This month we can see more of Bar Refaeli then ever before, and visualize what boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio sees everyday.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue profiles 23-year-old Refaeli next week, wearing a string bikini that has become standard attire for SI swimsuit editions.
This cover puts her face and toned body in front of millions of eyeballs, appealing to both men and women, sports fans and fashion critics. This year there are 19 different models throughout the magazine.
Born in Israeli, Refaeli said she knew that photo of her in the water on Canouan Island was the cover shot.
The magazine spends three days shooting each model, starting early in the morning because the light is best at dawn, and have about 10,000 different bathing suits and bikinis to choose from.
In addition to her supermodel career, Bar is trying her hand at movies with the dramatic "Session", written and directed by Haim Bouzaglo. It is a psychological suspense drama-thriller where a psychologist becomes obsessed with one of his patients. The project has a 2009 release date.

Trust no one. Deceive everyone. That's the motto for "Body Of Lies".
The upcoming thriller is based on Washington Post columnist David Ignatius' 2007 novel about a CIA operative, Roger Ferris (Leonardo DiCaprio), who uncovers the whereabouts of a major terrorist leader suspected of operating in Jordan.
When Ferris devises a plan to penetrate his network, he must first win the support of crafty CIA veteran Ed Hoffman (Russell Crowe), and the friendly, but perhaps suspect, leader of the Jordanian intelligence group.
Although seemingly his allies, Ferris questions how much he can really trust these men without putting the entire operation - and his life - on the line.
When asked about the urgency of tracking down the evil al-Qaeda operative known as Suleiman he says,
''We think Suleiman is coming to America next, maybe with nuclear or biological weapons,'' says Ferris' CIA superior. ''He has all the strings in his hand. And one of these days, he's going to pull them.''
The film was directed by Ridley Scott, and stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Roger Ferris, Russell Crowe as Ed Hoffman, Mark Strong as Hani, and Golshifteh Farahani as Aisha. It is rated R for strong violence including some torture, and for language throughout. The film opens October 10.
The film is certainly full of explosions, lies, bad neighborhoods, terrorists, secrets and disguises. The script is well thought out, and no detail was overlooked - even while trying to create German street scenes on U.S. street film shoots. But the filming took its toll on the actors.
Leonardo DiCaprio was left so shattered after a torture scene that he was ill for days. The actor prepared for the scene in a former Moroccan jail for months, but had no idea the intensity of the shoot would leave him drained and sick. DiCaprio told reporters,
"We did that scene in the middle of some medieval torture tomb. There was some kind of horrific dust in the air. I got sick for two or three days afterward because of the intense energy it took."
