Kate Upton is the 2012 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover girl. Hey there, I'm Karli Bulnes. We've got the sexy footage from her photo shoot and three things you didn't know about the bikini babe in today's PopSugar Rush! "(music) I think I'm in love..." 19-year-old Kate Upton works it for the camera in a bunch of itsy bisty bikinis — even taking off her top in one sexy shot — in this behind-the-scenes video from the 2012 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue shoot. The 5-foot-10 model was selected to be this year's cover girl and her larger than life pic was unveiled last night on Letterman. "There we go and it's Kate Upton." The Florida native was one of 10 contenders who appeared on the show awaiting the big national television reveal . . . . . . but it wasn't Kate's first big foray in the public limelight. Here are three things you didn't know about Ms. Upton. 3. She's Been in SI Before She's been in Sports Illustrated before — last year, the then 18-year-old posed in blue body paint and some strategically placed starfish for the swimsuit issue and was named Rookie of the Year. "I literally saw them in the ocean and grabbed them and were like put them on your boobs! (laughs)" 2. Kate's Got Acting Credits Number two, Kate's not just a model — she also acts. She's in 2011's Tower Heist with Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy, and will appear in The Three Stooges out later this year. 1. Her Dance Video Went Viral "Teach me how to Dougie, teach me how to Dougie" And finally, she's already achieved ultimate Internet fame. A video of her doing the "Dougie" at an LA Clippers game in 2011 went viral. The clip has more than three million hits. The 2012 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue hits newsstands today.
