As previously reported, Kate Upton has been chosen as the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover model. Yes, you’ve likely read that sentence before. Because this is the third time Upton has been honored with this special issue’s cover, having flaunted her body for the magazine’s feature photo in 2012 and 2013 as well. Despite being named Rookie of the Year in 2011 by Sports Illustrated editors – following her first set of bikini photos within the publication’s pages – Upton wasn’t very well know five years ago. “If I got the cover, I would be really excited. It would be really amazing,” Kate said while shooting for the 2012 issue, adding at the time: “It’s always what I’ve talked about. I grew up in an American family, so it always was on the coffee table and to be that girl on the magazine on the coffee table would just be really groundbreaking for me.” The dream became a reality shortly after Upton sat down for this interview. And the following 2012 cover launched her into superstardom: A year later, it was off to Antarctica for Upton and her fellow models. “When you think you’re going for a Sports Illustrated shoot, you think beach – sometimes it can be chilly and there’s going to be wind, but when you know you’re going to Antarctica, you know you’re going to be freezing and half naked,” Kate said that year. “And I was very nervous because I grew up in Florida and I don’t do well in the snow when I’m fully dressed.” Upton was anything but fully dressed for this pictorial. Yes, she donned a winter jacket for the occasion. But she didn’t wear a top of any kind! Those enormous breasts were exposed to all the winter elements, not to mention a readership of millions. “This specific shot was on the boat,” Upton explained back then of the cover, adding: “It was the last shot of the round and the gave me coat, which, at the time, I thought was a miracle. At one point, I was sitting on the railing and then came down. “The wind was blowing and they let me put my hood up and who’ve known that would’ve been the cover?” After being featured on a pair of covers, word spread this year that Upton would not pose for SI at all unless she was given yet another cover. We can’t confirm if that diva-like demand actually went down. All we can say for certain is that Upton is, indeed, covering the Swimsuit Edition once again. And we don’t think any guy out there is complaining. So there you have it. Now you’ve ogle Kate Upton bikini photos from 2012, 2013 and 2017.

So at this point, it's very single day that Donald Trump, his administration, and/or his family do something awful, right? He's only been president for a few weeks now, but it feels like a few eternities, at least. For the latest act of absurdity, Ivanka Trump has shared a picture of herself sitting at the desk in the Oval Office while her father and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stand beside her. “A great discussion with two world leaders about the importance of women having a seat at the table!” — that's what she actually wrote for the caption. Ivanka isn't an elected official, and she doesn't even have an official title on Trump's staff. But yeah, sure, she's in on meetings with other leaders and can sit at that desk. Why not, right? But we don't need to tell you why that is ridiculous. Because Twitter as a whole came together to break it down for us all. 1. The Offending Photo Try not to roll your eyes too hard, we’ve still got a lot of stuff to get through and you need to be here for it. 2. The Cold, Hard Truth I mean, this person’s not wrong. 3. #FactsOnly For real though, why was she even there? 4. Stay Home, Ivanka Doesn’t she have a job? A life? Literally anything else to do? 5. Solid Nordstroms Burn Ha ha, get it, because no one wants her stupid fashion line and her father and his staff has been trying to sell it? 6. Also True Hey, when you’re right, you’re right.

