He's the next mayor

Yesterday came word that the 19-year-old lingerie model would be on the cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit edition, and now the folks at Carl's Jr. have released a two-minute preview of Upton's new commercial for the fast-food chain (she's peddling the Southwest Patty Melt). You might recall that local ad agency 72andSunny took over the Carl's account after the previous shop, El Segundo-based David & Goliath, tried - and failed - to veer away from the chain's sex-infused commercials. 72andSunny hired the guys responsible for the earlier spots. "I'm very honored," says Upton. (via OC Register)
