Then he's not dating her, because any man who was dating her would be confirming the living #### out of this story about ten times a day.
I, too, have no desire to have Verlander nail Derek Jeter.
Or vice versa.
Imagine the super-powered baseball offspring they'd produce!
So you like fat chicks, eh?
Whoa, Good for Justin.
As far as models go, Kate is pretty chunky.
Yeah, I agree. I never understood how this rumor started anyways, is it just 'cause they filmed one commercial for MLB 2k12 together? That's a long, long way from dating. Justin's trying to milk this for all it's worth.
From July of this year:
The pair were spotted in Michigan last Thursday night where they attended an Aerosmith concert together.
The buxom blonde model was seen by many fans, watching the event from Verlander's private suit at the Palcace of Auburn Hills, according to the Huffington Post.
Verlander is awesome
That is so gay.
Hmm, cozy! He must like his clothes baggy.
Well hell, I'm gay. This is surprising news. The missus is going to be pissed.
Personally I prefer women that actually have a waist and that don't have square hips. But maybe that's just me.

I'm sure she's always suspected. :)
If you could be the best pitcher in baseball, make bazillions of dollars a year and have Kate Upton on your arm, but in return you had to eat Taco Bell three times every two weeks, would you do it?
Sounds like a date to me. Either Verlander is splitting hairs à la Bill Clinton on the meaning of "'s", or he's succumbed to the not-so-gradual synonymization of "dating" with "having frequent sexual intercourse." Call me old-fashioned, but I liked having a word for "having an ice-cream together now and then while thinking about whether the relationship should go further."
Actually if they went to Aerosmith together, call them old-fashioned.
Uh, what's the catch? I'd even eat at McDonald's three times every week or more. Yes.
Is she also eating Taco Bell three times every two weeks?
This is called "talking" today.
Hell, I'd do it without the pitching and bazillions... and I really hate Taco Bell.
I don't know that I have a 'type' per se, but I can dig voluptuous/curvy absolutely.
I think Kate Upton is fabulously attractive, perhaps #1 on my personal Billboard Top 100 at the moment... Other than everyone's mom, no one leaps to mind as a better choice for a single night of pure animal physicality....
Well, there's some respect lost for Verlander. I would far rather eat Taco Bell as often as he does than go to even one Aerosmith concert. (Although if the option is attending an Aerosmith concert with Kate Upton, that obviously changes things.)
That seems pretty personal. Was she Justin's pocket square or something?
I'm very much like that too :)
-- MWE
Oddly enough I'm the opposite. I'm not a huge Scrabble fan, though I enjoy a game...I don't think I've ever won one though. Diplomacy and Chess are two of my favourite games. I've never won at Diplomacy. I have won at chess, though not in the last five years or so. I have two friends who I play chess with and they are both much better than me, so I'm 0 for my last 35 or so.
I'm not sure why, but I just love me a solid helping of losing.
On what might be a related note - my "type" usually has to exude a lack of confidence and a sense of being uncomfortable in their own skin. Poor posture is also great. It's tough to say through pictures, but this Upton character doesn't seem to have "it".
Your opinion only. I am neither and, sorry, she's not my type. I have yet to understand the obsession.
Frankly, I'm a bit disgusted that he dumped his longtime girlfriend - going back to his college days - for the latest blond bimbo the second she came along. It's such a stereotypical big time athlete move.
This is why I hang out for dates outside therapists' offices... I find county jails are also good - bail bondsman get mad play of this sort, but it becomes very difficult to maintain financial stability.
And why do you think most men want to be a "big time athlete"?
So is driving a Ferrari 458 and that sounds pretty great too.
I've eaten Taco Bell thrice in two weeks many times, even without the bonus of being the best pitcher in baseball, having bazillions of dollars, or tapping Kate Upton. So I think the universe owes me the aforementioned perks big time...
Taco Bell ruins my innards every time I eat it and I spend most of the following day in the can, but for some reason I crave it anyway. I'm like a junkie but with trashy food rather than smack.
Yes, better that he marries his longtime girlfriend and then cheats on her, rather than being honest with himself that he's not into her anymore and thereby sparing her that indignity.
It seems presumptuous to assume that this is what happened.
But McCoy's comment in #45 is probably a good warning to me. I just can't eat the crap I used to without some pretty annoying consequences.
