Elle MacPherson Agrees to Share the 'Body'

What was supposed to be a bitter legal battle for a mere nickname, ended abruptly after the famous model Elle Macpherson met with Dalai Lama and got some spiritual guidance. It all started a couple of months ago, when Heidi Klum launched her own bra, called 'The Body Bra'.

In the commercial that was made especially for the purpose of promoting it, Heidi said: 'They call me The Body - and now I have a bra named after me. It's a big honor having a bra named after my nickname that people know in the business'. The very next day after the shot, Macpherson's people were more than enraged that Klum used a name that is not rightfully hers for a product.

'In terms of public record, the name belong to Elle', a lawyer for Elle said and, immediately after that, filed a lawsuit to let the authorities decide to whom the name legally belongs. The point is that both parties had strong arguments for their side of the story, but Elle was the one who was most known under that name, for her admirable long legs and enviable curves.

Not being the kind of person to hold a grudge for too long, Macpherson just announced that she lets Heidi keep the name if she wants it that bad. 'A few people made me stop in my tracks and the Dalai Lama would be one of them. It's no big deal for me. She [Heidi] can have it', Elle said in a public statement.

All the better, now we have two 'Bodies' to admire. It's a win-win situation...
