Kate did a super bowl commercial?! wow that's amazing. Can anyone post the video?

Michigan native and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate Upton showed up at last night's Tigers-Royals bout at Comerica Park, partying in Justin Verlander's suite and launching a Twitterstorm.

She seems to be enjoying herself quite a bit. I don't blame her; baseball games are damn good occasions to get drunk and I spent a lot of the year I was 20 years old going to Tigers games and trying to buy alcohol. Nobody who ever hooked me up was a star Detroit pitcher, though, which is where this might get a bit hairy.

Also, please take into consideration that every single one of those videos has been posted multiple times in various places and generally has anywhere from 100,000 - 600,000 more views with each consecutive post, I just didn't feel like adding those numbers together.

A few years ago, a video could be considered “viral” if it hit a million views. Now I’d like to propose a more stringent definition.

A video, I submit, is “viral” if it gets more than 5 million views in a 3-7 day period.

One caveat, however. Part of what makes a video “viral” is not just the views but the degree of discussion online and offline (media). Here we get into a “chicken and the egg” issue, since the video’s viral nature may prompt “coverage,” which inspires even more views (although less than you’d think). Most views are driven by online activity not television or print coverage.

phenobarbie thanks for the video. SO SEXAY!!! A super bowl commercial is a huge thing. And thanks for the info about her videos. She really is a sensation.

i just googled her, and WTF?

Kate Upton, who has the body most women would be envious of, has still been branded as "lardy" and "well-marbled" by a pro-anorexia website.

The 20-year-old model has become the target of pro-anorexia website SkinnyGossip following her participation in a burger commercial.

Despite shooting sexy images for Carl's Jr. a few months back, the website has suddenly decided to slam the blonde star now by calling her a "cannibal".

But before mentioning that, the site hit out at her confidence on the catwalk referring to a recent show which saw her model a variety of swimwear.

"Guess who?! Yes, it's the lovely Kate Upton, confidently lumbering up a runway like there's a buffet at the end of it," the Daily Mail quoted them as saying.

"She looks thick, vulgar, almost pornographic - and she is a solid 30lb too heavy for this outfit," it said.

The website then moved on to the burger images, which include the U.S. star laying on a car bonnet as she tucks into a tasty-looking cheeseburger.

"I thought cannibalism was illegal?!? If that's not a very different species of cow, Kate could be in legal trouble!" it said.

The negative abuse went on to describe Kate as a "squishy brick" and "piggy" before asking "Has fashion become this?" (ANI)

Exactly! Pro Ana people are hardly paragons of healthy body image.

Is it me or are we missing the new outtakes from GQ?

GQ released some additional outtakes similar to the angles from the video but they photoshopped the area around her nipples so they would become more visible.

I think they got released last Monday or Tuesday.

Actually NVM. It looks like they may just be re-released versions of the iPad Edition photos. The originals weren't tagged but the newer outtakes are tagged.

Thread cleaned, we appear to be veering way off topic here.

The mods have already said that criticism is allowed so long as it isn't hateful or seriously negative or harassing and so forth.

This is true, but there's a limit. As long as you keep it constructive and respectful, it's not a problem if you want to say your piece. However, the reality is that repeated criticisms will invariably be seen as provocation by other members. Thus, we ask you (and everyone else) to exercise decorum wherever possible and keep negativity to a minimum.

From cutie to £50million beauty: How YouTube sensation Kate Upton became most in-demand supermodel

At the age of 20 she has burst out from nowhere to earning an estimated £2million as the world's No1 bikini model - and is expected to rake in £50million

THE boys at Kate Upton's school say they never gave her a second look... They're looking now.

At the age of 20 she has burst out from nowhere to earning an estimated £2million as the world's No1 bikini model - and is expected to rake in £50million.

Kate's spectacular rise from a small town, flat-chested, geeky girl next door is a YOUTUBE phenomenon.

In record time the glamour world's new darling, with her 36DD chest, has leapt ahead of established names to become the most in-demand supermodel.

Celebrities are fighting to date her, top designers are lining up to sign her and she is being hailed as the sexiest ever US Sports Illustrated magazine cover girl.

Kate is seen as the first in a new generation of internet-spawned models.

She was ready to slog her way to the top with years of photoshoots, adverts and magazine assignments.

But she took a fame-game short cut by building up a fan base of millions through her fun YouTube dance videos.

