Natalie Gulbis will be featured in the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, according to a report from an unlikely source. The source? Gulbis' good friend Cristie Kerr. Posting on Twitter, Kerr wrote: "Look for (Gulbis) in the SI swimsuit issue coming out soon! Body painting!"
Body painting? Assuming Kerr is correct in what she tweeted, then Gulbis won't even be wearing a swimsuit in the swimsuit issue, she'll be nude - but with body painting creating the illusion of a swimsuit. (See the Body Painting section of SI.com's Swimsuit 2011 feature to see how it works - not necessarily safe for work).
Gulbis' appearance in the 2012 Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition has not yet been confirmed by Gulbis herself, nor by SI.
Gulbis has famously posed for bikini pics in the past, both for her own annual calendars (which she stopped doing a few years ago), and for magazines. Gulbis' first wall calendar was released in 2004 and was considered too hot for the USGA - the governing body banned the calendar's sale at the 2004 U.S. Women's Open. Later in 2004, Gulbis appeared in a racy photo shoot for FHM magazine.
SI's annual swimsuit issue usually comes out in February, so look for Gulbis' appearance then (but just to reiterate: there is no confirmation yet). If you can't wait to see Gulbis in a swimsuit (or what appears to be a swimsuit, anyway), check out our Natalie Gulbis Glamour Shots gallery, which includes a few of her bikini pics.
