thanks everyone!

uh yeah - stupid rumors, I agree because of that lying person who said about Bar's Dad saying Leo has to convert to Judaism to marry Bar. Bar yesterday at Hurley event - this pic with Joel and Benji Madden http://cache3.asset-cache.net/xc/85073513....F12EEA9B6A8E6AF and more! http://www.gettyimages.com/Search/Search.a...p;src=standard#

thanks Pink Couture - really high quality video. Here's avideo of Bar signing autographs at Letterman - she 's so sweet and lovely! (they keep asking her about Leo).

thanks shellers! A Youtube video talking about that stupid story about Bar's dad wanting Leo to convert to Judaism before he can marry Bar. We all now know that is not true but the clips of Bar and Leo are nice anyway - ignore those dumb comments also - bunch of stupid hateful people always making dumb and jealous remarks about Bar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPgf4fcI0lU Also, Bar on Letterman is repeated 2/26

Thanks everyone for the new pics! Bar looks gorgeous as usual..but I think she should wear something more appropriately for her age, like some color! She could wear black when she's older like 28-29. Funny comments but nice pics http://thesuperficial.com/2009/02/bar_refa...e_an_attrac.php

thanks hexal for the cute pics!

um, KerryLynn - supposedly (and you know we never know if he even said such a thing cause it came from NY daily news gossip section and it wasnt even a direct quote) he said he didnt want any PAPARAZZI photos of him and Bar together. That's different from him and Bar together being photographed by professional photographers at a special event like the Oscars. Totally different. And he doesnt want paparazzis cause of they way they act to get photos, but he's fine with posing for (and Im sure when the time comes) photographers who are invited to the red carpet. After all, he did go to the Oscars with Giz - he doesnt do something he doesnt want to do, so that was a decision on his part to take her. I'm not even sure if that's really true that he absolutely wont allow photos of him and Bar together by paps because after all , we've seen a number of them together taken by paps, I mean it's not like he's paranoid about it.

I think Leo will win one day..maybe he has to wait a long time though. Plus, I dont think Brad is that good an actor, at least I dont think he is anywheres close to Leo as far as acting ability..I mean, I cant understand why he got nominated for Benjamin Button and not Leo. ImeaN I like Benjamin Button as a movie but his acting....not special.Leo should have won for Gilbert Grape and he should have been nominated for Basketball Diaries and The Departed. Well, Leo won't walkthe Oscar red carpet if he is not nominated so he absolutely wont be there and neither will Bar. But if he is nominated next year, he might bring Bar...

thanks Shellers! Foreverdoutzen - it doesn't matter because it's already been established here that Bar doesn't care if Leo is Jewish because she is not so devout and Leo really doesn't practice religion either and her Dad said it doesn't matter either, he just want her happy. Which is cool, IMO! I mean, so many are so hypocritical about religion - like for instance Catholics who go to Church and all but then they have babies out of wedlock or date men who have babies before they are married

what magazine: haha, how about Popular Mechanics?

Rolling Stone?

SI Swimsuit 2009 reaches record web hits! Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2009 on SI.com Sets All-Time Records in Video and Traffic February 13, 2009 The 2009 digital launch of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit franchise (www.si.com/swimsuit) saw record-setting traffic and unprecedented growth in video views for the third consecutive year. A strategic emphasis on video programming resulted in more than 5.7 million video views on SI.com during the first two days of the 2009 Swimsuit launch (12:00 a.m. 2/10 – 12:00 a.m. 2/12). That number far surpasses the 3.3 million videos viewed during the entire six-week Swimsuit launch period in 2008. Additionally, SI’s YouTube Swimsuit channel, featuring the SoBe sponsored cover unveiling, had more than 1.8 million video views over the first two days of launch. By comparison, SI’s YouTube channel in 2008 had 2.1 million views for the entire month of February. The growth in video views is the result of significant developments in three key areas. First, the SI production team worked at creating more compelling video content that was deeper and richer than in past years. Second, the SI digital edit team emphasized more strategic placement of video throughout the swimsuit site, including developing a custom “banner” on the SI home page. And, third, SI had Turner Technology, which powers the backend of SI Digital, develop a custom state-of-the-art video player that produced a dynamic experience and allowed for maximum portability. (The development of the video player took several months.) The result produced record-setting traffic once again for SI.com. Unique visitors were up 5% on launch day and 6.7% on day two. All data via Omniture reporting.

Thanks Georgianna ! Thanks Chocolate Shellers, I saw TMZ video it worked for me - she's adorable twirling her hair!

thanks Vampirehorde - am really excited to see BAR on the Ellen Degeneres show - I think it will go even better than Letterman cause Ellen is so nice! Anyone who speak Hebrew can translate what Bar says about Leo towards last 2 min of clip (its from 2007) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpkDajtoILg

Nice cover!

another video interview (she kinda talks about Leo) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_lNka9RNsA...feature=related

Thank you MissLima! Yahoo interview with Bar (has link of TNT special) Bar Refaeli flaunts her curves on the cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit 2009 issue in a barely-there Missoni bikini. But the 23-year-old cover girl says her best feature is her smile… and admits her teeth weren't always picture perfect. "I had the worst smile before! It took a lot of hard work and a lot of money to get it this way," Bar joked during her Yahoo! interview. "I had braces and neckgear," she added. "I had to go to school with it. It was just horrifying!" But even with a mouth full of metal, Bar knew how to get attention. "I was the first person to have [neckgear]. I used to hang pens from it and go to the teacher. I was a goofball." Five Fun Facts About Bar Refaeli 1. Bar's measurements are a curvy 35-24-35. SI Group editor Terry McDonnell said "a skinny waif won't work" as the cover model. 2. Bar's cover shoot was on Canouan Island in the Grenadines, but her favorite place to shoot is Israel. "The light in Jerusalem and the Dead Sea is golden. It's the most beautiful light," she said of her native country. 3. Bar is the first Israeli model ever to be featured in the swimsuit issue. "It's always a huge honor to be the first to do something," she explained. "People always remember the first to do something." 4. Bar is working on her own swimsuit, which she's dubbed The Little Perfect Black Bikini. She's working with Hurley clothing line to identify a charity to receive the proceeds from the bikini's sale. 5. Bar loves breakfast. She doesn't diet, but eats everything in moderation. After getting through her ugly duckling phase (which lasted three years), Bar signed with a modeling agency in her native Israel and her career quickly took off. She has appeared in the swimsuit issue twice before, but this was her first cover. She only found out she had booked it hours before it was revealed to the public. "It came as a total surprise," she said. "I was invited to my agency and told that I had an audition. [swimsuit editor] Diane Smith was there with a bouquet of flowers, a camera crew, and the cover and I was in complete shock. My mouth was open for two minutes. I couldn't believe it." One person that did know the closely-guarded secret was Bar's mother. "My mom was in on the whole scheme but I still did call her. She knew for a week or something and she couldn't tell me. It was very difficult for her to talk to me every day and not say it." Bar hopes to parlay the cover into even more opportunities. She's already been tapped as the host of MTV's revamped "House of Style" and will star in "Session," a psychological thriller by Israeli director Haim Bouzaglo. To see more photos of Bar and the other models, head over to omg!, or pick up a copy of the magazine on newsstands now. And be sure to tune in to TNT tonight for the "2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Special." http://tv.yahoo.com/blog/raising-the-bar--127
