Props to @willdefries for the heads up. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S.I. was originally scheduled to announce the cover girl and reveal the cover shot at an event tonight ... but now, the cat is out of the bag. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We called S.I. about the early release ... but reps for the mag had no comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://photos.toofab.com/galleries/kate_uptons_sexiest_shots#tab=eye_candy\"&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0213_kate_footer\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/13/0213-kate-footer-1.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
