Kate Upton :: Officially gone supernova in "Teach Me How to Dougie"

Supermodel Kate Upton has officially gone supernova in the early portion of 2011.
She is without a doubt the hottest model in the world, thanks in large part to her smoldering shoots in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue, as well as her steamy campaigns for lingerie brands the world over.

But, on Saturday night at the Staples Center, Upton did something that few can accomplish: she taught us how to Dougie.

As it turns out, the blonde bombshell is quite a good dancer, so when the "Teach Me How to Dougie" song came over the PA system at the Clippers-Thunder clash (she's a Clippers fan?!), kate dazzled us with her moves.

She accomplished the moves to perfection, despite the ridiculous sounding giggling of ESPN's Arash Markazi, who was recording the whole dance on his phone.

To further enhance the impressiveness of the feat, Upton did a flawless Dougie while remaining seated, causing fellow swimsuit hottie Damaris Lewis to dissolve into fits of laughter.

It would seem that every time we turn around, this Sports Illustrated fireballer is impressing us in new, sexy ways.
In this case, she manages to bring the heat in a big way, despite fighting the urge to laugh her way through the entire song, and orchestrates one of the best Dougies in recent memory.

It's clear that Kate managed to steal the swimsuit spotlight in this year's issue, and given her ability to hold our attention, while seeming to be a generally fun-loving person, she's the early favorite to land the highly coveted cover spot in 2012.
