o be more memorable than Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model Bar Refaeli you have to be pretty good.

Or really, really bad.

Turns out actor-turned-singing artist Joaquin Phoenix was the latter on Late Night With David Letterman.

SI.com's Arash Markazi has been profiling Refaeli's week since she graced the cover of the magazine. He was on hand to watch the model on Letterman and was awed to see Phoenix sleep-walking through an interview with the host. (Photo by Charles Sykes, AP)

It was so weird that Letterman jokingly said he owed an apology to Farrah Fawcett. Along with Crispin Glover of Back to the Future fame, Fawcett's interview with Letterman ranks among the strangest for the long-time host.

Bar Refaeli doesn't know Joaquin Phoenix, but in a span of a few minutes on Wednesday night, the recently "retired" actor became the model's best friend.

As Refaeli sat in her dressing room at the Ed Sullivan Theatre before making an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, she was stressing about her upcoming interview, worried about everything from her dress to the obligatory questions about her boyfriend, Leonardo DiCaprio.

While she waited for her turn as the second guest on the show, Phoenix turned in perhaps the oddest, most cringe-inducing two segments Letterman has conducted on the show since his infamous Farrah Fawcett interview nearly 12 years ago.

From Sports Illustrated

SI.com's Arash Markazi is spending the week reporting on this year's Sports Illustrated swimsuit launch. The issue hit newsstands on Feb. 10.

NEW YORK -- Bar Refaeli doesn't know Joaquin Phoenix, but in a span of a few minutes on Wednesday night, the recently "retired" actor became the model's best friend.

As Refaeli sat in her dressing room at the Ed Sullivan Theatre before making an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, she was stressing about her upcoming interview, worried about everything from her dress to the obligatory questions about her boyfriend, Leonardo DiCaprio.

While she waited for her turn as the second guest on the show, Phoenix turned in perhaps the oddest, most cringe-inducing two segments Letterman has conducted on the show since his infamous Farrah Fawcett interview nearly 12 years ago.

Phoenix, wearing a pair of dark shades and a Grizzly Adams beard, seemed dazed and confused as he answered Letterman's questions with silence or short responses, eliciting awkward laughter from the crowd and Letterman.

When Letterman asked him if he had any fun stories from the filming of his movie Two Lovers, Phoenix was silent before saying, "I'm sure something fun happened." When he was asked to set up a clip of the film, he was again silent before saying he hadn't seen the movie. Throughout the interview he would look awkwardly at the crowd and the band, asking what their problem was and what they were on as they laughed to fill in the silence. When he said he would like to come back and perform hip-hop, his new career venture, Letterman almost rolled his eyes and said, "We'll certainly keep you in the Rolodex."

The interview almost came to a head when Phoenix became upset with Letterman's jokes and Letterman suggested he go to Phoenix's home and chew gum at his house causing Phoenix to take out his gum and stick it under the desk eliciting a stare and a "calm down" from Letterman. The agitated host finally ended the painful interview by saying, "Joaquin, I wish you could have been here tonight. ... I owe an apology to Farrah Fawcett."

With an act like that to follow, Refaeli couldn't fail even when she refused to talk about her relationship with DiCaprio. When Letterman pressed her about how the two met, she said, "You can ask, but I don't have to answer." Without skipping a beat Letterman's said, "That's something we learned from our first guest."

After the interview was over, Refaeli headed to a party before boarding an airplane covered with her picture, which was revealed earlier in the day at LaGuardia Airport in New York. Before boarding a plane for Las Vegas with the 18 other SI Swimsuit models for another party, Refaeli still couldn't believe what was just happened.

"I did the Letterman show!" she said, still excited. "I'm still nervous. I can't believe it. That's big. I did good right?"

Yes Bar, certainly better than Phoenix.

Dying to replicate Bar Refaeli's Sports Illustrated cover? You're in luck.

The itty-bitty bikini and three-strand necklace shown off by the supermodel are both up for grabs in New York.

The 23-year-old's steamy cover just debuted Tuesday, but the Missoni boutique on Madison Avenue is already fielding calls from fans hoping to work the Giamaica suit like Leonardo DiCaprio's main squeeze.

Refaeli's teeny bikini, from the luxury line's spring/summer collection, retails for a cool $575 and is expected to arrive within weeks. It will only be available at that boutique and a wait list is already in progress.

The model's three strand Robindira Unsworth gold vermeil necklace, however, is currently in stock at upscale jeweler Fragments for $413, or online at Robindira.com.

If you're serious about having a Bar moment, act fast - the items are sure to go quickly.

As for attaining her enviable curves and perfect tan, well, you're on your own.

Disclaimer: You might hate Bar Refaeli after you read this.

The Israeli-born model says that to prepare for her new Sports Illustrated cover, she did nothing ... but eat.

"They tell you to eat! Cheeseburgers, ice cream, whatever — just don't lose weight. Me, I didn't even work out. I ate whatever I wanted. It was the best," Refaeli told us at a ONE Management party hosted by Scott Lipps downstairs at Macao.

But when it comes to Valentine's Day, the beauty may be eating cupcakes alone. "I don't have any specific plans," she said. "I will probably be working."

So where does that leave beau Leonardo DiCaprio? When we asked why she didn't attend his recent Peace Gala in Berlin, Refaeli sniped, "I have my schedule, and it doesn't go according to anybody else."
