Letterman to Announce SI Swimsuit Cover Model

Last year Bar Rafaeli (left) with Santonio Holmes of the Pittsburgh Steelers attend the launch of Sports Illustrated's 2009 Swimsuit Issue. She was the cover model for 2009.

For the third year in a row, the cover of this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, along with the identity of the 2010 cover model, will be revealed on the Late Show with David Letterman.

The David Letterman show will reveal the model and the cover girl will visit the broadcast on Tuesday, Feb. 9.

Photos of Bar Refaeli, Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriend and last year’s cover girl, during the sandy shoot were supposedly leaked months ago. And there’s been a blog campaign on for Brooklyn Decker, tennis star Andy Roddick’s wife.

Entertainment Tonight reports that in addition to hitting newsstands on Feb. 10, the 2010 Sports Illustrated issue will also launch online and on your iPhone. And on Feb. 11, the cover will be celebrated at a party in Vegas.
