ELLE MACPHERSON - MACPHERSON DROPS KLUM LAWSUIT

ELLE MACPHERSON has dropped plans to file a lawsuit against German beauty HEIDI KLUM, after being inspired by a meeting with Buddhist spiritual leader the Dalai Lama. MACpherson accused fellow supermodel HEIDI KLUM of stealing her nickname, after the German catwalk queen called herself 'The Body' in a television commercial. Australian MACpherson has used the moniker since it was employed to describe her in a Time magazine cover story in 1986. But the 43-year-old was so moved by the Dalai Lama's teachings, she's decided to let the whole spat go. She says, "A few people have made me stop in my tracks and the Dalai Lama would be one of them. It's no big deal for me. She can have it."
