10 Things You Didn't Know About Kate Upton

2. Her Role In The Three Stooges Was Cut Down Due To Complaints From Catholics

Farrelly Brothers' flick The Three Stooges is worth watching for one reason and one reason only: it features Kate Upton dressed as a sexy nun in a bikini so skimpy that they probably need to come up with a new word for skimpy. And whilst there are still a lot of gorgeous shots of Miss Upton featured in the flick during one particular segment of this otherwise awful film, the "money shot," as it were, was ultimately removed in the final cut of the flick due to complaints from a large number of Catholics, who argued that it was way too offensive for a comedy film:
"Upton, it's not so much her character's name€”Sister Bernice€”as it is her attire. During one scene, the swimsuit model dons a very revealing bikini along with a large rosary around her neck."
Though Catholics didn't appreciate the design of Upton's outfit in general, the "worst" moment (which was glimpsed in the trailer) featured a dripping wet Upton emerging from a swimming pool, which was presumably the reason she was hired in the first place. So, yeah: said shot never made it into the finished film; if you want your fix, you have no choice but to resort to the trailer, unfortunately. Thanks a lot, Catholicism!