I would eat Taco Bell every day, while driving a yugo to and from the restaurant with Ann Coulter, Jay Mohr, and Mahmoud Ahmedinajad.
Except for you guys saying Kate Upton isn't hot.
Me, too. I used to play my wife in chess often. Then she beat me.
You know life is going well when you neither confirm nor deny that you're dating the swimsuit cover. 99.99% of guys would be calling every number in the book telling who they dated.
Minka's hotter than Kate
Even if I agreed, this is one area where you need to park-adjust for Detroit vs. New York
People always say this about Taco Bell and I don't get it. Have they never eaten Indian food in their lives? Do I just have the strongest stomach in the world?
And yes, on the Taco Bell question. I would have a double decker taco every day.
Fixed.
P.S.: Whoever said Minka was better is also right, but...c'mon, it's Minka, no fair.
People always say this about Taco Bell
I don't get diarrhea from Taco Bell, it just makes me feel bloated and unwell. As a teenager I lived off it but no more, alas. I try it again once every year or so and I always regret giving into the nostalgia.
I think there's more to it than that. I can't eat McDonald's, Burger King or even Subway anymore without getting the shits, but I've never had any problem with Indian food or real Mexican food.
I can name hundreds of women (famous or not) I find WAY more attractive than her. She has the hips of ten year-old girl, the kind of fake blond hair I really don't care about, and I don't like her breasts for reasons I can't explain on a public forum. All she has, to me anyway, is a really nice smile.
This.
"eating Taco Bell"
is that what the kids are calling it these days?
And yes she (K Upton) is very attractive. For me there are two scales - real person scale and model/actress scale. She is (obviously) at the top (or past) on the real person scale, on the fantasy scale she is "merely" very nice. Oddly Beyonce has never done it for me, though clearly she is gorgeous, so sometimes even for fantasy women one is left cold for no particular reason.
On the other side of the gender scale the Brad Pitt perfume commercial on during the game reminded me how sexy that guy is. I don't swing that way and even I could see why most women go crazy over him.
Beyonce is much hotter than Kate Upton.
it makes for good copy
Many people agree. And Beyonce is truly lovely, but for some reason she does nothing for me. I have no idea why and admit it is bizarre. I bet in real life I would not say no though, so I might be a fraud on the issue.
Racist.
Taco Bell isn't vile because of what it does to the digestion; it's vile because it both looks and tastes like something salvaged from a dumpster.
Beyonce is not attractive by celebrity standands at all. Period. It's OK to admit it.
You mean your first reaction wasn't incredulous laughter? That is the most pretentious commercial in the history of television.
And Beyonce certainly has sex appeal, but on looks she's nothing great. The only culture in which I struggle to find any beauty at all are Australian Aborigines, and possibly Khalahari Bushmen pygmies. Other than them, I believe I've seen at least one woman that I find extremely beautiful. There is a Somali woman who works in my building that has the most flawless face I've ever seen.
I think of her in exactly the opposite fashion.
well if we are being shallow and discussing celebrity attractiveness among females the line starts at ava gardner
This reminds me of something that happened at work yesterday. We were out for an office happy hour and Co-Worker A mentioned Co-Worker B having a daughter who also works here. Co-Worker C, a male, immediately reacted. Co-Worker D, a female, asked Co-Worker C if Co-Worker B’s daughter was attractive. Co-Worker C was effusive in his praise of Co-Worker B’s daughter’s attractiveness. Co-Worker D immediately reacted with disgust and derision towards the comments. This, despite the fact that at a previous lunch Co-Worker D spent a good 5 minutes extolling the physical virtues of one of the male co-workers in another of our offices.
What, you weren't aware of the male/female double standard?
After a very unscientific bit of 5 minute research- putting both names in Google Images search engine...
I'm calling it a draw
Upton (and Carrie Underwood) are actually a lot cuter than I find most blondes, though. I tend to think the majority of them have very plain faces. Gwyneth Paltrow and Kirsten Dunst are two of the least attractive supposedly hot celebrities I can think of.
I have never talked to a guy that thought that Gwyneth Paltrow was hot, and I doubt I ever will. She is the kind of woman that women think (or perhaps wish) that men found attractive. She's passable on a normal-person scale, and not even in measuring range for the fantasy scale. So, in other words, you are not wrong on the "least attractive" dimension, but you probably are on the "supposedly hot" dimension.
