Sports Illustrated is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its annual swimsuit issue this year. Here, we examine all 50 covers to see how "sexy" has evolved since 1964. Or didn't. (Hint: still boobs.)
"Model. Actress. Icon." V Magazine is celebrating "the year of Kate Upton" by putting the model/actress/icon on their cover and asking "Why Can't Kate Upton Keep Her Clothes On?"
Today, gentlemen, we were reminded why we lug our reputations as troglodytes well into the 21st century. A woman named Marion Bartoli proved athletic enough to win a singles title at Wimbledon and was thereupon described to BBC Radio 5 listeners as something other than "a looker." Because, you see, it is not enough to…
A recent study by the Department of Sociology at the University of Louisville asks a very good question: Where are all the women in Sports Illustrated? Unless they're models wearing bikinis, they're certainly not on the cover. Researchers found that of the 716 SI issues published between 2000 and 2011, a mere 35 of…
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue strikes again!
Ellen DeGeneres quizzed Kate Upton about her new Sports Illustrated cover. "This seems hard to swim in," offers DeGeneres of Upton's cover look, which included a jacket. "Well, Antarctica is also a hard place to swim in," replies Upton.
Did you notice the ad on the back cover of this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue? (You have a subscription to that, right?) It's a lot like the front cover, which features Kate Upton standing in freezing Antartica in nothing but undies and an unzipped winter coat (fun fact: this almost killed her), only…
For the 2013 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, the magazine photographed models on all 7 continents. A world tour of ill-fitting "swim" wear! But sometimes a half-naked lady standing in front of a gorgeous natural backdrop just isn't enough. So the photographers used natives as props.
I bet you never thought Sports Illustrated would make you cry. Well tonight you're about to experience a world of new wonders with the 2012 Sports Illustrated Kids SportsKids of the Year, brothers Conner and Cayden Long.
I have some questions about this video.
An alert tipster spotted this homemade device at a grocery store in Tucson, Arizona. It's blocking what was apparently determined to be a scandalous Elle cover featuring the very pregnant body of Jessica Simpson. The tipster reports that it's been there for a week; so it is certainly intentional, as the charming…
The cover of this year's famed Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue has leaked, and it is, well, revealing. Model Kate Upton is showing a great deal of sideboob, but more worrisome is what's happening down below. Isn't that suit—it's really more of an eyepatch, actually—so disturbingly small and low that some of her…
Walter Iooss has spent the last 38 years traveling the world to shoot models in swimsuits for Sports Illustrated. Leaving aside Tyra and Paulina (and Kathy and Petra), Iooss's book Heaven includes some images of breathtaking beauty, including this. [VanityFair]

• Lindsey Vonn appears on the cover of Sports Illustrated in a pose that some say represents all that is wrong with the media coverage of female athletes. Women Talk Sports says:
