Elle Macpherson has fallen out with Heidi Klum

Elle Macpherson has fallen out with Heidi Klum over who deserves the nickname 'The Body'.

Elle Macpherson has been using the nickname since 1986 when Time magazine bestowed it upon her, but last week Victoria's Secret launched a new bra with the same name, and claimed to have named it after Heidi Klum.

Heidi Klum told reporters at the launch:

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

But a spokesperson for Elle Macpherson said:

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.
