Aug 11 2006Heidi Klum and Elle Macpherson care about weird things

Heidi Klum and Elle Macpherson are in a strange supermodel battle over who gets to be called "The Body." Elle has been known as "The Body" since a Time magazine article in 1986 called her so, but this week Klum has been ad campaigning for Victoria's Secre'st new bra and says in a commercial: "They call me The Body - and now I have a bra named after me."

"We saw that and were like, Oh my god!" Elle Macpherson Intimates spokeswoman Melissa Edwards told Lowdown yesterday. "We were initially flabbergasted." Now it's a battle of the supermodel moguls � Macpherson, the 42-year-old, 6-foot Aussie mother of two, against Klum, the 33-year-old, 5-foot-9 mother of two (with one on the way). Elle's flack, Edwards, invoked the 1986 Time cover and added: "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."

If you look this good at 42 then you deserve to be called whatever the hell you want. The Body? Sure, whatever. Princess Mimi of the Galactic Federation? Why not? You've earned it.

More NSFW pictures of Elle hanging out topless in the Caribbean after the jump.

Heidi Klum IS The Body! God, just take a look at her! Nobody beats Heidi Klum. Nobody.

2nd bitches now im gonna go and read the article

Heidi Klum definitely has the better body.. but Elle is 9 years older, so they're kind of equal =p

Heidi Klum can call herself "Das Booty"

Elle is gorgeous. GORGEOUS! The original. The one and only. Eat your heart out Heidi.

but I wonder how Jesse Ventura feels about this???

Elle's kind of...lacking curves, if you ask me. No waist, no butt, not much boobage.

Definitely no silicone- very classy. Kinda makes me feel like goin' lesbian- for one day, at least!

The Body???? There can be no "the body" without "the ASS"!!!! This protein deprived vomit addicts need to eat some Spanish food, something to get the junk back in the trunk. Sorry, I don't see it. Gimme J-Ho or even Jessica Biel any day of the week over these two giant size 2's...

its all Elle, shes the best, hottest, shes jus hott, hott, hott, oh and shes hott

shes hott

Wait...

Wait...

Wait...!

I thought I aws "the body"?

#6 HA!!!!!

I look at these women and I know there is a God.

I'm sorry but I can't get over the fact that Seal sprayed his love juice all up inside her. That would be a great porno tape though. It would we found at one of those sites named "Butt Ugly Guys Pork Supermodel Girls For YOUR pleasure!"

Must be the day of cat fights among famous chicks. Reese Witherspoon apparently has said (about Jessic Simpson) "Creating a cultural icon out of someone who goes, 'I'm stupid, isn't it cute?' makes me want to throw daggers."

#15

That's because those German chicks don't let silly little things like racism, attractiveness, or personal hygiene get in the way of attaining the biggest straw for the ol' juicebox. Planning my trip to Germany as we speak...

It's just a fucking ad campaign! Klum didn't write it herself...and for the record, my boyfriend's mom is a former model who is now 43, looks 22 and better than both of those bitches.

18: so that would make you......12? Why aren't you at daycamp?

Dammit, I was gonna do the Jesse Ventura bit. Oh well, good one, jrzmommy.

I think Elle and Heidi should fight to the death. The giant Australian vs. the giant German. Pay-per-view. Think about it. It would be like Godzilla vs. Mothra, only with hot chicks. I mean, if Elle's gonna make such a big freakin deal over it, just settle it like women instead of boring us with the bitchy back-and-forth. Two bitches go in, one comes out.

As for odds, really, I don't know. Elle's 10 years older, but she looks like she's still in awfully good shape, plus she's got 3 inches on Heidi. But... Heidi's younger and she's been spending the last three years gestating and giving birth, which can make you mean. But Elle's probably approaching menopause, so that makes you even meaner. Australians love a good brawl, but Germans can be vicious and sneaky. I don't know, man, I think it's running even right now. I can't handicap properly without all the info.

@6 - Great!!!

@15 - I wanted to do a, "but Klum is married to Justin Igger"- Thanks a fucking lot!

#18 - Send us a picture (of your boyfriends MILF) preferably nekkid!!!