Ho Sit Down: Multiple Retailers Drop Ivanka Trump Line Poor thang! Ivanka Trump is feeling the burn as her jewelry line has completely vanished from Neiman Marcus’ website just a day after Nordstrom told the New York Times they’d decided not to sell her shoes this season. “In this case, based on the brand’s performance, we’ve decided not to buy it for this season,” Nordstrom said in a statement to the New York Times . The jewelry line included a $12,000 diamond bracelet which was once promoted after the President’s daughter wore it on camera during an official event — definitely blurring the line of propriety. While Neiman Marcus hasn’t yet revealed a reason for removing the dozen or so items from Trump’s line, there are several theories — including the boycott being promoted by the group Grab Your Wallet, which operates via the #GrabYourWallet hashtag. Nordstrom bows to #grabyourwallet . No word from Donald Trump on how this impacts his edict to #dresslikeawoman https://t.co/y29HMVYzUS — Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) February 3, 2017 Grab Your Wallet encourages consumers to boycott companies owned by the Trumps and those who carry Trump-branded products as well as those who have offered financial support to Trump’s campaign. Some 32 brands are on that list including Dillard’s, Belk, Century 21, Marshall’s and TJ Maxx. “Ivanka's low sales may be evidence that the boycott is working.” https://t.co/lMJbzqifuI — Shannon Coulter (@shannoncoulter) February 3, 2017 A Trump representative told Fortune in October that total revenue for the Ivanka Trump Collection (which includes clothing, footwear and jewelry clothing) was up 37% last year, but more than half of women in a national poll said they wouldn’t consider buying clothing from the line. The numbers are even higher among women who are Democrats — 75%. Does your wallet follow your politics? Will you join in the boycott and hit the Trump’s where it really hurts? WENN Continue reading →
Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka: the crabapple apparently doesn’t fall too far from the rotted-ass tree. Just when you thought the Trump family scandals couldn’t get lewder or cruder , BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti revealed that Ivanka’s not the genteel socialite she pretends to be. It all began with a tweet. Peretti fired off, “[I’m] surprised Ivanka would be shocked by lewd language.” “I met her once and she casually said, ‘I’ve never seen a mulatto c–k, but I’d like to!” He was of course, referring to Ivanka’s statement about her father’s unearthed Billy Bush interview . At Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit, the female Trump said , “That’s not language consistent with any conversation I’ve had with him.” “Or any conversation I’ve overheard,” she added. “So it was a bit jarring for me to hear.” However, BuzzFeed’s CEO expounded on his tweet shortly after condemning the presidential candidate’s daughter for the same behavior exhibited by her father. In a meeting several years prior, Peretti claimed that he’d first met Ivanka in a bar in NYC, as she showed up with a mutual friend. “She … said she had never seen an uncircumcised c–k and then she said, ‘I’ve never seen a mulatto c–k.’ ” Peretti said that Ivanka qualified, and said, “‘[Furthermore], there’s lots of c–ks I’ve never seen,’ or something like that.” “Of course,” he continued, “just because of the use of the lewd [and racist] language.” “It was also memorable being in the environment of … New York.” “Sometimes liberal and progressive people make comments meant as jokes and not necessarily [in] earnest,” he said. “I didn’t know how to take it.” When pressed as to why he sat on the quote for so long, Peretti revealed that his personal conversations are just that – personal. However, in light of recent events, he felt compelled to bring Ivanka’s hypocrisy – a hereditary trait, apparently – to light. He said, “I have conversations with people all the time and I never share things said in private.” “I only shared this because I read the article and it felt like that experience was relevant.” A rep for Ivanka spat back, “What a little man and a disgraceful liar to smear Ivanka Trump like this.” “It shows just how far the media will go to tear down Mr. Trump’s family, and we demand an apology.” Don’t hold your breath, Trump family. Or, you know, do. Racist garbage surely stinks to high heaven; we’d understand. View Slideshow: Ivanka Trump: 15 Photos of Donald’s Gorgeous Daughter!
Ivanka Trump is blasting a report that claimed she and her siblings staged an intervention, asking father Donald Trump to back off his public bashing of President Obama. The Trump heiress took to Twitter today to call out the N.Y. Daily News: “I totally respect @realDonaldTrump’s opinions & right to articulate them, which is what I would’ve told @nydailynews if they’d call me to fact check their false story ,” she wrote. The Trump patriarch has taken a ton of heat – and kept late night talk show hosts in business – thanks to his repeated diatribes throughout the 2012 election cycle. A year and a half ago, he was beating the drum for Obama’s birth certificate to be released, insinuating repeatedly that the Commander-in-Chief was not a U.S. citizen. Obama eventually released the document, then eviscerated the Donald at the WHCA dinner. In 2012, he made a “bombshell” offer to donate $5 million to charity if Obama – who he continues to bash repeatedly and publicly – produced his passport and college records. This month, he ranted against the sham election and end of democracy as we know it. The level of vitriol was off-putting to many; according to the Daily News , his heirs decided to confront him and ask him to tone it down for the good of the Trump name. According to Ivanka, this never happened … although the way things are going for him lately, the fake sources the paper got this from may be on to something. He was our #1 Turkey of 2012 , after all … and there’s a Macy’s Dump Trump petition . [Photo: WENN.com]
