Today in Typecasting: Kate Upton Auditioning to Play the Other Woman

Kate Upton is apparently entering the model-slash phase of her career. The two-time Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Edition cover star is reportedly in talks to join Leslie Mann and Cameron Diaz in a romantic comedy about wives and mistresses who join forces to take revenge on a cheating dude.

Nick Cassavetes is directing the comedy, which centers on a woman (Diaz) who finds out that she is “the other woman” in an affair. She teams up with the wife (Mann) to get revenge on the cheating cad of a husband, being played by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.

Upton is another one of Coster-Waldau’s mistresses who has no idea he is married and ends up joining the other two in the revenge scheme.

Turns out Beyoncé‘s crystallized nipple shirt was a custom piece designed by the Blonds. According to Women’s Wear Daily, the garment was “inspired by Tamara de Lempicka’s paintings of the female body.”

It is “meant to give the illusion of being covered in crystallized honey,” said Phillipe Blond, who first hand-painted the bustier suit before it was “hand embroidered with approximately 30,000 Swarovski crystals that took over 600 hours to apply,” David Blond added.

I have felt this coming since my son was born and, after I became a mother, I realized I needed to prioritize my time. It’s really important I give 100% to my clients and I have to be careful to make strategic long-term decisions with my personal and business interests. I’ve reached a point in my career where I’m developing my own opportunities that are really reflective of my passions.” [SMH]
