Rafaeli on the cover
Israeli election? Hamas? Forget about it for a second. Here’s some sexier news. Israeli supermodel Bar Rafaeli is on the cover of the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition. Rafaeli was the first Israeli to appear in SI, in 2007.
That year, she and her beau Leonardo DiCaprio made headlines on a trip to Rafaeli’s family ranch in Hod Hasharon.
For more coverage, People has an interview with Rafaeli and SI has extensive photo galleries and videos.
