Bar Rafaeli Is Named 2009 Sports Illustrated Cover Model

It’s that time of year again! The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition is coming out. Notice how it always comes out in the dead of winter when the rest of the world has packed on a few pounds, but can still get away with it by layering?

Well leave it to these girls to strip down to almost nothing!

Sports Illustrated always does a good job of keeping the cover model under wraps until the last minute. And this year’s lucky lady was just announced!

Bar Refaeli will be gracing the coveted cover this year. Which we think is an awesome choice by SI.

Bar is not only known for her stunning looks and awesome body, but she managed to score one of the hottest guys in Hollywood, Leonardo DiCaprio. She’s got it pretty good right now.

Bar will appear as a guest on David Letterman tonight, where he’ll reveal the Swimsuit Edition cover with Bar on it. And girls, you know your man will be picking up a copy tomorrow, so do yourself a favor and head to the gym tonight!
