Sports Illustrated is releasing its Swimsuit issue next Monday, and sources tell us that it’s likely they will have three covers starring tennis champ Serena Williams, 63-year-old model Christie Brinkley, and possibly Kate Upton.
Last year, the magazine also used three covers, which featured extra curvy model Ashley Graham, Hailey Clauson and mixed martial arts champ Ronda Rousey in body paint.
Sources tell us that an appearance by Upton — whose Rookie of the Year pictures in the mag in 2011 helped make her a star — is still up in the air because of her diva demands.
“There was drama,” says the source. “Kate demanded that if she did the shoot, that she absolutely must get the cover. She also had a list of photographers and hair and makeup people she would only work with.”
Upton appeared on the magazine’s cover twice, in 2012 and 2013, when she was photographed in Antarctica.
The source continued of this time around, “She was being a big diva. She’s thinks she’s better than everyone now because she’s an actress.”
In 2015, Upton — who is engaged to MLB player Justin Verlander — was the subject of a New York Post article discussing whether her “ego is ‘ruining her career.’ One modeling industry vet said that her “demands became ridiculous.”
This year, Sports Illustrated has already released glam shots of Chrissy Teigen, Nina Agdal and Lais Ribeiro, which means they are unlikely to be on the cover.
Other sources said Brinkley also shot pics with her two daughters, Alexa Ray, 31, and Sailor, 18.
A spokesperson huffed about the speculation, “It’s that time of year again. Who is in, who’s on the cover, what will they do next? Everyone has a guess, and that’s all this is.”
Upton’s rep could not be reached.

They should make it 4 and add Bruce Jenner.
Serena Williams: It's a man, baby!
Christie Brinkley: Well beyond her use-by date.
Only the green M&Ms.
I didn’t realize you were gay.
And Ebola — he’s kind of a guhly-mannn.
Would that be like a ‘participation trophy cover’?
You have a screw loose, FRiend.
Tired of anonymous ahole sources like the ones that MSM claims are saying what a mess the Trump administration is. I’m going to assume Kate didn’t do any of this. I do assume the worst of that troll Chrissy Teigen, tho.
Serena? The Trannie look alike?
“Kate demanded that if she did the shoot, that she absolutely must get the cover.”
I would like to second that demand and I care not if she is a diva.
toss Kate off the cover and give it to Chrissie Tiegen, she is long overdue for a full cover...not just the 50th anniversary one
Christie Brinkley looks great! Not sure about the expiration date thing.
NO...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHH......
C'mon! as you can plainly see - she is NOT guilty...
Except for the boob job...
A good rule of thumb is to always defer to Kate Upton.
Those are naturals my friend.
Aaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!
