Twitter’s a tough platform to keep up with, but luckily we were in the right place at the right time when we saw Sports Illustrated South Africa tweeted a link to their Facebook photo album of behind the scenes pics from their Swimwear 2011 shoot. We’re a little confused here in the office because the 2011 U>S. SwimSUIT issue already came out, so is this for the 2012 swimsuit issue or is there a completely different issue that is JUST swimwear? Either way, we come out winners because South African bikini models Tracy McGregor and Tayla Davis look amazing even with multiple crew members grabbin’ at them every 5 seconds. Check out the pics after the jump.

You say Cannes (Kahn), we say Cannes (can). Last week, we published a photo gallery highlighting the “goods” of fine French women. Today, we catch a glimpse of Leo DiCaprio’s former flame Bar Refaeli in a black bikini on a yacht in Cannes. If your monitor is still intact and hasn’t blown up, congratulations. Some people take breaks up poorly. Others, like Bar, flash their flesh and toothy smile all over the place in what has to be the sexiest advertisement to promote one’s availability we’ve ever seen. Check out more Bar below!

By now, you can probably tell we (and most of the world) have a very small crush on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Rookie of the Year, Kate Upton. We also have an incredible amount of pride for being one of the first sites to jump on the Upton bandwagon – we called her America’s Next Great Bikini Model and showed you her awesomeness in motion with sexy animated gifs and a video of her teaching how to Dougie. Now, we bring you her sexiest twitpics. Twitter’s like a publicist’s nightmare and super fan’s wet dream. Thank you, lil’ blue bird! See the pics after the jump!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bigger surge in popularity than Kate Upton‘s. Most know her for as the 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, “Rookie of the Year” but she’s also currently the face of Guess and has modeled for Beach Bunny swimwear and Victoria’s Secret. Uh, have you been to her official site? If you weren’t trigger happy with your click finger and actually sat through the intro video, you will not be disappointed. Last week, she taught us how to Dougie, now she’s teaching us how to sit and wait. We’re like her trick dogs over here. See the video below after the jump!

This one’s for the Gebsta. ESPN writer, Arash Markazi caught Kate Upton teaching Damaris Lewis How to Dougie at a recent Clippers game. The video showcases two of Gebs favorite things – Kate Upton and the Dougie. I have to admit together the two are pretty awesome… but anything Kate Upton does usually is.

Izabel Goulart was one of 5 rookies appearing in this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Unless you were a huge Victoria’s Secret fan, her name might not ring a bell, at least, not in the U.S. The majority of her pictorials have appeared in international mags like French and Japanese Vogue, French magazine, and Numero. In addition to being a Victoria’s Secret Angel from 2005-2008, she’s also the Diabetes Research Institute’s international ambassador, helping to raise money for free insulin provisions to diabetic children. Hot and charitable? Maybe she wouldn’t giving us some love? Here’s our photo gallery of Goulart at her most gorgeous.

The big question surrounding Kate Upton (besides which side of her lip does her mole rest) has been: is she the Sports Illustrated Rookie of the Year?

Now, we’ve managed to find a few pictures from her recent photo shoot with Jenna Leigh lingerie. If you’re still fiending for more Upton, get down with this massive photo gallery of her in a bikini. See her pics after the jump!