Maybe someone should set up a Hall of Merit, with a nice rigorous voting structure. Any recommendations for defining "replacement level" and "5-tool player" are welcome.
Agreed. Same with Dunst.
They're both attractive by ordinary human standards, but by celebrity standards, I agree. Absolutely nothing special there.
I think she is very attractive. Her and Amy Smart are not my typical but I would love to rail them. Mila Kunis is fantastic, as is Kazooey Descherry, Portman just doesn't do it for me though, way too skinny.
I've seen her on the subway. She is normal person pretty, which I guess is kind of her thing.
I swear that we're close to exhausting the list of female celebrities that I have seen in person, but I can confirm that neither Dunst nor Paltrow is especially attractive in real life. I have always found Dunst to be very attractive in the movies though.
Amy Smart is sexy as hell. Not overly pretty, but she does it for me. I've also always been a big Gwyneth fan, but I think that may have more to do with her voice and pattern of speech than her looks.
I thought the younger Paltrow (pre-Shakespeare) was absolutely stunning. Dunst is hit or miss, looking quite attractive in some things and not so much in others.
Kate Upton is pretty (certainly more attractive than any woman I could expect to be with, my lovely wife excepted), but I don't find her nearly as attractive as many other actress/celebrity types.
Then again, I long ago reconciled the idea that what I find physically attractive in the female species is not quite conventional. I'm OK with that.
"Very attractive" is damning with faint praise when it comes to celebrities. Though I think it's a perfectly acceptable compliment when applied,say, to co-worker B's daughter.
Still waiting for someone to call Gwyneth Paltrow "hot."
"Absolutely stunning" wasn't enough for you?
Honestly, I stopped calling women "hot" a long time ago*, so you'll have to find someone else to deliver that particular compliment.
* I don't mind if anyone else uses it, but it personally makes me feel creepy.**
** Well, creepier than I ordinarily feel.
She was hot when she did that duet with Ceelo at some awards show when she was in the tight bodysuit writhing on the piano.... but then again, a bloated, painted up Xtina looks hot next to Ceelo.
I think her face is stunningly gorgeous. He body is too thin for my ideal, but her face makes up for it.
She dated Brad Pitt back in the late 90's or early 2000's or whenever it was. I do think she was considered pretty hot back then.
But I think you might be right about her being the type of woman that other women THINK every guy wants rather than what the guys themselves actually want, though. Tall, skinny, blonde, etc. My ex wife thought Paltrow was the hottest woman in the world and never believed me when I repeatedly swore that I didn't.
Why would she get leading lady roles in blockbusters like Spiderman if not to try and appeal to the young male audience? I also remember seeing her on the cover of Maxim magazine once. I'm pretty sure she was considered hot by many, else neither of these things would've happened.
I've seen her on the subway
Deschanel walked past me into a Soho boutique last summer. I said to La Dernière, after a decent interval, "that was Zooey Deschanel!" She said, "Who's Zooey Deschanel?"
Finding film images of women attractive is an odd business, given the immortality of visual data these days. I admit to having a crush on Ida Lupino in High Sierra, but that was seventy years ago, and Lupino has been dead for twenty of them.
Having admitted that I am not immune to beautiful screen women, though (yeah, Ingrid Bergman is another), I will say one thing that I've actually found odd about my 50-something self. I am a huge, and shallow, fan of both CSI and The X-Files, and I think that Marg Helgenberger and Gillian Anderson are very attractive (as those shows portray them, enhanced by Helgenberger's character's apparent license to wear bizarrely form-fitting and skimpy clothing to her job). But as many hundreds of hours as I've devoted to watching both shows over the years, I found myself right from the start being rather uninterested in their attractiveness (or perhaps just processing it with a separate and very minor part of my self). Instead I identify with the characters – both are rationalists who are frustrated by an emotional world and by their own unpredictable emotions. I always want them to solve the case. Why am I not just sitting in front of the TV drooling at them? What does this say about how our culture has changed since The Avengers or Charlie's Angels or whatever? I am at a loss.
Agreed. Down to earth cute. Add her to my short list of blondes I'd make an exception for.
For me, it depends on my age versus theirs. Paltrow is older than me, so if I found her hot I'd have no problem saying so (well, unless a woman is TOO old). But at 33, I think I'm almost to the point where I might feel a little creepy calling an 18 year old hot.
This statement could be applied to probably 99% of the female population that isn't between the ages of 16 and 28 or so.
