ELLE MACPHERSON - ELLE ADMITS TWO-YEAR CELIBACY

If Elle MacPherson is struggling to get a date, there's no hope for the rest of us.

The Australian supermodel has told Esquire magazine that she has been (almost) celibate for two whole years.

"It's crazy - but apart from a brief romantic intermission last summer, I have been single and celibate for two years. How boring is that?" she asked.

Given that she is world-famous as "The Body", the 42-year-old might have harboured hopes of a slightly more interesting love life. What's worse is that it's not like she isn't even trying – it's just not working out.

"I'm a hopeless flirt. I'll go up to a guy and say, 'I think you are so beautiful,' but it doesn't work," she said.

Things look black for singletons everywhere. But her denial that she is in any way romantically linked to actor Ray Fearon could hold a clue as to the reason for her lack of love.

"Some of them I don't even know. Others are just friends. I don't do flings because relationships are important to me," she said.

Ah, that's it – she's just fussy. Crisis over.
