Our friends over at Yep Yep and Busted Coverage have been diligently covering the ongoing saga of the 2009 SI Swimsuit Issue cover, but as Page Six points out this morning, Leo’s girlfriend may have the inside track. And not just because the SI editors recently received complimentary Blu-Ray copies of The Departed in the mail.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriend, Bar Refaeli, just missed being on the coveted cover of last year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. But insiders said the beauty is back in the running to grace the cover this time around – as is leggy mannequin Jessica Hart – if “she can keep her mouth shut. It’s very secretive, and the magazine likes to keep people guessing. Last year, she opened her mouth about it, so they gave the cover to Marissa Miller instead.” Meanwhile, “Leo wants Bar to be on the cover – it will really piss off Gisele [Bundchen],” Leo’s ex-girlfriend and current Tom Brady squeeze.

Outside of going with a “Ladies of the WNBA” theme, we’re pretty sure SI can’t go wrong, even though Brooklyn Decker is the obvious choice. The real thing to take away from all this is that Tom Brady officially dates the “old” super model. Time for massholes everywhere to start getting squeamish about the Matt Cassel trade.
