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 [Bundchen]"

Israeli-born Bar will appear on David Letterman tonight.

    It is so pathetic that objectifying women has become a national sport fed by angry and insecure men. The article about the vindictive nature of Leonardo DiCaprio illustrates this point. If men poured as much energy into their wives, girlfriends, sisters and daughters as they do to the SI swimsuit cover they would realize how much more balanced and happy their lives would be. Or for that matter, if men poured their energy to world problems or healing sick children, again, the world would be a better place. When you guys behave as if you have never seen a female, it REVEALS SO MUCH ABOUT YOU. (and not in a good light). Sports Illustrated should be ashamed of this publication. What would each and every one of you guys think if your wives and daughters were gawking at scantilly-clad airbrushed men in absurd poses? Yes, that's right, you would think we were pretty creepy. GET THE POINT???
