People's Sexiest Woman of the Year Is...Kate Upton!
by Andy Neuenschwander
It's official. Everyone has to agree that Kate Upton is sexy now.
People Magazine has declared Upton to be the "Sexiest Woman of the Year" at the People Magazine Awards last night, giving the model/actress a statuette verifying that yes, she is indeed ridiculously attractive.
Upton had a few words for two very different men in her life during her acceptance speech. To her younger brother, she said, "I am so, so sorry to my 18-year-old brother. Poor David!"
However, she had a different message for her boyfriend, Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander: "You're welcome, Justin."
It's been a year of ups and downs for Upton. Her acting career took off with her largest on-screen role in a major motion picture yet as she starred in "The Other Woman" alongside Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann. On the modeling side, Upton continued to be one of the most in-demand models and even did a photoshoot in zero gravity.
However, Upton's year was soured by the unprecedented nude photo hack that occurred midway through the year, which would later be dubbed "The Fappening." Upton was one of many high-profile female celebrities, along with Jennifer Lawrence, Kirsten Dunst and others, who had her personal nude photos stolen and posted online.
Here's hoping this award ends her year on a good note.
