Irina Shayk - Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, 2011
I was wondering why I had a huge increase in traffic on this blog post on Irina Shayk:

And this just-released cover is why...
Russian-born Irina scored the coveted Sports Illustrated 'Swimsuit Issue' cover for 2011.
She found out about the hotly contested spot at a taping of David Letterman's show, where a giant billboard was unveiled to reveal this very hot pic (so hot in fact, that Entertainment Tonight's coverage of the announcement featured blurred-out boobs). Seriously? So prudish.
Shayk is also the girlfriend of soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, so she has been enjoying loads of, well, exposure of late.
"I think that now my life is going to change," she told ET, after the magazine cover unveiling.
You think?
