Did you know there is such a thing as being too beautiful? While not many people suffer from this problem, there are some fortunate few that have to deal with attracting just too much attention. One such person is Sports Illustrated model Kate Upton.

In a recent interview with the American Vogue, the model admits that she is very careful about treading a certain line when it comes to her looks and that she's imposed certain “limits” on just how far she's willing to go in terms of the jobs she takes.

The buxom blond who is known for her generous curves said that “It's just part of my personality, and maybe some things I took too far, but ... I like being sexy,” before she added that she “definitely has limits.”

Let's allow her to explain, because not many of us have to deal with such issues, “There's a line between becoming, you know, a little cheap and cheesy versus being sexy. And I try to be very careful of that line.”

The 21-year-old model has become the poster girl for a new breed of girls in the fashion industry that don't conform to the size 0 rule, and that's why she's made quite a splash, being asked for many photoshoots, as well as getting a little screen time in a romantic comedy alongside Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann.

Testament to her shooting popularity is the fact that she's recently been the victim of a leaked photo scandal. It seems that people want to see her without any clothes on, that an alleged article claiming to have leaked shots of the model in the buff from a recent Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition went viral.

Upton was upset at the false story and decided to sue the people who started the rumor, in order to prevent any future possible scandals from leaking.

She has also been named as the new face of the Bobbi Brown cosmetics company, meaning that she will be appearing in its ads starting July and taking over the job of promoting the brand from Katie Holmes.

As her fame reaches new level, the model admits she's struggling to keep up and that's why she's become a keen adept of social media. Kate knows the ropes of the fashion world where exposure is everything and has been using the internet to get into contact with her fans.

However, she may not be as versed in social media as everyone makes her out to be, “People think I am an expert on social media, but I am still trying to figure it out, too. How much do you want to put yourself out there?”

From the sound of things, along with that gorgeous face and those heavenly curves, God has also endowed her with that bit of common sense every celebrity out there needs.
