate Upton is currently the media's prime linkbait, even when she's not making news (which she isn't here).

Pretty much everyone in this chain is being used in some way or other.

Kate Upton America

In the past year, Americans have memorialized a great inventor, celebrated the success of a Congresswoman, and seen major advances in science. 

As we celebrate Independence Day, let's remember the recent moments when it felt awesome to be an American.

President Obama announced a formal end to the Iraq War.

A solemn December ceremony marked the end of the Iraq War and the last U.S. soldiers stationed there came home.



The Internet rallied together and raised $700,000 for bullied New York bus monitor Karen Klein.

Klein, who was taunted by students in a viral YouTube video, can now retire.



We all united to remember Steve Jobs and his great inventions.

Though everyone was deeply saddened by Jobs' death after a long battle with cancer, Americans celebrated the achievements of one of the greatest innovators of our time.

Supermodel Kate Upton and Tigers' pitcher Justin Verlander were reportedly "getting cozy" in Detroit this past weekend, according to CBS Detroit. 

Upton and Verlander were spotted at a local bar Thursday night "getting chummy" after reportedly going to an Aerosmith concert.

Verlander has dated Emily Yuen since college, but it is unknown if the two are still together.

We're guessing they're not since reports say Upton and Verlander were "hanging all over each other" at the bar.

Upton and Verlander met on the set of an MLB 2k12 ad.

'Thinspo' Blog Targets Kate Upton: A 'Fat, Squishy Brick'

$

Kate UptonSkinnyGossip, a "thinspo" website, has taken aim at a new target: 20-year-old swimsuit model Kate Upton.

The "thinspiration" movement walks hand-in-hand with the pro-anorexia movement, encouraging women to undertake starvation diets or to lose unhealthy amounts of weight.

Yesterday, SkinnyGossip made Upton public enemy No.1 in America's obesity epidemic.

Its anti-Upton post starts out with a bang: "Did you know that humans are 80% genetically identical to cows? Well, allow me to prove it to you…" and goes on to display 12 unflattering photos of the bikini-clad model, pointing out her every ounce of excess.

Written anonymously by a 5'7, 100-pound, 20-something "bi-coastal American" who claims to be a former editorial and print model now working in the fashion industry, the post goes on to critique Upton's body as being way too large for a swimsuit model.

"Huge thighs, NO waist, big fat floppy boobs, terrible body definition – she looks like a squishy brick. Is this what American women are “striving” for now? The lazy, lardy look? Have we really gotten so fat in this country that Kate is the best we can aim for? Sorry, but: eww!"

Upton is one of a small number of models who are hugely famous but not rail-thin.

Despite appearing on the covers of Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition and GQ, in the pages of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, on Guess billboards and YouTube dance videos, the pro-skinny website still feels Upton is "thick, vulgar, and almost pornographic."

"The poor girl is 19, but looks like a rough 30. She’s 150+ lbs, but dresses like she’s 115," writes the blogger.

Read the rest of the scathing post HERE.

This is the same site that calls out runway models for getting fat and posts a "Skinny Tip of the Day.

In the blogger's defense of him or herself, s/he writes:

As a thin person, I was also annoyed by our double-standards around weight. For example, people think nothing of telling a thin woman – to their face, in front of an entire group of people – how skinny they are and even to suggest what they should eat. But I’ve never seen the reverse happen to an overweight woman.

 Until now.
