Holy Kate Upton!

Because we speak Italian and roll with all sorts of artsy fartsy types, it’s only natural that Muse Magazine is on our daily webroll. Err, okay we’re lying … we subscribe to a “Kate Upton Nude” Google alert, which this Milan-based publication has officially set a-clanging.

So … does the Sports Illustrated/ Beach Bunny hottie really get naked for this mag? Yes … but we don’t get to see, sadly.

Anyway, we were chastised recently for not knowing that this 19-year-old, Michigan-born hottie had been romantically-linked to New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez (apparently our man in New York, D’Bricka$haw, has been falling down on the job).

So .. is Upton dating Sanchez?

“He is cute,” she told Ellen DeGeneres recently, although she added that she spent Valentine’s Day alone (by choice, we’re guessing).

Anyway, here are the Marilyn Monroe-themed shots (eat your heart out, Courtney Stodden).
