Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2008

As always, the widely anticipated Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition causes heads to turn and searches online to soar for everything from "sports illustrated swimsuit" to "si swimsuit 2008." This year, the lovely Marisa Miller (wearing Alex Woo jewelry in previous issues) graces the cover. Race car driver Danica Patrick and other lovelies, including 4 athletes' wives, 12 NFL cheerleaders, Leonardo di Caprio's girl friend, Heidi Klum, and Will Ferrell are also inside. This year's edition was photographed at the Cayman Islands, Israel, Maui, Russia, St. John as well as several other exotic locations.
