MACPHERSON COY ABOUT TOYBOY LOVER

Australian model ELLE MACPHERSON has refused to confirm or deny reports she's dating artist/filmmaker JULIAN SCHNABEL's 21-year-old son, stating she's close with "all the Schnabels". The 44-year-old lingerie designer has been romantically linked to art dealer Vito Schnabel for weeks, but she has refused to talk about the relationship publicly. But, when she was asked if there was any truth to the rumour she and Vito - who is half the stunning star's age - are an item at the New York Fashion Week party on Tuesday (05Feb08), MACPherson smiled and said, "It makes for good newspaper stuff, doesn't it? I'm good friends with Julian and all the Schnabels. They're friends of the family."
