Is a highly respectable #3 on CoverAwards’ Hot Cover List 2008!

Lindsay Lohan Is Not the Only Internet Star!

With all the talk about NYMag.com crashing because of the Lindsay Lohan nude pics, SI.com is having its own traffic surge.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue has attracted over 5.4 million unique users who’ve generated 228 million page views, a 41 percent increase versus last year.   According to Mediaweek, barely-there shots of cover model Marisa Miller and other hotties are making this a record breaking year.   For the complete report, click here!  Or, for a direct link to SI’s swimsuit site, click here. 

I’m taking a break from celebrity weekly madness for a moment.   Here’s a look at the always hot Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.  Of course, Marisa Miller makes the cover.  She is a seven-year veteran.

The issue was revealed last night on a three-story billboard by David Letterman during The Late Show.  According to FOX Business, “thousands” gathered at “Cover Reveal Viewing Parties” held around the country.

(Editors Note:  For those of you that think you can hang this cover up in your office or cube because it’s Sports Illustrated and not one of those other magazines, sadly HR will tell you differently.  Here’s a link if you want to check out a sneak peek online.)
