Kate Upton is dating a new man every week—according to the tabloids, that is!

In an interview with British Vogue published Thursday, the 22-year-old model-actress admits, "Reading things about myself that aren't true drives me crazy!"

"I've managed to block it out," says The Other Woman star, "but my family really hasn't—so they'll read about me and then call me up saying, 'Are you alright? I saw this happened,' and mom call and say: 'Well, I saw you went to Vegas, when you could have come to the family reunion...' and I'm like, 'Mom, I swear, I'm in Europe!' It's insane!"

Kate, of course, would never fib to her family about her whereabouts. It was her mom, actually, who provided her with a key career boosting (and life enhancing) piece of advice! "My mother always taught me that smiling when you walk into a rom is the best beauty secret," she says, "so if I'm nervous when I walk in I just smile, and I think everyone warms to you quicker that way."

"Sometimes people look stern when I come on set, just because they're concentrating or getting ready for their day," she tells British Vogue, "but I'll chat and smile and finally I break them down!"

She's a charmer, that one!
