Kate Upton has been revealed as the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl! It’s the second year in a row the blonde beauty has had the distinction. It actually marks Upton’s third straight appearance on the swimsuit cover, counting an inset photo in 2011, when she was named SI’s Rookie of the Year. Oh, how far our girl has come … SI took her down to Antarctica for its “Polar Bare” theme, which may have single-handedly posed a greater threat to civilization than climate change. With a body like that, Kate Upton has no regard for human life! “We can finally talk about Antarctica!!!!! Took us 2 months to thaw out,” she tweeted Friday after the much-anticipated cover was revealed to the masses. During her shoot in Antarctica , Kate reportedly had to strip down for mere minutes at a time to avoid frostbite. Who says supermodels don’t work hard? Hopefully, for those tens of millions buried by Winter Storm Nemo , this cover will provide a brief respite, even if her hotness alone can’t melt glaciers. The only other models to command the SI Swimsuit Issue cover multiple years in a row: Christie Brinkley, Elle MacPherson, Paulina Porizkova and Tyra Banks. We can’t wait for more photos from the spread to be released, and you can guarantee we’ll post them. In the meantime, enjoy, and tell us … Kate Upton 2013 Sports Illustrated cover : SO HOT Not my favorite shot of her, but not complaining Not a fan! Wish they had gone with someone else! View Poll »
Taylor Swift is single, but not yet ready to mingle on Valentine’s Day. Following her split from Harry Styles , the artist was asked this week by Ryan Seacrest just how she planned to celebrate February 14? The answer? It’s not very romantic. “I’m probably going to be with my friends or rehearsing,” Swift said, adding that the age of 23 has been fantastic so far, despite the break-up. “It’s just hands down been the best year. It’s been amazing it’s been exciting. I got to make a record that’s different than anything I’ve ever done before.” “The fact I was able to branch out and everybody is embracing it. It feels like the best year I’ve had so far, it’s been wonderful.” The next single off that album will be titled “22” and it was written with friends such as Selena Gomez and Emma Stone in mind, Taylor says. “That was kind of the marker of me being 22 is having all these friends. There are a lot of question marks in your life like where you’re going, who you’re going to meet, but the one thing you have is you have each other.” Whatever happens on February 14, Taylor, we recommend making some Valentine’s Day brownies . No way those are going to let you down.
This is actually pretty sweet. It turns out the lip-synching fiasco wasn’t the only near disaster to go on during Obama’s second inaugural event this January. Turns out Bey narrowly avoided a national crisis after a pair of pricy earrings turned up missing. Via National Enquirer reports : If you think BEYONCE’s headline-making “lip-synch” controversy was her BIG inauguration crisis, think again – here’s the secret even PRESIDENT OBAMA doesn’t know: The minute she hit her D.C. hotel, Star Singer erupted in Mad Panic when she discovered that the 80-carat designer emerald earrings she was set to wear onstage – worth a staggering $1.8 million – had suddenly disappeared! “After she and hubby JAY-Z checked into their hotel, Beyonce unpacked her bags and couldn’t find the earrings – which cost more than a luxury home,” said a friend. “She rummaged through her luggage in a panic, getting her maid – and other housekeepers – to join the search.” Jay-Z, who’d stepped out of the suite, returned to chaos as Wifey tore the place apart. Begging his babe to chill, he asked: “Did you check your purse?” Beyonce went berserk, shrieking: “You think I’m an idiot? Of course I did!” Said the friend: “Jay quietly urged her to check again, so she opened it up to show him, and… Voila!…there were the earrings! Beyonce gasped. She thought she’d checked her purse, but it turned out she’d been so stressed, she actually hadn’t!” HERE’S THE KICKER: “Beyonce then handed the maid a $500 reward for helping search – and Jay went NUTS,” said the friend. “He told Beyonce, ‘Man, I’m the one who found them! Why don’t you pay ME?’ ” Instead, hubby got a great big lip-synch (aka, kiss)! Aaawwww! This story is pure comedy… This tale does a lot for their public image in terms of likability and generosity. Does anybody actually believe it though? APImages
In Touch Weekly is continuing its relentless attack against Kris Jenner. First, the tabloid exposed her dark secrets , which supposedly include abuse against Kim Kardashian . Next, it labels Jenner a monster because she never wanted kids. Now, the magazine has allegedly gotten its hands on the psychological evaluation that was done on Kris and then-husband Robert Kardashian in 1990. As their divorce battle raged on and they fought over custody, Jenner was described in the report as “reckless,” “immature,” “manipulative” and “selfish.” Says a friend of the family, someone who is so close that he/she refuses to divulge his/her name and is happy to provide fodder for this story: “The diaries were bad enough. But this is Kris’ worst nightmare.” We doubt that. Kris’ worst nightmare would likely involve not actually being mentioned by the tabloids at all.