All this time and still so oh fine!

Elle is "The Body" she's been called that for years. And while I love Heidi and think she's very cute and sweet and sexy, her hips are too damn big to be called "the body" Heidi is "the boobs" Elle is "the body"

I think Heidi has a way better body.

I think it's arrogant of Elle to complain about such a petty little thing.

Isn't Jesse Ventura "The Body?"

Isn't Elle also known as "Smelly Elle" because she reportedly has bad b.o.? I don't expect she'll litigate if someone wants to take that moniker.

I think I'm getting a cataract that spells out Splash News.

Who cares about this....We should be talking about why I cant take deoderant on the plane anymore!

They can go on and fight it out in a big vat of baby oil.

Man, it's been so long since I've read/posted, it took me until post 27 to recognize a name.
Anyone who has ever seen the pic of Elle in the '86 SI swimsuit thing with the bamboo and black top knows who reigns supreme.
What happened here?
My puter had more viruses than a tiujana free clinic...

dude, post some naked pictures of heidi so we can do a real comparison!! are we losing scientific integrity here on the sf???

Hey, Sodomy_is_for_Girls, this site has been taken over by 14 year old British girls. All the cool kids went to a cool website that I can't access from work. They left me behind to die in the trenches with the faggy British kids. Forest Gump would never do that. They should try to be more like Forest Gump.

It's Elle all the way, and that's it for my boring post. Go away Heidi.

Osh, I've got your back.
Did you ever try my recipe for fruit roll-ups?
The whole oral sex thing?
Heidi Klum.
(I don't know how strict Edna made them about staying on topic...)
There's nothing wrong wtih 14-year old British girls...
Unless you get caught...

Clearly Princess Mimi of the Galactic Federation has precedence.

#all i'm amazed that 35 of you have bothered to comment on this thread

I'm amazed that all 36 of you have bothered to comment on this thread...SCLTC!!!!

Sodomy, one day I came home from work with a bag full of pastrami and peanut butter, and my panties all full of horny, and he asked me if we were having pastrami and peanut butter for dinner. So I let him watch football as I forlornly scrubbed the horny out of my panties, although it left a stain - just like the stain on my heart.

joe simpson is the body in my mind!! or maybe it's that he covets his daughter's bodies...i'm confused..WWJD??

http://popculturepundit.blogspot.com/

elle lost all credibility as THE BODY when she showed off her sagging little tits. TEAM HEIDI.

Didn't Jesse "The Body" Ventura take that name years before when he was a wrestler? Or maybe he gave that name to Elle to get her to give him a hummer one night after an all night coke binge at Danceteria.

TEAM HEIDI

After two kids anyone that looks like that can be called The Body.

http://www.holisticwisdom.com

TEAM BEYONCE. Neither one of those white girls have anything on her.

Is "The Body" owned as a trademark, by either of these models? No? Then what about "Shut The Hell Up You Cunts" TM.

So,,, that's it? this is what we are left with going into the weekend? (depressing)
SCLTC!!!!!!

I don't know, man...
she seems more of "lack of body" to me...where's the tiny waist? where's the firm round ass? Sure Beyonce's got a little too much body, but come on. This is getting ridiculous.

Where's Donald Trump when you need him?

What the fuck does Donald Trump have to do with this?

Thanks for ruining my girly wood.

#19...wow that's funny, cuz i just so happen to be a year and half older than my man, whose mom is older than mine. I'm 20, not 12. Not everyone waits til they're about to go through menopause to have kids.

Oh.. oh . Seem to be recognized by Sodomy #30.
Bummer.
Better put the shades back on, lay low 4 a while and get my ass out of here.

Elle needs to edit her so-called 'name' to 'The Body, Sans Butt'.

