I love that Kate got it because i like her a lot and honestly her haters can suck it, she's hot, guys love her & she sells so more power to her ... Most of people in this thread knew all along that if it was a solo girl it would probably be Kate since she had by far the best/strongest year from their rooster, even if Nina boosted her career with Carl's Jr, it wasn't with enough time in advance for her to get over Kate

However my issue with the cover is that it looks fake as hell, like they just put her on a green screen and added the Antarctica behind her, it is better than last year's but i still think it could've been better

anyone else feel like SI waiting till Letterman is starting to be pointless? xD last two years (maybe before too? haven't followed that far back) the cover was out early. i mean i guess the publicity but nearly all media outlets cover the release in some way the next day anyway

Cover has been leaked early every year since 2008 at least, but never got leaked this early though

hmm sounds like good marketing to me since for the majority this only builds talk/hype/anticipation

For the record, Kate's 2012 cover bikini was tweeted by the crew ahead of time... I think in November of the previous year.

Longtime lurker, first time poster. Thanks for the scoop!

looks like some plumbers have stopped the leak

At the request of Time Warner Inc please do not post the leaked copy of the cover. Thank you

YAY!! i'm so happy for Kate and i love the cover!

well we were part of a privileged few while it lasted

edit: scratch that. a quick google search and it's basically everywhere and known now

well we were part of a privileged few while it lasted

Do we have any idea if Kate shot anywhere else besides Antarctica?

Like trying to plug up a leaking dam with a finger...no bueno!

Will the magazine still be scanned/posted or is it now forbidden until further notice?

Magazine will be scanned, however pictures will not be released till midnight of it's release date, however we can give hints till then.

Plan hasn't changed one bit on my end. As I've stated several times I will not release any of the photos till it's actually legal to do so.

We didn't leak the cover, and we have zero plans to leak any images.

But we can give hints like example: (There are ex number of models in the magazine, one of them is wearing a Pink Bikini, they shot in North America ect) i.e a troll.

Thank you and Pheno.

Well I suspect the whole thing will be uploaded by Saturday evening (possibly by the one who leaked the cover)

guys Jimmy Traina of SI have post the cover minutes ago , totally good quality

Holy shit the senior producer at SI.com and the creator, writer and editor of the website's popular "Hot Clicks" feature posted it? lmaooo
