The Body

There's a 'dispute' between Heidi Klum and Elle MacPherson at the moment over who rightfully owns the title, 'The Body.' According to people.aol.com in the latest Victoria's Secret commercial, Klum states:

"They call me The Body - and now I have a bra named after me."

MacPherson's camp responded with:

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. Source

I'm not a big Elle MacPherson fan, not because I have a beef with The Bod, but she doesn't really register on my celeb radar. I am however a huge fan of Heidi Klum's - mostly because I think she is fantastic on Project Runway - smart, likeable, and more than anything, she comes across as being genuine. But Heidi, as much as I think your body rocks, and your hair, and your dress sense, I think Elle's right on this one; as long as I've been reading Cosmo and following the super model craze (a long long time - sad I know), the term 'The Body' was coined for Elle.
