Bill O’Reilly Slightly Puzzled By SI Swimsuit Model Kate Upton’s ‘Dopey Dance’

Video
» 32 comments

Fox News host Bill O’Reilly took a little time on Tuesday evening to give credit to a young woman to whom credit is due — Kate Upton, the lovely lady who graces the cover of this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. And all because of a viral video featuring a “dopey” (his word — I thought it was cool) dance she performed at a basketball game! America, America, this is you.

He invited author and former model Robin Hazelwood onto the show to discuss Upton’s success, which she credits to Upton’s savvy decision to post her little dance online. That video was eventually seen by a man at the very big and famous IMG modeling agency.

Marketing expert Marian Salzman weighed in as well, noting that even instant online success is reliant, still, on having “the right stuff.” But, as O’Reilly pointed out, “there are a lot of women who are pretty as she is, and who can do the dopey dance as well as she is.”

Hazelwood notes that part of Upton’s success actually has little to do with Upton herself, but with the state of the modeling industry and the fact that it has been, as she characterized it, “in the doldrums.”

    Bill, you should have absolutely no problem understanding Ms. Upton. After all, Ms. Upton is blonde and your show is littered with dopey blondes.

      It’s just a trick to throw his lonley old timers a bone.

    Does he still do the faux outrage that they are dressed in skimpy clothes then show them over and over again? I don’t bother stopping on his show just to see whats going on when I search by it any more.

    I did enjoy seeing her fun bags though, thanks for the bone, Mediaite…

    This is such a touching story, right out of Cinderella.  

    Some charitable person gives this plain, mousie nothing of a woman a ticket to a basketball game for NO REASON; she does lap-dancy flirty moves there ON A WHIM; she posts it free on YouTube JUST FOR LAUGHS; her video INEXPLICABLY gets a kajillion hits, tho lord knows who would ever watch it; against all reason, some outside-the-box thinking type sees it &, I dunno, SOMETHING in it that says “model” … or something like that (spunk maybe; fashion model’s a career anyone can get into, just by force of will, no luck involved at all); in a kabillion-to-one shot she SOMEHOW gets picked for the vaunted SI cover; & now she might be able to afford clothing that actually fits![Seriously: can you imagine that poor woman having to swim in that? 2 strokes, the south end's headed for Brazil, the north bits for Iceland. It must have been so traumatizing for her.]

    Now, how could anyone chastise coverage of such an endearing story?

    She’s hot but for the cover of the SI swimsuit edition? She might be the most homely model I’ve ever seen. Only reason this cover is even worth talking about is because her swimsuit is way too small for her (not complaining but no one would wear a swimsuit like that). Don’t care about her bio don’t care about Bill’s perspective, just wish SI would just go all out porn instead of selling us a swimsuit edition.

    Kate Upton was a successful model before the Clippers dougie video went viral. Bill O’Reilly, as usual, doesn’t have any of his facts straight.

    My friend just met a chocolate man on Blackwhitemeet.COMit’s where for men and women looking for interracial’ship for a fabulous lifestyle
    It’s a nice place for black white sing’les, to interact with each other…no bounds or extremes in front of true love.

    Bill-o, the rumors about you must be true. A real guy wouldn’t turn this into some analytical exercise. Some things you simply enjoy. Whether they make sense or not matters not at all.

    You must be doing something wrong.

    Billyboy is criticizing success?…
    It’s anti-capitalism ,it’s anti-american.
    Bill’O is a traitor,right?

    Oh and… that chick is hot,just saying.

    Ahhh, the 8pmer breaking out the “soft-porn segment” of the evening. Whew, I was staring to think he didn’t do these anymore. All is right with the world.

    As a woman, looking at that cover, I find her breasts look like two pita breads.  Totally unreal.  Any men have comments on them?  I have never seen breasts look so “fake.”

    Dear The Rock — You have no clue nor idea what I look like, but I still think her boobs look like pita bread.  But, “any tits in a storm” to paraphrase an old cliche.
