irenistiQ Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 news!MACPHERSON AND KLUM FIGHT OVER 'THE BODY'ELLE MACPHERSONhas accused fellow supermodel HEIDI KLUM of stealing her nickname, after the German catwalk queen called herself "The Body" in a television commercial. Australian MACpherson has used the moniker since it was employed to describe her in a Time magazine cover story in 1986. So she was baffled by the ad for Victoria's Secret's The Body bra, in which Klum claims, "They call me The Body - and now I have a bra named after me." MELISSA EDWARDS, spokesperson for MACpherson's underwear company Elle MACpherson Intimates, tells the New York Daily News, "We saw that and were like, 'Oh my god!' We were initially flabbergasted. "We have numerous press clippings in the office referring to her as 'The Body'. Everything from Harper's Bazaar to Vogue to the recent Sports Illustrated calls her that. In terms of public record, that name belongs to Elle." The 43-year-old Aussie is particularly riled because she uses her moniker on a range of products, including skin-care line Elle MACpherson The Body, her lingerie brand and a fitness video.11/08/2006 12:16 --->contactmusic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liv4beauty Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Elle just wants publicity. It's true that Elle is the original "body" but that name was given to Heidi after she debuted on the VS show. Elle needs to lighten up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liv4beauty Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I like Gisele's body because it's athletic and tight. However, it's a little too lean for me. I prefer's Heidi's womanly curves over Gisele's. The body is fitting for Heidi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