Florida girl Kate was signed up at 16 by the Elite agency after going to an audition in 2008. She struggled initially to find work as a catalogue model.

Superstars such as Naomi Campbell, Gisele Bündchen and Heidi Klum had clawed their way up on the catwalks.

Kate's fast track to success came after she posted a video of herself at a Los Angeles Clippers basketball game doing the dougie, a dance popularised in a tune by Cali Swag District.

It became a YouTube sensation after going viral and attracting more than three million views plus winning her 170,000 Twitter followers. Another YouTube dance, this time to the Rej3ctz's song Cat Daddy, also gained massive interest.

The clip was even removed from YouTube for a few days because the site's regulators deemed it too sexual.

The buzz created gave 36-25-34 Kate huge marketing potential and she was signed to another top agency, IMG.

Modelling website publisher Wayne Sterling said: "We all know that social media now creates its own reality.

"If you become a YouTube star among teenagers you have even more recognisability than a TV star. Kate Upton is the perfect example of that."

Her agent Ivan Bart went so far as to say: "Kate is bigger than fashion. She's the Jane Mansfield of the internet."

Another industry insider said: "If she carries on like this, with endorsements and other deals, she will be worth £50million well before she hits 30."

Kate's generous curves recall 1950s film stars such as Mansfield and Marilyn Monroe rather than some of the stick-thin youngsters on today's catwalks.

Former school friends at the Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy in Melbourne, Florida, describe her as being an average B-grade student.

None of them can recall eye-catching cleavage or a sexy figure trying to peep out from her uniform of white oxford shirt and green plaid kilt. Instead they remember a flat-chested "nerdy looking" teen.

A former classmate stunned by her sudden rise to stardom said: "She definitely wasn't the prettiest girl in school.

"Kate was the bridge between the popular crowd and the losers.

"She wasn't really outgoing. She was very slim, flat chested and sort of nerdy looking.

"I'm not sure she ever had a boyfriend in school." One boy who was a pupil at the academy said: "I remember Kate being in and out of class a lot, travelling and trying to make it as a model. She was never overly confident or annoying about it.

"Then one day she just left school and never came back. It was almost like she blossomed overnight into this beautiful woman, never to be heard from again.

"Now talking to all the guys from our class back then we're all regretful that we never asked her out."

The schoolmates' memories tally with Kate's account of her meteoric success after a sudden blossoming.

In a recent US magazine interview she said: "I don't really know what the appeal is about boobs but I do know that when I was in junior high I used to be made fun of for being flat-chested.

Everyone would go, 'She's not pretty! She doesn't have boobs!'

"So I always had boob envy. And when finally I went through my growth spurt and they appeared I just loved them.

"So that's why I like boobs, because I didn't have them and then I got 'em."

That body has helped her amass a multi-million pound fortune in four years as a model - before her 21st birthday.

Kate, born in Michigan but brought up in the Sunshine State, is from a well to-do family. Her uncle Fred Upton, 59, is a long-standing Michigan congressman in the US House of Representatives.

She has four siblings and as a girl she was taken to church every day and was keen on horse riding - winning national titles at under-13 and under-14.

Standing 5ft 10ins, her breakthrough came when Elite Model Management signed her after a casting call in Miami.

The agency had discovered Cindy Crawford, Gisele and Lara Stone. Moving to Elite's New York base, Kate was soon getting noticed and raised a few eyebrows when she was spotted at a hotel with rapper Kanye West, then 33, when she was only 18.

She went on to date Mark Sanchez, 25, the quarterback for the New York Jets American football team.

In films she has made cameos in last year's Tower Heist and new release The Three Stooges.

Bizarrely, Kate's body has made her a hate figure on twisted pro-anorexia websites. And Sophia Neophitou, who casts Victoria's Secret shows, told the New York Times she thought Kate was "too obvious" looking for her.

Neophitou said: "She's like a Page 3 girl or a footballer's wife with the tooblonde hair and that kind of face that anyone with enough money can buy."

But supermodel and author Carol Alt said: "Kate's laughing all the way to the bank. I would just say, 'Keep your head up and keep moving forward.' "

No doubt that Kate is carving a nice niche of her own in the industry and I won't be surprised if 10 years down the road they will be calling others with similar uprisings as the new Kate Upton, or at least the inevitable comparisons. Good to hear Kate is proving all the naysayers wrong :yes:
