Exclusive pics of Carl Jr.'s model Charlotte McKinney

Shes always loved going all natural.

Charlotte McKinney was ditching clothes and turning heads long before becoming this years sexy Super Bowl sensation, as seen in photos obtained exclusively by the Daily News.

The never-before-seen photo shoot shows the busty blond babe in bitsy bikinis, see-through shirts and sometimes totally n**e.

The pics were taken in 2012 and 2013, when McKinney was a model for Guess.

Now the 21-year-old stunner is the Super Bowls hottest attraction thanks to her ad for the Carl Jr.s fast food chain. In the clip, she walks through a farmers market in the buff, her body cleverly concealed by fruits and veggies as shoppers stand and gawk.

It turns out shes hot for the new natural burger at Carl's Jr. thats free of hormones and antibiotics.

I love going all natural, she muses in the clip.

Nothing between me and my 100% all natural juicy grass-fed beef.

The ad already proved too hot for many to handle, with several states banning it from the airwaves. But viewers couldnt resist: Its already scored nearly 7 million views on YouTube and earned McKinney comparisons to Kate Upton, who got the same censored treatment three years ago for a risque fast food Superbowl ad.

McKinney teased on Twitter Saturday that shed be taking over the Carl's Jr. Twitter account during Sundays game and told fans to watch for some surprises.

Jimmy Fallon Sings 'We Are The Champions' With All Your Favorite Music ...

Here's a story of a man named Jimmy... and pretty much every music superstar ever.

In honor of Super Bowl XLIX, Jimmy Fallon brought in an all-star cast of musicians to help him sing an a cappella version of Queen's "We Are The Champions." In fact, there was so much star power that the only way to fit them all on screen was to go all "Brady Bunch"-style. We're talking about Carrie Underwood, Sam Smith, Ariana Grande, Blake Shelton, Usher, Meghan Trainor, One Direction and even Christina Aguilera.

Fallon also brought in Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart for a lip sync battle later in the show, but the way the night started was nothing less than Aca-mazing.

"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET on NBC.

Kenji Goto: Updates and reaction as Islamic State releases video showing ...

Jihadi John appears to be in clip

Freelance journalist Kenji Goto Jogo, 47, is seen kneeling in front of the British-accented figure known as Jihadi John before gruesome footage of his decapitated corpse is shown.

It comes less than a week after news of the beheading of another Japanese man, Haruna Yukawa. IS had demanded a 200 million US dollars (130m) ransom for the two men.

Speaking to the camera, the masked man says: "To the Japanese government: You, like your foolish allies in the Satanic coalition, have yet to understand that we, by Allah's grace, are an Islamic Caliphate with authority and power, an entire army thirsty for your blood.

"(Prime Minister of Japann Shinzo) Abe, because of your reckless decision to take part in an unwinnable war, this knife will not only slaughter Kenji, but will also carry on and cause carnage wherever your people are found. So let the nightmare for Japan begin."

Japan's deputy foreign minister, Yasuhide Nakayama, said yesterday that efforts to free Mr Goto were "in a state of deadlock".

Besides being known for his ability to sing and dance, Timberlake is also an accomplished actor having starred in several critically-acclaimed roles including Alpha Dog and The Social Network, among others.

He is quite possibly one of the favored guest hosts of all time for the NBC sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live having appeared in thirteen episodes.