According to Wikipedia -

The Body can refer to multiple topics:

The Body is a short story written by Stephen King.
The Body is also a bestselling book on human biology, written by Anthony Smith.
The Body is a 1949 novel by William Sansom.
The Body is also the title of the 1983 book by Richard Sapir which was made into:
The Body a 1991 a film starring Antonio Banderas.
The Body is also a nickname given to the Australian model Elle Macpherson
The Body is also a nickname given professional wrestler/actor/politician Jesse Ventura.
The Body is also the name of a two-piece stoner metal band originally from Little Rock, Arkansas.
The Body is also the name of the sixteenth episode of the fifth season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer

I see nothing about Heidi Klum. Case closed. All hail the mighty Wiki!!

I've always heard Heidi Klum referred to as 'the Body.' This was the first time I'd ever heard anyone call Elle MacPherson that.

#23, "The Body", I'm sure, refers to a woman's body. Women have hips. Therefore, a model famous for a body without hips should probably be called "the Little Boy."

#4

She would actually call herself "der Korper"

Heidi has big stinky feet.
And big greasy sausage toes.

If Heidi can look like that after two kids (and she's currently pregnant with the third) then what exactly are the implications for Britney?

I meant Elle.

Good point Rosemary. Shouldn't the women that model women's clothes look like women? Let the Little Boys model kids clothes.

Elle is channeling Teri Hatcher in these photos.

Before all of this started, I thought Giselle Bundchen was "The Body." Maybe it's sort of a generic nickname for the Victoria Secret girls.

I have only ever heard of Elle being refered to as "The Body" and never Heidi Klum. Elle even has it as part of her brandname on her products and has for years. Probably the main reason why Elle and her business associates are so angry about this.

Anyway, Wikipedia confirms it. Elle is the one officially noted as The Body. Heidi needs to shut the fuck up.

Only one "The Body"
* Ventura looked great in rhinestones.
* Ventura worked with Gorilla Monsoon.
* Ventura defined the class of wearing a feathered boa.
* Ventura made Hulk Hogan look like he was actually a wrestler.
* Of the three, Ventura has had the least amount of body work.

All hail the Body himself, Jesse Ventura.
Wannabe bitches.
But I'd still nail either one in a heartbeat.

Haaaaaaaaaaa, #4. I should have quit reading this thread after that one.

@54 and 59- I'm sure skinny women take offense to the fact that you think they are not "real" women. Elle looks healthy and beautiful to me!

They can both feck off. Yawn. Put them in a giant vat of jello and let them fight for the title.

she may be married to seal but in all seriousness she's just married to Justin Igger!

Would people PLEASE stop talking about wikipedia? It's useful, but if people can adjust the contents and change stuff, it's hardly official or conclusive. All it takes is a bit of adjustment and bingo, Heidi is the Body too!

As they've pointed out, it's a nickname for more than one person, including a pro wrestler.

Seriously, Elle's career seems to be in the dumps now, while Heidi's is hot. Elle is probably about to create a reality show or something, and needs some quick publicity. Next she'll be suing mystery writers for repeatedly talking about "the body" without mentioning her.

Reminds me of the ultra whiny ex-sex-symbol Bardot suing a French water company, because they dared to use the French word "bebe."

Are you guys crazy?? Heidi's body is friggin weird. Don't believe me?

"Child-bearing" is the only way I can describe them.

This is for all the stupid bitches who have wrote that Elle has the body of a 'little boy'. Are you f*cking mental?? It is completely obvious that whoever wrote that is a 350 lb trailor trash whore that has nothing better to do that bag out beautful women. Elle is gorgeous. Thats why she's a supermodel and you are just some jealous bitch sitting at her computer hating on the beautiful people. Thin tall women are hot. Live with it or go on a diet. But stop pretending like it doesnt look good.

@68 how dare you mercedes, I'm not 350, I cut down on the cheetos and beer and now I'm down to a svelte 299. I'm dead sexay!

There was already an "Irma The Body" in the 50s anyway:

http://home.hiram.edu/osa/phigams/IrmaFace.jpg

I prefer it when a woman has enough weight on her that you can't see the shape of whatever she swallows as it travels down her esophagus and into her belly. But that's just me.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Jamie Lee Curtis "The Body?" I'm pretty sure she was so-named before any supermodel.

She has definitely had those nipples lifted!

this cannot possibly be 'the body'

=====
======== 42 years old? She looks wonderful!
