Eonline – Though the big reveal was scheduled, as it has been in recent years, for tonight on The Late Show With David Letterman, a blogger went and leaked the supposedly top-secret cover of the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. SI has no comment—what is there to say, really—but you may as well go ahead and ogle 2012 cover girl Kate Upton

The SI leak possibly originated on Bar Stool Sports, a website devoted to Boston teams. But only after the photo of the cover, featuring Upton in a barely there string bikini, became a sensation did site founder David Portnoy realize that he may have started something.

“Wait did we just leak the Kate Upton SI cover? We’re so good we leak s–t and don’t even know,” he tweeted.

TMZ noted that a Michigan newsstand ended up with early copies of the issue, and a Twitter user whose listed website is the Michigan-based online clothing and housewares store Huzza tweeted this to Portnoy: “Wait, @stoolpresidente, did I just leak the SI Cover?”


Davey Pageviews just doing the damn thing again!   Just breaking stories left and right without even knowing I’m breaking it.    Like oh no biggie.  I’ll just post the Kate Upton SI cover.   The one that SI has been guarding with their lives.   The one that Letterman is supposed to unveil tonight.  Yawn.  Just another day another dollar.  Won’t even make a stink about it.  Meanwhile E News and TMZ are scrambling around trying to figure out what happened.   Oh no comment from Sports Illustrated you say?   Hey I have a comment.    You’ve been Davey Pageviewed!    Deal with it.

PS – I picture Letterman pounding his fist onto his desk when he saw this and yelling “Damn You Pageviews!  Damn You to Hell!”
