We thought we were long past our coverage of the 2010 Swimsuit Issue, but this morning cover star Brooklyn Decker alerted us, via Twitter, to the existence of the collection of "Off the Clock" photos, including the shot of Decker herself above. These black-and-white shots are apparently behind-the-scenes photos of the swimsuit beauties at their photo shoots, reading books, surfing the web, blowing bubbles, or just rolling around in bed. I don't know, they seem a little staged to us, but I guess swimsuit models really do hang around half-naked on these photo shoots. After the jump, check out tons more photos, including Lindsey Vonn taking a bubble bath.  Keep Reading »

By now, you've seen Brooklyn Decker on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, the hottest shots of Bar Refaeli, Hilary Rhoda, Jessica White, Esti Ginzburg, Daniella Sarahyba, Cintia Dicker, and Anne V, and the bodypainted soccer WAGs. Now it's time for the rookies of the 2010 Swimsuit Issue. We told you last week about the gorgeous Christine Teigen, who was so excited about her debut she couldn't stop about Tweeting about it. Teigen is joined by Dominique Piek (above), Genevieve Morton, Zoe Duchesne, Sonia Dara, and Julie Ordon. They're all beautiful girls, but is there a future SI cover model among them? What do you guys think? More shots are after the jump, and don't forget to head over to of SI.com/swimsuit for all the photos, videos, and more.  Keep Reading »

You've seen Brooklyn Decker on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue late last night, as well as the hottest shots of Bar Refaeli, Hilary Rhoda, Jessica White, Esti Ginzburg, Daniella Sarahyba, Cintia Dicker, and Anne V. Now it's time for the bodypainting, which this year employs the gorgeous canvases of four soccer WAGs: Sarah Bander, Abbey Clancy, Bethany Dempsey, and Melissa Satta, who's up above. More shots are after the jump, and don't forget to head over to of SI.com/swimsuit for all the photos, videos, and more.  Keep Reading »

We showed you the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue late last night, and now it's time to take a look inside the greatest magazine issue of the year. We've only just begun to crack the surface of SI.com/swimsuit and could probably spend the entire day going through that site, looking at photos, watching videos, and dreaming of Brooklyn Decker. What have we discovered so far?

At first glance, the 2010 edition seems to be a lot tamer than in years past. This isn't to say that the girls are any less beautiful -- they're as gorgeous as ever. But there seems to be a little less skin, a little less nipple, a little less ass, a little less provocation, a little less over the top. Last year's signature move of girls pulling down their bikini bottom strings, for example, is almost nowhere to be found. None of that means there are not amazing shots to be found. We've just started going through the main model shots (there are 45 for each girl), and are bringing you in this post some of the stalwarts: Brooklyn Decker, Bar Refaeli (above), Hilary Rhoda, Jessica White, Esti Ginzburg, Daniella Sarahyba, Cintia Dicker, and Anne V. We're only excerpt a few shots for each girl; SI has made it more difficult this year to share their shots outside of their website, which is understandable considering how much time and effort goes into making this issue each year. Point being, enjoy this small taste of the Swimsuit Issue, but then head over to SI.com to really get the full experience -- and head to the newsstand and get the real thing, just like in seventh grade!  Keep Reading »

Well, here it is, the cover of the 2010 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, starring the gorgeous Brooklyn Decker. One note: we were expecting to bring you guys wall-to-wall coverage of the issue on Tuesday; well, the smart guys over at SI have made that not exactly so easy as in years past. But have no fear, we'll bring you as many sexy shots as possible.

Anyway, after the jump, check out the photo that Brooklyn just Tweeted of her holding her own issue.  Keep Reading »

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover will be revealed tonight on "Letterman," which means that tomorrow the greatest magazine issue of the year will hit newsstands and the web. We'll be providing wall-to-wall coverage this week, but we thought we'd get you pumped up for the 2010 edition with a look back at some of our favorite shots from over the years. There will be a special emphasis on the 2009 edition, but you'll see some classic shots sprinkled in among the new fare. Each post will be themed: Earlier we shared with you our favorite topless (and sometimes bottomless) swimsuit beauties and our favorite below-the-waist shots. Up next is our favorite bodypainting shots. Melissa Keller is up top. Lots more, including Brooklyn Decker, Heidi Klum, and Marisa Miller, are after the jump.  Keep Reading »

We're going to move on from the Swimsuit Issue today, we swear, but we've still got one or two more batches of favorites to share with you. One look at Kim Cloutier, above, and you probably know where we're going with this one. Let's just say these girls are looking good from no matter what angle you're looking.  Keep Reading »

Bodypainting was revolutionary when it first sneaked into the Swimsuit Issue a few years back, and though it's lost a little of the awe factor, we're still impressed. That's Julie Henderson above. The rest of this year's selection after the jump:  Keep Reading »

Jezebel and a few others have picked up on the fact that these Swimsuit Issue girls really like showing off their bikini lines. To which we say, so what? Isn't that what a really good waxer (and Photoshopper) is for? Bar Rafaeli obliges on the cover and Brooklyn Decker (above) can't seem to keep her hands out of her bathing suit.  Keep Reading »

Up next in our look at the new Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue are the latest developments in swimsuit fashion and technology. Up above, we've got cover girl Bar Rafaeli in a net-inspired top, but after the jump you'll see that she wasn't the only one who got caught by some fisherman trolling the high seas.  Keep Reading »

We've gone through pretty much every photo in the online edition of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and will bring you some of our favorites throughout the day. As always, we recommend just going out and buying the issue, but there's plenty of more photos online, so check that out too. Above, Anne V. Much more after the jump.  Keep Reading »

Well, she didn't make an appearance on "Letterman" last night, but Bar Rafael's Swimsuit Issue cover sure did. You have our permission to hate Leonardo DiCaprio very much. We'll be bringing you our favorite shots throughout the day, but we also recommend picking up a copy at your local newsstand because er, the magazine industry is in trouble or something.

COED had a reporter in the audience at the taping for tonight's "Letterman" show, and apparently Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend Bar Rafaeli is this year's Swimsuit Issue Cover Girl. The Swimsuit 09 site goes live tonight at midnight.
