This post is for the boys. Yes, that's Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend, Bar Refaeli on the cover of the 2009 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. She was apparently up for the coveted spot last year, but couldn't keep her mouth shut about it, so she was replaced.

Apparently, DiCaprio, who seems to have a thing for stirring up supermodel drama, campaigned heavily to get Bar Refaeli the coveted cover to piss off his ex supermodel girlfriend, Gisele Bundchen.

Page Six previously reported, "It's very secretive, and the magazine likes to keep people guessing. Last year, she opened her mouth about it, so they gave the cover to Marissa Miller instead." Meanwhile, "Leo wants Bar to be on the cover - it will really piss off Gisele "

Israeli-born Bar will appear on David Letterman tonight.