As Steven Soderbergh said at the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s preview screening of Side Effects on Wednesday, “There’s Movie A and there’s Movie B and there’s Movie C.” The director was making the apt point that Side Effect s could have been a heavy-handed movie about a) Big Pharma or b) insider trading, two of the film’s main motifs. But Soderbergh chose c), a much subtler and entertaining third path, and judging from the Manhattan audience’s enthusiastic reaction to the picture, his instincts did not fail him. Following the screening, Soderbergh took part in a Q&A session with cast members, Rooney Mara , Jude Law and Vinessa Shaw and Side Effects screenwriter Scott Z. Burns. When one moviegoer asked the director, “Did you ever feel like you might have missed an opportunity for a bigger conversation about Big Pharma?” Soderbergh responded: “I didn’t want to see that. What I loved about what Scott [Burns] did is that that issue was just a Trojan horse to hide a thriller inside of. I feel like, as a movie—that you stand in line and pay to see—I didn’t want to see a serious movie about Big Pharma. I really didn’t. I feel like I can read about that. It’s all over the news. It’s everywhere.” Alluding to his self-proclaimed retirement from filmmaking Soderbergh continued, “That may be a result of the fact that I’m in the twilight of my career. I honestly wanted to make something that…was connected to movies I saw when I was growing up that I thought were fun.” Burns chimed in to explain he generally starts “writing from a place where there’s something I’m upset or passionate about. So, obviously I have strong feelings about that whole issue.” But, he reasoned, “I don’t like movies that are preachy. If they are, they should be things like An Inconvenient Truth . We all wanted to make something really entertaining. The hope is that it causes a discussion about all these other issues. But we wanted to invite people to go on a ride.” Side Effects offers a lot of plot twists and turns along the way. Even Thomas Newman’s superb, eerie score elicits sensations that don’t necessarily align with the spare, elegant scenes unfolding on screen. “I feel like you should have a reason for every shot and you should have a reason for every cut,” Soderbergh told the crowd at the Walter Reade Theater before praising Burns’ script yet again. “What I loved about this piece of material is it’s an incredible opportunity to take it all down to the marrow,” he said, adding: “That doesn’t mean it has to be boring. It doesn’t mean that it can’t be stylish. It just means that, as a director, you’re supposed to have the 30,000-foot view of the movie and [to] be able to calibrate how the shots and the cutting patterns are going to affect the audience.” Soderbergh did not sound like filmmaker who was ready to fold up his director’s chair, and after demonstrating his nuanced choice of camera angles for a specific scene, Shaw, who plays Law’s wife in the film, addressed the elephant in the room. “And why are you quitting directing, based on everything you just said?” the actress said. [Insert passionate round of applause here.] “Because I don’t ever want to be in a situation where that’s the solve again,” Soderbergh said. “I can’t use that again. I used it. And that’s the last good idea I ever had.” Nell Alk is an arts and entertainment writer and reporter based in New York City.

Call it strangely eerie or a fitting send off, on the same day that former New York mayor Ed Koch died, a new documentary about him and titled simply, Koch will open in the city he lead and will be buried in. Koch, who served as NYC mayor from 1978 – 1989 over three terms, died at 2am Eastern Time from congestive heart failure, according to the New York Times. Directed by first-time filmmaker Neil Barsky, Koch offers a portrait of the combative, humorous and straight-talking mayor who also served as a Congressman before taking the city’s highest office. The film chronicles the history of NYC alongside Koch’s tenure, which began as the city faced the depths of near bankruptcy and malaise in the late ’70s. As he served in the ’80s, the city faced racial strife and the dawn of the AIDS crisis as well as homelessness and the ascendance of Wall Street wealth in the go-go ’80s. In 1987 he famously refused a permit for the New York Giants to have a ticker tape parade to celebrate their victory at Super Bowl XXI because the team had moved to the Meadowland Complex over the river in New Jersey some years prior. “If they want a parade, let them parade in front of the oil drums in Moonachie,” said Koch referring to the town near the Giants’ adopted home. Koch also left his touch on the entertainment world, even serving as judge on The People’s Court after his mayorship and even as a film critic through his we show, Mayor At the Movies , according to Deadline.com. He also appeared in dozens of films and television shows including The Muppets Take Manhattan , Sex and the City , Spin City and of course, Saturday Night Live . Zeitgeist Films will open Koch , which premiered at last October’s Hamptons International Film Festival, at the Angelika and Lincoln Plaza theaters in Manhattan this weekend. It will head to other areas of the city in the coming weeks in addition to other U.S. cities in a slow roll-out. “I spoke to him on the day of the premiere [from the hospital] and he said, ‘don’t let the applause go to your head,'” Barsky said Friday morning on local news station, New York One. “He’s the ultimate publicist for himself and the city. It’s very regrettable he couldn’t attend the premiere of what I think is an affectionate film.” Koch log line: Former Mayor Ed Koch is the quintessential New Yorker. Still ferocious, charismatic, and hilariously blunt, the now 88-year-old Koch ruled New York from 1978 to 1989—a down-and-dirty decade of grit, graffiti, near-bankruptcy and rampant crime. First-time filmmaker (and former Wall Street Journal reporter) Neil Barsky has crafted an intimate and revealing portrait of this intensely private man, his legacy as a political titan, and the town he helped transform. The tumult of his three terms included a fiercely competitive 1977 election; an infamous 1980 transit strike; the burgeoning AIDS epidemic; landmark housing renewal initiatives; and an irreparable municipal corruption scandal. Through candid interviews and rare archival footage, Koch thrillingly chronicles the personal and political toll of running the world’s most wondrous city in a time of upheaval and reinvention.
