Not sure has this been mentioned already, the photographer who shot the cover is Derek Kettela

So if Kate has 11 pages and was the only model who went to the Antarctica, i'm calling BS on SI & Kate not knowing about the cover ... Looks obvious to me that they had planned all allong to put her in the cover

Sad to see Izabel is not returning, is she dumb or something? Didn't she confirm herself?

And thanks God Jess Pérez is back, i knew it was her after giving those pictures a good look plus her reply when i asked her about it made think she was in

Oh didn't know they read BZ . But didn't that article Pretty posted say it was first posted at tfs?

@phenonarbie This writer was trying to uncover your identity.

Seems like he didn't agree with the cover being posted, although he had no problem posting your photo.

I have no clue why I was credited when I credited phenobarbie in all my posts

That picture wasn't mine so I'm not sure what the issue was I simply google searched it and pulled it up.

Oh I thought it was a snapshot you took. Either way thanks for showing us.

So lame we can't post the picts yet when there are picts and etc. on other sites including SI's website <_<

Okay here's what's going on.

1. Marvs found the cover and posted it yesterday (not saying who the leaker is)
2. Pheno then googled the cover and found a better quality and larger picture and posted it.
3. PC took the picture that Pheno found and posted it on tfs
4. Forbes was like RAWR PC spoiled the cover and wrote a piece on it (yet they still posted the leaked picture on their site lol)
6. Since the cover all over the internet Pheno scanned her cover and posted it here on BZ
7. Internet exploded with the cover Pheno posted
8. 3-4 hours later one of the SI staff leaks the picture (damage control???)...  TOO SLOW
9. SI gets butt hurt and tries to cover up the leak. Fails
10. Cover is all over the place. Nothing SI can do anymore.
11. 10+ hours later Pheno wakes up, and begins to scan her magazine
12. I take 4 of the pictures I was sent and send small teasers to BZ along with some info about the locations and models. BZ is like YAY
13. SI nearly rage quits and wants to fight BZ irl.
14. Maddog is forced to take down my post due to lawsuit threats

15. Next?

get on skype ho-bag or answer your damn phone already.

Yer awake?

13. SI nearly rage quits and wants to fight BZ irl.

I guess these are the people who originally leaked the image:

Just #leaked to my buddies over at @theibang, #KateUpton looking great on the new #SportsIllustrated #Swimsuit Issue. #ronandfez #model #models #leak #spoiler #breakingnews #breaking #si

Now I really cant wait to see Letterman this coming Tuesday

I want to see all the girls giving Kate the "I HATE YOU BITCH" look, i heard from a very good source that Chrissy got mad as hell last year so the amounts of hate and hypocrysy going towards Kate this Monday will be amazing to watch

So far the two models going are Kate and Nina, still 8 more names to find out.

I am going to try to cap it all if no one else does!

^ Plz DO Pinky

Yeah Chrissy got mad because it was only Kate's second year and she got it. So know that she got it again on her 3rd probably has all the other models who started before her mad.

I.e: Notice how Anne hasn't congratulated Kate at all, while Alyssa (who started at the same time as Kate) was the first to jump in and congratulate her. I don't think models hate each other, but i understand why some of them would be jealous/mad with Kate's success in SI when they've been working with SI for years and they're still waiting for their chance

Hopefully Chrissy will never get the cover. In fact I hope she & SI will do us a favor and not have her back next year!

BTW, I think VH will cap Letterman

I like Chrissy okay, i don't hate her but i don't love her either ... I had the same feeling about Ana BB most of times

Has anybody seen the new Upton shoot? Only seen the cover leak. So far looking good, kinda been waiting on this one. heh

No one has seen anything else other than the cover SI is not allowing people to post anything related to the magazine, we have to wait until Monday at midnight
